School Terms of Use

BidandStudy is operated by BidandStudy Inc. (9550 S. Eastern Avenue, Ste. 253, Las Vegas, NV, 89123, United States). We act as a student-recruitment agent for accredited language schools — we are not a neutral marketplace. Our role and the related commercial obligations are described in the MSA.

This page (the "Terms") governs your use of the BidandStudy website and the School-facing areas of the platform — registration, catalog publishing, dashboard, messaging, and supporting features.

You represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of your School and have the authority to bind the School to these Terms and to the MSA. Only accredited language schools and accredited language programs offered by educational institutions may register on the Platform. We do not serve undergraduate or graduate degree programs.

We may verify your accreditation, regulatory standing, and authority at any time, including before approving your registration.

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide at registration and for keeping your account credentials secure. You must notify us promptly at security@bidandstudy.com of any suspected unauthorized access.

You must keep your designated contact, billing, and accreditation information current from your dashboard. Bids are routed based on the destinations, languages, programs and market exclusion controls you declare. Market exclusions are silent to the Student: an excluded School simply does not appear in that bid's candidate set, and no notice is given to the Student that any specific School opted out of their market.

For each bid received, the School may accept, decline (with optional reason recorded for data purposes), or send one counter-proposal. Responses are curated by the BidandStudy team before delivery to the Student to keep the experience consistent. A match is binding once the Student explicitly accepts the School's offer or counter-proposal on the Platform; from that moment the School must honour the price, conditions and schedule described in the accepted offer.

Each School is one account. Sub-accounts for different campuses or franchises require prior written approval.

Content you publish on the Platform — course details, photos, descriptions, prices, accommodation options, schedules — must be accurate, kept up to date, and free of personally identifiable information about staff or third parties.

You may not publish: misleading or unverifiable claims; pricing that you do not intend to honour; discriminatory criteria; offers that violate applicable consumer-protection laws of the student's country of residence; or content that infringes third-party intellectual property rights.

We may remove, hide, or correct content that violates these standards. Repeated violations may result in suspension under Section 11.

You must publish — at registration or before your School is approved — a clear tuition cancellation and refund policy that applies to the tuition payment the Student makes directly to your School. The policy is shown to the Student on the offer card before they accept and is part of the basis on which the Student decides to enroll. You can edit it at any time from your dashboard, but the version shown to the Student at the moment they accept the offer is the version that applies to that booking — you may not retroactively rewrite it after acceptance.

This policy is your School's own policy and is independent of BidandStudy's confirmation-fee refund rules (which are governed by the MSA, clause 4). If your published policy is silent or ambiguous on a specific situation, the Student-favourable interpretation will apply for matters routed through us. Where this Section conflicts with the MSA on the same matter, the MSA prevails.

You may not publish a policy that conflicts with the consumer-protection laws of the Student's country of residence, that is misleading, or that contradicts what was disclosed in your offer. We may require edits or refuse to surface offers from Schools that do not maintain a current, lawful policy.

Until a Student has accepted your offer and the matching event has been confirmed on the Platform, you may not share or request any personal contact information (emails, phone numbers, links, social media handles, messaging app handles), and you may not request payments outside the Platform.

Once the Student has accepted your offer and the confirmation step is complete, the Platform provides the contact handover and the relationship continues between School and Student directly, in line with the MSA.

This section is informational only. The binding terms — commission percentage, collection model, and refund of the confirmation fee — are in the MSA, clauses 3 and 4.

In short: BidandStudy collects its commission either as a confirmation fee paid by the Student at acceptance (Default), or as an invoice issued to the School after the course start date (Opt-in). The Student pays the School directly for tuition, accommodation, transfers, insurance, and any ancillary items, on the School's own terms.

BidandStudy does not hold Student funds in escrow and is not a payment service provider for the School's revenue.

Each party acts as an independent data controller for the personal data it collects through the Platform. BidandStudy's practices are described in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

You agree to handle any Student personal data received through the Platform with strict confidentiality, solely for enrollment-related purposes, and in compliance with applicable laws of the Student's country of residence — including GDPR for European students and LGPD for Brazilian students.

You may not use Student data for unsolicited marketing, share it with third parties (other than as strictly required to deliver the booked course), or retain it beyond what is necessary. The MSA incorporates this Section by reference for any student personal data the School receives through the Platform.

You retain ownership of the original content you publish on the Platform (course descriptions, images, branding). By publishing content, you grant BidandStudy a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to display, reproduce and distribute that content solely to operate and promote the Platform and the matching service.

You represent that the content you publish does not infringe any third-party intellectual property, publicity, or privacy rights, and that you have all clearances required (including for images of staff, students, and third-party premises).

The BidandStudy name, logo, "LeilãodeIntercâmbio" mark, and Platform interfaces are owned by BidandStudy Inc. and may not be used without prior written consent, except to identify your participation on the Platform.

We may review bids, catalog content, messages, and account activity at any time to verify compliance with these Terms, the MSA, and applicable law. This includes automated review, manual moderation, and curation of School responses before they are forwarded to Students.

You agree to comply with all laws and regulations that apply to your activities — including consumer protection, truthful advertising, anti-discrimination, anti-bribery, sanctions, child safeguarding for students under 18, and data privacy in every jurisdiction where you operate.

Where a School uploads a custom agent contract during registration or later, we use AI tooling (currently the OpenAI API, under its no-training-on-API-data policy) to assist our team with the review — extracting key terms, flagging conflicts with our MSA, and listing missing protections. The output is advisory only; every approve / reject decision on a custom contract is made by a human reviewer at BidandStudy, and the source PDF you upload remains the authoritative document.

BidandStudy acts as your student-recruitment agent on the Platform. We do not control admission decisions, course delivery, accommodation, visa outcomes, or the Student's personal circumstances, and we do not guarantee any specific volume of bids, conversion rates, or revenue.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability to a School arising out of or relating to the Platform — whether in contract, tort, or otherwise — is limited to the commission actually received by BidandStudy from that School in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages.

Nothing in this Section limits liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law (for example, our duties as your agent, fraud, wilful misconduct, or gross negligence).

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform — partially or fully — if you breach these Terms or the MSA, if your accreditation lapses, if there are credible safeguarding or fraud concerns, if you fail to respond to Student bids over a sustained period, or if continued access would expose BidandStudy or our users to legal or reputational risk.

Suspension of platform access does not, by itself, terminate the MSA. Termination of the partnership is governed by the MSA, clause 8. Bids already accepted by Students remain binding under the MSA.

Either party (School, Student, or BidandStudy) may raise a complaint by writing to disputes@bidandstudy.com. We will assign a case owner within 5 business days and attempt good-faith mediation within 30 days before any formal legal step is taken.

This procedure covers disputes about offers, refunds, conduct on the Platform, and any matter arising from these Terms or the MSA. Where mediation does not resolve the matter, the venue and governing law are described in Section 14 below for matters arising from these Terms; commercial disputes between School and BidandStudy are governed by the MSA, clause 8.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Platform is the state and federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada. The MSA contains a separate dispute-resolution clause for the commercial relationship.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the latest version. Material changes are notified to registered Schools by email or in-app banner. Your continued use of the Platform after the change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Material changes to the commercial relationship are amendments to the MSA and follow the MSA's amendment process (clause 10), not this Section.
