What these terms cover

These terms apply to your use of the public studee.com site - programme pages, search, guides and other research content.

The public studee.com site is an anonymous research and discovery experience. It does not offer end-user accounts, sign-in, or an application journey for individual students.

Acceptance and changes

By accessing or using the site you confirm that you accept these terms and agree to comply with them. If you do not agree, you must not use the site.

We may update these terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the service, in our legal obligations, or in good practice. The version in force is the one published on this page on the date you use the site, and the effective_date shown in the page metadata records when the current version was published. For material changes we will take reasonable steps to draw the change to your attention, for example through a banner on the site.

Permitted use

We provide the public site so that you can:

  • research universities, programmes and study destinations;
  • compare programmes and read our guides and editorial content; and
  • contact us with general queries.

You may use the site for these purposes free of charge, in line with these terms.

Prohibited use

You must not:

  • use the site in any way that breaches any applicable local, national or international law or regulation;
  • access, scrape, copy or extract content from the site by automated means (including bots, crawlers or harvesters) without our prior written permission, except for reasonable indexing by general-purpose search engines that respect our robots.txt;
  • republish, sell, rent or sub-licence content from the site;
  • impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;
  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, the servers on which the site is hosted, or any account, computer or database connected to the site;
  • attempt to circumvent, disable or otherwise interfere with security features of the site, or any rate limits, access controls or technical restrictions;
  • introduce viruses, trojans, worms, logic bombs or other material that is malicious or technologically harmful;
  • conduct any denial-of-service or distributed denial-of-service attack against the site;
  • upload, transmit or post content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harassing, infringing of third-party rights, or otherwise objectionable; or
  • use the site in any way that could damage, disable, overburden or impair it, or interfere with any other party's use of it.

A breach of this section is a material breach of these terms. We may suspend or terminate your access to the site, and we may report serious breaches to the relevant authorities.

Content you provide

The public studee.com site offers limited opportunities to submit content (for example, an enquiry form). Where you do submit content to us through the public site, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, store and process that content for the limited purpose of operating the site, responding to your enquiry, and improving the service. We do not claim ownership of content you submit.

For details of how we treat intellectual property - including our marks, third-party content, and your rights as a contributor - see our Intellectual property rights policy. For how we handle personal data you provide, see our Privacy notice.

Privacy and cookies

We process personal data in line with our Privacy notice, which explains what we collect, why, and your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

We use cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookies notice. You control non-essential cookies through the cookie banner and the Cookie preferences link in the site footer.

Changes to the service

We may add, change, suspend or remove features of the site at any time. We will try to give reasonable notice of material changes that affect how you use the site, but we cannot always do so - for example where a change is needed for security or legal reasons. We do not guarantee that the site, or any particular content on it, will always be available or uninterrupted.

Accuracy of programme information

Programme information on studee.com - including entry requirements, fees, deadlines, intake dates and course content - is sourced from universities and other third parties. We strive to keep this information accurate and up to date, but we cannot guarantee that it is complete, current or free from error.

Before you make any decision based on programme information shown on the site (for example, applying to a university or paying a deposit), please verify the details directly with the university. We are not responsible for decisions you make based on third-party information that turns out to be inaccurate or out of date.

Disclaimers

The site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no representations or warranties about the site, including that it will be error-free, secure, or uninterrupted, or that any content on it is accurate, complete or current.

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or other applicable consumer protection law.

Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for:

  • death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
  • fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
  • any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under English law.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • we are not liable for any loss or damage that was not reasonably foreseeable at the time you used the site;
  • we are not liable for loss of profits, loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of opportunity, or any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the site; and
  • our total liability to you in connection with the site, in any twelve-month period, is limited to one hundred pounds sterling (GBP 100). This limit reflects the fact that the public site is provided to you free of charge.

If you use the site as a consumer, this section does not affect your non-excludable rights, including those under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against reasonable losses, damages, costs and expenses (including legal fees) that we incur as a direct result of:

  • your breach of the Prohibited use section above; or
  • your unlawful or fraudulent use of the site.

This indemnity is limited to losses caused by your misuse of the site. It is not a general indemnity for everything connected with your use of the site, and it does not apply where the loss is caused by our own act or omission.

Governing law

These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or your use of the site (including non-contractual disputes or claims), are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Jurisdiction

The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these terms or your use of the site. Nothing in these jurisdiction terms restricts mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of habitual residence where applicable law gives those rules priority - so if you use the site as a consumer resident outside England and Wales, you may also have the right to bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you are habitually resident, and to rely on mandatory consumer protection rules of that country, where applicable law gives you that right.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is found by a court or other competent authority to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable, or, if that is not possible, severed from these terms. The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Entire agreement

These terms, together with the documents they refer to (including our Privacy notice, Cookies notice and Intellectual property rights policy), set out the entire agreement between you and us in relation to your use of the public studee.com site. They replace any earlier understandings or arrangements between us on that subject. This section does not affect any liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Information society service disclosures

We provide the site as an information society service for the purposes of the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002. The information about us required by those regulations - including our company name, registered number, registered office and contact details - is set out under "Who we are" above.
