Welcome to EdXeno. We connect higher education institutions with students like never before through instant messaging, push notifications, and live streaming. Students receive college application advising, locate college planning resources, and explore universities.
This Terms of Service applies to your use of the EdXeno.com website and the EdXeno Service (collectively “the EdXeno Service” or “the Service”), as well as your relationship with EdXeno Corp, its affiliates, and service providers (hereinafter referred to as “EdXeno” “we” “us” or “our”).
If you do not agree with these Terms, including the Binding Arbitration Clause and a Class Action waiver included below, please discontinue using the Service.
These Terms will change over time. If we make minor changes to the Terms without materially changing your rights, we will post the modified Terms on our website. We will notify you by email, through the EdXeno Service, or by presenting you with a new Terms of Service to accept if we make a modification that materially changes your rights. When you use the EdXeno Service after a modification is posted, you are telling us that you accept the modified terms.
If you have a written agreement with EdXeno that states that it supersedes this Terms of Service (for example if you are a University Partner), then to the extent there is any conflict between the documents, the provisions in your separate agreement apply.
EdXeno takes user privacy seriously and does not permit third parties to bulk collect student data, university data, or other content from our Services through the use of automated scripts (“scraping”), similar or other technologies or methodologies. For more information on our privacy practices, please read our Privacy Policy.

This university will then be able to send you messages and push notifications within the app. Limited information in your profile will become visible to the applicable universities(s)—including your name, date of birth, location, and primary contact email—but any other personal information in your profile will be hidden or masked, including the information (essays, resume, private messages) you shared with EdXeno advisors.

Any information you share directly with EdXeno is subject to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
Creating an University Account:
Creating an University Account: To create an University Account you must either associate yourself with a current EdXeno University Partner (“University Partner”) and be approved by that university or create a new University Account. You are prohibited from creating an account for anyone other than yourself, unless you have received express authorization from an employer or client to do so on their behalf. University Partners do not have access to any student profiles unless they are approved by EdXeno to access student information that the student chooses to share.
When you create a EdXeno University Account, we request contact information, including email address and telephone number, to provide a point of contact. We will not use your phone number to send any commercial or marketing messages to you from third parties. We may share your data with vendors who provide us with assistance in preventing or detecting fraud or other misuse of our services. You agree to provide accurate and current information and to correct any misrepresentations immediately upon discovery. By creating a University Account you represent and warrant that you own or have obtained all rights necessary to allow EdXeno access to and processing of any data, materials or information you provide to EdXeno, and you authorize EdXeno to access, use and display such information for the purpose of providing the Service.
When you create a EdXeno University Account, students will only have access to the information that you make public. Once your account has been approved, you will receive student data through our Service. You are prohibited from disclosing or sharing this information with other parties, and agree to keep student data confidential. You shall only use student data to provide college application services to the student and not use, sell, or disclose EdXeno Data for any purposes including external advertising, external marketing or any other purpose even if such EdXeno Data is aggregated or de-identified. You agree to handle and maintain collected student data with equivalent or superior standards as those described in our Privacy Policy, including the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 regarding any Student Personal Data you receive from EdXeno.
You also agree not to use the Service to send spam or other unauthorized communications, and you agree not to use any collected student data for purposes not authorized by EdXeno. These prohibitions are addressed in further detail below.

Through the use of the Service, you will be able to search and filter student results based on a wide range of criteria. You agree to maintain a fair and equitable recruitment process when selecting student candidates. You also agree not to discriminate based on ethnicity, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or veteran status as prohibited by law. You can contact students directly through the Service. By using this Service, you agree not to stalk, defame, bully, harass, abuse, threaten, intimidate, or impersonate any people or entities.
University Accounts are administered by the university’s designated account administrators. If the university chooses to allow additional individual employees to access the EdXeno Service through the University Account, you agree that the account administrators are responsible for the use of the Service by those individual employees, including requests related to personal data collected from those individual employees. You acknowledge and agree that EdXeno is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of your organization, which may be different than, but with respect to your access to the EdXeno Service may not be less protective than, these Terms or our Privacy Policy.
You acknowledge and agree, moreover, that, to ensure your compliance with these Terms, EdXeno may review the application flow associated with any new post before it becomes available to applicants on the EdXeno Service.
Third Party Guidelines:
EdXeno is excited to offer as many college application opportunities to students as possible, including those offered by third party recruiters. However, we do not permit outside services to bulk collect student data, university data, event descriptions, or other information using automated scripts (“scraping”), or similar or other technologies or methodologies. To protect our users and their data privacy, moreover, you may not use the data of students or other users for the purpose of marketing any opportunities other than the opportunity the applicant applied to through the EdXeno Service. For the same reason, you may not store any student’s or other user’s data for the purpose of (1) marketing opportunities to the applicant in the future; or (2) allowing any third party to use the data for marketing or any other reason. Third party recruiters are also prohibited from requiring students to create an account on a third-party platform unaffiliated with the company or brand providing the employment role. Any violation of these or any other Terms, at our discretion, may result in suspension or termination of the account(s) associated with you or your recruitment service.
No Spam:
We want EdXeno to be a platform where universities can connect with students and other users in a way that is productive for all involved. To that end, while we allow universities to contact students and other users, we do not allow you to use the Service to send unsolicited marketing messages or broadcasts (i.e., spam).
Spam can take many forms, and our rules, which are meant to address a wide range of inappropriate content or messaging, include but are not limited to: Unsolicited messages that aim to drive traffic or attention from the EdXeno Service to accounts, websites, products, services, or initiatives not directly related to a college admissions opportunity.Bulk or repeated identical messages, or high-volume messages with a low student response rate.Messages that fail to comply with applicable anti-spam laws and regulations.If we determine that you have sent spam or other unauthorized content, we may take any action we deem necessary to protect our users’ experience or the Service, including demanding that you cease violating these Terms, suspending your student messaging privileges, or suspending or terminating your account(s).
University Paid Services:
EdXeno may offer Universities certain paid upgrades, enhancements or other premium Services to enhance the EdXeno experience (“Paid Services”). The use of Paid Services is subject to the payment of fees, as determined by EdXeno, and as may be modified from time to time (“Fees”). All fees are in U.S. dollars and are non-refundable and may be charged by one of our affiliates and processed through a payment partner. Certain Paid Services and payment processing gateways may be subject to additional terms and conditions presented to you at the time of purchase, access or download. EdXeno reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order, or limit quantities purchased, at any time, in its sole discretion.
Paid Services may include a subscription that will renew on a monthly or annual (or other period) basis according to the terms of the subscription. Unless cancelled prior to the end of the then current subscription period, subscription Paid Services will automatically renew at the end of each subscription period, for a renewal period of equal duration at the then current Fees applicable to the Paid Service. By purchasing a subscription Paid Service, you acknowledge and agree that the Paid Service shall automatically renew in accordance with the above terms, and, unless you cancel your subscription, you authorize us to charge your payment method for the renewal term. You may cancel auto-renewal of your subscription at any time by visiting your account management center. When a subscription is canceled, you will not receive a prorated refund, but you will continue to have access to the Paid Services until the end of the term during which you canceled the subscription.
You shall be responsible for payment of all applicable local, state, federal or foreign taxes, levies or duties of any nature, including value-added, sales use or withholding taxes ("Taxes"). If EdXeno has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which you are responsible, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by you. By initiating an order for Paid Services, you authorize EdXeno to request and collect payment through our payment provider, and to make any inquiries necessary to validate your designated payment account or financial information. If your payment method fails or is not authorized or accepted, EdXeno reserves the right to cancel your order without notice and with no further liability or obligation to you. However, you will still be responsible to pay any Fees that are outstanding if we decide to cancel your order due to your failure to pay any Fees that are owed to us.
By purchasing Paid Services you agree that your use of the Paid Services is for your own internal use as intended by EdXeno, and your use is non-assignable, with no right to resell, reproduce or distribute. EdXeno reserves the right to cancel any Paid Services for failure to follow these Terms of Service.

You agree that in the event you incur any damages, losses or injuries that arise out of EdXeno’s acts or omissions, the damages, if any, caused to you are not irreparable or sufficient to entitle you to an injunction preventing any exploitation of any web site, service, property, product or other content owned or controlled by the EdXeno parties, and you will have no rights to enjoin or restrain the development, production, distribution, advertising, exhibition or exploitation of any web site, property, product, service, or other content owned or controlled by the EdXeno parties.

EdXeno is not responsible for the actions, content, information, or data of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties.

Dispute Resolution:
You agree that any dispute between you and EdXeno arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service, the EdXeno Service, or any other EdXeno products or services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be governed by the arbitration procedure outlined below.
Governing Law: The Terms of Service and the resolution of any Disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
Informal Dispute Resolution:
We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against EdXeno, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting us via email at [email protected]. We'll try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting you through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after submission, you or EdXeno may bring a formal proceeding.
We Both Agree To Arbitrate:
You and EdXeno agree to resolve any Disputes through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below.
Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate:
You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting us by email at [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms of Service and stating that you (include your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement. Arbitration Procedures: The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, Seattle, Washington, or any other location we agree to.
Arbitration Fees:
The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. EdXeno will pay all arbitration fees for claims less than $75,000. EdXeno will not seek its attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.
Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate: Without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process described above, either you or EdXeno (1) may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Seattle, Washington, or any United States county where you live or work and seek an amount up to the jurisdictional limit for individuals in such small claims court (notwithstanding any limitation on such damages set forth herein), or (2) may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief (including, in the case of EdXeno, to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the EdXeno products or EdXeno Service), or for infringement or material breach of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights).
No Class Actions:
You may only resolve Disputes with EdXeno on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren't allowed under our agreement.
Judicial Forum for Disputes:
In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and EdXeno agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of King County, Washington. Both you and EdXeno consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. We both agree to waive our right to a jury trial.
Limitation on Claims: Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the EdXeno products or EdXeno Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.
Governing Law & Venue:
These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.
If any provision of these Terms of Service is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable during arbitration or by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Service and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. EdXeno’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. No waiver of any of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition.
Entire Agreement:
If you are using the Service on behalf of a legal entity, you represent that you are authorized to enter into an agreement on behalf of that legal entity. These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and EdXeno and governs your use of the Service, unless you have a separate signed agreement with EdXeno that states it supersedes this Terms of Service.
You will not assign the Terms of Service or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of EdXeno. Any purported assignment or delegation by you without the appropriate prior written consent of EdXeno will be null and void. EdXeno may assign these Terms of Service or any rights hereunder without your consent.
