Terms of Service

Who we are and what these terms cover

StudyEverywhere PH (studyeverywhere.ph) is operated by Hoomantek Corporation, a corporation registered under the laws of the Republic of the Philippines ("we", "us"). These terms apply to everyone who creates an account: students, and representatives of partner organisations ("partners"). By creating an account you agree to them.

What we do, and what we don't

• We show students the programs they qualify for, based on their answers and each program's stated requirements, and pass applications and introduction requests between students and partners.
• We are a matching platform. We are not a recruitment or placement agency, we don't employ or deploy workers, and we are not a party to any agreement between a student and a partner.
• We can't guarantee an admission, a visa or any outcome. Eligibility results are a guide based on published requirements; the partner and the authorities of the destination country decide.
• Program information comes from the organisations that run the programs. We check it and correct what we can, but it can change; confirm the details with the partner before you commit to anything.

Your account

• You must be at least 18 to create an account.
• Give accurate information and keep it up to date. Programs are matched on it, and partners rely on it.
• Keep your password to yourself. Partner accounts are one login per organisation for now; the representative who registers is responsible for how it's used.
• You can download your data or delete your account at any time from your dashboard (see the Privacy Policy).

For students

• We never charge students. Some programs have their own fees, paid to the organisation that runs them, never to us; the school or program partner tells you about them before you apply. Be wary of anyone who asks you to pay them in our name, and tell us.
• You choose whether partners can find your anonymised profile, and you can turn it off at any time.
• Your name and contact details go to a partner only when you accept their introduction request, or when you apply to their program and agree to share them.

For partner organisations

• Verification. We check every organisation before it can see any student information, and we may refuse or suspend an account, with the reason, if we can't verify it or it breaks these terms.
• Student data. Use a student's details only to discuss your program with that student. Keep them confidential, don't share or sell them, don't add them to marketing lists, and delete them if the student asks. Comply with the Philippine Data Privacy Act and the rules of the Department of Migrant Workers that apply to you.
• No fees from students in our name. Don't ask students to pay you, or anyone else, as a condition of an introduction made through StudyEverywhere PH.
• Accurate programs. Program information you give us, including fees and requirements, must be accurate. Suggested edits are reviewed by our team before they are published.
• Contact through the platform. Don't try to identify or contact students outside an introduction or an application.

Partner plans and billing

• Every introduction request you send counts once, on the day you send it.
• A request the student declines, that goes unanswered for 7 days, or that our team declines is given back.
• Your allowance resets on the 1st of each month.
• The allowance belongs to your organisation’s login (one login per organisation for now; each request records who at your organisation sent it).
• Billing. There is no card checkout. You ask for a plan from your dashboard; we confirm by email and invoice you monthly in advance. Prices are in Philippine pesos (PHP) and include no hidden fees; any bank or transfer charges on your side are shown on the invoice before you pay.
• Changing or cancelling. You can move to another plan, including the free Scout plan, from your dashboard at any time. A downgrade or cancellation takes effect at the end of the month you have paid for.
• Your plan never releases a student's contact details on its own: that happens only through an introduction the student accepts.

Acceptable use

Don't use the platform to mislead or harass anyone, to collect data in bulk or by automated means, to get around its access rules, to upload anything you don't have the right to share, or for anything unlawful. We may remove content and suspend accounts that do.

Liability

We provide the platform with reasonable care, but as a matching service, "as is". To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for decisions or agreements between students and partners, or for indirect losses. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under Philippine consumer or data privacy law.

Ending your account

You can close your account at any time from your dashboard. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, and we will tell you why.

Changes and governing law

When we change these terms we update the date above, and for significant changes we tell account holders by email or in their dashboard before they apply. These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines.
