2. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service.
3. We may update these Terms from time to time (Section 18). Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

1. You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. If you are between 13 and 18 years of age, you may only use the Service with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and accepts responsibility for your use. The Service is not intended for, and must not be used by, children under the age of 13.
2. By using the Service you represent that you meet the eligibility requirements above and that the information you provide during registration is true, accurate, and complete.
3. The Service is provided for personal use by individual applicants and, where applicable, for organizational use under Section 9 (Organizations).

1. Registration. You may register using an email address and password, or by signing in with Google. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials.
2. Email verification. Accounts are created with email verification enabled. We send a one-time passcode (OTP) to your email address; you must verify your email to use certain features.
3. Account accuracy. You agree to keep your account information (name, email, phone, academic profile) accurate and up to date.
4. One account per person. You may not create multiple accounts to circumvent plan limits, trial limits, referrals, or enforcement actions.
5. Security obligations. You agree to (a) not share your password or session token with any third party, (b) notify us promptly at support@useaplyr.com of any unauthorized use of your account, and (c) ensure you sign out of shared devices. We may force a logout of your sessions at any time for security purposes, and we log IP addresses and user-agent information associated with sessions.
6. No transfer. Accounts, subscriptions, and referral codes are non-transferable unless expressly permitted in writing.

1. Your account may be placed in one of the following statuses: Active, Suspended, Banned, or Deletion Requested.
2. Suspension or Ban. We may suspend or ban your account if we reasonably determine that you have violated these Terms, our community rules (Section 10), or applicable law; if you engage in abuse, fraud, or harmful conduct; or if required by law. Suspended or banned accounts may be denied access to the Service, and we may also block access from abusive IP addresses. We will notify you by email where practicable, and banned users may be sent a reason for the action.
3. Deletion Requests. If you request account deletion (Section 5), your account status becomes Deletion Requested, you are immediately signed out of all sessions, and further login is blocked while your request is processed.
4. Effect of termination. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases. Sections that by their nature survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will survive.

1. You may request deletion of your account at any time from Settings → Security, by typing the confirmation phrase "Delete account". Upon request: (a) your sessions are immediately revoked, and (b) your account is queued for deletion. Upon request, your account is immediately suspended (all sessions revoked, login blocked), and your data is permanently and irreversibly deleted within 30 days.
2. When an account is deleted, we will permanently delete the account record and, to the extent technically feasible, the data associated with it (schools, requirements, documents, chat history, pairing records, notifications, device tokens, activity logs, and similar records), except where we are required by law or where deletion is impossible because the data has been made public by you (for example, community posts and comments you authored, which are visible to other users — see Section 11).
3. Files you uploaded (documents, images) are stored with a third-party file-storage provider and are deleted when you delete them from the Service or when your account is deleted, subject to provider retention and backups.
4. You can export your school tracker data as an Excel file at any time from the Excel export feature. For other data, contact support@useaplyr.com to make a data access request under our Privacy Policy.

1. Free tier and trial. The Service offers a free tier. New users receive a 14-day free trial of paid features starting when they complete onboarding. At the end of the trial, access continues under the free tier unless you purchase a paid plan. At the end of the trial, access to paid features expires and your account continues under the free tier. There is no automatic charge.
2. Paid plans. Paid plans include Pro, Premium, and Yearly, billed monthly or yearly, and Enterprise plans offered to organizations. Features, limits, and prices are displayed on our Pricing page and may change from time to time (Section 6.8). Prices may be quoted and charged in NGN (Nigerian Naira) or USD (US Dollars) depending on your location and currency preference.
3. Payment processing. Payments are processed by Paystack (and any successor payment processor we may use). We do not collect, store, or process your card details; they are handled directly by the payment processor under its own terms and privacy policy. By purchasing a plan you agree to the payment processor's terms.
4. Auto-renewal. Unless you cancel, paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period. You authorize us and our payment processor to charge your payment method for each renewal.
5. Cancellation. You may cancel auto-renewal at any time from Settings → Billing, or via the billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you will retain access until then ("access until" date).
6. Failed payments. If a payment fails or is past due, we may send you payment-failure notices and may downgrade or suspend access to paid features until payment is successfully processed. If your card is expiring, we will notify you.
7. Refunds. You may request a refund within 30 days of purchase by contacting support@useaplyr.com. Refunds are granted at our reasonable discretion, in accordance with applicable law. After 30 days, all payments are non-refundable.
8. Price changes. We may change plan pricing. Where required, we will provide at least 30 days' notice before a price change affects your next billing cycle. Continued use after the effective date of the price change constitutes acceptance.
9. Taxes. Prices may be exclusive of applicable taxes, which will be added at checkout where required by law.
10. Promo and referral codes. Promo codes and referral codes grant access to paid features for a defined duration as stated when the code is used. Codes may have redemption limits and expiry dates, may not be combined except as allowed, and may be revoked if obtained or used abusively.
11. Free-trial abuse and overrides. We may suspend or terminate accounts that we determine in our reasonable discretion are abusing trials, referrals, or credits (including AI usage credits).

2. AI features. The Service uses artificial intelligence ("AI") features, including an AI coach chat, AI-generated requirements, AI school matching ("pairing"), AI professor matching, AI gap analysis of documents, AI extraction of program information from web pages, and AI-assisted community moderation.

3. No guarantees; informational only. AI output is provided for informational and planning purposes only. AI-generated content (including match scores, gap-analysis feedback, requirements, extracted deadlines and fees, and professor recommendations) may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. We do not guarantee the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of AI output, and AI output does not constitute professional, legal, financial, academic, or admissions advice.
4. Your responsibility to verify. You are solely responsible for verifying all deadlines, fees, requirements, and other application details directly with the relevant institutions, and for the accuracy of the information you submit in any application. Do not rely on AI output as a substitute for official sources.
5. No acceptance guarantee. We do not guarantee or warrant that you will be admitted to any school, match with any professor, receive funding, or achieve any particular outcome from using the Service.
6. Human review. Where the law requires (including rights under applicable data-protection law), you may request human review of automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. Contact support@useaplyr.com for such requests. See our Privacy Policy.
7. Your content input to AI. You are responsible for the documents and text you provide to AI features. Do not provide content you do not have the right to use. Content you provide to AI features is processed as described in our Privacy Policy (including transmission to third-party AI providers) and may be stored as described there.

1. Ownership. You retain all rights in content you create and upload to the Service ("Your Content"), including your tracker data, documents, AI chat inputs, and community posts and comments.

This license does not give us ownership of Your Content.
3. Feedback. If you provide suggestions or feedback about the Service, you grant us an unrestricted right to use it without compensation.

1. Organizations may purchase plans and invite members to join via invite codes or direct addition. An organization's plan applies to its members for the purposes of feature access.
2. Invite codes have an expiry date and a maximum number of uses. By accepting an organization invite, you agree to be bound by these Terms and any additional terms your organization imposes. Your organization's administrator may be able to manage your seat.
3. Admin role invitations. Persons invited to administer the platform ("Admins") accept such roles by the invitation flow and are subject to these Terms and our internal access-control policies. Admin access to personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy and role-based access controls.

Community content rules. Community posts and comments must be relevant, truthful, and respectful. Content may be flagged by users or automatically by our AI moderation systems (e.g., for spam, harassment, or misinformation). Moderators may remove, hide, or shadow-hide content, and may ban users, with or without prior notice.

Enforcement. We may, in our sole discretion and without prior notice: remove or hide content; suspend, ban, or delete accounts; or block IP addresses. If you believe an enforcement action was in error, contact support@useaplyr.com.

1. Public by design. Posts, comments, votes, and (where enabled) attachments and images you publish in the community are publicly visible to other users. Your community identity is your community handle and generated avatar, which you can change subject to a 30-day cooldown and availability rules.
2. Best answers and moderation metadata. Marks such as "best answer", edits, and moderation outcomes (e.g., removal notices) may be visible publicly.
3. Deletion of public content. If you delete a post or comment, we remove it from public view but the underlying record may be retained in our systems for moderation, safety, and legal purposes, and content quoted or copied by others may remain. Attachments published publicly may remain accessible through third-party content delivery networks even after deletion.
4. No expectation of confidentiality for community content. Do not post personal information, application essays you intend to submit, or confidential information in the community.

2. Your use of these third-party services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services.
3. Google Calendar. You may choose to connect your Google Calendar. This requires granting our Service permission to access your calendar (OAuth). We will create, update, or delete deadline events in your calendar at your direction and store connection tokens to enable synchronization. You can disconnect at any time from Settings → Integrations, which removes the connection and synced events. The Google services you use are governed by Google's terms and privacy policy.

1.
