Terms of Agreement

1. Key Definitions

"College2U," "Company," "We," "Us" refers to COLLEGE2U Private Limited, an educational intermediary operating under the Companies Act 2013, headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka.

"User," "Student," "You" refers to any natural or legal person accessing this platform to aggregate educational data or seek admission guidance, who is competent to enter into a binding contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872.

"Intermediary Status": The platform strictly acts as an intermediary under Section 2(1)(w) of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and as an Electronic Service Provider connecting students with respective educational institutions.

2. User Registration & Security

While browsing public institutional directories is accessible to all, the submission of inquiries or requests for callback requires accurate data submission. We reserve the right to suspend users providing deceptive or inaccurate contact information under our academic KYC protocols.

2.1 AI & Telemetry Disclosure

College2U utilizes advanced intent-tracking mechanisms (ARIA) to optimize the user journey and provide tailored counseling. By submitting a form, you explicitly authorize College2U to contact you via SMS, WhatsApp, Email, or Voice Call regarding your educational inquiry, overriding any NDNC (National Do Not Call) registry preferences.

3. Platform Accuracy & Disclaimers

College2U aggregates data regarding courses, fee structures, management quotas, and institutional accreditations (NMC, AICTE, UGC, DCI, PCI). While we employ stringent validation metrics to ensure accuracy, educational institutions reserve the right to alter their fee matrices and admission guidelines without prior notice.

Counseling Disclaimer: College2U provides strategic advisory services. Final admission decisions rest entirely with the respective university management or centralized counseling authorities (KEA, MCC, AACCC). College2U does not guarantee admission where the student fails to meet statutory academic requirements.

4. Acceptable Use & Anti-Scraping
