Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of SlammedU websites, apps, dashboards, campus pages, social posting services, payment flows, and related services ("SlammedU" or the "Service").

By accessing or using SlammedU, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use SlammedU.

2. Unofficial Platform; No University Affiliation

SlammedU is an unofficial student and campus social discovery platform. SlammedU is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, approved by, or officially connected to any university, college, school, admissions office, housing office, student organization, or campus unless we expressly state otherwise in writing.

Campus names, class years, school references, logos, social handles, or other school-related references are used only to identify communities or user-selected posting destinations.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 17 years old to use SlammedU. Users under 17 may not use SlammedU. We do not knowingly allow children under 13 to use the Service or knowingly collect personal information from them.

If you are under 18, you may use SlammedU only if permitted by applicable law and with parent or guardian awareness and consent where required. By using SlammedU, you represent that you meet these requirements.

We may refuse, suspend, or terminate access if we believe a user does not meet our eligibility requirements or is using the Service unsafely or deceptively.

4. No Student or Identity Verification

SlammedU does not currently verify every user's identity, age, enrollment status, student status, admission status, or university affiliation. You are responsible for submitting truthful and accurate information.

You may not impersonate another person, misrepresent your school, pretend to be affiliated with a university, or submit false information to gain access, publish content, or contact others.

You may not use school names, logos, mascots, trademarks, or official-looking materials in a way that falsely suggests university approval, sponsorship, or affiliation.

5. Accounts and Security

You may need an account to use some features. You are responsible for maintaining access to your login methods, keeping your account secure, and promptly notifying us of unauthorized use.

You may not share access, sell accounts, use another person's account, or bypass authentication or verification systems.

6. User Content

"User Content" means photos, captions, bios, social handles, interests, school selections, class year, messages, profile information, reports, comments, and other material you submit, upload, post, or provide to SlammedU.

You represent and warrant that:

• you own or have permission to submit your User Content;
• your User Content is truthful and not misleading;
• your User Content does not violate another person's privacy, publicity, intellectual property, or other rights;
• every person appearing in submitted photos has given appropriate permission;
• your User Content does not violate these Terms or applicable law.

You remain responsible for your User Content.

7. License to Operate and Promote SlammedU

You grant SlammedU a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, crop, resize, format, display, publish, distribute, transmit, create excerpts from, and otherwise use your User Content to operate, provide, promote, advertise, and improve SlammedU.

This license includes permission to:

• publish submitted content to selected campus pages, Instagram accounts, or other social channels;
• display your content in SlammedU feeds, dashboards, campus pages, examples, previews, and post status flows;
• use your name, username, image, likeness, public profile, submitted content, and screenshots of published posts in SlammedU marketing, advertising, investor materials, social posts, demos, and promotional materials.

You may request removal from future marketing use by contacting us. We will make reasonable efforts to honor future-use requests, but we may not be able to remove materials already published, printed, distributed, cached, archived, included in campaigns, or controlled by third parties.

For users under 18, SlammedU may limit or remove marketing uses upon request from the user or a parent or guardian where reasonably possible.

For users we know are under 18, SlammedU will not knowingly use identifiable photos, names, usernames, videos, testimonials, or likenesses in paid advertising, investor fundraising materials, major website promotion, or similar promotional campaigns. Normal operation of the Service may still involve publishing submitted content to the campus page, public post, or social channel you selected.

8. Public Posting and Third-Party Platforms

If you submit content for posting, you understand that your content may become public. Public content may be seen, saved, screenshotted, copied, shared, reposted, cached, indexed, or archived by others.

SlammedU can remove or restrict content from systems we control, but we cannot guarantee removal from Instagram, Meta, search engines, screenshots, reposts, cached pages, archives, or other third-party services.

Your use of Instagram, Google, Stripe, Snapchat, TikTok, Discord, and other third-party services is also governed by those services' own terms and privacy policies.

9. Review, Approval, Rejection, and Publishing

Submitting content does not guarantee approval or publication. SlammedU or authorized page operators may review, approve, reject, edit formatting, crop media, delay, prioritize, remove, or decline to publish content for any reason, including quality, safety, school relevance, suspected abuse, payment issues, platform limitations, or Terms violations.

We do not guarantee publication time, reach, engagement, follower growth, matching results, roommate outcomes, friendship outcomes, or continued availability of any campus page or social account.

10. Prohibited Conduct

You may not:

• harass, threaten, bully, stalk, exploit, or intimidate others;
• submit sexual content involving minors or attempt inappropriate contact with minors;
• impersonate another person or falsely claim school, organization, or university affiliation;
• submit another person's photos, name, likeness, contact information, or social handles without permission;
• disclose private information, dox others, or encourage unsafe contact;
• submit hateful, discriminatory, defamatory, abusive, violent, sexually explicit, exploitative, or illegal content;
• submit spam, advertising, solicitation, scams, or promotional posts without permission;
• troll, disrupt, manipulate queues, evade bans, or abuse support/reporting systems;
• scrape, crawl, harvest, automate access, reverse engineer, or use bots without written permission;
• interfere with security, authentication, payments, storage, infrastructure, or integrations;
• violate Instagram, Meta, Stripe, Twilio, Google, or other third-party platform rules;
• use SlammedU for unlawful, deceptive, harmful, or unsafe purposes.

11. Reporting and Takedowns

You may report abuse, impersonation, harassment, non-consensual content, intellectual property concerns, privacy issues, or urgent takedown requests by contacting us at slammeduniversity@gmail.com.

We may remove content, suspend accounts, restrict features, preserve evidence, notify affected users, contact payment providers, contact third-party platforms, or cooperate with law enforcement where appropriate.

Registered California users under 18 may request removal of content they posted by contacting us with enough information to identify the account, post, campus page, or URL. We can remove eligible content from systems we control, but we cannot guarantee removal from Instagram, Meta, screenshots, reposts, caches, archives, search engines, or third-party services.

12. Payments, Subscriptions, and Refunds

Paid features may include one-time posts, expedited or priority posting, subscriptions, premium access, or other products. Prices, features, and availability may vary by campus page, account, promotion, or time.

Payments are processed by Stripe or other payment providers. By purchasing, you authorize applicable charges, taxes, subscription renewals, and fees.

Where required by law, advertised prices and checkout prices will include mandatory fees other than taxes, shipping, or government charges that may be excluded by law. Any automatic renewal terms, renewal period, renewal price, cancellation method, trial terms, promotional terms, and material billing limits should be reviewed before purchase.

Cancellation and refund terms are described in our Cancellation and Refund Policy, which is part of these Terms.

13. Matching, Discovery, Recommendations, and Future Features

SlammedU may offer discovery, matching, recommendation, messaging, moderation, or community features. These features may use information such as profiles, interests, class year, school selection, activity, submitted content, and preferences.

We do not guarantee compatibility, safety, identity, enrollment, housing outcomes, roommate outcomes, friendship outcomes, or accuracy of recommendations. Users are responsible for evaluating interactions and using reasonable caution.

SlammedU does not conduct background checks and does not verify that users are safe, enrolled students, admitted students, or compatible roommates. If you meet someone through SlammedU, use caution, meet in public when appropriate, tell someone you trust, and report unsafe behavior. In an emergency, contact local emergency services.

Automated recommendations, matching features, scores, rankings, filters, or suggested connections may be incomplete, inaccurate, biased, experimental, or unavailable.

Before launching materially new matching, recommendation, messaging, feed, or minor-facing discovery features, SlammedU may apply additional safety, privacy, reporting, blocking, visibility, age-related, or consent controls.

14. Intellectual Property

SlammedU owns or licenses the Service, including software, designs, branding, logos, text, graphics, interfaces, and other materials, excluding User Content. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or exploit SlammedU materials without written permission.

15. DMCA and Rights Complaints

If you believe content on SlammedU infringes your copyright or other rights, contact us with:

• your name and contact information;
• identification of the work or rights at issue;
• the URL or location of the allegedly infringing content;
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized;
• a statement that the information is accurate;
• your physical or electronic signature.

Send notices to slammeduniversity@gmail.com. We may remove content and may provide counter-notice instructions where applicable.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore removed content unless the complaining party seeks a court order. We may terminate or restrict accounts that repeatedly infringe or repeatedly submit rights-violating content.

16. Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts, posts, subscriptions, campus access, or features at any time if we believe you violated these Terms, created risk, misused SlammedU, caused payment issues, or harmed users, SlammedU, or third parties.

We may allow appeals, edits, or resubmissions at our discretion, but we are not required to do so.

You may stop using SlammedU at any time. Cancellation of a subscription does not automatically remove public posts or content already published to third-party platforms.

17. Disclaimers

SlammedU is provided "as is" and "as available." We disclaim warranties to the fullest extent permitted by law, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, availability, accuracy, security, and uninterrupted operation.

We do not guarantee that users are who they claim to be, that users are enrolled at any school, that posts will be published, that content will remain available, or that third-party platforms will operate without interruption.

18. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SlammedU and its owners, employees, contractors, service providers, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, reputational harm, third-party platform actions, user conduct, or inability to remove third-party copies.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim related to SlammedU will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid to SlammedU in the three months before the claim or $100.

19. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SlammedU from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses arising from your User Content, your use of SlammedU, your violation of these Terms, your violation of law, or your violation of another person's rights.

20. Dispute Resolution

Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If unresolved, disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court where permitted. Either party may also seek injunctive or equitable relief for intellectual property, security, privacy, safety, or unauthorized access issues. You and SlammedU waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in class, collective, consolidated, or representative actions to the fullest extent permitted by law.

21. General Terms

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cancellation and Refund Policy, SMS Terms, Community Guidelines, and any additional terms presented for a feature or purchase, make up the agreement between you and SlammedU.

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining parts will remain in effect. You may not assign these Terms without our written permission. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, asset sale, or similar transaction.

22. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms will be posted with a new effective date. Continued use of SlammedU after an update means you accept the updated Terms.
