Welcome to Crowd Student

This page explains our terms of use. When you use Crowd Student, you’re agreeing to all the rules below. Some of them need to be expressed in legal language, but we’ve done our best to offer you clear and simple explanations—hence the brief summaries in these blue boxes, which are not part of the official legal terms.

By using this website (the “Site”) and services (together with the Site, the “Services”) offered by Crowd Student, and its and their parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, representatives, consultants, employees, officers, and directors—collectively, “CrowdStudent,” “we,” or “us”), you’re agreeing to these legally binding rules (the “Terms”). You’re also agreeing to our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, and agreeing to follow any other rules on the Site, like our rules for starting projects.

We may change these terms from time to time. If we do, we’ll let you know about any material changes, either by notifying you on the Site or by sending you an email. Creators based in the European Union will be notified of material changes at least 15 days before they go into effect. New versions of the terms will never apply retroactively—we’ll tell you the exact date they go into effect. If you keep using Crowd Student after a change, that means you accept the new terms.

Crowd Student is for your personal, non-commercial use.

About Creating an Account

You must be 16 or over to sign up for a Crowd Student account. You’re responsible for your account and all the activity on it.

You can browse Crowd Student without registering for an account. But to use some of Crowd Student’s functions, you’ll need to register, provide a cell phone number and set a password. When you do that, the information you give us has to be accurate and complete. Don’t impersonate anyone else or choose names that are offensive or that violate anyone’s rights. If you don’t follow these rules, we may cancel your account, without notice.

You’re responsible for all the activity on your account, and for the overall safekeeping of your account. If you find out that someone’s used your account without your permission, you should report it to [email protected].

To sign up for an account, you need to be at least 16 years old, or old enough to form a binding contract where you live. If necessary, we may ask you for proof of age.

Things You Shouldn’t Do

This section is a list of things you probably already know you shouldn’t do — lie, break laws, abuse people, steal data, hack other people’s computers, and so on.

Millions of people use Crowd Student. We expect all of them to behave responsibly and help keep our platform safe and enjoyable. We ask that you:

• Don’t break the law. Don’t take any action that infringes or violates other people’s rights, violates the law, or breaches any contract or legal duty you have toward anyone.
• Don’t lie to people. Don’t post information you know is false, misleading, or inaccurate. Don’t do anything deceptive or fraudulent.
• Don’t offer prohibited items. Don’t offer any rewards that are illegal, violate any of CrowdStudent’s policies, rules, or guidelines, or violate any applicable law, statute, ordinance, or regulation.
• Don’t victimize anyone. Don’t do anything threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, tortious, obscene, profane, or invasive of another person’s privacy.
• Don’t spam. Don’t distribute unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or promotional material, or any junk mail, spam, or chain letters. Don’t run mail lists, listservs, or any kind of auto-responder or spam on or through the Site.
• Don’t harm anyone’s computer. Don’t distribute software viruses, or anything else (code, films, programs) designed to interfere with the proper function of any software, hardware, or equipment on the Site (whether it belongs to CrowdStudent or another party).
• Don’t abuse other users’ personal information. When you use CrowdStudent — and especially if you create a successful project — you may receive information about other users, including things like their names, email addresses, and postal addresses. This information is provided for the purpose of participating in a CrowdStudent project: don’t use it for other purposes, and don’t abuse it.
