Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of these Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website at internationalschools.org and any related services we provide (together, the "Service"). The Service is provided by ICPLeads, Inc. ("Company", "we", "us", "our"). By accessing the Service or submitting a family profile, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You may use the Service only if you are at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract under the laws of your jurisdiction. If you submit information about a child, you represent that you are the child's parent, legal guardian, or another adult with explicit authority to do so.

3. The Service

InternationalSchools.org provides international school guidance, including a curated shortlist of schools intended to fit the preferences and circumstances you describe in your family profile. The Service is provided free of charge to families. We are not a school, an agent of a school, an accreditation body, a relocation, immigration, financial, or legal advisor, and we do not provide professional advice. Information on the Service is for general guidance only.

4. Your obligations and prohibited conduct

Accuracy of information

You agree that all information you submit through the Service is true, accurate, current, and complete, and that you have authority to submit it. You will keep your contact information current and notify us promptly of any material changes affecting your enquiry.

Acceptable use

You agree to use the Service in accordance with our Acceptable Use Policy. Without limiting it, you will not:

• Submit false, misleading, automated, fraudulent, or duplicate enquiries.
• Submit information about another individual, including a child, without authority to do so.
• Scrape, copy, mirror, frame, or otherwise extract content or data from the Service.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code, algorithms, or trade secrets.
• Interfere with the Service's security, integrity, or availability.
• Use the Service to harass, defame, infringe rights, or violate any law.

5. School-introduction consent

Where you tick the school-introductions consent box on our form, you authorise us to share the personal information in your family profile with the schools on the shortlist we send you, so they may contact you directly about availability and admissions. Each shortlisted school becomes an independent controller of the data we share with it and is responsible for its own communications and privacy practices. You may withdraw your consent at any time by emailing privacy@internationalschools.org; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of disclosures made before we received your request, and you may need to contact the school directly to stop further outreach from it.

6. Intellectual property

The Service, including its text, design, graphics, logos, software, and selection and arrangement of content, is owned by the Company or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial purposes related to choosing a school for your family. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. School and curriculum names referenced on the Service are used descriptively and remain the property of their respective owners.

7. Third-party links and services

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, including school websites, that are not controlled by us. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of third parties, and inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement.

8. No guarantees of outcomes

We do not guarantee admission, scholarship, visa, relocation, academic, or other outcome from any school introduction. Admissions decisions, fees, scholarships, and availability are determined solely by the schools and other third parties involved.

9. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FREEDOM FROM ERRORS OR INTERRUPTIONS. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT INFORMATION ON THE SERVICE IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES; IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (US$100). NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW (INCLUDING FRAUD, FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, OR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE).

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your breach of these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy, (b) your submissions, including any inaccurate or unauthorised information, or (c) your violation of any law or third-party rights.

Sections 5 (consent), 6 (IP), 9–11 (disclaimers, liability, indemnity), 13 (arbitration), 14 (governing law), and 16 (miscellaneous) survive termination.

13. Binding individual arbitration; class-action waiver

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights.

Informal resolution first

Before filing any claim, you and the Company agree to first try in good faith to resolve any dispute informally for at least 60 days by sending a written notice describing the dispute and the relief sought to legal@internationalschools.org and to the postal address below.

Agreement to arbitrate

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that is not resolved informally will be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitrationadministered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration will be seated in Wilmington, Delaware, and the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

Class-action and jury-trial waiver

You and the Company agree that disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis and not on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis. You and the Company waive any right to a jury trial. If a court decides this class-action waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court, while all other claims remain in arbitration.

Small-claims carve-out

Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration.

30-day opt-out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending a signed written notice to legal@internationalschools.org within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, including your name, the email address used with the Service, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

14. Governing law and venue

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to the arbitration section above, the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction over any non-arbitrable dispute.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. We will indicate the effective date at the top of the page and, for material changes, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

16. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and Disclosure, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company.
• Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
• Notices. We may notify you by email or via the Service. You may notify us at legal@internationalschools.org or by post.
