1. Who we are

GradNode is a website that helps students compare UK university courses, check whether they meet entry requirements, and plan costs, applications and visas. In these Terms, "we" and "us" means GradNode, and "you" means the person using the site.

Questions about these Terms: info@gradnode.com.

2. Agreeing to these Terms

By creating an account or using GradNode, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy notice. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

You must be 18 or over to create an account. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must agree to these Terms for you and help you use the site.

3. Your account

• Give us accurate details and keep your password private. You are responsible for what happens in your account.
• Tell us straight away at info@gradnode.com if you think someone else has used your account.
• One account per person. Don't create accounts for other people without their permission.
• You can delete your account at any time from Account settings.

4. What GradNode is, and what it isn't

GradNode gives general information to help you plan. It is not a guarantee of admission, a scholarship, a loan or a visa.

A course match (Safe, Target, Ambitious) prepared by your adviser is a preliminary comparison of your answers with published requirements. It does not yet compare academic grades, which each university checks in its own way, and it is never an admission decision or a percentage chance.

• Course details, fees, entry requirements, visa rules and costs come from universities, GOV.UK and other public sources. They change, and we may not have the latest version. We show the source and the date we last checked wherever we can.
• Always confirm important facts with the university, the lender or GOV.UK before you apply, pay or make a decision.
• Your profile check answers are saved to your account as you go. The profile check compares your answers with published requirements. Universities make their own decisions and may ask for more than what is published.
• Nothing on GradNode is legal, immigration or financial advice.

5. Documents you upload

• Only upload documents that belong to you, or that you have permission to store.
• Don't upload anything illegal, harmful or containing viruses.
• Before we help with an application, we check your documents with the help of AI: that the details match each other and your answers, and that nothing is missing or out of date. This is not proof that a document is genuine. Universities and visa officers make their own checks, and submitting false or altered documents can lead to refusal and bans. We won't submit documents that we have reason to believe are false.
• "Verified" on a shortlisted course means our team has checked that your documents and answers fit what the course page asks for. It is not an offer and does not guarantee admission: the university decides.
• Your documents are private to your account and our team. Keep your own copies too: we take care to keep them safe, but we can't promise they will never be lost.

6. The Feed

• The Feed is for signed-in students to share questions and experiences. What you post is seen by other students with your first name and last initial.
• Only post what is true and yours to share. Don't post other people's personal details, documents, offer letters with their details, contact numbers, links to paid services, ads, abuse, hate or anything unlawful.
• Admit / Reject posts are what a student says happened to them. GradNode doesn't check them, and they don't mean a university will decide the same for you.
• Posts are students' own views, not GradNode's advice. We may hide or remove any post, and close accounts that break these rules. A post reported by 3 students is hidden until we look at it.
• You keep ownership of what you write. You allow GradNode to show it on the site while it is there. You can delete it at any time.

7. Find courses details

• To see results on Find courses without an account, you give your real name, a mobile number and an email address that are yours, and confirm them with the one-time codes we send.
• By ticking the box you agree that GradNode may contact you about your course search by email, phone or WhatsApp. Every such email has a link to stop them, and you can ask us to stop at any time at info@gradnode.com.
• Don't use someone else's number or email, and don't request codes again and again; sending is limited.

8. The GradNode Assistant

• The Assistant is an AI, not a person, and it can make mistakes. It is not legal, visa, financial or admissions advice.
• Always check fees, start dates and requirements on the university's own page, and visa rules on GOV.UK, before you apply or pay.
• Use is limited each day and may be switched off at any time.

9. AI consultant calls

• If you tick the box when you book a call, an AI assistant from GradNode may phone you between 10am and 8pm India time. It says it is an AI at the start.
• Like the Assistant, it can make mistakes and is not legal, visa, financial or admissions advice. Ask for a person at any time and it will put you through to a counsellor, or arrange a callback when nobody is free.
• Calls are not recorded. A short summary is kept for our counsellors (see the Privacy notice).

10. Price

GradNode is free to use today. If we add a paid service, we will show its price and terms before you pay, and nothing is charged without your agreement.

11. Using the site fairly

Don't misuse GradNode. For example, don't try to get into other people's accounts, break or overload the site, copy large parts of it automatically, or use it for anything unlawful. We may suspend or close accounts that do.

12. Our content

The site's design, text and tools belong to GradNode or the people who licensed them to us. Some course data comes from HESA Discover Uni under the CC BY 4.0 licence. You may use GradNode for your own study planning.

13. Links to other sites

GradNode links to university, GOV.UK and other websites. We don't control them and are not responsible for what they contain.

14. Liability

We work hard to keep GradNode accurate and available, but we provide it "as is". As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for losses caused by relying on information without checking it with the official source, or by the site being unavailable. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have by law that can't be limited.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms. If the changes are important, we will ask you to agree again when you next log in. The date at the top shows the latest version.

16. Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of Hyderabad, Telangana have jurisdiction.
