Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Proxoso ("we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the Proxoso platform at proxoso.com (the "Platform").

By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

You must be at least 18 years of age to use Proxoso. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older.

Proxoso is a platform that connects brands ("Brands") with college students ("Students") for four types of opportunities:

• Paid Tasks — Students create and submit content (social posts, videos, photos) in exchange for payment upon brand approval.
• Surveys — Students complete brand surveys or provide product feedback in exchange for payment upon verified completion.
• Experiences — Students attend brand-hosted events, product tastings, or campus activations. Compensation, if any, is specified at time of posting.
• Offers — Brands distribute free products, discounts, or perks to matched students. No payment is made; students receive the offer itself.

Proxoso is not a party to any agreement between a Brand and a Student. We provide the technology and tools to facilitate these relationships but do not guarantee any particular outcome, deliverable, or result from any opportunity.

You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

Student accounts require a valid .edu email address or approval from Proxoso for beta access. Brand accounts require a valid business domain email address — accounts using consumer email providers (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, iCloud, Hotmail, etc.) are not permitted.

You may not create more than one account per individual or entity. You may not transfer your account to another party without our written consent.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or otherwise harm the Platform or its users.

Brands may post opportunities, browse and match with students, review submissions, and manage payouts through the Platform. By posting an opportunity, you represent that:

• You have the legal authority to enter into agreements on behalf of your brand or company.
• Your opportunity content, products, and any materials shared with students comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
• For paid tasks and surveys: you will approve and release payment to students upon approving their submission. Funds are processed via Stripe at the time of approval.
• You will review student submissions in good faith within the review window provided.
• You will not request work outside the scope described in the original opportunity.

Students may browse opportunities, accept tasks, submit deliverables, and receive payouts through the Platform. By using the Platform as a Student, you represent that:

• You are a current or recent college student and have provided a valid .edu email address or have been granted beta access by Proxoso.
• All information provided about yourself — including social media handles, follower counts, and Greek affiliation — is accurate and not materially misleading.
• You will complete accepted opportunities and submit deliverables within the timeframes specified.
• Any content created as part of a paid opportunity complies with applicable FTC guidelines, including clear and conspicuous disclosure that the content is a paid partnership.
• You are solely responsible for reporting and paying any applicable taxes on earnings received through the Platform.

Proxoso charges platform fees as follows:

Paid Tasks and Surveys:

• Brand fee: 10% of the per-student compensation, charged to the Brand at the time of payment release.
• Student fee: 5% of the per-student compensation, deducted from the Student's payout.
• Payment is processed via Stripe at the time the Brand approves a Student's submission. Funds are transferred to the Student's connected Stripe account.
• If a Student does not submit within the specified deadline after acceptance, their slot is auto-released and no payment is charged to the Brand for that slot.

Experiences:

• If an Experience includes compensation, the same escrow model applies as Paid Tasks.
• Non-compensated Experiences (attendance-only) are posted at no cost to the Brand beyond any applicable listing fee.
• Brands are responsible for managing attendance logistics. Proxoso facilitates the match and acceptance only.

Offers:

• Offers (free products, discounts, perks) involve no student payment. Brands are responsible for fulfilling the offer to accepted students.
• A listing fee may apply at Proxoso's discretion. Proxoso is not liable for Brand failure to fulfill an offer.

Referral bonuses: Students who refer new students to the Platform earn a 5% bonus on their referral's first three completed paid opportunity payouts. Bonuses are funded from Proxoso's platform fee, not charged additionally to Brands or Students.

Proxoso reserves the right to modify fee structures with 30 days' written notice to affected users.

All opportunity terms — compensation, deliverables, timelines, and requirements — are set by the Brand and displayed at the time a Student accepts the opportunity.

Paid Tasks: Students must submit proof of their completed deliverable (post link, screenshot, or file upload) through the Platform. Brands have a review window to approve or reject. If rejected, the Student may revise and resubmit once. A second rejection may be escalated to Proxoso for dispute resolution.

Surveys: Students complete the survey at the provided link and submit through the Platform. If a completion code is set, the Student must enter it correctly to submit. Brands may reject submissions that fail to meet quality expectations. The same revision and escalation process applies.

Experiences: Students accept the opportunity to confirm attendance. Post-event, the Brand marks attendance and confirms completion. If compensation is included, it is released upon confirmation. Students who fail to attend without prior notice may have their slot forfeited.

Offers: Students accept to claim the offer. The Brand is responsible for fulfillment (shipping product, honoring discount, etc.). Proxoso is not a party to the fulfillment and is not liable for Brand failure to deliver an offer.

Once a Brand approves a deliverable or confirms completion, the opportunity is considered complete and any applicable payment is released.

Platform Disputes: Either party may file a dispute through the Platform during an active opportunity. Disputes require a written explanation of the issue and may include supporting evidence.

Upon filing a dispute, the opportunity is paused. Proxoso Support will contact both parties within 72 hours. Each party has 72 hours to submit their response. Failure to respond constitutes a waiver, and Proxoso may resolve based on available information.

Proxoso's dispute resolution decisions are final and binding. Possible outcomes include: full payment release to the Student, full refund to the Brand, partial split, or cancellation.

Binding Arbitration: Any dispute not resolved through Proxoso's internal process shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, conducted in Delaware. Each party is responsible for their own legal fees unless the arbitrator determines otherwise.

Class Action Waiver: You waive any right to bring or participate in a class action, collective action, or representative proceeding against Proxoso.

Exception: Either party may seek emergency injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm.

You agree not to:

• Circumvent the Platform by completing opportunities agreed upon through Proxoso outside the Platform to avoid fees.
• Provide false or misleading information about your brand, identity, social media statistics, or Greek affiliation.
• Harass, threaten, or engage in abusive conduct toward other users.
• Use the Platform to promote illegal products, services, or activities.
• Attempt to manipulate, reverse engineer, or interfere with Platform systems.
• Create fake submissions, ratings, or verification data.
• Use the Platform if you have been previously banned or suspended.

Violating these prohibitions may result in immediate account suspension, forfeiture of escrowed funds, and potential legal action.

Content you post on the Platform (opportunity descriptions, profiles, messages, uploaded media) remains yours. By posting it, you grant Proxoso a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display and use it to operate the Platform.

Proxoso's trademarks, logos, and Platform design are our property. You may not use them without our written permission.

All content created through Proxoso opportunities must comply with Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, including clear and conspicuous disclosure that the content is a paid partnership. Students are solely responsible for ensuring their posts include appropriate disclosures. Proxoso is not liable for FTC violations by users.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Proxoso shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Platform, including but not limited to lost profits, lost data, or missed opportunities.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from use of the Platform shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees paid by you to Proxoso in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) $100.

The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. We make no guarantees about the quality, performance, or results of any opportunity or partnership.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Proxoso, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Platform, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights.

Either party may terminate the relationship at any time. You may request account deletion by contacting us at support@proxoso.com. We may suspend or terminate your account with or without notice for violation of these Terms.

Upon termination, any active opportunities in progress will be handled on a case-by-case basis through our support team. Escrowed funds will be released according to the status of each opportunity.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify users of material changes via email or prominent notice on the Platform at least 14 days before changes take effect. Continued use of the Platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
