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.
• The opportunity does not require students to create, publish, or distribute sexually explicit, pornographic, degrading, or otherwise harmful content.
• The opportunity does not require students to engage in any unlawful activity, violate their school's code of conduct, misrepresent themselves, impersonate others, or participate in deceptive practices of any kind.
• The opportunity does not solicit, encourage, or facilitate payment to students outside of the Proxoso platform.
• Any products, substances, or items sent to or used by students in connection with the opportunity are legal, safe for their intended use, and accurately described.

By checking the confirmation box at the time of opportunity creation, you affirm all of the above. Proxoso reserves the right to remove any opportunity and suspend or permanently ban any Brand account that violates these representations, with or without prior notice.

Proxoso is committed to the safety and dignity of all students on the Platform. The following standards apply to all opportunities posted by Brands:

• No explicit or adult content. Brands may not require students to produce, share, or appear in sexually explicit, nude, suggestive, or adult content of any kind.
• No degrading or harmful tasks. Brands may not require students to perform tasks that are humiliating, dangerous, physically harmful, emotionally distressing, or that a reasonable person would find degrading.
• No unlawful activity. Brands may not require students to engage in any activity that violates federal, state, or local law, including but not limited to the promotion of controlled substances, illegal gambling, counterfeit goods, or fraudulent schemes.
• No deceptive practices. Brands may not instruct students to misrepresent products, make false claims, conceal paid partnership status, or engage in astroturfing or fake reviews.
• No coercive tactics. Brands may not use threats, manipulation, or undue pressure to influence students' participation, content, or public statements.
• No contact outside Proxoso. Brands may not solicit students' personal contact information (phone numbers, personal email, home address) or communicate with students outside of Proxoso's platform messaging for purposes related to the opportunity.

Students who encounter any opportunity or brand behavior that violates these standards are encouraged to use the "Report an issue" feature available on each opportunity page. Proxoso will investigate all reports and take appropriate action, which may include opportunity removal, account suspension, and referral to law enforcement where warranted.

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:

• Platform fee: 14% of the per-student payout, charged to the Brand at the time of funding.
• Student fee: 6% of the per-student payout, charged to the Brand if they elect to cover the student fee (the student then receives 100% of the stated payout). If not covered, 6% is deducted from the student's payout at release.
• Payment is processed via Stripe at the time of funding. Funds are held in escrow and transferred to the Student's connected Stripe account upon submission approval.
• If a Student does not submit within the specified deadline after acceptance, their slot is auto-released and no payment is disbursed for that slot. Unfilled slots are refunded to the Brand.

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 Program: Students who refer new students to the Platform earn lifetime referral commissions on completed paid opportunities in their referral network, structured as follows:

• Tier 1 (direct referrals): 3% of each completed payout, forever
• Tier 2: 1% of each completed payout earned by your direct referrals' referrals
• Tier 3: 1% of each completed payout earned one level further down

All referral commissions are funded from Proxoso's 14% platform fee and are not charged additionally to Brands or Students. Referral commissions accrue as a pending balance and are paid out in a single monthly batch transfer on the 1st of each calendar month to the referring Student's connected Stripe account. A minimum balance of $1.00 is required for payout; balances below this threshold roll to the following month.

Inactivity policy: Referral commissions are paused if a Student has not logged into their Proxoso account for 90 or more consecutive days. Paused commissions are retained by Proxoso and are not recoverable. Commissions resume when the Student logs back in; no retroactive payments are made for the inactive period. Proxoso will send an email warning at 60 days of inactivity. The referral chain is not broken by one tier's inactivity — commissions for active tiers above an inactive earner continue unaffected.

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 72-hour review window to approve or request changes. If a Brand does not respond within 72 hours of submission, the submission is automatically approved and payment is released. If rejected, the Student may revise and resubmit. Ongoing disputes may be escalated to Proxoso for resolution.

Surveys: Students complete the survey natively within the Platform and submit their responses. Brands may review and approve or reject submissions. 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 virtually or in Wyoming. 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.
• Solicit or accept payment from students, or request payment from brands, outside of Proxoso's payment infrastructure.
• 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.
• Post opportunities that require students to produce sexually explicit, pornographic, nude, or degrading content.
• Post opportunities that require students to engage in unlawful activity or violate their school's code of conduct.
• Coerce, pressure, or manipulate students into accepting opportunities or producing content beyond the stated scope.
• Solicit students' personal contact information or communicate with students outside of Proxoso's platform for opportunity-related purposes.
• 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. Proxoso cooperates with law enforcement and will disclose account information where legally required or where student safety is at risk.

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. Any pending referral commission balances will be paid out on the next scheduled monthly payout date.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, 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.
