Terms of Use

Thank you for using The Zource! These Terms of Use apply to your use of The Zource and any related services, features, and applications provided by The Zource Corp. (collectively, "Services"). These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and The Zource Corp., a company incorporated in the United States. By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal information. Although it does not form part of these Terms, it is an important document that you should read.

1. Who We Are

2. Registration and Access

You must be at least 13 years old to use our Services. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent's or legal guardian's permission to use the Services. By creating an account, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep that information up to date.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately at [email protected] if you believe your account has been compromised.

Subject to these Terms, you may access and use the Services for your personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to use the Services in any way that:

  • Violates any applicable law or regulation
  • Infringes the rights of any third party, including intellectual property rights
  • Attempts to gain unauthorized access to our systems or other users' accounts
  • Transmits harmful, offensive, or misleading content
  • Interferes with or disrupts the integrity or performance of the Services
  • Uses automated means (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access or collect data from the Services without our express written permission

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated these Terms.

4. Your Content

When you submit messages, prompts, or other content to The Zource ("Input"), you retain ownership of that content. The AI-generated responses and recommendations produced by the Services ("Output") are provided to you for your personal use.

You grant The Zource Corp. a limited, non-exclusive license to use your Input to provide, maintain, and improve the Services. We may use aggregated and anonymized data derived from your interactions to improve our AI models and service quality.

You are responsible for ensuring that any content you submit does not violate any third-party rights or applicable laws.

5. AI-Generated Content and Accuracy

The Zource uses artificial intelligence to generate college recommendations, information, and guidance. By using our Services, you understand and agree that:

  • AI-generated Output may not always be accurate, complete, or up to date. You should not rely solely on our Output when making important educational or financial decisions.
  • You should verify any institution-specific information (tuition, deadlines, admission requirements) directly with the institution before acting on it.
  • Output does not constitute professional academic, financial, or legal advice.
  • The Zource does not endorse or guarantee admission to any institution mentioned in our recommendations.

We are continuously working to improve the accuracy and reliability of our Services.

6. Intellectual Property

The Zource Corp. owns all rights, title, and interest in and to the Services, including all software, designs, trademarks, logos, and content created by us (excluding your Input). You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our Services or included software, nor may you reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of that software, unless applicable laws prohibit these restrictions or you have our written permission.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or services, including college and university websites. These links are provided for your convenience only.
