Terms of Service

Scholee is an AI scholarship-discovery platform. We collect academic and profile information you provide (such as your education level, field of study, target countries, and grades) and use it to match you against a directory of external scholarship opportunities offered by third-party providers (for example Chevening, Fulbright, Erasmus+, DAAD, Australia Awards, and others).

Scholee is intended for students worldwide. To use Scholee you must be able to form a binding agreement under the laws applicable to you, or — if you are a minor — use the service with the consent and supervision described below.

• By using Scholee as a minor, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms and our Privacy Policy on your behalf.
• A parent or guardian may, at any time, request access to, correction of, or deletion of a minor’s account and information by contacting us at support@scholee.com.
• We practise data minimisation for users under 18 and never collect income, household-financial, or payment information from students (see our Privacy Policy).

• You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for keeping your login credentials confidential.
• You agree to provide truthful academic information. Inaccurate grades or profile details will produce inaccurate matches.
• You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorised use.
• You may delete your account at any time, which will remove your associated personal data as described in our Privacy Policy.

When using Scholee, you agree not to:

• Use the service for any unlawful, fraudulent, or misleading purpose.
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your eligibility, credentials, or identity.
• Fabricate qualifications, grades, awards, or other credentials — in your profile or in any AI-assisted essay or document.
• Scrape, copy, resell, or redistribute the scholarship directory, AI output, or any matching results.
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorised access to the service or its underlying systems.
• Use bots, scripts, or other automated means to access AI features, or attempt to circumvent, evade, or defeat usage limits or abuse protections.
• Upload malicious code or content that infringes the rights of others.

AI fair-use limits. Scholee’s AI features — the AI advisor and the AI essay assistant — are powered by third-party models that cost money to run. To keep them fast, reliable, and fairly available to everyone, they are subject to fair-use daily limits and automated abuse protection.

• Current limits are approximately 50 AI advisor messages per day and a capped number of AI essay generations per day. These figures are set well above normal use, are indicative only, and may change at any time.
• We may set, change, throttle, rate-limit, or temporarily suspend access to AI features — with or without notice — to prevent abuse, protect the service, or manage excessive or unexpected cost. These are anti-abuse safeguards, not a metered or pay-per-use tier.
• The AI essay assistant must be used honestly: drafts should be built from your own genuine answers and experiences, and you must review and rewrite the output in your own words. Do not use it to fabricate credentials or generate dishonest content.

• The AI advisor and essay assistant help you understand options and draft in your own voice. Always check important facts — deadlines, eligibility, award amounts, and requirements — against the official scholarship source before relying on them.
• Scholee is a discovery and preparation tool — not a scholarship provider, agent, broker, immigration adviser, or guarantor. Using Scholee does not create any advisory or representative relationship.
• We make no guarantee of any outcome — including scholarship award, eligibility, shortlisting, university admission, or visa approval. All such decisions are made solely by the relevant scholarship providers, institutions, and authorities.

Scholee offers an optional Premium subscription with the “premium” entitlement. Pricing and billing terms are:

• Monthly plan — US$19.99 / month, and Annual plan — US$119.99 / year (about US$10.00 / month). Both plans include a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. Local prices are set by the App Store / Google Play in your regional currency.
• Subscriptions are sold and billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (processed by our subscription provider, RevenueCat). Payment is charged to your App Store or Google Play account upon confirmation of purchase or at the end of any free trial.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew for the same period and at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
• Free trial. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the trial automatically converts to a paid subscription and you will be charged. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited if you purchase a subscription during the trial.
• Manage or cancel. You can manage, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Deleting the app does not, by itself, cancel your subscription.
• Fair use. To protect the service and keep it reliable and fairly available to all users, reasonable fair-use limits apply to AI-powered features (for example, a high daily cap on AI advisor messages and AI essay generations). These limits are anti-abuse safeguards only — they are not a metered or feature-restricted tier, are set generously above normal use, and we may adjust them from time to time as needed to keep the service reliable and prevent abuse.

Scholee, including its software, design, “Academic Trust” branding, wordmark, matching logic, and compiled scholarship directory, is owned by Scholee and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the service for your personal, non-commercial scholarship discovery. You retain ownership of the information you submit, and grant us a licence to process it to operate the service as described in our Privacy Policy.

The service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any match will lead to an award.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Scholee and its affiliates, officers, and partners (including Supabase, RevenueCat, Google, and Apple) will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of opportunity, scholarship, or data, arising out of or relating to your use of the service. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the subscription in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) US$100.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Your continued use of Scholee after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Malaysia, and you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Malaysia for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service. As Scholee serves students worldwide, the governing law and jurisdiction stated here are subject to final legal review and may be updated before launch.
