Terms and Conditions

Last updated: July 16, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Tasseled PBC ("Tasseled," "we," "us," or "our"), a Delaware public benefit corporation with its principal place of business in Florida, United States. They govern your use of our websites and applications, and the tools and features available through them (together, the "Services").

By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

Services we provide to institutions under separate agreements — such as work performed for colleges, universities, states, or school systems under negotiated contracts — are governed by those agreements. If those agreements conflict with these Terms for that engagement, the agreements control.

1. Who may use the Services

You must be at least 13 years old. We do not permit children under 13 to create accounts or use the Services.
If you are between 13 and 17, you may use the Services only if your parent or legal guardian, or a school authorized to act for them, permits it — and by using the Services you represent that you have that permission. A parent or guardian may contact us at any time about a minor's account, including to request its deletion.
If you use the Services on behalf of an organization (for example, as an advisor, counselor, or school employee), you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" includes it.

2. Your account

Keep your account information accurate and current.
You are responsible for your login credentials and for activity under your account. Do not share your password. Tell us promptly at privacy@tasseled.com if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.
Do not register using another person's identity, a name you have no right to use, or a name that is offensive or misleading.
You may stop using the Services at any time and may delete your account as described in our Privacy Policy.

3. What the Services are — and what they are not

Tasseled provides educational planning tools. Plans and other outputs generated through the Services are built from institutional information — such as course catalogs, degree requirements, transfer policies, and tuition and fee schedules — that we collect and maintain, combined with information you provide.

Please read this section carefully, because it describes the limits of what a plan can promise:

Plans are informational tools, not guarantees. A plan reflects institutional requirements, policies, and prices as documented at the time it is generated. Institutions control their own requirements, admissions, credit-transfer decisions, pricing, and financial aid — not Tasseled — and they can change any of these at any time.
We do not guarantee outcomes. That includes any particular cost, savings amount, credit transfer, admission, enrollment, financial aid award, graduation timeline, or degree outcome. Estimated costs and savings are estimates based on documented institutional pricing and may differ from what you actually pay.
Decisions about your education are yours. Before acting on a plan — enrolling, transferring, selecting courses, or making financial commitments — verify current requirements, transferability, pricing, and aid directly with the institutions involved.
The Services are not professional advice. Tasseled does not provide financial, legal, tax, or admissions-consulting advice, and nothing in the Services should be treated as such.

We work hard to keep institutional information current and accurate, and we update it continuously — but we cannot promise it is error-free or that an institution has not changed something we have not yet reflected.

4. Your content

The Services let you enter, upload, and share information — such as the academic details you provide and the plans you build and collaborate on ("Your Content").

You own Your Content. You grant us only the limited license we need to operate the Services: to host, store, process, display, and transmit Your Content in order to provide the Services to you and to those you choose to share it with, consistent with these Terms and our Privacy Policy. This license ends when Your Content is deleted from the Services, except for limited backup and legal-retention copies described in our Privacy Policy.
Sharing is under your control. When you share a plan with another account, that person can view and, where enabled, collaborate on it. You are responsible for choosing whom you share with.
You are responsible for Your Content, including having the right to provide it and its accuracy. Plans are only as good as the information you enter.
We do not use Your Content to advertise, market, or sell anything to you, and we do not sell it — as promised in our Privacy Policy.

5. Feedback

If you send us feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Services, you grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use them without restriction or compensation. Feedback is voluntary, and we may use it without obligation to you.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Break the law or infringe anyone's rights while using the Services;
Access or attempt to access another user's account or information without authorization;
Probe, scan, disrupt, overload, or interfere with the Services or their security, or attempt to bypass access controls;
Scrape, harvest, or bulk-extract data from the Services, or use automated means to access them except through interfaces we make available and permit;
Copy, resell, or redistribute the Services or the institutional data compilations we maintain, or use them to build a competing product or dataset;
Upload malicious code or content designed to disrupt or damage systems or data;
Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation;
Post or transmit content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, or that violates another person's privacy; or
Use the Services in any way that targets, exploits, or harms minors.

We may investigate violations and may remove content, or suspend or terminate accounts, involved in them.

7. Our intellectual property

The Services — including our software, design, text, graphics, and the original compilations of institutional data we create and maintain — are owned by Tasseled and its licensors and protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the rights expressly granted to you in these Terms (a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Services as intended), no rights are transferred to you. Our trademarks may not be used without our prior written consent. Underlying facts about institutions (such as a published tuition rate) belong to no one; what we protect is our compilation, presentation, and software.

8. Copyright complaints (DMCA)

We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to notices that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our copyright agent at dmca@tasseled.com including: (i) your physical or electronic signature; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work; (iii) identification and location of the allegedly infringing material on the Services; (iv) your address, telephone number, and email; (v) a statement of your good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner. Misrepresenting an infringement claim can make you liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. We may remove content that is the subject of a compliant notice and, consistent with the DMCA, will terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

9. Third-party links and services

The Services may link to websites and services we do not control, including the sites of colleges, universities, and government agencies. We are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices, and linking does not imply endorsement. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if we reasonably believe suspension is necessary to protect the Services or other users; where practical, we will tell you why. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 3, 4 (as to the wind-down of the license), 5, 7, 11, 12, 13, and 14 — survive it.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tasseled disclaims all warranties, express, implied, or statutory — including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement — and does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that information available through them (including institutional information) is accurate, complete, or current. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you; in that case, exclusions apply to the greatest extent the law allows.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law: (a) Tasseled will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or educational or financial outcomes arising from use of or inability to use the Services or from reliance on any plan or information available through them; and (b) Tasseled's total liability for all claims relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the Services in the twelve months before the claim arose or one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you; in that case, liability is limited to the greatest extent the law allows. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

13. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold Tasseled harmless from third-party claims arising out of your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Services. This section does not apply to users under 18.

14. Governing law and disputes

Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules — except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitration agreement below.

Talk to us first. Before starting arbitration or any court proceeding, you agree to email us at privacy@tasseled.com with a description of the dispute and give us 60 days to try to resolve it informally. Most concerns are resolved quickly this way.

Agreement to arbitrate. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and Tasseled agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. Those rules govern fees and procedures; hearings may be conducted remotely or in the county where you live.

Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property or to stop unauthorized access to, or extraction of data from, the Services.

Class-action and jury waiver. You and Tasseled each waive the right to a jury trial, and disputes may be brought only in an individual capacity — not as a plaintiff or member of a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. If a court finds this class waiver unenforceable as to a particular dispute, then the agreement to arbitrate does not apply to that dispute, which will proceed in court under the "Courts" paragraph below.

Coordinated filings. If twenty-five (25) or more arbitration demands raising similar claims are filed against Tasseled by the same or coordinated counsel, the parties agree that the demands will be administered in staged batches, with an initial set resolved first and the remainder tolled in the meantime, to promote efficient and consistent resolution.

Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement and class waiver — with no effect on any other part of these Terms — by emailing privacy@tasseled.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, your account email, and that you opt out of arbitration.

Courts. Any dispute not subject to arbitration (including if you validly opt out) will be brought in the state courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and both parties consent to their jurisdiction.

Changes to this section. Changes to this "Governing law and disputes" section do not apply to a dispute that accrued before the change took effect.

15. Legal compliance

You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo or designated as supporting terrorism, and that you are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

16. General terms

Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Tasseled about the Services and supersede prior agreements about them — except that separate written agreements with institutions govern institutional engagements as described above.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest remains in effect.
Waiver. Our not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
English text controls. If we make these Terms available in translation, the English version prevails in a dispute.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will give at least 30 days' notice before it takes effect — by email or a prominent notice in the Services — and update the "Last updated" date above. Continuing to use the Services after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms; if you do not, stop using the Services and, if you wish, delete your account.
