Non-Ddependency of the parties

This is a mercantile arrangement. Even when Educatly is considered to be a Promoter of the Educational Institution's interests, and therefore, with full respect of the guidelines given by the Educational Institution, the parties agree that neither these terms nor the actions carried out by the contracting parties will result in a dependence relationship. Educatly’s activities shall be carried out under its own criteria and investment, by means of its own organization and management, and Educatly is allowed to contract personnel or other resources it deems appropriate to perform its services. Unless there is an agreement between both parties for the Educational Institution to fund the marketing activities run by Educatly to have a bigger pool of students sourced into their programs.

Educatly’s Obligations

Educatly shall use its best efforts, consistent with good business practice, to:

- Post the educational programs and branding on Educatly’s platform
- Sending information newsletters
- Recruitment campaigns and communication on social networks
- Briefings in universities & attending educational shows
- Media branding
Once Educatly has a student interested in an Educational Institution course or program, Educatly will help and guide that student in all the steps of the admission process until definitive registration.
Educatly will take charge of the interview with the students to evaluate their suitability, verifying that the student meets the necessary academic qualifications and training for the selected educational program.
To manage all the administrative processing for the student to get the VISA (if required). For this purpose, Educatly will need to collect the student’s documentation and the Educational Institution’s official documentation that certifies that the student has a reservation to study in the country of the Educational Institution.

Information

The Educational Institution shall regularly provide Educatly with all information concerning the programs, tuition fees, admission requirements, and updates.
Educatly will submit to the Educational Institution the proposals in transaction and the Educational Institution will have 15 (fifteen) business days to approve the proposals. It is understood between the Parties that if, within such term, the Educational Institution does not give its express approval or disapproval, the proposals will be deemed disapproved.
Educatly accepts the Educational Institution’s right to reject any operation proposed by Educatly. Educatly agrees neither to subscribe nor to engage in any responsibility on behalf of or in representation of the Educational Institution without the Educational Institution’s prior written consent. Those agreements entered into in contravention of the aforesaid shall be considered null and void.

Confidentiality

Educatly shall keep confidential, during the validity of these terms and after its termination or cancellation for a term of two years, all the information and data which the competence of the Educational Institution or its affiliates could use to its benefit, and shall neither disclose nor permit them to be used in any way which could damage the interests of the Educational Institution. Likewise, Educatly agrees to return to the Educational Institution all such confidential information and existing copies upon request.

Law and Jurisdiction

Both parties, waiving expressly any jurisdiction which could correspond to them, agree to bring any question related to the application, interpretation, resolution, and cancellation of these terms to the local court of Educatly’s legal residence.

Severability of Provisions

In the event that any term, condition, or provision or any portion of any term, condition, or provision of these terms is held by a Court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, then such term, condition, or provision, or portion thereof, shall be deemed to be severed from these terms while all remaining terms, conditions, and provisions shall survive and remain in full force and effect.
