Terms of Service

Last updated: September 14, 2026

1. About the service

Student4Me is an online platform that allows users, including students, to create listings, communicate with other users and arrange transactions or other agreements with each other.

We provide the platform and related technical services. We are not a party to agreements made between users unless explicitly stated otherwise.

2. Eligibility

You must be legally capable of entering into agreements to use the services.

If you are under the applicable age of majority, you may only use the service where permitted by applicable law and with any required consent from your legal representative.

You are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide to us is accurate and up to date.

3. Accounts

Some features require an account.

You are responsible for:

  • providing accurate information;
  • keeping your account credentials secure;
  • not sharing your account with other people;
  • notifying us if you believe your account has been compromised.

You may not create an account for another person without their authorization or impersonate another person.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or are used for abuse, fraud or other unlawful activities.

4. Listings and user content

Users may create listings and upload content such as text and images.

You are solely responsible for the content you submit and for ensuring that your listings are accurate.

You must not:

  • upload illegal or fraudulent content;
  • offer goods or services that you are not legally permitted to offer;
  • infringe intellectual property, privacy or other rights of third parties;
  • provide misleading or materially false information;
  • upload malware or other malicious content;
  • use the platform for spam or unauthorized advertising;
  • manipulate the platform, ratings or other users;
  • use the platform for activities that violate applicable law.

You must have the necessary rights and permissions for images, text and other content that you upload.

5. Agreements between users

Users may communicate with each other and independently enter into agreements concerning goods, services or other transactions.

We are not a party to these agreements.

Users are responsible for:

  • deciding whether to enter into an agreement;
  • verifying the identity and claims of other users where appropriate;
  • agreeing on prices, delivery, collection and other terms;
  • complying with applicable laws;
  • fulfilling their obligations to the other party.

We do not guarantee that another user will complete an agreement, deliver an item, provide a service or make a payment.

6. Payments

We currently do not process or hold payments between users.

Any payment arrangements made between users are made independently of the platform.

We are not responsible for losses resulting from payments or payment arrangements between users.

7. Orders

The platform may provide functionality that allows users to create or record orders.

An order created through the platform does not necessarily constitute a contract by itself. Whether and when a legally binding agreement exists depends on the actions of the users and applicable law.

We do not guarantee the performance of an order or transaction unless explicitly stated otherwise.

8. Student information

The platform may allow users to provide a student email address or other information relating to student status.

Providing such information does not automatically guarantee or establish student status unless the platform explicitly provides a verification process.

You must not provide another person's student email address or other personal information without appropriate authorization.

9. Communications

The platform may allow users to communicate with one another.

You must not use messaging features for harassment, threats, spam, scams, unsolicited advertising or other unlawful purposes.

We may take reasonable measures to investigate abuse, protect users and maintain the security of the service, including restricting or removing accounts or content where appropriate.

10. Prohibited activities

You may not use the platform to:

  • commit or facilitate illegal activity;
  • defraud or deceive other users;
  • distribute malware or malicious software;
  • circumvent security or access controls;
  • interfere with the operation of the platform;
  • scrape or automatically collect information in a manner that is not authorized;
  • create accounts or listings for abusive or deceptive purposes;
  • circumvent account suspensions or other platform restrictions;
  • use the service in a way that could damage the platform or other users.

11. Content moderation

We may remove, restrict or disable access to content or accounts where we reasonably believe that they violate these Terms, applicable law, or the security or integrity of the platform.

We may also respond to reports from users or third parties concerning potentially unlawful or abusive content.

We do not guarantee that all inappropriate or unlawful content will be detected or removed.

12. Intellectual property

The platform, including its software, design, branding and other materials provided by us, is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Except where expressly permitted, you may not copy, modify, distribute, reverse engineer or commercially exploit the platform or its proprietary components.

You retain ownership of content that you submit to the platform.

By submitting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process and display that content as necessary to operate, maintain and provide the platform.

This license ends when the relevant content is deleted, except where continued processing or retention is necessary for technical, legal or security reasons.

13. Availability

We aim to keep the platform available and functional, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

The service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, technical problems, security incidents or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

We may modify, suspend or discontinue features of the platform.

14. Third-party services

The platform may depend on third-party services, including authentication, hosting, storage, networking or other infrastructure providers.

We are not responsible for outages or failures caused by third-party services outside our reasonable control.

15. Liability

We provide the platform as an intermediary for users.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for:

  • the accuracy of user-generated content;
  • the conduct of users;
  • agreements or disputes between users;
  • goods or services offered by users;
  • payments made between users;
  • losses resulting from interactions between users.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is not permitted by applicable law.

In particular, these Terms do not exclude liability for intentional or grossly negligent conduct, liability that cannot legally be excluded, or applicable statutory consumer protections.

16. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you are responsible for losses, claims or costs arising from your unlawful use of the platform, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of the rights of another person.

This does not apply to the extent that such responsibility cannot legally be imposed.

17. Termination

You may stop using the platform and delete your account at any time.

We may suspend or terminate your access where you materially violate these Terms, misuse the platform, create security risks, engage in fraud or where termination is otherwise permitted by applicable law.

Termination does not affect obligations or rights that arose before termination.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms when necessary, for example when the platform or its features change or when required by law.

The current version will be published on this page.

Where applicable law requires us to provide notice of material changes, we will do so through appropriate means.

19. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Germany, subject to mandatory statutory rights and protections that apply to you.

If you are a consumer, mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country in which you have your habitual residence may apply where required by applicable law.
