Institutional Service Agreement
The additional agreement for community and company accounts: authority to represent, student privacy, and sponsorship terms.
- Effective date:
- 4 August 2026
This document was drawn up in Turkish, and the Turkish text governs. This English version is an unofficial translation provided for convenience.
This agreement covers institutional users ("Institution") that open a community or company account on UniConnectly and is an annex to the general Terms of Use. The representative opening the institutional account declares that they are authorised to accept this agreement on behalf of the Institution.
1.Parties and Scope
Between UniConnectly ("UniConnectly") and the Institution, this agreement governs the Institution's use of community management, event/announcement publishing, interaction with students, and (for companies) career/recruitment discovery services on the Platform.
2.Institution Obligations
- To provide accurate institutional identity information and to undergo the verification process.
- To use the account only for legitimate institutional purposes, in accordance with the law and this agreement.
- To be responsible for the appointment of authorised representatives/administrators and for their actions.
2.1.Authority to Represent and Accuracy of Declarations
The person opening the institutional account declares that they are authorised to represent the Institution. Institutional accounts opened without such authority are closed; the resulting legal and financial liability rests with the natural person who opened the account. Upon application by the genuine rights holder we take reasonable steps to transfer or close the account.
The Institution is responsible for the accuracy and currency of the institutional information entered on the Platform (title, field of activity, contact details, authorised person details, and the like). An untrue or misleading declaration constitutes a breach of this agreement and may result in suspension or termination of the account.
3.Data Use and Student Privacy (CRITICAL)
- Companies do not see students as individuals. Career discovery works only where the student's explicit consent plus the community's approval exist, and gives the company only an aggregate (at least 5 people), personal-data-free access view.
- The Institution may not use any data it accesses through the Platform in order to re-identify individuals, to collect it automatically (scraping) without permission, or for purposes beyond its intended one (e.g. off-purpose marketing, sale to third parties). These prohibitions constitute a material breach of the agreement.
- If the Institution communicates with students, it is itself obliged to comply with its own KVKK obligations (notice, explicit consent, data security) and is an independent data controller in that respect.
4.Content and Brand
- The Institution declares that it holds the rights to the logo/visual/content it uploads, and grants UniConnectly a limited licence to display it.
- Misleading or unlawful content/offers, or those that exploit students, are prohibited.
5.Commercial Terms (Sponsorship)
- No payment passes through the Platform. UniConnectly does not set, display, or collect any fee, price, or sponsorship amount between the parties, and provides no payment intermediation.
- Sponsorship features exist solely to bring the parties together. All negotiation and agreement on amounts, consideration, and payment terms take place between the parties themselves, outside the Platform, and at their own responsibility.
- UniConnectly is not responsible for the presentation files, decks, and message content the parties send each other, and does not interfere with that content.
- The Institution is itself responsible for the tax and financial obligations arising from a sponsorship relationship.
6.Term, Suspension, and Termination
- UniConnectly may suspend or terminate an Institution account that breaches this agreement or the Terms of Use (immediately in the case of student privacy violations in particular).
- When the Institution wishes to close its account, its data is handled according to the relevant processes.
7.Liability and Indemnity
The Institution is liable for damage arising from its breach of this agreement (in particular the data/privacy provisions of §3) and for third-party/student claims, and shall indemnify UniConnectly.
8.Governing Law and Disputes
The law of the Republic of Türkiye applies; the courts and enforcement offices of Istanbul / the company's registered office have jurisdiction over disputes.
