Membership Terms and Conditions

1. About Campus Growth

Campus Growth Hub is a career, education, opportunity, and professional-development platform operated by Scholars Business Consultancy LTD from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The platform may provide free information, member-only resources, paid coaching and review services, scholarship and application guidance, research consultancy, downloadable templates, and links to opportunities offered by independent organisations.

Contact details: Shaaban Robert Street, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; info@scholarsbusiness.com; +255 767 992 345.

2. Eligibility and Member Accounts

1. You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering a contract. A person below 18 may use the platform only with the verifiable consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
2. You must provide accurate, current, and complete registration and contact information and keep it updated.
3. Your account is personal to you. You must keep your password confidential, use reasonable security measures, and promptly tell us if you suspect unauthorised access.
4. You may not sell, lend, transfer, share, or permit another person to use your account or member-only resources.
5. You are responsible for activity performed through your account unless you notified us promptly of unauthorised use and the activity was not caused by your failure to protect your credentials.
6. We may require reasonable identity, eligibility, student status, payment, or service-scope verification where necessary to prevent fraud, protect restricted resources, or deliver a requested service.

3. Membership, Access, and Subscriptions

Services may be designated as public, free-member, premium-member, one-time, monthly, or custom-priced. Access rights depend on the plan or service shown when you register or submit a request.

• Free access: public pages and resources identified as free may be used without payment, subject to these Terms.
• Member access: some resources require a valid signed-in account even where no separate fee applies.
• Paid plans and services: access begins only after we confirm the request and any required payment. A submitted subscription form is a request, not an automatic guarantee of acceptance.
• Custom services: research, dissertation, data-analysis, publication, and related consultancy requests require a scope and price discussion. No contract for custom work exists until scope, deliverables, timetable, responsibilities, and price are confirmed in writing.

Membership grants a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access the relevant service for your personal educational and professional-development use. It does not transfer ownership of the platform or its resources.

4. Nature of Our Services

4.1 Opportunity listings

Scholarships, internships, fellowships, jobs, grants, competitions, and similar opportunities are curated for convenience. Unless expressly stated, SBC is not the sponsor, employer, university, funder, or decision-maker. You must verify eligibility, deadlines, fees, authenticity, data practices, and application requirements on the official provider website.

4.2 Career and application guidance

Career consultations, coaching, CV and LinkedIn reviews, interview preparation, networking support, scholarship strategy, document templates, and application guidance are educational and advisory. You remain responsible for your decisions, representations, applications, interviews, deadlines, and final documents.

4.3 No guaranteed outcome

We do not guarantee admission, employment, promotion, funding, publication, visa approval, scholarship selection, examination results, research approval, or any other outcome. Outcomes depend on third-party decisions, your qualifications and conduct, competition, timing, institutional rules, and factors outside our control.

4.4 Professional boundaries

Platform content is general information and is not legal, medical, tax, immigration, investment, or regulated financial advice. Obtain advice from a suitably qualified professional for decisions requiring such expertise.

5. Academic Integrity and Research Support

Research consultancy may include research design guidance, literature review support, methodology advice, data-collection planning, qualitative or quantitative analysis, econometric modelling, software support involving STATA, EViews or SPSS, editing, formatting, publication guidance, concept-note development, and collaboration.

You agree that:

1. you remain the author and accountable owner of work submitted in your name;
2. you will disclose assistance where required by your university, employer, publisher, funder, professional body, or applicable policy;
3. you will not ask us to impersonate you, sit an assessment, falsify authorship, fabricate or manipulate data, conceal plagiarism, create false references, bypass research ethics approval, or violate an institution’s academic-integrity rules;
4. you have the lawful right and any required consent to share research data, personal data, confidential documents, or third-party materials with us;
5. you will remove or minimise identifiable and sensitive personal data before sharing it unless its inclusion is necessary, lawful, secure, and expressly agreed; and
6. we may refuse, pause, or terminate work that reasonably appears unlawful, deceptive, unsafe, unethical, or inconsistent with research or academic-integrity requirements.

Guidance, draft language, analysis, comments, and examples must be independently reviewed by you. You are responsible for accuracy, citations, originality checks, ethics compliance, institutional approval, and the final use of all work.

6. Prices, Payment, Cancellation, and Refunds

1. Prices may be displayed in United States Dollars (USD) and Tanzanian Shillings (TZS). A TZS amount described as approximate is a reference conversion. The confirmed invoice, payment request, or checkout amount controls the transaction.
2. Prices exclude taxes, bank charges, mobile-money charges, card charges, foreign-exchange costs, or third-party fees unless expressly stated otherwise.
3. You authorise us and our payment providers to process the amount and payment information necessary for the selected service. We do not intentionally store full payment-card credentials on the website.
4. No plan renews automatically unless the renewal frequency, price, cancellation method, and your express authorisation are clearly disclosed before payment.
5. You may request cancellation before work starts or before the next confirmed billing period by contacting us. Cancellation does not automatically refund work already performed, resources already delivered, booked time already used, or non-recoverable third-party costs.
6. If we cancel a paid service before delivering the paid portion, we will offer a proportionate refund or reasonable replacement, subject to applicable law.
7. For custom services, any deposit, milestone, revision, rescheduling, late-payment, and refund terms stated in the written proposal or invoice form part of the agreement and take priority for that engagement.
8. Nothing in these Terms removes a refund, remedy, or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable Tanzanian or other mandatory law.

7. Downloadable Resources and Intellectual Property

The website, brand, software, page design, databases, original text, graphics, videos, templates, guides, worksheets, and downloadable resources are owned by or licensed to SBC and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws.

Unless a resource states a different licence, you may download and adapt it for your own personal, non-commercial education, career development, or application. You may not resell, publicly redistribute, sublicense, upload to a competing library, remove ownership notices, systematically copy, scrape, or use it to train a commercial model or service without prior written permission.

You retain ownership of original documents, data, and materials you provide. You grant us a limited licence to host, copy, review, edit, analyse, transmit to approved service providers, and otherwise process those materials only as reasonably necessary to provide the requested service, maintain records, secure the platform, and comply with law.

Feedback and suggestions may be used to improve the platform without identifying you or disclosing your confidential material.

8. Acceptable Use

You must not use the platform to:

• break any law, regulation, court order, contractual duty, intellectual-property right, privacy right, or institutional policy;
• submit false, misleading, fraudulent, defamatory, discriminatory, abusive, threatening, obscene, or unlawful material;
• upload malware, exploit vulnerabilities, probe security, overwhelm services, bypass access controls, or interfere with another user;
• collect member data, send spam, conduct unauthorised marketing, or scrape content by automated means without written permission;
• share premium resources or credentials, evade payment, misuse discount eligibility, or obtain access through deception;
• misrepresent affiliation with SBC or any opportunity provider; or
• use advice, templates, research assistance, or generated material to commit academic misconduct, fraud, impersonation, or deception.

We may investigate suspected misuse and preserve or disclose relevant information where reasonably necessary to protect users, enforce these Terms, respond to lawful process, or comply with applicable law.

9. Privacy and Personal Data

We process member and enquiry information in accordance with applicable data-protection law, including the Personal Data Protection Act, 2022 (Chapter 44) of Tanzania and the Personal Data Protection Regulations, 2023. Where a mandatory international privacy law applies to a particular user or processing activity, including the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation, we will apply the rights and safeguards required by that law.

9.1 Data we may process

This may include your name, username, email address, phone number, institution or organisation, membership details, service requests, communications, uploaded documents, subscription history, payment status, device and security logs, consent records, and information needed to deliver coaching, review, research, or enquiry services.

9.2 Purposes and legal grounds

We process data to create and secure accounts; provide requested services; communicate about enquiries and subscriptions; manage payments and records; personalise access; prevent fraud and misuse; improve the platform; satisfy legal obligations; and, where permitted, send service or marketing communications. Processing is based on contract, steps requested before a contract, consent where required, compliance with legal obligations, and legitimate interests that do not override applicable member rights.

9.3 Sharing and international processing

We may use vetted hosting, email, analytics, communications, document, payment, security, and professional-service providers. We disclose only what is reasonably necessary and require appropriate confidentiality, security, and data-processing safeguards. Cross-border transfers will use a lawful transfer basis and safeguards required by applicable law.

9.4 Retention and security

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the stated purpose, contractual records, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, backups, and legal or tax obligations. We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, but no internet service can promise absolute security.

9.5 Your rights

Subject to legal conditions and exceptions, you may request information, access, correction, restriction, objection, portability, erasure or destruction, withdrawal of consent, and review of certain automated decisions. You may also complain to us and, where applicable, to the Tanzania Personal Data Protection Commission or another competent regulator. Withdrawing consent does not invalidate processing lawfully completed before withdrawal and may make an optional service unavailable.

9.6 Communications and cookies

Transactional messages about accounts, security, subscriptions, and requested services are necessary service communications. You may opt out of non-essential marketing. The site may use essential cookies for login, security, preferences, and forms, and will request consent for non-essential cookies where required.

10. Third-Party Opportunities, Websites, and Services

External links and third-party names are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement, partnership, or control. Third-party terms, privacy notices, fees, eligibility rules, and security practices apply when you leave our platform. We are not responsible for a third party changing, closing, delaying, rejecting, misdescribing, or failing to deliver an opportunity or service.

Never pay an opportunity provider or disclose sensitive information until you have independently verified legitimacy. Report suspected scams or broken links to us so we can review the listing.

11. Availability, Disclaimers, and Limitation of Liability

We aim to keep information useful, current, and secure, but the platform and general resources are provided on an “as available” basis. Information may contain errors, become outdated, or be interrupted for maintenance, security, connectivity, hosting, or events outside our reasonable control.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SBC does not give implied guarantees of uninterrupted access, error-free operation, fitness for a particular outcome, or success with an employer, university, scholarship provider, publisher, regulator, or other third party.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SBC will not be liable for indirect, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive loss; loss of opportunity, profit, reputation, data, scholarship, employment, admission, publication, or anticipated savings; or loss caused by reliance on an unverified third-party listing.

Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our aggregate liability arising from a paid service will be limited to the amount you paid us for the specific service giving rise to the claim during the six months before the event, unless mandatory law requires a greater remedy.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence where such liability cannot be excluded, breach of non-excludable data-protection duties, or any statutory consumer right that must remain available.

12. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the platform and request account closure at any time, subject to outstanding payments, active work, lawful retention, and records needed to resolve disputes.

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access where reasonably necessary because of non-payment, account sharing, fraud, security risk, unlawful or abusive conduct, academic misconduct, infringement, material breach of these Terms, a legal requirement, or discontinuation of a service. Where appropriate, we will give notice and a reasonable opportunity to remedy the issue.

Provisions concerning payment, intellectual property, confidentiality, acceptable use, data records, disclaimers, liability, disputes, and any accrued rights survive termination.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms and non-contractual matters connected with them are governed by the laws of the United Republic of Tanzania, without excluding any mandatory consumer or data-protection right that applies to you in another jurisdiction.

Before filing a claim, each party should send a written description of the dispute and allow at least 30 days for good-faith discussion, unless urgent court relief, a regulatory complaint, or a limitation deadline makes that impractical. If the dispute is not resolved, the courts of competent jurisdiction in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania will have jurisdiction, subject to any non-waivable right to bring a claim elsewhere.

You may make a data-protection complaint to the Tanzania Personal Data Protection Commission and may use any other statutory complaint or consumer-redress process available under applicable law.

14. General Provisions

• Changes: We may update these Terms for legal, security, operational, or service reasons. Material changes will be notified through the website, account, or email where reasonably practicable and will apply prospectively from the stated effective date.
• Price or service changes: Changes apply to future purchases or billing periods unless a confirmed written engagement states otherwise.
• Electronic agreement: Checking an acceptance box, creating an account, clicking a service request, or otherwise giving electronic assent has the same effect as signing where recognised by applicable law.
• Entire agreement: These Terms, the displayed service details, an accepted custom proposal or invoice, and any applicable privacy or refund notice form the agreement. A specific written custom-service term prevails over a conflicting general term for that engagement.
• Severability: If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions continue.
• No waiver: Delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver.
• Assignment: You may not transfer your account or agreement without our written consent. We may transfer the agreement as part of a lawful restructuring, merger, or business transfer while preserving applicable member rights.
• Force majeure: Neither party is responsible for delay caused by events beyond reasonable control, except that this does not erase payment obligations for services already delivered.
• Language: The English version controls unless a formally adopted translation expressly states otherwise.
