Terms of Use

By creating a Cohortly account or using any part of the service, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use Cohortly.

Cohortly is available to current students and graduates of the participating college for this launch, verified through a college email (or another verification method we may offer). Access is limited to that verified campus community — it is not an open multi-college directory. You must provide accurate affiliation, batch, and status information. Accounts with false affiliation information may be suspended.

You agree to use Cohortly to build genuine professional and mentorship connections within your college community, using messaging, mentorship requests, referral requests, and opportunity postings for their intended purpose.

Don't: impersonate another person or misrepresent affiliation/batch/employment; harass, spam, or repeatedly message members unsolicited; solicit payment for referrals, mentorship, or job placement; post fraudulent or misleading opportunities; scrape or redistribute other members' data; bypass verification, rate-limiting, or safety features. We may suspend or remove violating accounts.

Referrals, advice, and introductions are given voluntarily by individual members at their own discretion. Cohortly does not guarantee any request will be answered or matched, and is not a party to resulting hiring decisions, referral outcomes, or mentorship relationships. Members are responsible for their own conduct and commitments.

Opportunities are shared by individual members and are not verified or endorsed by Cohortly. We encourage members to confirm details directly with the posting company before applying. Cohortly is not responsible for the accuracy of member-posted listings.

You retain ownership of content you post. By posting, you grant Cohortly a limited licence to display, store, and transmit that content as needed to operate the service. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, subject to the retention terms in the Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, pose a safety risk, or were created with false information, and will notify the affected member where practical. Members can delete their own account anytime from Profile → Delete my account, or by emailing cohortly.in@gmail.com.

Cohortly is provided "as is." We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service, or any particular mentorship, referral, or opportunity outcome. Cohortly facilitates connections between members — it does not employ, endorse, or vouch for any member, mentor, referrer, or opportunity poster.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cohortly and its founder are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the service, including outcomes of mentorship advice, referrals, or opportunities shared through the platform.

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of India.

We may update these terms as Cohortly grows. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
