Last Updated: 11/20/2025
1. Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to Northway! These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you," "your," or "User") and Northway Inc. ("Northway," "we," "us," or "our"). This agreement governs your access to and use of our website, platform, and all related guidance and facilitation services (collectively, the "Services").
By creating an account, accessing our website, or using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not access or use our Services.
2. Description of Services & Our Mission
Northway's mission is to combat the student debt crisis by providing students, particularly those facing the high costs of education in regions like the United States, with a clear, supported, and affordable pathway to high-quality international degrees.
Our Role: We are an expert guidance and facilitation service. We are not a university, a scholarship-granting institution, a financial services provider, or a government agency. Our Service consists of providing information on vetted international universities, personalized strategy development, comprehensive application assistance, and guidance through the visa and relocation process.
Our goal is to act as your dedicated partner and advocate, leveraging our expertise to simplify the complex process of studying abroad and empower you to make informed decisions that align with your academic and financial goals.
3. User Accounts and Responsibilities
Account Creation: To access the full suite of our Services, you must register for an account. You agree to provide information that is accurate, complete, and current at all times. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of the Terms, which may result in immediate termination of your account.
Your Responsibility: The success of our partnership depends on the accuracy of the information you provide. You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your account and for maintaining the confidentiality of your password. You must notify us immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account.
4. Service Fees and Payment Structure
We operate on a "Success-Based" fee model to align our interests directly with yours.
- Initial Free Services: Creating an account, completing your profile, and participating in your initial 1-on-1 strategy call are completely free of charge and carry no obligation.
- One-Time Service Fee: A one-time, non-refundable service fee of $100 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) becomes due only after two conditions are met: (1) you have received an official letter of admission from a university through our Services, AND (2) you have successfully been granted the corresponding student visa.
- Third-Party Fees: You acknowledge that you are responsible for any and all fees required by third parties, which are not included in our service fee. These may include, but are not limited to, university application fees, visa application fees, standardized test fees, transcript evaluation fees, and travel costs. We will strive to provide transparency regarding these potential costs.
5. No Guarantee of Admission or Visa
While we pride ourselves on an exceptional success rate for qualified students who follow our guidance, you acknowledge that Northway cannot and does not provide any legal guarantee of university admission or visa approval.
The final decisions on all applications rest exclusively with the university admissions departments, and visa issuance is at the sole discretion of the consular officers and immigration authorities of the respective countries. We guarantee to apply our full professional expertise and effort to prepare and guide you, thereby maximizing your chances of a successful outcome. Our Service is the provision of expert guidance, not the guarantee of a specific result.

8. Termination
We may terminate or suspend your account and bar access to the Services immediately, without prior notice or liability, under our sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever and without limitation, including but not limited to a breach of the Terms.
If you wish to terminate your account, you may simply discontinue using the Services or contact us to request account deletion.
9. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.
10. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect by posting a notice on our website or sending an email to the address associated with your account. By continuing to access or use our Services after any revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.
