If you are using Faculty World on behalf of an institution or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these terms.

2. About the platform

Faculty World is a global academic marketplace that connects faculty, experts, and institutions for recruitment, teaching, mentoring, and verified professional engagement.

We provide tools for profile creation, opportunity discovery, structured contact requests, and role-based dashboards. We do not guarantee placement, hiring outcomes, or the accuracy of user-submitted information.

You must provide accurate registration information and maintain the security of your account credentials. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account.

Faculty World supports distinct account types, including faculty or expert accounts and institution accounts. You must select the role that accurately reflects how you use the platform.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that provide false information, violate these terms, or pose a risk to other users or the platform.

4. Profiles, listings, and user content

You retain ownership of content you submit, including academic profiles, credentials, opportunity listings, and messages sent through approved contact flows.

You grant Faculty World a non-exclusive license to host, display, and process your content as needed to operate the platform, improve services, and enforce these terms.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your content is accurate, lawful, and does not infringe the rights of others.

5. Contact requests and communications

Faculty World provides a privacy-first contact flow designed to help institutions and faculty connect without unnecessary exposure of personal contact details.

You agree to use platform communication tools professionally and only for legitimate academic or professional purposes related to opportunities on Faculty World.

Harassment, spam, unsolicited marketing, or attempts to bypass platform safeguards are prohibited.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Faculty World and its affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the platform.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the platform will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or one hundred U.S. dollars.
