This Agreement is supplemented by the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, which are also an integral part of this Agreement.

The Parties hereby agree on the following:

What is included in the "Selection of suitable academic programs" service

  • language of instruction
  • admission requirements
  • list of required documents for enrollment

Service cost calculation

• The cost of the program selection service depends on the amount of the Academic programs inquired by the Customer and specified in the contract.
• Programs can be selected both at different universities and/or at the same university (with some variation in the name and content of the course), unless otherwise specified in advance.
• An academic program is a direction of study in an educational institution. For example, Bachelor in Computer Science or Bachelor in Software Engineering.
• In the case of a request for the selection/development of programs on an urgent basis (in 5 business days or less), the cost of the service increases by 50%.
• In the case of ordering the MBA program selection service, the cost of the service increases by 50% due to the need to send the Customer's educational documents/CV to educational institutions for a preliminary compliance assessment, as well as to provide UniPage with an individual list of documents and requirements for admission.

Terms of service provision

The term for the provision of this service is up to 3 (three) weeks* depending on the complexity of the request.

The period can be extended upon agreement with the Customer.

*If there are public holidays during the service provision period, the service provision period increases in proportion to the number of days off.

Additional agreement

Due to the current global situation, educational institutions, consulates, visa centers, and other authorities reserve the right to unilaterally make decisions without prior notice. These decisions can have significant implications for the Customer, including the complete or temporary transition to online learning, the implementation of additional requirements, the cancellation of education with or without compensation, the closure of consulate interview slots, border closures, and other circumstances that may hinder the Customer's travel or entry into the country of study.

The Contractor has no control over the decisions made by authorized authorities and cannot be held liable to the Customer for such decisions. The Contractor assumes responsibility solely for the quality of the services provided. The Contractor diligently and efficiently fulfills the obligations outlined in the contract. Non-compliance with obligations by third parties, namely the aforementioned authorities, does not entitle the Customer to a refund from the Contractor. In case of program or trip cancellation/rescheduling, the Customer bears all associated risks, including financial ones.

By entering into this Agreement, the Contractor guarantees that, at the time of signing, the situation allows for the selection of programs under the agreed terms. Any subsequent changes beyond the control of the Contractor cannot serve as grounds for Contract termination or compensation for the entire service amount.

The Customer possesses the right to terminate the Contract in accordance with the standard terms specified in the Contract. This termination includes the obligation to provide due compensation and mandatory deduction of the amount corresponding to the work completed, as outlined in clauses 5.3 and 6. of the Contract.
