Terms of Use

By using NextToU (the website or the iPhone app) you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use NextToU.

What NextToU is

NextToU collects public campus event listings in one place. We aren’t the organizer of the events, and we can’t promise listings are complete or accurate — times and places can change, so check the original listing. Sponsored events are always labeled.

Who can use NextToU

NextToU is for students and staff of the universities we cover. To create an account you must be currently enrolled at, employed by, or otherwise registered with one of those campuses, and you sign up with the email address that campus gave you — that’s what the sign-up check is doing when it asks for your university address. If you leave the university, you can keep using your account, but we may ask you to confirm you’re still connected to a campus we support.

You must also be at least 13 years old. If you’re under 18, you need a parent or guardian’s permission to use NextToU and to agree to these terms. We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13; if you believe a child under 13 has created an account, contact us and we’ll delete it.

One account per person, and it’s yours alone — don’t share it or let someone else sign in with it. We may suspend or close an account that isn’t eligible under this section.

Your account

Keep your login details private and use NextToU for personal, non-commercial purposes. Don’t misuse the service (for example, by scraping it, trying to break its security, or interfering with other users). You can delete your account anytime from Account.

Messages we send you

Two separate things. Event reminders are ones you asked for, event by event, and arrive as notifications from the iPhone app. Offers and announcements are promotional, are only sent if you ticked the box at sign-up or turned it on in Account, and may arrive by email or text. Turning either off never affects the other. You can stop promotional texts by replying STOP, and promotional emails using the unsubscribe link. Message frequency varies; standard message and data rates apply. We also send messages you can’t opt out of while you have an account — confirming your email, resetting your password, and notices about your subscription — because they are how your account works rather than marketing.

We ask for a phone number at sign-up, and what we do with it follows the Offers and announcements setting, which is off unless you turn it on. With it on, offers can reach you by text as well as by email, and we can run reward schemes with brands and campus partners. Those partners usually identify people by phone number, either to credit a reward or to connect an account you already hold with them. None of that has started yet, and while the setting is off your number is not shared with anyone. Event reminders never use it, other students never see it, and we do not sell it. Turning the setting off stops both the texts and any sharing.

Keeping the app up to date

We may require you to install the latest version of the iPhone app to keep using it. We do this only when an older version would be broken or unsafe — for example after a change that stops it talking to our servers correctly. Updates are free from the App Store.

Plans and payments

• Plus ($1.99/month) and Premium ($4.99/month) are monthly subscriptions that renew automatically until you cancel.
• There is no free trial. Free Premium days are a gift: no card is needed, nothing renews, and nothing is charged when they run out.
• Bought on the website: billed by Stripe. Cancel anytime in Account → Manage billing; you keep the plan until the end of the period you paid for.
• Bought in the iPhone app: billed by Apple to your Apple ID. Payment is charged when you confirm. It renews unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Apple’s standard end-user license terms also apply to the app.
• Prices may change; we’ll tell you before a change affects your subscription.
• Refunds: cancelling stops the next payment and you keep the plan until the period you’ve already paid for ends. We don’t refund unused time, except where the law requires it — but if something went wrong (charged twice, charged after cancelling, the app didn’t work), email us and we’ll put it right. Purchases made in the iPhone app are refunded by Apple, not by us: ask at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Invites and free Premium days

• Every new account gets 7 days of Premium free once its email address is confirmed. Invite a friend and you get 7 more days when they start using NextToU.
• An invite counts only for a brand-new account that isn’t yours, up to 20 friends a year.
• Free days have no cash value, can’t be transferred or exchanged, and expire 12 months after you earn them. They don’t change or pause a paid subscription: if you already pay for Premium, the free days wait until that ends.
• We may hold, reject or take back rewards from fake or duplicate accounts, and we may change or end the program.

Content and liability

NextToU is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for events themselves, missed events, or indirect losses from using the service. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law.
