VANSTU x BASE is an open chat app for VANSTU and BASE members, ambassadors, and volunteers to participate in activities, collect points, and earn rewards. For ambassadors and volunteers specifically, the app also facilitates official team communication, enabling open collaboration with other members and admins. It uses AI algorithms to analyze interactions (e.g., messages, response times, invitations) to measure, showcase, and certify involvement and soft skills such as communication, leadership, and collaboration. For ambassadors and volunteers, every message and interaction contributes to your official profile, including certificates of involvement and quantified soft skills. For transparency, credibility, and to avoid abuse, all chats, messages, and interactions are publicly accessible. Results, such as rankings, percentiles, certifications, points, and rewards, may be publicly displayed.
You agree to use the Services responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws, VANSTU and BASE policies, and these Terms. Interactions should focus on collaborative, professional, and activity-related activities. You must not:

You retain ownership of content you post but grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, analyze, display, and derive insights from it (e.g., for AI training, public certifications, profiles, points, and rewards), consistent with our Privacy Policy.
The Services are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in British Columbia, except for matters eligible for small claims court or claims seeking injunctive relief.
We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. We will notify you of material changes via the Services or email.
If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us.
