Terms & Conditions
Please read these terms carefully before using the BidandStudy platform. By using our services, you agree to be bound by these terms.
Last updated: April 2, 2026
1. Overview and Scope
FPP Edu Media LLC ("FPP Edu Media," "we," "our," "us") operates an online marketplace (the "Platform") that connects individual learners ("Students") with language schools ("Schools"). The Platform is marketed under the trade names BidandStudy, LeilãodeIntercâmbio, RematedeCursos, among others, used exclusively for marketing and communication purposes. The registered company responsible for all services and obligations is FPP Edu Media LLC. The Platform is not a university/college marketplace and does not itself provide educational services.
By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions (the "Terms"), our Privacy Policy, and our Cookie Policy.
2. Key Definitions
School: A language school participating on the Platform.
Student: An individual using the Platform to find and enroll in language courses.
Bid: A Student's price proposal and preferences submitted through the Platform.
Counteroffer: A School's reply proposing different terms.
Acceptance: A School's acceptance of a Bid (or a Student's acceptance of a Counteroffer).
Deposit: The 15% payment of the course value made by a Student to FPP Edu Media to secure enrollment.
Expiration Time: The date/time after which a Bid, Counteroffer, or Acceptance automatically lapses if no required action is taken.
3. Eligibility and Capacity
You must be 18 years or older and have legal capacity to contract. If you are under 18, you may only use the Platform with the active consent and responsibility of a parent or legal guardian.
4. Role of FPP Edu Media
FPP Edu Media operates as a technology Platform and, where applicable, payment facilitator and escrow holder for Deposits. The education contract is formed directly between the Student and the School. Schools are solely responsible for their course content, pricing, availability, policies, quality, and delivery.
5. School Identity and Messaging
School profiles may be visible in a generic form on the Platform. The School's full identity (name, logo, and website) is revealed to the Student upon receiving a proposal (Acceptance or Counteroffer) from a School.
Platform messaging between Student and School opens after payment of the 15% Deposit.
6. Bidding and the $15 Bid Fee
Submitting a Bid requires payment of a non-refundable USD $15 fee (the "Bid Fee"). The Bid Fee is the same regardless of how many Schools receive the Bid. Schools may accept, decline, or respond with a Counteroffer. All actions may include an Expiration Time displayed in the Platform. No contract is binding until the Student confirms by paying the 15% Deposit before the offer expires.
7. Acceptances, Deposits, and Payments
Deposit (15%): When a School accepts a Student's Bid, or when a Student accepts a School's Counteroffer, the Student may confirm before the offer expires by paying a 15% Deposit of the course value to FPP Edu Media. This Deposit secures enrollment and unlocks messaging between Student and School.
Remaining Balance (85%): The Student may choose to pay the remaining 85% to FPP Edu Media or directly to the School. In cases where the destination country's visa requires proof of full upfront payment, the total payment must be made before the course start date.
Taxes, FX, and Charges: Prices may exclude taxes/fees. Bank charges, foreign exchange spreads, and payment processor fees are the Student's responsibility.
Chargebacks/Failures: We may suspend messaging or cancel pending actions if a payment fails or is charged back.
8. Expirations
If the Student does not confirm an accepted Bid or Counteroffer by paying the Deposit before the Expiration Time, the offer lapses automatically without liability to either party.
9. Enrollment Confirmation and Contracting Party
Enrollment is only confirmed once (a) the School has accepted the Bid or the Student has accepted a Counteroffer, and (b) the Student has confirmed by paying the 15% Deposit to FPP Edu Media before the Expiration Time. The School then issues written confirmation and an invoice.
10. Changes to Reservations
Changes to confirmed bookings are governed by each School's policies. Some Schools allow changes within a short window after confirmation without extra fees; others may charge administrative or third-party costs. Changing Schools, reducing duration, or downgrading services may be treated as a cancellation under the School's policy.
11. Cancellations and Refunds
If a Student does not confirm an accepted Bid or Counteroffer by paying the 15% Deposit before expiry, the offer lapses and no Deposit is charged.
Bid Fee: The USD $15 Bid Fee is non-refundable.
Deposit: Refundability of the Deposit is determined by the School's policy shown at the time of acceptance. Where the School's policy allows, we will return the Deposit (minus any stated admin fees) after the School confirms eligibility.
Visa Refusal: If a visa application, submitted within the required timeframe, is denied, Students may request refunds in line with the School's policy by submitting official refusal documentation no later than 21 days before the course start date (unless the School specifies a different window). Admin fees may apply (e.g., up to USD $200), as stated by the School.
After Start Date: After the course begins, refunds are generally not available unless explicitly provided in the School's policy.
12. Accommodation (If Offered)
Accommodation (when provided) is managed by the School or third-party providers and is subject to their terms. Preferences listed in the Bid are not guaranteed. Detailed accommodation information is typically provided 1–2 weeks before the course start date.
13. Airport Transfers and Ancillary Services
Airport transfers and other ancillary services may be available through individual Schools or third parties and are subject to their separate terms, pricing, and availability.
14. Minimum Class Size and Holiday Schedules
Schools may replace group classes with reduced individual/small-group classes if minimum class sizes are not met. Classes typically do not occur on local/national holidays or weekends; missed classes are not usually refunded or rescheduled unless stated otherwise by the School.
15. Student Responsibilities (Travel, Health, Compliance)
Students are responsible for passports, visas, travel arrangements, insurance, customs/immigration rules, and health requirements. Students should inform Schools of relevant medical considerations and follow local regulations.
16. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to: (a) misrepresent identity or documentation; (b) automatically extract data from, harvest information from, or reverse-engineer the Platform; (c) post abusive, illegal, or infringing content; (d) interfere with the Platform; or (e) violate sanctions, export controls, or other applicable laws. We may suspend or terminate accounts for violations.
17. Information Accuracy
School listings, prices, availability, policies, and descriptions are provided by the Schools. FPP Edu Media does not guarantee accuracy or completeness and is not liable for errors/omissions. Currency conversions shown on the Platform are for information only.
18. Privacy; KYC/AML
We process personal data per our Privacy Policy (GDPR-aligned). We may conduct KYC/AML/sanctions screening and freeze or refund payments where required by law or to prevent misuse.

21. Disclaimers; Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Platform is provided "as is." We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, admission outcomes, visas, accommodation, or course results.
Schools are solely responsible for the delivery and quality of their services.
Our total liability for claims arising out of or related to the Platform shall not exceed the aggregate fees paid to FPP Edu Media for the relevant transaction(s). We shall not be liable for indirect, punitive, incidental, or consequential damages.
22. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to the Platform at any time for any reason, including misuse, fraud, non-payment, chargebacks, or suspected violations of these Terms.
23. Governing Law and Venue

24. Language and Precedence
We may provide these Terms in multiple languages (e.g., English, Portuguese, Spanish). In the event of inconsistency or conflict, the English version controls.
