Meriqen AI™ Terms of Use & Honesty Disclaimer
The honest summary: Meriqen helps you find, understand, and track merit scholarships. It does not award scholarships, does not guarantee eligibility or selection, and never submits an application for you. The applications are yours — the facts in them, the writing in them, and the decision to submit them.
Version: 2026-08-10 · Effective: August 10, 2026 · Meriqen is in private beta.
Provider: Property Sapiens LLC, a Texas LLC, 16131 Salto Del Agua, San Antonio, TX 78255, USA · Legal contact: propertysapiens@gmail.com · Support: hello@meriqen.com
1. Eligibility and age requirements
- You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. Under 16, no account is created.
- If you are 16 or 17, a parent or guardian must approve your account by email before it activates. Your guardian then has a read-only view of your matches and application statuses, and may withdraw approval at any time, which pauses the account.
- You must provide accurate information, including your real date of birth.
2. What Meriqen does
Meriqen matches your profile against published scholarship rules, explains why each award fits or does not, tracks your applications and deadlines, sends reminders, and monitors official sponsor pages for changes. Where a sponsor permits it, Meriqen may also help you organize and improve your own application work.
Meriqen is not a scholarship provider, lender, financial-aid office, college counselor, or agent. It is not affiliated with any university or scholarship sponsor. Sponsor and university names appear only to identify their programs and belong to their owners.
3. What Meriqen never does
- It never submits, signs, or certifies an application on your behalf.
- It never accepts a sponsor’s terms for you or logs into application portals.
- It never claims to know your odds of winning. Labels like “Best Fit” describe how well published rules match your profile — they are not probabilities.
- It never asks for Social Security numbers, bank details, household income, FAFSA credentials, or application fees. Legitimate scholarships do not charge fees either.
4. Your responsibilities
- Verify before you rely. Deadlines, rules, and amounts come from sponsor pages that can change without notice. We show every source and its last-verified date — confirm the details on the sponsor’s official page before you build plans around them.
- Be honest in applications. Never misrepresent your grades, activities, role, or impact. One inflated claim can disqualify you everywhere.
- Follow each sponsor’s own rules about outside help and AI assistance. Where a sponsor prohibits or discourages AI help, Meriqen restricts what it will do for that application — and you are responsible for following those rules in the work you submit.
- Review everything. Any content Meriqen generates or suggests may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. You are responsible for reviewing and verifying all information before using it.
- Keep your sign-in credentials safe, and use one account that is yours alone.
5. Scholarship listings and third parties
- Scholarship programs are created and run by their sponsors, not by us. Sponsors decide eligibility, deadlines, and winners entirely at their own judgment; we accept no responsibility for their decisions.
- Links to sponsor sites are labeled and leave Meriqen; their sites have their own terms and privacy practices.
- We work to keep the catalog accurate and verified, and we flag suspected scams — but we cannot guarantee any third party’s information. If a listing looks wrong, use the report link and we will review it.
6. Free beta
- Meriqen is currently free for students. No payment details are collected.
- Features may change, break, or be removed during the beta; we make no uptime guarantee.
- Data retention and deletion follow our Privacy Policy.
7. Your content
Your profile facts, notes, and application materials are yours. You give us only the limited permission needed to store and display them back to you and, where applicable, the read-only guardian view. We claim no ownership of your applications or essays.
8. Acceptable use
Do not use Meriqen to misrepresent yourself, to access another person’s data, to scrape or resell the catalog, or to interfere with the service. We may suspend accounts that do.
9. Disclaimers and limits of liability
The service is provided “as is” during the beta. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Property Sapiens LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, for sponsor decisions, or for missed opportunities. During the free beta, our total liability for any claim will not exceed $50 or the amount you have paid us (currently $0), whichever is greater. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
10. Ending the relationship
You can delete your account at any time from your profile page. We may suspend or close accounts for violations of these terms. Sections that by their nature should survive (liability limits, your responsibilities for past submissions) survive.
11. Changes and governing law
We may update these terms during the beta; material changes will be announced in the app with a new version and effective date before they apply. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA.
