The short version. Basera is a free guide, not legal advice. Be decent, don’t game the referrals, and check gov.uk before you act on anything about your visa.
1. Who we are
Basera is run by Oakley Ridge Ltd (“we”, “us”). By using joinbasera.com or app.joinbasera.com you agree to these terms. If you don’t, please don’t use Basera. Our privacy policy explains how we handle your data.
2. Information, not advice
Basera gives general information to help you settle in the UK. It is not legal, immigration, financial or medical advice, and we aren’t a law firm or an authorised immigration adviser. Rules, prices and offers change. Always check gov.uk and your university before relying on anything here, especially about your visa. We try hard to keep things accurate but can’t promise it is complete or current.
3. Free to use, and how we earn
Basera is free to use. Some links pay us a fee — never you. When you sign up with a provider through one of our links, the provider may pay us. It never costs you more, and it doesn’t change our verdicts. Any agreement you make with a provider is between you and them.
4. Acceptable use
- Use Basera for yourself and for its intended purpose.
- Don’t break the law, harass anyone, or try to disrupt or break into the service.
- Don’t scrape the service, or use bots or scripts against it.
- Keep your sign-in secure. You’re responsible for activity on your account.
5. Referrals and the leaderboard
- One person, one account. Each referral must be a real person who signs up for themselves.
- Fake, duplicate, paid-for or self-referred accounts don’t count. We can remove them, adjust leaderboard positions, and close accounts that break these rules.
- Milestone rewards are coming soon. They’re not guaranteed, and we may change or withdraw them. Nothing on the leaderboard is a promise of a prize.
6. Our content
The Basera name, logo, stamps, guides and design belong to Oakley Ridge Ltd. You may use them to enjoy Basera and to share your own “letter home” cards. Please don’t copy the content or pass it off as your own.
7. Our responsibility
We provide Basera “as is”. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud. Otherwise, so far as the law allows, we aren’t liable for losses from relying on information in Basera, from provider services you reach through our links, or from the service being unavailable. Because Basera is free, our total liability to you is limited to £100.
8. Ending things
You can stop using Basera, or delete your account in the app (Profile, Settings, Delete account), whenever you like. We can suspend or close accounts that break these terms.
9. Changes
We may update these terms. If the change matters, we’ll tell you in the app. Carrying on using Basera after that means you accept the new terms.
10. Law and contact
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, though if you live elsewhere in the UK you keep your local consumer rights. Questions: hello@joinbasera.com.
