UNICONS operates as an educational consultancy whose primary purpose is to assist students in identifying, applying to, and enrolling at universities and other educational institutions ("Partner Institutions") in the United Kingdom and internationally.

2.1 Free-to-Student Model

UNICONS' core consultancy services are provided to students entirely free of charge. UNICONS generates revenue exclusively through commissions paid by Partner Institutions upon the successful enrolment of students introduced by UNICONS. This commercial arrangement does not affect the objectivity of advice provided to students, and UNICONS is committed to acting in the best interests of students at all times.

The services UNICONS may provide to you include, but are not limited to:

• Guidance on selecting appropriate universities and courses based on your academic profile, career aspirations, and personal circumstances

2.3 Scope Limitations

UNICONS does not provide legal advice, immigration advice regulated under the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) framework, financial advice regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), or medical advice. Where specialist regulated advice is required, UNICONS will signpost you to appropriately regulated professionals.

2.4 No Employment Relationship

Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, joint venture, or partnership relationship between you and UNICONS beyond the consultancy relationship described herein.

3.1 UNICONS provides assistance with the university application process but does not guarantee, warrant, or represent that:

• Entry requirements communicated by UNICONS accurately reflect the final requirements applied by a Partner Institution at the time of assessment

3.2 Admissions decisions rest solely with Partner Institutions and are subject to their own internal policies, eligibility criteria, capacity constraints, and academic assessment processes. UNICONS has no authority to influence, overturn, or guarantee the outcome of any admissions decision.

3.3 Where UNICONS communicates indicative entry requirements or likelihood of success, such communications are made in good faith based on information available at the time and do not constitute a guarantee or warranty of any kind.

4.3 UNICONS is not registered or regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) as an immigration adviser. For formal immigration advice, you are strongly encouraged to consult an OISC-registered adviser.
