Users may be associated with one or more organizations (each a "Group"): 1) a university; 2) an institutional donor; or 3) a nonprofit organization. StartNoobs are current or former students, usually with a tuition balance or student loan debt. Nonprofits are active 501(c)(3) charitable organizations, compliant with the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) regulations, making a difference in their communities. Donors are generous individuals or organizations, active private foundations compliant with the IRS regulations, that give generously and help encourage community engagement and education cost reduction. By registering for any account on StartNoo, you agree to abide by any additional applicable agreements, including the Privacy Policy.

When you register for a StartNoob Account and from time to time thereafter, your Account will be subject to verification of one or more official government or legal documents that confirm your identity. As such:

You hereby consent to, and authorize StartNoo directly, or through third parties, to make any inquiries necessary, as often as needed, to validate your identity and confirm your ownership of financial accounts, student identification, and your email address, subject to applicable laws or regulations, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA").

You hereby authorize StartNoo directly, or through third parties, to make payments on behalf of your verified student loan accounts, tuition bills, and other Academically Related Financial accounts. An Academically Related Financial Account is defined as any amounts owed to a lender, academic institution or other owner of any debt owed by you directly resulting from the pursuit of formal education qualifying for StartNoo payments as set forth in the StartNoob Terms.

6. RESTRICTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS ON USE OF SERVICE

Non-MSB Status

Definition of Activities

StartNoo is a social enterprise dedicated to fostering community engagement and reducing educational costs through volunteerism and generosity. The Site connects nonprofit organizations with students and former students who volunteer in exchange for educational loan repayment. This unique model emphasizes community service and educational support, rather than financial transactions or services.

Distinction from Money Services Business (MSB)

StartNoo is not a Money Services Business (MSB) as defined under applicable laws and regulations. StartNoo does not engage in money transmission services, currency exchange, or any other financial services typically associated with MSBs. StartNoo's activities are strictly limited to facilitating volunteer opportunities and educational support.

Legal Definition of MSB

A Money Services Business (MSB) is defined as a business that provides money transmission services or other financial services such as currency exchange, check cashing, or issuing money orders. StartNoo's activities do not fall under this category, as StartNoo does not engage in money transmission services as defined under applicable state and federal laws, including but not limited to the Bank Secrecy Act and state money transmitter laws. All payment processing is handled by licensed third-party payment processors. Any verification process on the platform, and/or through third party providers, is indended solely for identify verification, and not for financial transactions.

Use of Stripe as Payment Provider

For any financial transactions related to the Service, StartNoo utilizes Stripe as a third-party payment provider. Stripe handles all money transmission services, ensuring compliance with relevant financial regulations. StartNoo does not directly engage in any money transmission activities. Stripe's legal terms may be found at https://stripe.com/legal/.
