We operate the website ns.com (the "Site"), as well as any other related products and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the "Legal Terms") (collectively, the "Services").
Network School is an in-person community where members learn technology, earn online, burn calories, and enjoy fun events with each other. The ns.com/earn platform is a task completion site where users can earn cryptocurrency.

These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you"), and NS0 PTE LTD, concerning your access to and use of the Services. You agree that by accessing the Services, you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all of these Legal Terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SERVICES AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.
Some of our Services may require additional terms or product requirements. We will make additional terms available with the relevant Services, and those additional terms will become part of your agreement with us if you use those Services.
Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Services from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Legal Terms from time to time. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last updated" date of these Legal Terms, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Legal Terms to stay informed of updates. You will be subject to, and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised Legal Terms by your continued use of the Services after the date such revised Legal Terms are posted.
The Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years old.

A person under the age of 18 may be physically present at, or use limited Services in connection with, NS premises and events only as expressly permitted under Section 24.8 (Families) and subject to the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian.
The information provided when using the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
The Services are not tailored to comply with industry-specific US regulations (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), etc.), so if your interactions would be subjected to such laws, you may not use the Services.

References to "Network School," "learning," "Scholar," "Fellow," "Exam," "training," or similar terms in connection with the Services describe a private community and its activities only, and do not denote a regulated course of study.

From time to time, we may provide you access to beta or other pre-release versions of our Services. We will designate when a Service is in beta or pre-release by including the designation "BETA", or a similar designation, in or near the product description. When a Service is in beta or pre-release, the Service is still in development and is not ready for general commercial release. Such Service may contain bugs, errors and defects.

These Legal Terms shall be governed by and defined following the laws of Singapore. Subject to the arbitration agreement in Section 16, NS0 PTE LTD and yourself irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore in respect of any dispute that is not required to be referred to arbitration, including any application for interim or injunctive relief and any proceeding to enforce an arbitral award.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH NS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party. Notice to NS shall be sent to [email protected]. Your notice must include: (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, the email address you use or used for your NS registration and, if different, an email address at which you can be contacted; (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute; and (c) the specific relief that you are seeking. Our notice to you will be sent electronically in accordance with these Terms.
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Legal Terms, including any question regarding its existence, validity, or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the SIAC (the "SIAC Rules") for the time being in force, which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause. The number of arbitrators shall be one (1). The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be Singapore. The language of the proceedings shall be English. The governing law of these Legal Terms shall be substantive law of Singapore.
You and NS agree that any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, the Services, or the Content is personal to you and NS and that such Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. You and NS agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and NS agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.
If any term, clause or provision of this arbitration agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this arbitration agreement will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in this arbitration agreement are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court in Singapore, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Legal Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Legal Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time. We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control. If any provision or part of a provision of these Legal Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Legal Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Legal Terms or use of the Services. You agree that these Legal Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them. You hereby waive any and all defenses you may have based on the electronic form of these Legal Terms and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute these Legal Terms.
Benefit of the NS Group. Each disclaimer, exclusion, limitation or cap of liability, release, and indemnity expressed in these Legal Terms in favor of the Company applies equally to and for the benefit of each member of the NS Group and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (each a "Released Party"), and any monetary cap on liability is a single aggregate cap for all Released Parties collectively and not a separate cap for each. Save for the Released Parties, who may enforce and rely on those provisions, a person who is not a party to these Legal Terms has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 2001 of Singapore to enforce any of its terms. The Company may rescind, vary, or amend these Legal Terms without the consent of any Released Party.
These terms apply to specific categories of users in addition to all other provisions of these Legal Terms, and are cumulative such that you are bound by every category that applies to you. Depending on their category, a user may also be required to sign a separate agreement relevant to them.
A Website User is anyone who accesses or uses ns.com or any related online Service, whether or not they hold an account, have paid a fee, or attend in person. By accessing the Services you become a Website User, confirm you are at least 18 years old, and agree to these Legal Terms and the Privacy Policy. These Website User terms are the online baseline for every category below.
A Visitor is anyone physically present at any NS premises or event, whether or not they are a Member. While on NS premises or at an NS event, a Visitor agrees to: (a) treat others with respect and refrain from harassment, intimidation, violence, or doxxing; (b) comply with the instructions of NS staff and all posted safety rules; (c) carry no weapons or contraband; (d) provide identification proof and proof of registration on request; (e) not disclose or publish another attendee’s personal information, real-time location, images, or non-public materials shared at the event without that person’s consent; and (f) acknowledge that NS and its partners may photograph or record the event and may use that media. NS may refuse entry to, or remove, any Visitor who breaches these terms. These Visitor terms are the on-premises baseline for every in-person category below.
A Member is a Visitor who has purchased an NS membership under the Network School Agreement. Members are bound by these Legal Terms, the Visitor terms above, and the Network School Agreement, including its payment, conduct, accommodation, and media provisions. These Member terms apply to all NS members, including Longtermers, Fellows, and Scholars.
A Longtermer is a Member who has committed to a 12-month membership under the Long-Term Addendum. Longtermers are bound by all Member terms plus the Long-Term Addendum, including its commitment, deposit, and other provisions.
A Fellow is a Member admitted for NS Fellowship. Fellows are bound by all Member terms and by additional Fellowship terms which they must sign separately.
A Scholar is a User who has applied for, participates in, or receives any outcome from the Network School Scholarship Program (the "Scholarship Program"). A Scholar is required to sign a separate Scholarship Agreement; where it conflicts with these terms on Scholarship Program–specific matters, the signed agreement prevails.
The Scholarship Program proceeds in stages: application and online exam; approval by NS; arrival and identity verification; in-person examination; a residency phase at NS's sole discretion; and an outcome (placement assistance, training, or termination). A Scholar acknowledges that passing any stage does not entitle the Scholar to advance to any subsequent stage, and that application, exam success, residency, and placement outcomes are not guaranteed and remain in the sole and absolute discretion of NS, whose determinations are final.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Scholarship Program, including the exams, residency, training, and placement assistance, is a private selection and development program and not a course of study, and nothing in this section constitutes the provision of education, or the award of any qualification, within the meaning of the Education Act 1996 (Act 550) or the Private Higher Educational Institutions Act 1996 (Act 555) of Malaysia, the Private Education Act 2009 of Singapore, or any comparable law of any other jurisdiction.
The exams assess cognitive ability, personality attributes, and relevant content knowledge, and the Scholar consents to each component. The Scholar acknowledges that the exams are designed to be culture-fair, free from bias against any protected characteristic, and suitable to assess the Scholar's merit on a comparable basis with other applicants, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, freely and irrevocably waives and releases NS, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claim of discrimination, unconscious bias, or unfair selection arising from or relating to the exams, their scoring, the selection process, or any determination as to eligibility or outcome. To the extent any such waiver or release is held void or unenforceable under applicable law, the remainder of this Section continues in full force, and nothing in this Section waives any right that cannot lawfully be waived in advance. NS may proctor the exams using webcam, microphone, screen recording, and biometric techniques, and the Scholar consents to this proctoring and to the processing of the resulting data for identity verification and fraud detection, in accordance with Section 11 and applicable data-protection law.
The Scholar attests that all responses, submissions, and materials provided in connection with the exams are the Scholar's own original work. The Scholar shall not use any generative AI tool (including ChatGPT, Claude, or comparable large language models) in connection with any submission except where the exam expressly permits, and shall disclose any such use in the manner NS specifies. No third party may draft, edit, or materially review any submission on the Scholar's behalf, and the Scholar participates of the Scholar's own free will and without duress, coercion, or undue influence.
By participating, the Scholar represents and warrants that, except as disclosed in writing to NS beforehand, each of the following is true and complete: (a) the Scholar has no criminal conviction, guilty plea, or pending charge in any jurisdiction; (b) the Scholar has no financial, organizational, or political affiliation with any person or entity subject to international sanctions; (c) the Scholar has not been refused a visa, removed, deported, or denied entry by any country; (d) the Scholar does not intend, while participating, to engage in any act of violence, terrorism, espionage, or material support thereof; and (e) the Scholar is aware of no other fact that a reasonable person would consider material to NS's decision to admit the Scholar. The Scholar must keep these disclosures current.
If NS sources an employment offer that meets the Scholar's stated qualifications and reasonable preferences, the Scholar shall consider it in good faith and shall not unreasonably decline it. Placement may require relocation, and the Scholar agrees to cooperate in good faith with all visa and work-permit applications and to provide required information promptly; NS is not responsible for visa delays or rejections. During the residency phase, the Scholar shall strictly comply with all applicable local laws, regulations, and immigration requirements of the host jurisdiction. Any such non-compliance constitutes a material breach. Once placed, the Scholar must comply with all local laws and employer policies and remain reasonably flexible as to role, function, and location within the scope of skills the Scholar has demonstrated.
The Scholar is solely responsible for all costs associated with traveling to, attending, residing at, or relocating in connection with the Scholarship Program, including without limitation airfare, transportation, visas and permits, accommodation, insurance, and incidental expenses. NS does not reimburse, advance, or assume liability for any such costs under any circumstances, including where any outcome is delayed, modified, cancelled, refused, or not reached, and regardless of the reason. Any travel or relocation the Scholar undertakes is at the Scholar's own risk and discretion.
For the purposes of these terms, “Fraudulent Activity” includes any deception to obtain benefits or cause loss, such as: (a) impersonation or unauthorized third-party communication; (b) use of unauthorized aids or unpermitted AI; or (c) material misstatements; and any “Material Misstatement” means a deliberate and significant false representation of fact that was a primary inducement for NS’s admission of the Scholar.
Any Fraudulent Activity, Material Misstatement, omission, or failure to update a disclosure is grounds for termination as set out below and may be pursued by NS through any remedy available at law, in addition to and without limiting NS's other rights under these terms.
NS may terminate the Scholarship Agreement and the Scholar’s participation in the Scholarship Program at any time, without affecting the Scholar’s status under these terms generally. The Scholar may terminate the Scholarship Agreement upon five (5) days’ written notice if NS willfully violates any material covenant or duty under it. Termination of Scholarship participation does not entitle the Scholar to any refund, reimbursement, outcome, or compensation, and does not limit any other remedy available to NS at law or in equity.
An Event Host is any person or organization that organizes or holds an event at NS, and an Event Attendee is any person who registers for or attends an NS event. For the duration of the event, the Event Host, its organizing staff, and all Attendees are Visitors and are bound by the Visitor terms above, together with any additional event-specific rules and pricing presented at registration or agreed with NS. An Event Host is responsible for ensuring its organizing staff and Attendees comply with these terms, and for any fees, damages, or conduct arising from the event. Registration and hosting fees are subject to the refund and cancellation terms presented at the time of purchase or set out in the Host’s event agreement, and NS is not liable for travel, accommodation, or other costs if an event is cancelled or rescheduled.
A Member may bring family members, including a spouse or children, subject to NS’s prior approval and any applicable fees. Each adult family member is a Member and is bound by the Member terms above in their own right. The Member is responsible for their family members’ compliance and conduct, and for any fees or damages they incur. Minors under 18 may be present only under the supervision of a responsible adult, may register for or use the online Services only with their parent’s or guardian’s consent, and may use facilities such as the gym only with adult supervision and where NS permits. A parent who enrolls a child in NS Kids programs does so under the Kids Addendum.
A Team is an organization or group enrolling two or more individuals under a single account or billing relationship. The enrolling entity is responsible for all fees and represents that it is authorized to enroll each individual. Each enrolled individual is bound by these Legal Terms in their own right, as a Website User, as a Visitor when on premises, and as a Member if they hold a membership, and the enrolling entity is jointly responsible for their compliance.
NS premises and events are private. Access is granted only as a revocable license, and NS may refuse entry to, or remove, any person at its discretion. Competing media corporations, including legacy media organizations and their employees, affiliates, and contractors acting in that capacity, are not permitted on NS premises or at NS events. Independent media creators (for example, X/Twitter creators, Substack writers, YouTubers, and podcasters) may attend only with NS’s prior written consent and must act consistently with the community’s "win-and-help-win" ethos and the Visitor terms above, including obtaining consent before capturing or publishing others. NS may withdraw access for any media activity that is adversarial to, or disparaging of, the community.
As part of our Services, you may choose to: (1) create and distribute tasks via ns.com/earn (each a "Task"); and (2) receive such Tasks through our Services. When you create a Task, you are a "Requester." When you receive a Task, you are a "Submitter." The ns.com/earn platform provides Task creation tools and distribution infrastructure for Requesters, and Task lead generation and related services to Submitters.
A Requester retains the right to set the price for a completed Task upon creating the Task. Requester will remit to NS such Task completion price, including any Service Fees, upon Task creation (the "Requester Payment"). The Requester Payment is a transaction between a Requester and NS for NS's fulfillment of Task creation and distribution obligations for Requester. NS reserves the right to adjust, modify, or cancel Tasks submitted by Requester in a reasonable manner.
Requester agrees to pay NS any fees for each Service that Requester purchases (each a "Service Fee") in accordance with the pricing and payment terms presented to Requester for that Service. Fees paid by Requester are non-refundable except as expressly set forth in these Terms or when required by law. NS reserves the right to change the Service Fee at any time and will provide notice if the Service Fee is changed. Continued use of the Services after a Service Fee change constitutes Requester's acceptance and consent to such change.
The relationship between Submitter and NS under these Terms is solely that of independent contracting parties. Submitter and its subcontractors are not employees of NS, and will not be entitled to any rights or benefits provided to NS employees. Submitter has no authority to bind NS and agrees to not hold itself as an employee, agent, or authorized representative of NS. SUBMITTER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT SUBMITTER: (1) HAS FULL POWER AND AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND PERFORM OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER; (2) IS AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD; AND (3) WILL COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS IN PERFORMING TASKS UNDER THESE TERMS.
If Submitter undertakes to perform a Task via NS's Services, Submitter acknowledges and agrees that: (1) Submitter retains the sole right to determine the manner in which a Task is performed, including where and when a Task is performed; (2) Submitter will provide all devices and other materials necessary to complete the Task; and (3) NS will not direct or control Submitter's performance. Submitter may delegate or subcontract obligations but remains liable for all subcontracted obligations and acts or omissions of subcontractors. Submitter agrees not to use scripts, robots, or other automated methods to complete Tasks.
Submitter retains sole discretion on whether to perform any Tasks that NS makes available. Submitter may engage in any other occupation or business, and NS has no right to restrict Submitter from any other activity.
NS will pay Submitter via cryptocurrency the payment displayed in each Task upon full completion (the "Submitter Payment"). The Submitter Payment is a transaction between Submitter and NS for Submitter's completion of a Task received through NS's Services. Submitter acknowledges that the Submitter Payment is the only payment Submitter will receive in connection with a completed Task.
Submitter is responsible for all tax registration obligations and calculating all tax liabilities arising from Submitter's completion of Tasks. Upon NS's reasonable request, Submitter agrees to provide all relevant tax information.
Submitter agrees that any work product created during Task performance is deemed a "work made for hire" for the benefit of NS to the extent permitted by applicable law. To the extent any such rights do not vest in NS under applicable law, Submitter hereby assigns all right, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, to such work product to NS.
Subject to NS's receipt of the Requester Payment, title to any rights in the work product owned by NS will transfer to Requester. NS hereby assigns all right, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, to such work product to Requester.
