Terms & Conditions
Last updated: 2026-06-22
This is a plain-language draft, not formal legal advice. We're a small student team and will refine this copy over time.
1. What NextDen is
NextDen is a free, student-built tool that helps members of the Northeastern University community discover housing and contact each other directly. It is a discovery and connection layer only — not a marketplace. We do not process payments, host messaging, or handle leases. We make no money from students, and we don't plan to.
NextDen is an independent, student-built project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Northeastern University.
2. Who can use it
NextDen is for people with a verified @northeastern.edu email address. Posting a listing or a roommate profile requires a verified account. Don't share your account or use someone else's.
3. Your content and contact info
When you post a listing or roommate profile, you confirm the information is accurate and that you have the right to share it. The contact method you provide is shown to other verified Northeastern users when they choose to reveal it (click-to-reveal). By posting, you consent to that. You can remove your listing or profile, or delete your account, at any time from your account page.
4. Discovery only — we are not a party to your dealings
This is important. NextDen does not verify listings, residents, brokers, identities, prices, or availability, and is not a party to any rental, lease, deposit, payment, or other transaction between users or with a broker. We don't inspect properties or vet the people you meet through the platform.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, NextDen and its student creators are not responsible for any loss, fraud, scam, dispute, injury, or damages arising from listings, contacts, communications, or transactions you find or make through the service. The service is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind.
Protect yourself: verify who you're dealing with, never send a deposit or payment before viewing a place in person, and be cautious with anyone who pressures you to pay quickly. If something looks like a scam, use the “Report” option on the listing.
5. Fair housing
Housing discrimination is prohibited. Do not post content that expresses a preference, limitation, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, disability, or any other protected class. We don't collect or filter by gender or any protected characteristic.
6. Acceptable use
Don't post false, misleading, or unlawful content; don't scrape, spam, or attempt to access data that isn't yours; and don't misuse other users' contact information. We may remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules.
7. Changes and account deletion
We may update these Terms. When we make a material change we'll ask you to accept the new version before continuing. You can delete your account and your data at any time from your account page.
