Terms of Use

1. Who we are

nextED is an app for IELTS Academic preparation and study abroad, made by nextED, a company based in Bangladesh. When these terms say "we" or "us", they mean nextED.

2. Not the official IELTS test

IELTS is a registered trademark of the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge University Press & Assessment. nextED is independent: we are not affiliated with, endorsed by or approved by any of them.

Our practice and mock tests are written by us to match the format of the real exam. The bands we give are estimates to guide your study - they are not official results and cannot be used for visa, university or job applications.

3. Your account

You sign up with a Bangladeshi mobile number and a password. Keep your password private: you are responsible for what happens on your account.

Give us accurate details and keep to one account per person. An account can be used on up to 2 devices and is signed in on one screen at a time; signing in somewhere new signs you out of the other screen.

If you are under 18, please use the app with a parent's or guardian's permission.

4. Using the app fairly

You may use the app for your own IELTS preparation and study-abroad plans. Please don't:

5. AI scoring and feedback

Your essays and speaking recordings are scored by artificial intelligence (AI). AI can make mistakes, so treat its bands and comments as helpful guidance, not a guarantee of your exam result.

If our AI can't be reached, some practice is scored by a simpler built-in scorer; the app tells you when this happens.

6. Study abroad

The AI counsellor, course matching and scholarship checks work from your study-abroad profile and the information we hold about universities, courses and scholarships. Their answers are guidance to help you choose, not advice you must follow.

Universities, scholarship providers and visa offices make their own decisions, and fees, deadlines and entry rules can change. We cannot guarantee an offer, a scholarship or a visa, so always check the details with the institution before you apply or pay.

Documents you upload must be genuine and your own. Your nextED counsellor sees your profile and documents so they can guide you, and when you ask us to apply for you we send the details and documents that application needs to the university or scholarship provider.

7. Your content

The essays, answers, recordings and documents you add stay yours. You give us permission to store and process them to score your practice, show you feedback, keep your progress history and help with your study-abroad plans.

You also allow us to keep your practice answers and speaking recordings, with your name, number and anything else that identifies you removed, to improve our IELTS scoring - including after you delete your account. The Privacy Policy explains this.

8. Plans and payment

Some features need Pro. Pro is sold as a pass for a set number of days, and the price and what Pro includes are shown before you pay. We will never charge you without your clear confirmation.

In the app, passes are bought through Google Play and charged once; they do not renew by themselves. On our website, passes are paid with bKash; if you turn on automatic renewal we remind you before each charge, and you can turn it off at any time.

Refunds for Google Play purchases follow Google Play's refund rules and are requested through Google Play. For website payments, contact support@nexted.app and we will handle your request fairly and as the law requires. Deleting your account ends any pass you have, without a refund.

9. Closing your account

You can stop using the app at any time and delete your account in the app (Profile › Delete account) or at https://mobile-api.nexted.app/delete-account. The Privacy Policy explains what is kept afterwards.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, after warning you where we reasonably can.

10. Our responsibility

We work hard to keep the app accurate and available, but we provide it "as is". We are not responsible for your official exam result, for decisions made by universities, scholarship providers or visa offices, or for losses caused by events outside our reasonable control. Nothing in these terms removes rights you have under the laws of Bangladesh.

11. Changes and contact

If we change these terms we will update the date above and tell you in the app about important changes. These terms are governed by the laws of Bangladesh.
