Academic Tier Qualification

This page contains the Nested Knowledge policy regarding whether a user qualifies for Academic Tier pricing ($19.95/mo/user), or whether an Organization qualifies for having all users qualify for Academic Tier pricing.

To qualify for Academic Tier, a user must be one of the following Qualifications:

1. A current, active student in a Bachelor's, Masters, MD/DO, or Doctorate program;
2. A current, active graduate or post-doctoral researcher at a university, college, or other educational institution; or
3. A current, active faculty member at a university, college, or other educational institution.

To qualify for Organization-wide Academic Tier pricing, the Organization in question must grant licensed seats only to users who qualify as Academic Tier.

Academic Tier users have access to the same functionality as the standard Business Tier. However, the only support offered as part of the Academic Tier is technical assistance; research support or training may be provided at the sole discretion of Nested Knowledge, but is otherwise unavailable to Academic Tier users.

Use of the Nested Knowledge software by Academic Tier users and Organizations is restricted to Academic Purposes, defined as:

• Non-commercial use, meaning use wherein a fee is not charged and the purpose is not the sale of a good or service, and the use or activity is not intended to produce a profit; and
• Educational use, meaning use for the purpose of education, teaching, distance learning, private study and/or personal research, or Research use, meaning use for the purpose of publishing, presenting, or collating scientific evidence.

If you work for a non-profit and have questions about tax exempt status or would like to request that your team be marked as a non-profit for tax reasons, please reach out to support@nested-knowledge.com
