8. No Admission Guarantee

College admissions decisions are made solely by individual institutions based on a wide range of factors outside Admitly's knowledge or control. Admitly expressly disclaims any liability for admission outcomes, scholarship awards, financial aid determinations, or any other decisions made by third-party educational institutions.

You agree that you have not relied upon any representation by Admitly regarding specific admission outcomes as a basis for using the Platform or making any financial, educational, or personal decisions.

9. Intellectual Property

The Platform and all of its content — including but not limited to the Admitly name, logo (the Raven mark), design systems, software, text, graphics, scoring models, data compilations, and user interface elements — are the exclusive property of Admitly and its licensors, protected by United States and international intellectual property laws.

Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership rights to you. Unauthorized use of Admitly's intellectual property is strictly prohibited and may result in civil or criminal liability.

10. User-Generated Content

You may submit content to the Platform, including essays, notes, messages, profile information, and other materials ("User Content").

11. Third-Party Services & Links

The Platform may integrate with or contain links to third-party websites, services, or tools, including but not limited to Google (for authentication or analytics), payment processors, or college information databases. These third-party services are governed by their own terms of service and privacy policies.

Admitly does not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for any third-party services. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk. Admitly shall not be liable for any damages or losses caused by or related to your use of or reliance on any third-party content, goods, or services available through the Platform.

12. Payments, Subscriptions & Refunds

Certain features of the Platform may require payment of fees. All fees are stated in U.S. dollars and are exclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise specified.

One-Time Purchases

One-time purchases (e.g., access packages priced at $129) are non-refundable once access has been granted or the service has been consumed, except where required by applicable law.

Subscriptions

Subscription plans will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel before the renewal date. You may cancel at any time through your account settings. Refunds for unused portions of a subscription period are not provided unless required by applicable law.

Billing Errors

If you believe you have been charged in error, you must notify us within 30 days of the charge at billing@admitly.com. We will investigate and, if appropriate, issue a correction.

Admitly reserves the right to change pricing at any time. Changes to pricing will be communicated with reasonable notice and will not affect the current billing cycle for active subscribers.

13. Termination

Admitly reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the Platform at any time, with or without cause or notice, including for violations of these Terms, fraudulent activity, or any behavior that Admitly deems harmful to the Platform or other users.

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting support@admitly.com. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect, including Sections 9, 14, 15, 16, and 17.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

Admitly does not warrant that:

• The Platform will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free
• Any results obtained from the Platform will be accurate, reliable, or complete
• Any defects in the Platform will be corrected
• The Platform or its servers are free from viruses or other harmful components

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of implied warranties. In such jurisdictions, Admitly's warranties are limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

15. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall Admitly's total cumulative liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount you paid to Admitly in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based (contract, tort, negligence, warranty, or otherwise) and even if Admitly has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

16. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Admitly and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and successors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use of or inability to use the Platform
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your User Content
• Your violation of any third party's rights, including intellectual property or privacy rights
• Any misrepresentation you make in connection with the Platform

Admitly reserves the right, at your expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims.

17. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

Informal Resolution First

Before filing any formal legal claim, you agree to contact Admitly at legal@admitly.com and provide a written description of the dispute. We will attempt to resolve the dispute informally within 30 days.

Binding Arbitration

If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration, rather than in court. The arbitration shall be conducted by a recognized arbitration body (such as JAMS or AAA) under its applicable rules, with proceedings conducted in English.

Class Action Waiver

Exceptions

Either party may seek emergency injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm. Nothing in this section prevents Admitly from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights.

18. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

For any disputes not subject to arbitration, you consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Delaware, and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue.

19. Changes to These Terms

Admitly reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide notice through the Platform or via email.

Your continued use of the Platform after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Platform and may request account deletion by contacting us.
