TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Welcome! This agreement outlines the relationship between Stress Less College Apps (“the Consultant”) and the student and their parent(s)/guardian(s) (collectively, “the Client”). By engaging our services, you agree to the following terms:

The Consultant provides guidance, strategic advice, and editorial feedback on the college application process. This includes, but is not limited to, list-building, essay brainstorming, and application review.

• The "Work" Rule: The Consultant provides coaching and feedback. All written work, including essays and short answers, must be the original work of the student. The Consultant will not write essays for the student.

• Payment: Fees are due as outlined in your selected package or hourly agreement.
• Refunds: Services are billed based on time and expertise. Once a session has occurred or work has been performed, fees are non-refundable.

While the Consultant aims to maximize the student’s potential, the college admissions process is subjective and unpredictable. The Consultant does not guarantee admission to any specific institution. Admission decisions are made solely by the colleges and universities.

By signing this agreement, the Client grants the Consultant a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use written materials produced during the course of counseling (including but not limited to essays, personal statements, and supplemental responses) for future educational programming, counselor training, and marketing materials.

• Anonymization: To protect the student’s privacy, the Consultant agrees to obscure or remove all identifying markers before such use. This includes the removal of the student’s name, specific high school, hometown, and any highly specific personal details that could reasonably lead to the student’s identification.
• Purpose: These materials are used to demonstrate successful writing techniques and strategy to future applicants.

Except as provided in Section 4, the Consultant will maintain the confidentiality of the Client’s personal information and will not disclose sensitive data to third parties without prior consent, except as required by law.

Success in this process is a partnership. The Client is responsible for:

• Meeting all internal and college-imposed deadlines.
• Providing honest and accurate information on all applications.
• Responding to Consultant communications in a timely manner.

Either party may terminate this agreement at any time with written notice. In the event of termination, the Client will be responsible for payment for all services rendered up to the date of termination.

The Consultant’s liability for any claim arising out of this agreement shall be limited to the total amount of fees paid by the Client for the services provided.

Acknowledgment By proceeding with payment or attending your first session, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and Conditions.
