Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Stratia Admissions website and services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Stratia Admissions ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). You accept them through an explicit confirmation screen at first use of the Service. We may update these Terms from time to time; when we make material changes you will be asked to confirm your agreement again, and the "Last updated" date above will change.

2. Description of Service

Stratia Admissions provides software-based college counseling tools, including but not limited to:

• University "fit analysis" comparing your academic profile to university admission data
• Personalized recommendations and essay assistance
• University profile exploration and comparison tools
• Student profile building and management

The Service is intended for informational and planning purposes. It is not legal advice or financial aid consultation; consult qualified professionals for those services.

4. Guidance and Accuracy

Stratia's guidance is built from each university's own published information, and numbers link to their sources so you can check them yourself. When you use the Service, you agree that:

• Guidance, Not Guarantees: our recommendations help you plan. Admission decisions are made by universities alone, and no outcome is guaranteed.
• Verify the Essentials: information may be incomplete or outdated. Confirm deadlines, requirements, and policies with each university's official pages before acting on them.
• Automated Responses: counselor-chat replies and other generated content are produced by software without real-time human review, and we do not guarantee their accuracy.
• Not Legal or Financial Advice: the Service does not provide legal, financial, tax, or immigration advice.

5. User Accounts and Eligibility

To access certain features, you must create an account using Google Authentication. By creating an account, you represent that:

• You are at least 13 years of age — you confirm this on the agreement screen at first use, and anyone indicating they are younger is signed out. Users under 18 should have parental or guardian consent.
• All information you provide is accurate, current, and complete.
• You will maintain the security of your account credentials.
• You will not share your account with others or create multiple accounts.
• You are responsible for all activity under your account.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or for any other reason at our sole discretion. You may terminate your own account at any time: Settings → Privacy & data → Delete my account permanently removes your data and your sign-in, as described in the Privacy Policy.

6. Subscription Plans and Pricing

We offer the following subscription plans:

Prices are in US Dollars and are subject to change with notice. All payments are processed securely through Stripe.

7. Billing, Renewal, and Cancellation

Automatic Renewal

Both Monthly and Season Pass (Annual) subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date. The renewal charge will be the same as your current subscription rate unless we notify you of a price change in advance.

How to Cancel

You may cancel your subscription at any time through the Pricing page in your account. Upon cancellation:

• Your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing period.
• You will retain access to subscriber features (including unused credits) until the period ends.
• Your subscription will not renew, and no further charges will be made.
• After the period ends, your account will revert to the Free tier.

Refund Policy

All subscription fees and credit purchases are non-refundable except as required by applicable law. We do not provide prorated refunds for cancellations made before the end of a billing period. If you believe you were charged in error, please contact us within 7 days of the charge.

Failed Payments

If a payment fails, we may attempt to charge your payment method again. If the payment continues to fail, your subscription may be suspended or canceled. We are not responsible for any loss of access due to failed payments.

8. User Content and Data

You retain ownership of all content you submit to the Service, including your student profile, essays, and academic information ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to use, store, and process your content solely to provide the Service. You can download a copy of your User Content, or delete it by deleting your account, at any time in Settings.

You are solely responsible for the accuracy and legality of your User Content. You agree not to submit content that is false, misleading, defamatory, or that infringes on any third party's rights.

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms

You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of any part of the Service without our prior written consent.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Stratia Admissions and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

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

15. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice on our website at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
