Terms of Service

By creating an account or using any part of the Service, you confirm that you are at least 13 years old, have read and understood these Terms, and agree to be legally bound by them. If you are under 18, you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes via email or an in-app notification. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

CollegePilot is an AI-powered college application platform that provides:

• Personalized college list recommendations based on your academic profile.

• Extracurricular activity tracking and presentation guidance.
• An AI chat advisor that provides contextual, personalized guidance throughout your application process.
• A searchable college database with admissions statistics and deadlines.

The Service is intended as a supplementary resource to help students organize and improve their college applications. It does not guarantee admission to any institution.

You must create an account to access most features of the Service. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your account credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at support@collegepilot.app if you suspect unauthorized access.

You may not share your account credentials, create accounts on behalf of others without authorization, or maintain more than one account per person.

Access to premium features requires a paid subscription. We currently offer:

• Monthly Plan: $10.00 per month, billed monthly.
• Annual Plan: $96.00 per year ($8.00/month equivalent), billed annually.

All prices are in US dollars and are exclusive of any applicable taxes. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before the renewal date. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings.

Payments are processed securely by Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis. If a payment fails, we may suspend access to premium features until the outstanding balance is resolved.

Refunds: We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee for new subscribers. If you are not satisfied within 7 days of your first payment, contact us at support@collegepilot.app for a full refund. After 7 days, subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by law.

Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction located in San Francisco County, California to prevent irreparable harm.
