Terms and Conditions for Scholar's Edge Test Prep Tutoring Services

Last Updated: August 3, 2026

These Terms and Conditions govern the Scholar’s Edge website and the educational services offered by Scholar's Edge, LLC.

Please read these Terms carefully. By using the Scholar’s Edge website, submitting an inquiry, scheduling a consultation, purchasing services, signing an enrollment agreement, or participating in Scholar’s Edge services, you agree to these Terms to the extent applicable to you.

Scholar's Edge, LLC, doing business as Scholar’s Edge, provides test preparation, academic support, and college application consulting services for students in grades 7–12.

In these Terms:

• “Scholar’s Edge,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Scholar's Edge, LLC and its owners, employees, instructors, and authorized contractors.
• “Client” means the parent, legal guardian, or adult student who purchases or authorizes services.
• “Student” means the student receiving services.
• “Services Agreement” means the Parent/Student Services Agreement provided during enrollment.
• “Program Confirmation” means the enrollment form, invoice, proposal, registration confirmation, or other document identifying the particular services purchased.

Our business contact information is:

Scholar's Edge, LLC
213 Edenderry Drive
Keller, Texas 76248
Email: admin@scholarsedge.co
Phone: (682) 235-9465

The address above is the company’s business mailing address and does not necessarily identify the location of every in-person service.

Scholar’s Edge provides student services to students in grades 7–12.

A parent or legal guardian must enroll and accept financial responsibility for a Student who is under 18 years of age. By enrolling a minor Student, the Client represents that the Client has legal authority to authorize services for that Student.

A Student who is 18 or older may enter into an agreement directly with Scholar’s Edge. Scholar’s Edge will not disclose an adult Student’s confidential educational or application information to a parent or another person without the adult Student’s authorization, except as permitted or required by law.

Because some seventh-grade Students may be under 13, a parent or guardian should complete intake, enrollment, payment, and account forms on behalf of any Student under 13. A Student under 13 should not independently submit personal information through the website without parent or guardian involvement.

Before paid services begin, the Client will receive or be given access to copies of:

1. The Scholar’s Edge Privacy Policy; and
2. The Scholar’s Edge Parent/Student Services Agreement.

The Client may also receive a Program Confirmation describing the particular program, package, schedule, session count, format, price, payment arrangement, expiration date, and included deliverables.

Together, these documents form the agreement between Scholar’s Edge and the Client.

If the documents conflict:

1. The Program Confirmation controls the specific services, price, dates, session count, and program-specific deliverables.
2. The signed Parent/Student Services Agreement controls enrollment, attendance, cancellation, payment, refund, conduct, and service policies.
3. The Privacy Policy controls the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal information.
4. These Terms govern general website use and subjects not addressed by the more specific documents.

No promotional post, informal message, oral conversation, or general website description changes the scope of a purchased program unless Scholar’s Edge confirms the change in writing.

Depending on availability and the Client’s enrollment, Scholar’s Edge may provide:

• SAT preparation
• ACT preparation
• PSAT preparation
• STAAR and end-of-course foundational support
• TSI preparation
• ASVAB preparation
• Other standardized-test preparation
• One-on-one instruction
• Small-group instruction
• Diagnostic assessments
• Score-report analysis
• Personalized study planning
• Subject-specific academic support related to test readiness
• Practice tests, question banks, workbooks, or digital resources
• Test-taking, pacing, and time-management strategies
• College application consultations
• College-list and application-timeline guidance
• Personal-statement and supplemental-essay coaching
• Activities-list and résumé support
• Application workshops and bootcamps
• Other educational services expressly identified in a Program Confirmation

Services may be delivered in person, online, or through a combination of formats.

The availability, structure, instructor, meeting location, platform, included materials, number of sessions, and specific deliverables may vary by program.

Scholar’s Edge may begin with a diagnostic assessment, practice test, consultation, review of previous scores, academic-history review, or discussion of the Student’s goals.

Based on available information, Scholar’s Edge may recommend:

• A particular test or testing pathway
• A suggested preparation timeline
• One-on-one or small-group instruction
• Focus on particular sections or concepts
• A practice schedule
• Full-length practice testing
• Specific workbooks, question banks, or digital tools
• Adjustments to an existing preparation plan
• A different service or professional when the requested service is outside Scholar’s Edge’s scope

Recommendations are educational judgments based on the information reasonably available at the time. A plan may change based on diagnostic findings, attendance, completed work, new test results, changes in goals, revised test dates, or other relevant circumstances.

Scholar’s Edge does not guarantee that an initial recommendation will remain appropriate if the Client or Student provides incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated information.

The Services included in an enrollment are limited to those expressly identified in the applicable Program Confirmation.

Unless expressly included, an enrollment does not automatically include:

• Unlimited meetings or communication
• Unlimited essay or application reviews
• Additional private sessions
• Rush or same-day work
• Scholarship research
• Financial-aid form preparation
• NCAA eligibility or athletic-recruiting advice
• Special-education advocacy
• Therapeutic or clinical placement
• Immigration or visa assistance
• Legal, tax, medical, or mental-health advice
• Application work for additional colleges beyond the number purchased
• Work extending beyond the stated program end date
• Submission of applications on the Student’s behalf

Additional work must be approved by Scholar’s Edge and the Client in writing and may require additional fees.

Informal questions, text messages, or occasional assistance do not permanently expand the scope of a program.

Fees paid to Scholar’s Edge purchase educational instruction, planning, preparation, feedback, research, professional knowledge, and advisory services.

The Client is purchasing an educational process—not a guaranteed result.

Fees are not contingent on the Student achieving a particular score, receiving an admission offer, earning a scholarship, completing an application, or receiving any other outcome.

Scholar’s Edge does not guarantee:

• A specific test-score increase
• A particular SAT, ACT, PSAT, STAAR, TSI, ASVAB, or other test score
• National Merit recognition
• Admission to a college, university, program, or major
• Acceptance from a particular number or category of colleges
• A scholarship, grant, financial-aid award, or tuition discount
• Athletic recruitment or eligibility
• Placement into a particular course or academic program
• Completion of an application by a deadline when the Student does not fulfill assigned responsibilities
• Approval of testing accommodations
• Any decision made by a testing agency, school, college, application platform, scholarship organization, or other third party

Student outcomes depend on many factors outside Scholar’s Edge’s control, including the Student’s starting level, attendance, effort, preparation time, completion of assigned practice, accuracy of information provided, motivation, testing conditions, health, test-day performance, institutional policies, and decisions made by third parties.

Testimonials, historical outcomes, examples, score ranges, or descriptions of other Students’ results do not guarantee that another Student will achieve the same result.

The Client and Student agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and timely information
• Disclose relevant test dates, deadlines, scores, courses, and academic history
• Inform Scholar’s Edge of applicable accommodations or learning needs
• Attend sessions consistently and arrive prepared
• Participate respectfully and in good faith
• Complete agreed assignments and practice
• Review Scholar’s Edge communications
• Respond to requests for information within a reasonable time
• Verify deadlines and official requirements
• Maintain accurate contact and billing information
• Provide suitable technology and internet access for online sessions
• Protect account credentials and passwords
• Follow school, testing, college, scholarship, and application-platform rules
• Avoid cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, impersonation, and misrepresentation

The effectiveness of Scholar’s Edge’s services depends on the Client and Student fulfilling these responsibilities.

Scholar’s Edge is not responsible for outcomes affected by inaccurate information, missed sessions, uncompleted assignments, delayed responses, missed deadlines, failure to review communications, or decisions made contrary to guidance provided.

The Client and Student are responsible for:

• Registering for the correct test and test date
• Paying registration, change, late, or testing-center fees
• Confirming testing dates, locations, and reporting times
• Providing required identification
• Bringing permitted calculators or other equipment
• Understanding testing-day rules
• Complying with test-security requirements
• Obtaining and sharing official score reports when needed
• Monitoring communications from the testing organization
• Confirming college or scholarship score-reporting requirements

Scholar’s Edge may provide general information concerning testing procedures, but Scholar’s Edge does not control test registration, testing locations, official scoring, score cancellation, security investigations, technical failures, or decisions made by a testing organization.

The Client and Student are responsible for requesting and obtaining accommodations through College Board, ACT, a school district, or another appropriate organization.

An IEP, 504 Plan, school accommodation, medical diagnosis, or previous accommodation does not automatically establish that the same accommodation has been approved for a standardized test.

Scholar’s Edge may help a family understand general accommodation procedures but cannot approve an accommodation, guarantee approval, change an official testing record, or control the decision or timing of a testing organization.

The Client must notify Scholar’s Edge of approved accommodations that affect the Student’s preparation plan.

College application consulting is an educational and advisory service.

Scholar’s Edge may help the Student:

• Develop a balanced college list
• Understand general application timelines
• Organize application tasks
• Brainstorm essay topics
• Develop and revise personal statements
• Review supplemental essays
• Strengthen activities descriptions
• Prepare a résumé
• Organize application materials
• Develop a submission plan
• Understand general differences among application options

The Student and Client remain responsible for:

• Verifying each institution’s current requirements
• Verifying deadlines
• Providing truthful and complete information
• Confirming grades, courses, awards, activities, dates, and accomplishments
• Requesting transcripts and recommendation letters
• Monitoring email and applicant portals
• Paying testing and application fees
• Understanding Early Decision, Early Action, and other application obligations
• Reviewing every application before submission
• Submitting each application
• Confirming that submitted materials were received
• Reviewing admissions, scholarship, and financial-aid communications
• Making final college and enrollment decisions

Scholar’s Edge ordinarily will not submit an application, sign a certification, or accept application terms on the Student’s behalf.

If Scholar’s Edge assists a Student while the Student is working within an application account, the Student and Client must personally review and approve all information before final submission.

College requirements, deadlines, admission practices, testing policies, and application platforms may change without notice. Official information provided by the institution or platform controls.

The Student must remain the genuine author of all essays, application responses, résumés, activities descriptions, and other materials submitted in the Student’s name.

Scholar’s Edge may:

• Ask questions
• Help the Student brainstorm
• Suggest organization
• Identify unclear passages
• Recommend revisions
• Provide grammar and style feedback
• Help the Student better communicate the Student’s own experiences and ideas

Scholar’s Edge will not knowingly:

• Invent experiences, activities, awards, or accomplishments
• Falsify grades or academic information
• Write an application as though Scholar’s Edge were the Student
• Participate in plagiarism
• Impersonate the Student
• Assist with fraud, bribery, or material misrepresentation
• Submit work that falsely represents someone else’s authorship

Scholar’s Edge may refuse or terminate services when a Client or Student requests assistance that Scholar’s Edge reasonably believes is dishonest, misleading, unlawful, or contrary to school or application rules.

Scholar’s Edge may use professional technology, including artificial-intelligence-assisted tools, to support internal research, planning, organization, administrative work, professional communications, or feedback.

When Scholar’s Edge uses such tools:

• AI output will be treated as a draft and reviewed by a person.
• Material details such as deadlines, institutional requirements, and testing policies will be checked against appropriate official or primary sources when reasonably possible.
• AI will not replace the Student’s authorship, participation, or judgment.
• Scholar’s Edge will not knowingly place directly identifying or sensitive Student information into a public AI tool without appropriate safeguards and authorization.
• Scholar’s Edge will consider the privacy and retention terms of technology used for Client work.

The Student is responsible for complying with the AI policies of the Student’s school, colleges, scholarship providers, and application platforms.

The Student may not submit AI-generated writing as the Student’s own work when doing so would violate an applicable policy or misrepresent authorship.

The Student and Client remain responsible for the accuracy, authenticity, and integrity of all submitted materials.

All sessions must be scheduled in advance through an approved scheduling system or direct communication with Scholar’s Edge.

Scheduling is subject to instructor availability, program availability, holidays, testing calendars, and other operational considerations.

A recurring appointment reserves a particular time only for the period confirmed by Scholar’s Edge. Scholar’s Edge does not guarantee that a particular time will remain available indefinitely.

Requests to change a regular schedule are subject to availability.

Scholar’s Edge may adjust an instructor, room, online platform, or other logistical detail when reasonably necessary.

Unless a Program Confirmation states otherwise, the following policy applies to individually scheduled sessions:

• A session may be canceled or rescheduled without a fee when Scholar’s Edge receives at least 24 hours’ notice.
• A cancellation or rescheduling request received less than 24 hours before the scheduled session will incur a $40 fee.
• Missing a session without prior notice is a no-show and will be charged at 100% of the scheduled session price.
• The $40 late-cancellation fee does not convert the canceled session into an additional session or extend the expiration of a package.
• Repeated cancellations or rescheduling requests may result in loss of a recurring appointment or termination of services.

Cancellation notice must be provided through a communication method approved by Scholar’s Edge. A message is considered received when it reaches Scholar’s Edge—not when it is sent to an incorrect number, address, or platform.

Scholar’s Edge may consider exceptions for a genuine emergency at its discretion. Granting an exception once does not require Scholar’s Edge to grant a future exception.

A Student who arrives late is entitled only to the remaining portion of the scheduled session. The session will ordinarily end at the originally scheduled time so that later appointments are not disrupted.

A late arrival does not reduce the session price.

If the Student does not attend and no timely notice is provided, Scholar’s Edge may treat the session as a no-show.

If an instructor is late, Scholar’s Edge will make reasonable efforts to provide the full instructional time, extend the session when practical, or arrange an appropriate replacement or credit.

Group programs reserve a limited seat for the Student.

Test-preparation small groups are generally capped at five Students unless the specific program description or Program Confirmation states a different maximum.

A stated maximum is not a guarantee that a particular number of Students will enroll or attend.

Group placement may consider:

• Test type
• Test date
• Grade level
• Diagnostic results
• Current score
• Areas of need
• Schedule
• Program readiness
• Instructor judgment

Scholar’s Edge does not guarantee a particular group composition, instructor, or number of Students below the stated maximum.

Unless the Program Confirmation expressly states otherwise:

• A missed group session does not entitle the Student to a private makeup session.
• A missed workshop or bootcamp meeting does not result in a prorated refund.
• Group content may continue even when one Student is absent.
• Materials may be provided for missed content when practical, but equivalent individual instruction is not guaranteed.

Scholar’s Edge may require minimum enrollment for a group, workshop, or bootcamp to proceed.

If Scholar’s Edge cancels a program because minimum enrollment is not reached, the Client may be offered:

• Transfer to another available program
• An account credit
• A modified format with the Client’s agreement
• A refund of the amount paid for the canceled program

Program-specific cancellation and refund terms stated in the Program Confirmation control over general individual-session policies.

For online sessions, the Client is responsible for providing:

• A suitable computer or device
• Reliable internet service
• A functioning camera and microphone when required
• Required applications or software
• Access to assigned digital materials
• A quiet and appropriate learning environment
• Reasonable adult availability when appropriate for a minor Student

Scholar’s Edge is not responsible for interruptions caused by the Client’s equipment, internet provider, power service, account settings, or third-party platform.

If a significant technical problem prevents meaningful instruction, Scholar’s Edge will determine whether the circumstances reasonably support continuing, rescheduling, or crediting the affected portion of the session.

Short interruptions that do not materially prevent instruction ordinarily do not result in a refund or credit.

The Client is responsible for:

• Timely transportation
• Timely pickup
• Providing current emergency-contact information
• Informing Scholar’s Edge of relevant allergies or safety considerations
• Ensuring that the Student follows location and conduct rules
• Remaining reasonably available in the event of an emergency

Scholar’s Edge provides educational services and does not provide childcare, transportation, custodial supervision, medical supervision, or supervision outside the scheduled service period.

The Client must make appropriate arrangements for the Student before and after a session.

Scholar’s Edge may end or decline an in-person session when conditions are unsafe, disruptive, inappropriate, or materially interfere with instruction.

Fees and payment schedules will be stated in the applicable Program Confirmation, invoice, registration page, or Services Agreement.

Unless otherwise stated:

• Services must be paid for in advance.
• Payment is due on the date stated on the invoice or enrollment document.
• Scholar’s Edge may decline to schedule or continue services while an account is past due.
• The Client is responsible for authorized charges made under the Client’s account.
• Payment may be processed by a third-party payment provider.
• Scholar’s Edge does not directly retain complete payment-card information when it is processed through an external payment provider.

Scholar’s Edge may change prices for future purchases. A future price change will not retroactively change the price of a package already purchased, unless the Client and Scholar’s Edge agree to modify the package.

Where a payment plan is offered for a fixed-price program, the payment plan is a method of paying the program price. Withdrawal from the program does not automatically cancel remaining installments unless the Program Confirmation expressly provides otherwise or applicable law requires otherwise.

The Client should contact Scholar’s Edge promptly to attempt to resolve a billing concern before initiating a payment dispute or chargeback. Nothing in this provision waives a legal right that cannot lawfully be waived.

Prepaid packages are for future services and may not be applied retroactively to previously provided or unpaid services.

Unless a different expiration date is stated in the Program Confirmation:

• Unused sessions expire after 12 consecutive months of inactivity.
• “Inactivity” means that the Student has not completed a paid session under the package for 12 consecutive months.
• Expired sessions have no cash value.
• Expired sessions are not automatically reinstated.
• A package may not be transferred to another Student or family without written approval.
• A package may not be resold.

Programs with established start dates, end dates, test dates, application deadlines, or cohort schedules may expire at the end of the stated program period rather than under the general 12-month rule.

Except where expressly stated in a Program Confirmation or required by law:

• Completed sessions are nonrefundable.
• No-show charges are nonrefundable.
• Late-cancellation fees are nonrefundable.
• Materials already delivered are nonrefundable.
• Diagnostics already administered or scored are nonrefundable.
• Work already completed is nonrefundable.
• Scheduled sessions may be subject to the cancellation policy.
• Missed group sessions, workshops, and bootcamp meetings are nonrefundable.
• Unused sessions that have expired are nonrefundable.

If the Client is dissatisfied with the instructor assigned for an initial one-on-one session, the Client must contact Scholar’s Edge within 24 hours after that first session.

Scholar’s Edge will make reasonable efforts to offer a suitable reassignment. The completed first session remains chargeable.

If Scholar’s Edge is unable to provide a suitable replacement instructor, Scholar’s Edge will refund the unused prepaid balance for the affected one-on-one services.

If Scholar’s Edge permanently cannot provide purchased services and cannot offer a reasonable alternative accepted by the Client, Scholar’s Edge will provide an appropriate refund or credit for services not provided.

Nothing in these Terms eliminates refund or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

Scholar’s Edge may use owners, employees, or independent contractors to provide services.

All tutors assigned to work directly with minor Students must complete Scholar’s Edge’s qualification and screening process, including a criminal background check, before providing services.

Scholar’s Edge assigns instructors based on subject expertise, format, schedule, program needs, and Student fit.

Scholar’s Edge does not guarantee that a particular instructor will remain available for every session or throughout an entire program.

Scholar’s Edge may reassign an instructor because of illness, availability, scheduling, performance considerations, emergency, business needs, or other reasonable circumstances.

Requests for a different instructor are subject to availability and do not guarantee an immediate replacement or a particular instructor.

Scholar’s Edge may communicate with the Client by:

• Email
• Telephone
• Text message
• Scheduling platform
• Videoconferencing platform
• Client portal
• Another method identified during enrollment

Service communications may include:

• Appointment confirmations
• Schedule changes
• Assignments
• Practice reminders
• Test dates
• Application tasks
• Invoices
• Progress updates
• Policy notices
• Other information reasonably related to services

Scholar’s Edge will make reasonable efforts to respond to routine communications within one business day. Complex questions, document reviews, weekends, holidays, emergencies, and high-volume testing or application periods may require additional time.

The Client is responsible for monitoring the contact information provided during enrollment and notifying Scholar’s Edge when that information changes.

Sensitive records, identification documents, medical information, passwords, or account credentials should not be sent through ordinary text message or unsecured email unless Scholar’s Edge specifically directs the Client to use an approved method.

Scholar’s Edge may send written summaries after important meetings, calls, recommendations, or decisions.

A recap may identify:

• Advice provided
• Tasks assigned
• Materials needed
• Responsible parties
• Deadlines
• Scheduled meetings
• Program changes
• Next steps

The Client agrees to review these communications and promptly notify Scholar’s Edge if a recap does not accurately reflect the Client’s understanding.

Material changes to price, scope, deliverables, or program obligations must be confirmed in writing.

With parent or guardian authorization, Scholar’s Edge may communicate directly with a minor Student regarding:

• Scheduling
• Appointment reminders
• Assignments
• Practice materials
• Test dates
• Application tasks
• Deadlines
• Session follow-up
• Other educational matters reasonably related to services

The parent or guardian remains the contracting Client and may request to be copied on communications.

Authorization for direct Student communication does not constitute permission for marketing messages, media use, or sharing the Student’s information with unrelated parties.

A parent or guardian may withdraw direct-communication permission by notifying Scholar’s Edge in writing. Withdrawal may affect Scholar’s Edge’s ability to provide certain services efficiently.

Scholar’s Edge handles personal information according to the Scholar’s Edge Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Information handled by Scholar’s Edge may include:

• Student and parent contact information
• School and grade information
• Academic history
• Test scores
• Practice-test performance
• Accommodation information
• Session notes
• College lists
• Application drafts
• Scheduling information
• Billing and transaction information
• Communications related to services

Scholar’s Edge may share information with service providers reasonably necessary to operate the business and deliver services, including scheduling, payment, website, email, text, videoconferencing, cloud-storage, form, and document-management providers.

Scholar’s Edge may also disclose information:

• With the Client’s authorization
• When reasonably necessary to provide requested services
• To comply with law, legal process, or a valid government request
• To protect a Student or another person from a reasonably perceived safety threat
• To investigate fraud, abuse, or unlawful conduct
• To protect Scholar’s Edge’s legal rights
• In connection with a lawful business reorganization or transfer, subject to applicable privacy obligations

Scholar’s Edge will not represent that electronic information can be made completely immune from unauthorized access or disclosure.

Scholar’s Edge will not ordinarily contact a Student’s school counselor, teacher, testing coordinator, healthcare provider, educational evaluator, therapist, or another outside professional about the Student without appropriate authorization.

When information must be obtained from or shared with an outside person or organization, Scholar’s Edge may require a separate signed release identifying:

• The information that may be obtained or shared
• The person or organization involved
• The purpose of the disclosure
• The period during which the authorization remains effective
• The method for withdrawing authorization

Authorization may be withdrawn in writing, but withdrawal does not invalidate disclosures already made in reliance on valid authorization.

Scholar’s Edge may refuse to exchange information when authorization is incomplete, unclear, expired, or inconsistent with applicable law or professional judgment.

Scholar’s Edge may maintain:

• Enrollment agreements
• Program confirmations
• Invoices
• Payment records
• Scheduling records
• Communications
• Session notes
• Test reports
• Practice-test results
• Application drafts
• Other records reasonably related to services

Records may be retained for business, tax, insurance, dispute-resolution, and legal purposes and will be handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

Scholar’s Edge uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect information. No electronic system, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure, and Scholar’s Edge cannot guarantee absolute security.

Requests to access, correct, or delete information are subject to identity verification and may be limited by legal, contractual, operational, tax, insurance, or record-retention requirements.

Enrollment does not automatically authorize Scholar’s Edge to use an identifiable minor Student’s photograph, video, name, testimonial, voice, likeness, application material, or score report for marketing.

Media use requires separate, affirmative, optional authorization from the parent or legal guardian or from an adult Student.

Declining media permission will not affect enrollment or services.

A media release may separately address:

• Photographs
• Video
• Audio
• First name
• Testimonial or quotation
• Score improvement
• Student work
• Website use
• Social media
• Printed marketing materials

Permission may be withdrawn for future use by written notice. Withdrawal may not require Scholar’s Edge to retrieve material that was previously printed, distributed, or lawfully published before the withdrawal was received.

Scholar’s Edge retains all rights in its original:

• Curriculum
• Workbooks
• Worksheets
• Presentations
• Lesson plans
• Diagnostic tools
• Strategy guides
• Question compilations
• Videos
• Digital resources
• Templates
• Business methods
• Website content
• Branding

The Client and Student receive a limited, personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use provided materials for the enrolled Student’s educational purposes.

Materials may not be:

• Sold
• Resold
• Copied for other Students
• Posted publicly
• Distributed through social media
• Uploaded to answer-sharing websites
• Used to train or operate another tutoring business
• Commercially reproduced
• Modified and represented as another person’s work
• Shared outside the Student’s immediate household, except as authorized

The Student retains ownership of the Student’s original essays, application responses, and other original work, subject to any separate media authorization.

Official third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners.

A Client or Student may not photograph, audio-record, video-record, screen-record, transcribe, stream, or distribute a session without advance permission from Scholar’s Edge and all participants.

Scholar’s Edge will not record an identifiable Student session for instructional, administrative, or training purposes without appropriate notice and consent.

Unauthorized recording or distribution may result in immediate termination of services and may violate intellectual-property, privacy, or other laws.

Unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement, Scholar’s Edge is an independent educational-service provider and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of:

• College Board
• ACT
• Common App
• Texas Education Agency
• ASVAB testing authorities
• Any school district
• Any high school
• Any college or university
• Any scholarship provider
• Any application platform
• Any testing center

Names and trademarks belonging to third parties are used only to identify the relevant test, organization, platform, or service.

Third-party organizations and platforms have their own rules, terms, privacy practices, schedules, and technical systems.

Scholar’s Edge is not responsible for:

• Platform outages
• Test-center closures
• Registration errors made by the family
• Changes in official deadlines
• Changes in testing format
• Score delays
• Lost or incomplete institutional records
• Recommendation delays
• Portal errors
• Application-platform errors
• Decisions made by a school, college, testing organization, or scholarship provider

Official third-party information controls when it conflicts with general educational information provided by Scholar’s Edge.

Laws, institutional rules, campus policies, residency requirements, healthcare requirements, safety considerations, financial-aid practices, and other conditions may vary by institution and jurisdiction and may change without notice.

The Client and Student are responsible for investigating and determining whether they are comfortable with the laws, policies, costs, campus environment, location, and other conditions applicable to any institution or state under consideration.

Scholar’s Edge does not provide legal, tax, investment, immigration, medical, mental-health, or individualized financial advice.

Students, Clients, and instructors must maintain respectful, safe, and professional conduct.

Prohibited conduct includes:

• Harassment
• Threats
• Discrimination
• Intimidation
• Abusive language
• Deliberate disruption
• Academic dishonesty
• Material misrepresentation
• Unauthorized recording
• Unauthorized distribution of materials
• Damage to property
• Unsafe behavior
• Conduct that interferes with another Student’s learning
• Requests that Scholar’s Edge participate in unlawful or unethical activity

Scholar’s Edge may end a session immediately when conduct creates a safety concern, materially disrupts instruction, or violates these Terms.

A session ended because of Student or Client misconduct may remain fully chargeable.

The engagement ends upon the earliest of:

1. Completion of the purchased services;
2. The expiration date stated in the Program Confirmation;
3. The end of the applicable test-preparation or application period;
4. Termination by Scholar’s Edge; or
5. Termination by the Client.

Either Scholar’s Edge or the Client may terminate an ongoing engagement by written notice.

Scholar’s Edge may suspend or terminate services immediately for:

• Nonpayment
• Repeated attendance problems
• Harassment, threats, or abusive conduct
• Safety concerns
• Academic dishonesty
• Material misrepresentation
• Unauthorized use or distribution of materials
• Unauthorized recording
• Requests for unethical or unlawful assistance
• Material violation of these Terms or another enrollment document
• A relationship Scholar’s Edge reasonably determines is no longer productive or appropriate

Upon termination:

• Fees for services already performed remain due.
• Completed sessions and delivered materials remain nonrefundable.
• Late-cancellation and no-show charges remain due.
• Remaining payment obligations are determined by the applicable Program Confirmation and Services Agreement.
• Scholar’s Edge may provide any legally required refund.
• Scholar’s Edge may retain records as permitted by the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

If Scholar’s Edge terminates an engagement without Client or Student breach and cannot provide a reasonable alternative, Scholar’s Edge will generally refund the unearned portion of prepaid services within 30 days.

Scholar’s Edge will not be responsible for delays, changes, or inability to perform caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including:

• Severe weather
• Unsafe travel conditions
• Fire
• Flood
• Power outage
• Internet outage
• Illness
• Emergency
• Building closure
• Government action
• Civil disturbance
• Transportation disruption
• Testing-agency change
• School closure
• College or application-platform outage
• Labor disruption
• Natural disaster
• Public-health event
• Failure of an essential third-party provider

Scholar’s Edge will make reasonable efforts to notify affected Clients and, where appropriate, reschedule services or provide a reasonable credit, alternative, or refund for services Scholar’s Edge cannot provide.

The Scholar’s Edge website and its content are provided for personal, informational, and educational use.

Users may not:

• Attempt unauthorized access to the website or connected systems

• Use website content to create a competing product or service
• Impersonate another person
• Submit false information
• Use the website for unlawful purposes
• Violate another person’s privacy or intellectual-property rights

Scholar’s Edge may restrict or terminate access to the website when it reasonably believes a user has violated these Terms.

Scholar’s Edge makes reasonable efforts to provide helpful and accurate educational information. However:

• Website content is general information.
• Website content does not replace a signed enrollment agreement.
• Requirements, dates, scores, policies, and institutional practices may change.
• Official testing organizations and institutions remain the controlling source for their own requirements.
• Website availability is not guaranteed to be uninterrupted or error-free.
• Scholar’s Edge does not guarantee that all website content will be complete or current at all times.

The Client and Student should verify important deadlines, requirements, and decisions directly with the relevant official organization.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SCHOLAR’S EDGE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE WEBSITE OR SERVICES.

THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CLAIMED LOSS OF:

• AN ADMISSION OPPORTUNITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SCHOLAR’S EDGE’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING FROM A PARTICULAR SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT THE CLIENT PAID SCHOLAR’S EDGE FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability to the extent caused by gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or another obligation that applicable law does not permit the parties to waive.

Scholar’s Edge is not liable for decisions, delays, errors, outages, or conduct of testing organizations, schools, colleges, scholarship providers, payment processors, application platforms, internet providers, or other independent third parties.

Nothing in these Terms waives a consumer right or legal remedy that cannot lawfully be waived.

To the extent permitted by law, the Client agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Scholar’s Edge from third-party claims, losses, or reasonable expenses arising from:

• The Client’s or Student’s unlawful conduct
• Materially false information supplied by the Client or Student
• Fabrication, plagiarism, or misrepresentation by the Client or Student
• Unauthorized use or distribution of Scholar’s Edge materials
• Infringement of another person’s intellectual-property rights by the Client or Student
• A material violation of these Terms

This provision does not require the Client to indemnify Scholar’s Edge for a claim caused by Scholar’s Edge’s own gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or conduct for which indemnification cannot lawfully be required.

The parties agree to attempt to resolve concerns promptly and professionally.

Before filing a lawsuit, a party must provide written notice describing:

• The nature of the concern
• Relevant dates
• The requested resolution
• Supporting information reasonably available

The parties will make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days after the notice is received.

If the dispute is not resolved, the parties agree to attempt nonbinding mediation in Tarrant County, Texas, before proceeding with litigation, except as stated below.

The mediator will be selected by mutual agreement. Unless the parties agree otherwise:

• The parties will share the mediator’s fee equally.
• Each party will pay its own attorney fees and other expenses.
• Mediation may occur remotely if both parties agree.

Mediation is not required before:

• Filing an eligible small-claims case
• Seeking temporary or emergency relief
• Protecting confidential information
• Protecting intellectual property
• Addressing a genuine safety concern
• Taking action before a legal deadline expires

If mediation does not resolve the dispute, any legal action must be brought in a court of appropriate jurisdiction located in Tarrant County, Texas.

Each party will bear its own attorney fees unless a statute, enforceable agreement, or court order provides otherwise.

These Terms and the relationship between Scholar’s Edge and the Client are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Scholar’s Edge may update these Terms prospectively to reflect changes in:

• Services
• Technology
• Business operations
• Third-party platforms
• Law
• Safety practices
• Privacy practices

The effective or updated date at the top of the page will identify the current version.

Material changes affecting active Clients will be communicated by email or another reasonable method.

A change to website Terms will not retroactively alter the core price or defined scope of an existing paid enrollment without the Client’s agreement, except where a change is reasonably required for legal compliance, safety, or protection of personal information.

Continued website use after updated Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of website-related changes to the extent permitted by law.

Material changes to a signed Services Agreement must be accepted in writing or through an electronic record.

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the signed Parent/Student Services Agreement, and the applicable Program Confirmation constitute the complete agreement concerning the purchased services.

They replace prior discussions or representations concerning the same subject, except for a written amendment accepted by both parties.

Neither party is relying on an oral promise, guarantee, or representation that is not included in the applicable written documents.

A signed Services Agreement or Program Confirmation may be amended only through a written or electronic record accepted by Scholar’s Edge and the Client.

A text or email may document an operational scheduling change, but it does not modify a material contractual term unless it clearly states the agreed change.

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted or removed to the minimum extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

A party’s delay or failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce that provision later.

Granting an exception on one occasion does not require a similar exception in the future.

The Client may not transfer the agreement, program enrollment, package, or unused sessions to another person without written approval from Scholar’s Edge.

Scholar’s Edge may assign its rights and obligations to a lawful successor in connection with a merger, sale, restruc
