Threshold Prep · thethresholdprep@gmail.com
These terms explain the deal between you and Threshold Prep — what the service is, how subscriptions and refunds work, and what we each agree to. We've written them plainly so you can actually read them.
1. Acceptance of Terms
- By creating an account and purchasing a subscription, you agree to these terms.
- If you are under 18, you confirm that you have permission from a parent or guardian to enter into this agreement.
2. The Service
- Threshold Prep is an AI-assisted college application guidance platform.
- It is not a licensed educational institution or an accredited counseling service.
- AI guidance is for informational and organizational purposes only — the final decisions are always yours.
- We do not guarantee admission to any college or university.
3. Subscriptions and Payment
- All plans are one-time payments that grant 1 year of access from the purchase date.
- Essentials — $99.99: College List Builder + Essay Workshop.
- Complete — $149.99: all modules + AI Counselor Chat (50 sessions per month).
- Premium — $199.99: all modules + unlimited AI sessions + priority responses + Custom Timeline.
- Payments are processed securely by Stripe.
- All prices are in U.S. dollars (USD).
4. Refund Policy
- All sales are final, with one exception below.
- Refund requests submitted within 7 days of purchase, where you've accessed no more than one module, will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
- To request a refund, email thethresholdprep@gmail.com with your account email and the reason for your request.
- We reserve the right to approve or deny refund requests at our sole discretion.
5. Acceptable Use
- You may not share your account with others.
- You may not use Threshold Prep to submit work that misrepresents your own voice or ideas.
- You may not attempt to reverse engineer, scrape, or reproduce the platform.
- You may not use the AI Counselor to generate essay content — it is a strategic advisor only.
- Violating these terms may result in account termination without a refund.
6. Honesty and Academic Integrity
- Threshold Prep is built on a simple principle: your application should represent you authentically.
- The platform provides structural feedback and strategic guidance only — it never writes, rewrites, or suggests phrasing for your essays or activities.
- By using the Essay Workshop, you agree to the honesty pledge presented within that module.
- We encourage you to review the academic integrity policies of the schools you apply to.
7. Intellectual Property
- All platform content, design, and code is owned by Threshold Prep.
- Student-generated content (essays, activities, college lists) remains your own property.
- We do not claim ownership over anything you write.
8. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
- Threshold Prep is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind.
- We are not liable for college admission outcomes.
- We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the platform.
- Our total liability to any user will not exceed the amount that user paid for their subscription.
9. Termination
