IF YOU ARE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES ON BEHALF OF AN ORGANIZATION, COMPANY, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION, OR OTHER ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ENTITY TO THESE TERMS, AND THE TERMS "YOU" AND "YOUR" SHALL REFER TO SUCH ENTITY.

These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your information.

2. Educational Content Disclaimer

ALL CONTENT, MATERIALS, ASSESSMENTS, DIAGNOSTICS, SCORE PREDICTIONS, STUDY PLANS, RECOMMENDATIONS, PRACTICE QUESTIONS, EXPLANATIONS, AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES (COLLECTIVELY, "CONTENT") ARE PROVIDED SOLELY FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. THE CONTENT IS NOT AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS PROFESSIONAL ACADEMIC ADVICE, TUTORING GUARANTEES, SCORE GUARANTEES, COLLEGE ADMISSIONS COUNSELING, CAREER COUNSELING, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.

QLM IS NOT A LICENSED EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION, ACCREDITED TUTORING SERVICE, OR PROFESSIONAL ACADEMIC ADVISORY ORGANIZATION. EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES DEPEND ON NUMEROUS FACTORS ENTIRELY BEYOND QLM'S CONTROL, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIVIDUAL EFFORT, APTITUDE, PRIOR KNOWLEDGE, TEST-DAY CONDITIONS, AND EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

QLM MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO GUARANTEE OF SCORE IMPROVEMENT, TEST PERFORMANCE, COLLEGE ADMISSIONS RESULTS, SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS, OR ANY OTHER ACADEMIC OUTCOME WHATSOEVER. ALL SCORE PREDICTIONS PROVIDED BY THE SERVICES ARE ESTIMATES ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON AS INDICATORS OF ACTUAL TEST PERFORMANCE.

3. User Accounts

To access certain features of the Services, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to maintain and update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

Age Requirements (COPPA Compliance)

In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506), the following age-based restrictions apply:

  • Under 13: Children under 13 cannot create accounts directly. A parent or legal guardian must create and manage the account using the Parent/Guardian role. All use by children under 13 must be under direct parental supervision.
  • Ages 13–17: Students ages 13–17 may create accounts but must obtain verifiable parental consent before accessing learning features, AI-powered tools, practice sessions, or any interactive functionality. Accounts remain in a restricted state until consent is verified.
  • 18 and older: Full access to all features upon account creation and acceptance of these Terms.

Parental Consent Process

For minor students (under 18), parental consent is mandatory before the student may access learning features, AI tutoring, practice sessions, or any interactive functionality. The consent process is as follows:

  • A verification email is sent to the parent or legal guardian's email address provided during registration.
  • The parent or guardian must verify their email address and review the consent form detailing all data collection, processing, and sharing practices.
  • Consent may be revoked at any time by the parent or guardian. Revocation of consent results in immediate suspension of the student's account and deletion of the student's personal data and activity data within thirty (30) days.

Parental consent specifically covers: (a) collection and processing of educational performance data, (b) use of AI systems (including Anthropic Claude) for personalized explanations, tutoring, and personalized learning, (c) sharing of anonymized and de-identified learning data with AI providers for the purpose of generating educational content, and (d) generation and delivery of progress reports to parents and guardians.

4. Subscription and Billing

Certain features of the Services require a paid subscription. By subscribing to a paid plan, you agree to the following:

  • Recurring Billing: Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, as selected). You authorize QLM and its payment processors to charge your designated payment method automatically at the beginning of each billing cycle.
  • Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time. Upon cancellation, you will retain access to paid features until the end of your current billing period. No prorated refunds will be issued for partial billing periods.
  • Refunds: Refunds are available within fourteen (14) days of your initial purchase. After the 14-day period, all charges are non-refundable.
  • Price Changes: QLM reserves the right to modify subscription pricing. You will receive at least thirty (30) days' advance notice of any price changes. Continued use of the Services after a price change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ALL CONTENT, FEATURES, FUNCTIONALITY, AND MATERIALS, ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, QLM EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: (A) IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT; (B) WARRANTIES REGARDING THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, TIMELINESS, OR AVAILABILITY OF ANY CONTENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PRACTICE QUESTIONS, DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENTS, SCORE PREDICTIONS, STUDY PLANS, AND AI-GENERATED CONTENT; (C) WARRANTIES THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS; (D) WARRANTIES THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; (E) WARRANTIES REGARDING THE ACCURACY OF ANY RESULTS OBTAINED THROUGH USE OF THE SERVICES; AND (F) WARRANTIES THAT ANY ERRORS IN THE SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED.

9. No Guarantee of Score Improvement

QLM expressly disclaims any and all guarantees, representations, or warranties regarding test score improvement on the SAT, ACT, AP exams, or any other standardized test or examination. QLM makes no guarantee of grade improvement, college admissions, scholarship awards, or any academic outcome.

Any past performance data, testimonials, statistics, case studies, or success stories displayed on or through the Services do not guarantee or predict future results. Individual results vary significantly based on factors entirely outside QLM's control.

QLM shall have no liability whatsoever for any test scores, admissions decisions, scholarship outcomes, or academic results obtained or not obtained by users of the Services.

11. AI-Powered Features and Data Processing

The Services use artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to provide personalized learning experiences. By using AI-powered features, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

  • AI Processing: Learning context (including skill mastery levels, estimated scores, and recent performance data) may be sent to third-party AI providers, including Anthropic's Claude API, to generate personalized explanations, tutoring responses, and educational guidance. All data transmitted to AI providers is anonymized and de-identified — your name, email address, and personally identifiable information are never shared with AI providers.
  • Personalized Learning: Skill mastery calculations run on QLM's servers and are not shared with external AI providers.
  • AI Features for Minors: AI-powered features are available to minor students only after verifiable parental consent has been granted. The consent form explicitly describes AI data processing practices. Parents may opt out of AI features at any time by contacting legal@satmastery.app.

AI Limitations

AI-generated explanations, hints, tutoring responses, study plans, and recommendations are provided for educational assistance only and should not be considered a substitute for professional instruction, tutoring, or academic counseling. AI outputs may contain errors, inaccuracies, hallucinations, or biased content. QLM does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any AI-generated content.

You are solely responsible for evaluating and verifying the accuracy of any AI-generated output before relying on it. QLM shall not be liable for any errors, hallucinations, incorrect assessments, or misleading recommendations produced by AI-powered features.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, or your relationship with QLM (collectively, "Disputes") shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights or to prevent irreparable harm.

16. Class Action Waiver

ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND QLM SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY.

THE ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OF MULTIPLE PARTIES OR TO PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE BY ANY COURT OR ARBITRATOR OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SET FORTH IN SECTION 15 SHALL BE VOID AND OF NO EFFECT.

17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provisions in Section 15.

QLM shall not be liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services.

19. Modification of Terms

QLM reserves the right to modify, amend, or update these Terms at any time, in its sole discretion, with or without notice to you. Modifications shall be effective immediately upon posting of the revised Terms on the Services. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to the modified Terms.

It is your sole responsibility to review these Terms periodically for changes. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must immediately cease all use of the Services.

20. Release of Claims

YOU HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE THE QLM PARTIES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION, LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED OR UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO: (A) YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICES; (B) ANY CONTENT PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES; (C) ANY DECISIONS YOU MAKE BASED ON THE SERVICES OR ANY CONTENT; OR (D) ANY ACADEMIC, PROFESSIONAL, FINANCIAL, OR PERSONAL OUTCOMES RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

22. Waiver of Jury Trial

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND QLM EACH IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE SERVICES, OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

23. No Fiduciary Relationship

Nothing in these Terms or your use of the Services shall be construed as creating any fiduciary relationship, advisory relationship, agency, partnership, joint venture, employment relationship, or relationship of trust between you and QLM. QLM owes no fiduciary duty, duty of care, or any other duty to you beyond those expressly set forth in these Terms.

QLM is NOT a tutor, academic advisor, college admissions counselor, educational institution, or professional advisory service. No interaction with the Services, including AI-powered features, creates any such relationship.

25. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving the original intent of QLM to the greatest extent possible.

26. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies or agreements incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and QLM with respect to the Services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Services.

No waiver by QLM of any provision of these Terms shall be deemed a continuing waiver or a waiver of any other provision. QLM's failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

27. Force Majeure

QLM shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under these Terms to the extent that such failure or delay results from causes beyond QLM's reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, fires, epidemics, pandemics, war, terrorism, military action, government actions or orders, labor disputes, strikes, power failures, internet or telecommunications failures, cyberattacks, denial-of-service attacks, failures of third-party service providers, or changes in applicable law or regulation. QLM's obligations shall be suspended for the duration of any such force majeure event, and QLM shall have no liability arising from or related to such event.

28. Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or delegate your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of QLM. QLM may freely assign, transfer, or delegate its rights and obligations under these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or by operation of law. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section shall be void.
