I know this is a lot to take in, but here's the bottom line: College Driven's programs will support and guide you, but the student must be an active participant in the process. The student will be given all the tools to make the journey successful. Keep in mind, however, that success will ultimately be the student's responsibility. If you understand this, then you understand the contract. We attempt to make every communication, every meeting, and every webinar fun and engaging, with clear purpose, agendas, and tasks. With everything we do, we act in good faith, we know it's about earning your trust and confidence in how we approach college admissions, and we want you to be the beneficiary of our two decades of experience, success, and partnership with so many families that are grateful for our services, and in turn, how grateful we are to have been part of that success and journey. Now, for your reading pleasure...
IMPORTANT: READ CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE PROGRAM(S), YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT:
● YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT,
● YOU UNDERSTAND IT, AND
● THAT YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS.
GENERALITIES:
It is understood by all parties that College Driven, LLC cannot guarantee admission to any specific school, given the unpredictable nature of the college admission process and selectivity of many colleges and universities. Although guided and supported through programming, you will take responsibility for your own success. College Driven, LLC cannot accept responsibility for any missed deadlines. All written work towards a college application is the responsibility of the client and must be original. Care and diligence have been taken in preparing the data offered by College Driven, LLC, but College Driven, LLC cannot guarantee its accuracy. The content of the College Driven Program is intended for personal and private use. All College Driven Program access to information, Masterclasses, Slack Community, worksheets, workbooks, and LIVE Q & A sessions, including ALL recordings, are strictly for one (1) student, and two (2) adult guardians of said student. All information obtained from the client is strictly confidential and will not be shared outside the College Driven, LLC organization. Scrutiny and discretion will be adhered to by College Driven, LLC; however, College Driven, LLC cannot be held responsible for the client’s own actions regarding the level of privacy and discretion. Slack group members are responsible for removing personal identifiable information or incriminating details about themselves or their child/ward that they do not want shared with the group. Upon request, College Driven will remove all posts made by the member submitting the request. Otherwise, all posts by a member on the Slack discussion board will remain until the board closes unless deleted by the original poster. Each client will receive a copyrighted Workbook. The content in the Workbook is intended for the personal and private use of the College Driven client. Sharing of the workbook content in any form may result in termination of contract between client and College Driven, LLC. College Driven, LLC provides information that links clients to third-party websites that may be valuable to them. Links to websites controlled by parties other than College Driven, LLC maintain that College Driven, LLC is not responsible for, and does not endorse or accept any responsibility for, the availability, contents, products, services, or use of these sites or any Website accessed from a third-party site. College Driven abides by a strict, no refund policy. By accepting the terms of this Agreement, you agree and understand that you are foregoing the right to claim any refund of fees paid for access and use of the Program(s) offered by College Driven. You further acknowledge that in accepting the terms of this Agreement and affirmatively seeking the benefits of and membership in such Program(s), you are taking full responsibility for your own success. Thus, you agree not to request a refund.
RIDERS AND A LA CARTE:
Additional fees are required beyond initial program costs to support and guide on the following available riders: student-athlete, ROTC candidate, Artist portfolio or audition preparation, Summer Program opportunities, Passion Project development, Study Abroad, Final Once-Over, Plan B Recovery, Transfer applicant, Graduate Student applicant, Knowledge Is Power 1:1 meeting request. Payment will be requested via an invoice sent to the client's email address after first discussing the need and pricing for a rider. Once payment is made for the additional program, work may commence in the area purchased and the scope discussed. Additionally, those programs where five (5) "unique" colleges are the limiting factor to submitting college applications, understand that the student is not limited to five (5) application submissions. The term "unique" refers to each college that requires additional supplemental essays for the application. Therefore, all the colleges where the Common Application and Personal Essay are the ONLY requirements are deemed as one (1) "unique" college, regardless of how many applications are actually submitted. Another application that requires an additional essay for submission will be deemed another "unique" college application, and so on and so forth, until five (5) "unique" applications are submitted in total, as under the You Drive Program Plan. As essays progress, an essay library begins to develop. If enough is written, the student may very well utilize the essay library for their remaining applications. If the client requires College Driven's assistance in this area, the client will be invoiced an à la carte additional fee of $1,200, which should cover any remaining applications up to and including 3 additional college and/or university institutions. Additional payment purchases for additional colleges are available, if necessary. Although the topic of supplemental essays will be discussed and guided, the actual drafting of such prompts is not included in the other two senior programs. This same opportunity is available to clients of the Fast Lane to the Finish Line Program and Application/Essay Bootcamp Program, if deemed necessary by the client. The interested party will receive an invoice for payment, and once it is completed, work will commence on supplemental essay drafts, with the student to convey the best approach and direction. Deadlines, however, are not the responsibility of College Driven, so the client will decide the urgency of payment.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER CLUB MEMBERSHIP, AND ALL COLLEGE DRIVEN PROGRAMS, WHERE APPLICABLE:
Memberships, which provide you with access to College Driven’s Knowledge Is Power Club, are billed on either an annual basis or a monthly basis, as specified at the time of purchase where you will be asked to create an account to manage your payment activity. Your subscription will continue unless and until you cancel your membership or the account or the Service is otherwise suspended or discontinued pursuant to this Agreement. If membership is cancelled or terminated before the end of the applicable billing cycle, College Driven will not reimburse the Member for any remaining balance for that paid month or year. Monthly Members may cancel their membership at any time. The Monthly Membership must be cancelled prior to the renewal date to avoid additional membership charges for the following month. You further agree that the credit card provided at the time of sign-up will be charged each month automatically for the monthly membership. If payment is past due for any reason or the credit card fails to process, members will receive a notification. If payment is not received after 14 days of delinquency, members will be removed from the Knowledge Is Power Club immediately.
Opportunity will be offered to any Knowledge Is Power Club member who desires a one-on-one meeting with College Driven. The first two (2) sessions will be free of charge and will be considered part of the Membership benefits for each year purchased. Thereafter, if a one-on-one session is desired, the booking may be requested on the Program Offerings page of the website. Once requested and time is selected, the request must first be approved, then if so, an invoice will be sent for the appropriate amount of time purchased. Once paid, the meeting is solidly a "go." Scheduled meetings are not solidified until payment is received.
Every month, a calendar is shared with Knowledge Is Club members. This calendar is self-created and, thereby, elements may be inaccurate. Care is taken to avoid such inaccuracies, but College Driven is not held liable for any misinformation.
