TERMS OF SERVICE

Effective Date: October 5th, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and My College Activities, LLC (the “Company”) governing your use of the Company’s platform and services (the “Service”) available at mycollegeactivities.com. By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our privacy policy available at <mycollegeactivities.com/privacy> (the “Privacy Policy”), which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a school or organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on its behalf, and separate terms in a signed school agreement will control where they conflict with these Terms.

  1. WHO MAY USE THE SERVICE
    1. 1.1.Minors. The Service is intended for secondary school students planning for college and for the schools and counselors who support them. You must be at least 14 years old to create or use an account. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 18, you may use the Service only with the involvement and permission of a parent, guardian, or your school, and you confirm that you have such permission for use of this Service. This confirmation is a condition of account creation and access to the Service. If a parent or guardian believes their child has created an account without their permission, they may contact us at <info@mycollegeactivities.com> to request deletion of the account and associated data.
    2. 1.2.Institutional Users. When a school provides the Service to its students or staff, eligibility and access are determined by the school and the school’s agreement with us. If you are an institutional user, you are still bound by these Terms as a condition of using or accessing our Service.
  2. ACCOUNTS

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, for keeping your login credentials (email and password) secure, and for all activity that occurs under your account or pursuant to your credentials. Notify us promptly at <info@mycollegeactivities.com> if you suspect unauthorized use. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it updated.

  1. SUBSCRIPTIONS, BILLING, AND CANCELLATION 
    1. 3.1.Paid Access. Access to the Service requires a paid subscription. If you are accessing the Service pursuant to an institutional subscription from your school, Company shall look to such institution for payment obligations.
    2. 3.2.Billing. Subscriptions are billed on an annual basis, per user, unless the parties have agreed otherwise in writing. You authorize us and our payment processor to charge your payment method annually on a recurring basis until you cancel. 
    3. 3.3.Automatic Renewal and Consent. Subscriptions automatically renew for the same annual term at the then-current price unless you cancel before the renewal date. Before charging you, we will clearly disclose the price, billing interval, and auto-renewal term, and you must affirmatively consent by an unchecked checkbox or equivalent affirmative action at checkout. After purchase, we will send a confirmation email restating the price, billing interval, and how to cancel.
    4. 3.4.Cancellation. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at <info@mycollegeactivities.com>. Cancellation stops the next renewal charge; unless stated otherwise, access to the Service continues through the end of the then-current paid annual period.

  3. AUTHENTICITY AND AI
    1. 5.1.Student Responsibility. The Service is designed to help students organize and present their own real accomplishments, not to fabricate them. You are responsible for the truthfulness of all information you enter and submit. Do not submit false or misleading information about your record or activities.

AI outputs are probabilistic, may contain errors or contextually inappropriate suggestions, and are not a substitute for individual or professional judgment.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain liability limitations; those limitations may not apply to you. 

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION REFLECT A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK AND ARE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. COMPANY WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS.

  1. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your misuse of the Service or violation of these Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law. 

  1. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES
    1. 13.1.Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
    2. 13.2.Informal Resolution. Before initiating any formal proceeding, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting <info@mycollegeactivities.com> and allowing thirty (30) days to resolve the matter. 
    3. 13.3.Binding Arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, including the formation, interpretation, breach, or termination thereof, will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted in Fulton County, Georgia, or, at the election of either party, remotely or by written submission. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
    4. 13.4.Class Action Waiver. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS, OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING. IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS FOUND UNENFORCEABLE AS TO ANY CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF, THEN THAT CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF WILL BE SEVERED FROM THE ARBITRATION AND PROCEEDED WITH IN COURT, AND ALL REMAINING CLAIMS WILL REMAIN IN ARBITRATION. If this arbitration provision is found to be unenforceable, all disputes will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, and you and the Company each consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
    5. 13.5.Arbitration Fees. Filing fees and arbitrator compensation will be allocated in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. We will pay any filing fees and costs required to be paid by us under the AAA rules. Each party is responsible for its own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitrator awards fees under applicable law.
    6. 13.6.Opt-Out Right. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF BINDING ARBITRATION AND THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTIONS 13.3 AND 13.4. To opt out, you must send written notice of your decision to opt out to <info@mycollegeactivities.com> with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” within thirty (30) days of the date you first agree to these Terms. Your notice must include your full name, the email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration or the class action waiver. If you opt out, all disputes will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, and you and the Company each consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other provision of these Terms, and will not affect your ability to use the Service. If you do not opt out within the thirty (30) day period, you will be deemed to have accepted binding arbitration and the class action waiver.
    7. 13.7.Exceptions to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes within that court’s jurisdiction. Either party may also seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights or confidential information, without waiving the right to arbitrate all other claims.
  2. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the updated Terms with a new effective date and, where required, provide additional notice (such as by email or an in-app notification). Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

  1. TERMINATION

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, to protect the Service or its users, or if we discontinue the Service. On termination, your license under to use the Service end immediately. Data handling upon termination is described in our Privacy Policy and, for school users, in the applicable school agreement.

  1. GENERAL

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, such provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and the remainder of the Terms continues in full force. A party’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of its right to enforce that provision in the future. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of the Company.
