5. Relationship of Parties
No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency exists between You and CollegePlannerPro, and nothing in these Terms of Service shall be construed as creating any joint venture, partnership, or employment relationship.
6. Account Information
You will need an account to use the Services. You shall protect any passwords and account information and take full responsibility for your own, and any third party, use of your account. If You learn of any unauthorized use of your password or account, contact CollegePlannerPro immediately.
You must be a human. Accounts registered by “bots” or other automated methods are not permitted. The “Account Owner” is considered to be the individual who creates the account. That individual is required to list a first and last name, business name, and email address within the platform. The Account Owner may update this information at any time. CollegePlannerPro does not in any way verify businesses (name, legal formation, ownership, or other attributes) upon account creation or at any point during the membership. If a business with multiple members/partners/employees creates an account, only one individual may technically be the Account Owner. Your login may only be used by one person – a single login shared by multiple people is not permitted. You may create separate logins for as many people as you like (For more details on sub-accounts, see Section 7).
You are responsible for all User Submitted Content posted and activity that occurs under your account.
7. Payment and Fees
If You choose to sign up for an account and use the Services, You agree to pay and be responsible for all applicable charges and fees for such Services. You can view the current charges and fees associated with the Services at http://www.CollegePlannerPro.com/plans. Prices of all Services, including but not limited to monthly subscription plan fees to the Service, are subject to change with or without notice. All fees are set out in U.S. dollars. You acknowledge and agree that You are the owner of any credit card account, PayPal account, and/or any other payment method that You submit to CollegePlannerPro for payment of the Services.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, fees paid to CollegePlannerPro are non-refundable. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, upgrade/downgrade refunds, or refunds for months unused with an open account. Nothing in these Terms of Service obligates CollegePlannerPro to extend credit to any party.
You will be billed monthly starting 30 days after your account is initially created. The Services are billed in advance on a monthly basis.
In the event that You are unable to enroll in a monthly subscription plan, annual prepayments may be arranged by CollegePlannerPro at its sole discretion. Prepayment in full by credit card, check, or bank transfer is required in order for access to be granted to your account. No refunds will be granted for annual prepaid accounts in the event of preterm cancellation. No price adjustments will be made if Account Owner chooses to downgrade the account during the term (with regards to either number of active students, number of sub-accounts, or any other purchased add-ons). If expansion of the subscription or sub-accounts needs to be made during the term, a prorated prepayment will be required.
All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) income taxes.
For any upgrade or downgrade in plan level, your credit card that you provided will automatically be charged the new rate on your next billing cycle. In the event of an upgrade in plan level during a billing cycle, You will be charged a prorated payment immediately upon upgrading for the remaining days of the current billing cycle. In the event of a downgrade in the plan level during a billing cycle, no refund will be provided for the remaining days of the current billing cycle.
Downgrading your Service may cause the loss of Content, features, or capacity of your Account. CollegePlannerPro does not accept any liability for such loss.
Accounts using CollegePlannerPro to send or receive text messages will incur standard messaging rates from cellular carriers. These rates are solely based on the individual cellular carriers providing the text messaging network. There are no separate or additional messaging rate charged by CollegePlannerPro for domestic text messaging within the U.S.
Accounts with international (Non-US) mobile phone numbers used for text messaging will be assessed a monthly fee ($6.00 USD) for an international texting plan in addition to the monthly subscription plan. This covers both student and consultant mobile phones linked with the account.
CollegePlannerPro reserves the right to impose fees or other charges for accounts exceeding their plan’s resource limits. There are no set or predetermined “overage fees” as CollegePlannerPro reserves the right to access charges in relation to the exceeded resource use.
Products or services offered via integrations with third parties, including but not limited to Prompt, Human eSources, and College Cost Navigator, may be available for purchase via the CollegePlannerPro system’s interface. The cost for these add-on services is not included with CollegePlannerPro monthly subscription plans and must be purchased separately for one or multiple students.
30-day free trials are extended once to an individual. Individuals creating multiple accounts will be charged the applicable subscription rate on the date of creation for each subsequent account created.
You may create additional user profiles (“sub-accounts”) in order to share access to your CollegePlannerPro account. Additional user profiles are billed monthly in conjunction with your selected subscription plan. While an unlimited number of sub-accounts may be created, there is only one Account Owner per account. The Account Owner has complete control and authority over account billing information, enabling/disabling modules, and adding/removing sub-accounts. The Account Owner is also ultimately responsible for and in control of a sub-user’s account and the data entered onto the platform by sub-users.
All CollegePlannerPro plans are allocated a specific amount of resources based on the plan level. You may or may not be alerted, notified or otherwise informed about your account’s resource usage. It is your responsibility to use your account in accordance to these resource limits. Accounts exceeding plan resource limits, generally in an excessive way, may be suspended for security purposes. In most cases CollegePlannerPro will request account holders upgrade their account if resource limits are exceeded. CollegePlannerPro reserves the right to suspend and or refuse service to anyone found in breach of resource limits at any time.
