The Short Version
This summary is for convenience and is not a substitute for the full terms below. The full terms control if there is any conflict.
These terms cover your use of our websites and free resources. If you enroll in a paid program, the separate agreement you sign governs that program and controls for the program itself.
Our content is for education. It is not a guarantee of admission, a scholarship, or any specific result, and it is not legal, financial, or other professional advice.
You need to be at least 13 to use the Site. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms and supervise your use.
If we have a dispute, we will try to resolve it directly first. Most disputes are handled by individual arbitration rather than court, and you can opt out of arbitration within 30 days.
We are an independent business and are not affiliated with the Ivy League or any university.
Contents
1. Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Ultimate Ivy League Guide LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”), the company behind the Ultimate Mentor and Ultimate Ivy League Guide brands. They govern your access to and use of our websites at ultimateivyleagueguide.com and ultimatementor.com, our free content and resources, our online community, and our communications with you (together, the “Site” and “Services”).
By accessing or using the Site, creating an account, joining our community, or using our Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or Services.
2. Relationship to Paid Programs
If you enroll in a paid coaching program, the separate program agreement you sign with us (the “Program Agreement”) governs that program, including its services, scheduling, payment, and refund terms. These Terms apply to your general use of the Site and free resources. If these Terms and a Program Agreement conflict about the paid program itself, the Program Agreement controls for that program.
3. Eligibility and Minors
The Site is intended for parents and guardians and for students who are at least 13 years old. It is not directed to children under 13, and they may not use it or create an account. If you are under 18, you may use the Site only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use. By allowing a minor to use the Site, a parent or guardian agrees to these Terms and is responsible for the minor's activity. You represent that the information you provide is accurate, and that if you provide information about another person you have the authority to do so.
4. Accounts and Community
Some features of our paid programs, including our online community and student accounts, are provided through third-party platforms such as Skool or Slack. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for activity that occurs under your account. Our community is a shared space. When you participate, you agree to be respectful and to follow any posted community guidelines. We may remove content, and suspend or remove accounts, that we reasonably believe violate these Terms or harm the community.
Because our community includes students under 18, you also agree not to do any of the following in the community or in connection with the Services:
Harass, bully, threaten, or engage in hateful conduct toward any person;
Post sexual, explicit, or age-inappropriate content;
Share another person's private or personal information;
Scrape, harvest, or collect other members' information;
Post unsolicited advertising, promotion, or solicitation; or
Contact other students or families outside the channels we provide, or attempt to move conversations off our approved platforms.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
Use the Site or Services for any unlawful purpose, or in violation of these Terms;
Use our Services or materials to create or submit false, misleading, plagiarized, or non-original application materials, or to misrepresent authorship, grades, test scores, achievements, awards, activities, credentials, identity, or other admissions-related information;
Copy, resell, share, sublicense, or redistribute our paid content, community access, or materials;
Post or share content that is unlawful, infringing, harassing, hateful, deceptive, or harmful;
Impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;
Upload viruses or malicious code, or interfere with or disrupt the Site or Services;
Scrape, harvest, or use automated means to access or collect data from the Site without our written permission;
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or to other users' accounts; or
Use the Site, Services, or our content to build a competing product or to train an artificial intelligence model.
6. Our Intellectual Property
The Site and Services, including all text, videos, guides, templates, course materials, community materials, software, and design, and the methodologies we use, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to access and use our content for your own personal, non-commercial use within the Services. Any free guides, templates, or other resources we make available for download are licensed for your own personal, non-commercial use, and may not be redistributed, posted publicly, or resold. You may not copy, distribute, publish, display, modify, reverse engineer, create derivative works from, license, or sell any of our content without our prior written consent. Our names, logos, and brands are our trademarks and may not be used without permission. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. This section survives termination.
7. Your Content, Feedback, and Testimonials
You may submit content such as posts, questions, drafts, and messages (“Your Content”). You keep ownership of Your Content, and you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, store, display, and use it as needed to operate, provide, and improve the Services. You are responsible for Your Content and represent that you have the rights to it and that it does not violate any law or these Terms.
Sharing feedback or a testimonial is optional. If you choose to share feedback or a testimonial in any format, you give us permission to use it, along with your name, likeness, image, voice, and statements, for marketing and promotional purposes, and we may lightly edit it for length or clarity without changing its meaning. No compensation is provided unless we agree otherwise in writing. If you are under 18, your parent or guardian confirms they have the authority to give this permission.
8. Purchases and Payments
Paid programs are sold and governed by your Program Agreement. Any payments made through the Site are processed by our third-party payment provider, and you authorize the charges you agree to. Except as expressly stated in the applicable Program Agreement, payments are final and non-refundable. If you have a billing concern, we ask that you contact us first so we can work with you in good faith to resolve it quickly. This request does not limit any rights you may have with your card provider or under applicable law.
If you choose a payment plan, you authorize us and our payment provider to automatically charge your payment method for each scheduled payment until the full amount of your program is paid. Before you enroll in a payment plan, we will show you the amount of each payment, the number of payments, and the schedule. Your authorization continues until the full balance is paid, and choosing a payment plan does not change the total amount you owe under your Program Agreement. You are responsible for keeping a valid payment method on file, and you can contact us at joseph@ultimateivyleagueguide.com to update it. If a scheduled payment fails, we may retry it and may suspend access until your account is current, as described in your Program Agreement.
9. Educational Purpose, No Professional Advice, and No Guarantee of Results
Our content and Services are for educational and informational purposes to support your college admissions preparation. They are not, and should not be relied on as, legal, financial, tax, medical, or other professional advice. College admissions outcomes depend on many factors outside our control, and the results any individual achieves depend on their own effort and circumstances. We do not guarantee admission to any school, any scholarship or financial aid, any test score, or any other specific result. Any examples of past outcomes are not a promise of your results.
Any admissions examples, testimonials, case studies, and outcomes shown on the Site or in our marketing reflect the experiences of specific individuals, may not be typical, and do not guarantee that you will achieve the same or a similar result.
We help students brainstorm, organize, edit, and improve their own work, and we provide feedback and strategy. We do not complete applications for students or submit anything on their behalf. The student is solely responsible for the truthfulness, accuracy, originality, and final submission of all application materials, essays, and information, and for ensuring that any work submitted as the student's own is in fact the student's own.
10. No Affiliation; Independent Business
We are an independent college admissions consulting business. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise connected to the Ivy League, the Council of Ivy Group Presidents, or any college, university, or other institution. We reference schools only to describe where students may apply or be admitted. All trademarks and names referenced belong to their respective owners.
11. Third-Party Services and Links
The Site uses and links to third-party services and websites that we do not control, such as social media platforms, our community and scheduling tools, and our payment provider. We are not responsible for the content, products, or practices of those third parties, and your use of them is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
12. Privacy
Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is part of these Terms. Please review it to understand our privacy practices.
13. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Site and Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and any warranty that the Site or Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error free, or that any content is accurate or complete. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some of these may not apply to you.
14. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we and our owners, employees, contractors, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the Site or Services. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Site or Services will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months before the claim or one hundred dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you. These limitations reflect the allocation of risk between you and us, are an essential basis of our agreement, and apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. This section survives termination.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless us and our owners, employees, contractors, and affiliates from any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to your use of the Site or Services, Your Content, or your violation of these Terms, any law, or the rights of another, except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct. This section survives termination.
16. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver
Please read this section carefully. It affects how disputes are resolved. If you have a dispute with us, you agree to first contact us and try to resolve it informally for at least thirty (30) days before starting an arbitration or court proceeding.
If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and we agree that any dispute relating to these Terms or to the Site or Services will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except as stated below. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules govern how fees are allocated. The arbitration may be conducted in the State of Wyoming or by remote means where the rules allow, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and survives termination of these Terms.
Class action waiver. You and we agree to bring claims against each other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not combine more than one person's claims.
Small claims and opt out. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies. You may also opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing us at joseph@ultimateivyleagueguide.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.
Time limit on claims. To the extent permitted by law, any claim relating to the Site or Services must be brought within one (1) year after the basis for the claim arose, or it is permanently barred.
17. Governing Law
Except where applicable law requires otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to the arbitration section above, any permitted court proceeding will take place in the State of Wyoming, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
18. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Site or Services after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
19. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site or Services at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or to protect the Site, our users, or our business. You may stop using the Site at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution, will survive.
20. Copyright Complaints
We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe that content on the Site infringes your copyright, please send a notice that includes identification of the copyrighted work, the location of the material on the Site, and your contact information to joseph@ultimateivyleagueguide.com, and we will review and respond appropriately.
21. Electronic Communications and Signatures
By using the Site or Services, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically and that electronic agreements, notices, and records satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You agree that your electronic acceptance of these Terms has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature.
22. General
These Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any Program Agreement are the entire agreement between you and us about the Site and Services and replace any prior understandings about that subject. If any part of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that part will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any part is not a waiver of our right to do so later. You may not assign these Terms without our consent, and we may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control. We may provide notices to you through the Site or the contact information you provide. These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.
