The term “Client” shall refer collectively to both the applicant and the applicant’s parent(s) or guardians.
For the purposes of this agreement, the term “Admissions Services” shall refer, in the case of each specific package, to the services described in the “Enumeration of Services” section for that package.
The term “Admissions Advisor” shall refer to the 7Sage consultant responsible for giving strategic advice relating to the Client’s applications. The term “Writing Coach” shall refer to the 7Sage consultant responsible for providing editorial advice about the content, style, syntax, and diction of the written components of the Client’s applications.
7Sage will keep the Client’s Documents and personal information confidential. 7Sage Admissions Advisors and Writing Coaches may share the Client’s Documents and information with other 7Sage personnel. 7Sage may also share the Client’s documents with third-party proofreaders for the purpose of proofreading.
7Sage’s College Prep packages do not include the following, unless provided for in a separate agreement:
The Client agrees to pay for 7Sage’s Admissions Services in full, if the Client has not already done so, according to a schedule agreed upon by the Client and 7Sage (the “Payment Plan”).
If the Client has agreed to a Payment Plan with 7Sage, 7Sage will periodically send emails to the client with links to an online payment portal (“Invoices”). Payment is to be made within 15 days of each Invoice. Any payment after the due date is subject to 2% interest per month.
7Sage does not allow the Client to “downgrade” from the Consulting package to another editing package.
The Client agrees to provide at least 24-hours notice before cancelling any meeting. If the Client misses one meeting without giving at least 24-hours notice, they will be allowed to reschedule. If they miss any meeting thereafter without giving at least 24-hours notice, that meeting will count against the total number of meetings to which the Client is entitled.
7Sage offers a qualified six-day refund policy. If the Client requests a refund within six days of payment, the Client shall be entitled to a full refund less $350 per hour of 7Sage’s work time and less a 6% processing fee. For example, if we’ve spent half an hour with you, we can refund your purchase less $175 + 6% of the total cost for processing. The Client acknowledges that this refund policy will govern even if the Client encounters unforeseen circumstances.
From time to time, 7Sage may be sold out and offer potential Clients a spot on a Waitlist. If 7Sage has offered a package from a Waitlist and the Client has purchased from said Waitlist, such purchase will not be eligible for any refund unless otherwise noted.
7Sage shall not be obligated to refund the Client if and because the Client is disappointed by the results of their Applications.
Human summary: You can ask for a refund within six days, but we’ll charge you $350 per hour for any work we may have already done, plus a 6% processing fee.
In the event that the Client initiates a chargeback dispute with their credit card issuer or financial institution regarding any payment made to 7Sage under the terms of this Agreement, 7Sage shall immediately terminate all services provided under this Agreement.
7Sage reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time if the Client misrepresents facts about themself, acts egregiously, becomes hostile, proves impossible to satisfy, maintains unreasonable expectations, or makes unreasonable demands despite 7Sage’s good-faith efforts. In such cases, 7Sage shall refund the Client on a prorated basis.
The Client’s test scores, high school GPA, disciplinary record, and many other factors over which 7Sage has no control will constrain and affect the Client’s chances of admission to college. 7Sage makes no guarantee, either explicit or implicit, that the Client will be admitted to any particular school.
College application requirements and the processes by which schools admit applicants may change from year to year, and 7Sage may from time to time be unaware of such changes.
Human summary: We’ll do our best to help you, but some of this is out of our control. We don’t guarantee that you’ll get accepted anywhere.
7Sage provides, in addition to the aforementioned Services, information and guidance about college admissions in the form of online lessons, videos, webinars, documents, and other forms of communication (“Materials”). 7Sage does not make any warranty of any kind (expressed or implied) as to the results that may be obtained from use of its Materials or Services. In particular, 7Sage does not guarantee that the Materials or Services will result in acceptance to an undergraduate institution, or that the Materials or Services will result in an offer of financial aid. 7Sage’s Materials and Services are provided “AS IS,” and 7Sage does not guarantee that they are accurate or current.
7Sage will provide strategic consultation to help the Client prepare for the college application process. The Client will work with an Admissions Advisor.
College Blueprint is intended to provide one year of Admissions Services.
If the Client purchases College Blueprint, the Admissions Services shall end as soon as any of the following events occur:
7Sage will offer strategic advice, editorial guidance, and proofreading for the Client’s applications to ten or fewer American undergraduate programs. In addition, 7Sage will provide post-application support on matters of waitlists, interviews, and school choice.
The Client will work with an Admissions Advisor and Writing Coach. The Writing Coach will edit the Client’s documents. The Admissions Advisor will provide strategic advice relating to the Client’s school list, outreach to admissions offices, campus visits, essay topics and outlines, and generic (i.e. not school-specific) sections of the Common App. They will also review drafts of essays in progress and give their final approval when an essay is complete. The Admissions Advisor will function as a project manager.
For College Application Advising, 7Sage and the Client will agree on a list of schools (“Covered Schools”) for which 7Sage will provide Admissions Services. 7Sage will not be obligated to provide Admissions Services for additional schools, although the Client may apply to additional schools without 7Sage’s help.
If 7Sage and the Client do not explicitly decide on the Client’s Covered Schools, the Covered Schools shall consist of the first ten schools for which the Client receives 7Sage’s help after the execution of this Agreement.
All University of California schools will collectively count as one school.
The Client will only receive feedback from the Advisor and Writing Coach with whom they are paired. The Client will not receive feedback or advice from any other 7Sage consultants.
College Application Advising is intended to cover ten applications in a single admissions cycle as well as post-application support.
If the Client purchases College Application Advising, the Admissions Services shall end as soon as any of the following events occur:
7Sage will provide Admissions Services in the form of strategic consultation and/or editorial guidance by the hour.
Hourly consulting expires one year after it was purchased.
If any provision of this Agreement is void or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed omitted and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
7Sage shall have the right, at its election, to assign this Agreement to any person, firm, or corporation, including all 7Sage employees, contractors, shareholders, parent entities, subsidiaries, and affiliates. The Client may not assign its rights under this Agreement under any circumstances.
This Agreement constitutes the sole Agreement of the parties hereto and correctly states the rights, duties, and obligations of each party. Any prior agreement, promises, negotiations, or representations between the parties not expressly stated in this document are not binding. All subsequent modifications shall be in writing and agreed to by both parties.
7Sage is not responsible for any loss, injury, claim, liability, or damage (including a rejection from any undergraduate institution or a decrease in the Client’s SAT or ACT score) related to the Client’s use of the Materials or Services. The Client agrees to protect, indemnify, save, defend, and hold harmless 7Sage, its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent entities, and partners, and each of their assigns, agents, representatives, officers, directors, shareholders, contractors, and employees from and against any and all expenses, damages, claims, suits, actions, judgments, costs, and expenses whatsoever (including reasonable attorney’s fees), arising out of, or in any way connected with (1) any breach of this Agreement; and/or (2) any acts or omissions of the Client. In the event 7Sage expends any monies in an effort to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Client shall reimburse 7Sage for all of the said costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees).
