Terms of Service

The rules for accounts, subscriptions, refunds, content, and AI-assisted study features.

Last updated: 2026-05-23

Overview

These Terms govern account use, subscriptions, and expectations for AI-assisted study features across the platform. Copyright and IP complaint procedures are described in our Copyright and DMCA Policy.

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or using MCAT Prep Academy (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract. The Service is intended for adult MCAT preparation; you agree not to misrepresent your eligibility.

3. Account

You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for any activity under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized use.

4. Subscription and billing

We offer free, Pro, and Elite tiers. Pro and Elite subscriptions may begin with an optional free trial shown at checkout; you will not be charged during the trial. Trial access defaults to one day and is capped at three days unless we state otherwise in writing. After the trial, your card is charged at the plan rate (monthly or annual). Subscriptions auto-renew until canceled. You can cancel any time from your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Before starting checkout, we show the selected price, billing interval, renewal terms, trial terms when applicable, cancellation path, and refund window.

5. Refund policy

We refund within 14 days of an initial charge for any reason, subject to duplicate-refund and fraud checks. We do not deny an initial-charge refund solely because you used the product during the 14-day window. After 14 days, refunds are at our discretion (typically granted for duplicate charges, service outages of > 24 hours, or technical inability to use the Service that we could not resolve).

6. License + acceptable use

We grant you a personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service. You agree NOT to:

  • Share your account or sell access to it.
  • Scrape, copy, redistribute, or republish curriculum content (lessons, quizzes, exams, AI tutor outputs) outside personal use.
  • Reverse-engineer or attempt to extract source code.
  • Disrupt the Service or attempt to bypass rate limits or paywalls.
  • Use the AI tutor to generate harmful, illegal, or off-topic content.
  • Paste, extract, transform, or redistribute copyrighted commercial prep materials unless you have the rights needed to do so.
  • Share generated flashcards, notes, or deck content in a way that infringes another person’s intellectual-property rights.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, its curriculum, source code, and brand are owned by MCAT Prep Academy and its licensors. Our study content is intended to be original or properly licensed. AI-generated tutor responses to your prompts are yours to use for personal study, subject to these Terms and the rights of any source material you provide. MCAT and related marks belong to their respective owners. MCAT Prep Academy is independent and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any exam administrator. Copyright owners may report alleged infringement through our DMCA and copyright takedown workflow.

8. AI tutor disclaimer

The AI tutor is a study aid and may produce inaccurate or incomplete responses. It is not a substitute for primary sources, authorized exam materials, or your own judgment. We do not provide medical, legal, admissions, or financial advice, and we do not warrant any specific MCAT score outcome.

9. Taxes

Prices may exclude taxes, VAT, GST, or other government charges unless checkout states otherwise. Stripe or our tax provider may calculate and collect applicable taxes based on your billing details.

10. Service availability

We aim for high uptime but make no guarantee. We may modify or discontinue features at any time. If we discontinue your paid plan’s major feature mid-cycle, we will offer a pro-rated refund.

11. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time from settings. We may suspend or terminate your account for material breach of these Terms, fraudulent activity, or as required by law. On termination we will retain data per our retention schedule (30-day grace then purge) outlined in the Privacy Policy.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

14. Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be emailed to you before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the state of your residence (for U.S. users) or your country of residence (otherwise), without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
