If You purchase or enroll in the Program for use by another (for example, a parent consenting on behalf of a child) these Terms govern both You and other(s) who use the Program you purchase (collectively, “Student”). You agree to be bound by the Terms, which is an agreement between AAA and You.

No Guarantee. AAA does not guarantee acceptance into any program, school, university, or any such outcome. AAA acts as a consultancy and not as a guarantee of acceptance to academic programs.

Authorship. It is the Student’s responsibility to author their own applications and supporting documents. It is also the Student’s  responsibility to submit their college applications on time to the chosen Universities/Schools/Colleges/Programs.

Tutoring Policies: The Student and tutor will plan a schedule that is mutually convenient. If the Student needs to cancel or postpone a lesson, they must directly notify the tutor at least 24 hours in advance. Refer to the Refunds section for more information.
