Unauthorized use of these images or media is strictly prohibited and may violate the rights of the third-party licensors.

3. Services Provided

Admissions Helpers offers consultation services to assist applicants in their educational admissions process, including strategy consultations, application guidance, personal statement guidance, university application guidance, interview preparation, and other related services. These services are provided remotely through Zoom, phone, email, and other agreed-upon platforms.

When Admissions Helpers advertises a service or package as including "unlimited" help, this means that clients have the flexibility to request assistance as they feel necessary within reasonable limits. "Unlimited" does not imply an unlimited right to demand excessive meetings, unnecessary revisions, or to continuously rework completed materials.

Admissions Helpers is committed to providing all necessary support to help clients create strong applications. However, the determination of when sufficient assistance has been provided rests solely with Admissions Helpers. We reserve the right to limit or refuse further services if we believe that a client has received adequate guidance and their application is sufficiently strong. This discretion ensures that our services remain effective, focused, and fair to all clients.

4. No Guarantee of Admission

While our services aim to enhance your application and improve your chances of admission, Admissions Helpers does not guarantee that any applicant will be admitted to any educational program, including undergraduate, graduate, master’s, or post-baccalaureate programs.

6. Fees and Payments

For all paid services, payments shall be made upfront unless a payment plan has been agreed upon in advance by both Admissions Helpers and the Applicant. All payments are non-refundable. If the Applicant terminates the agreement before all services have been provided, no refunds will be issued. Any potential refund will be at the sole discretion of Admissions Helpers. If Admissions Helpers terminates the agreement without cause, the Applicant will be entitled to a refund of the fee. This refund will be calculated by multiplying the number of hours of work already provided by an hourly rate in effect at the time of termination, with the remainder of the fee being refunded to the Applicant.

7. Duration

The duration of this agreement shall be determined based on the specific services selected by the Applicant and agreed upon by both Admissions Helpers and the Applicant at the time of engagement. The specific duration will be outlined in the service agreement or confirmation of services.
