Terms of Service
Effective April 2025 · Governing law: Texas, United States
1. Acceptance of Terms
By creating a Karman account or using the Karman platform (karmanprep.com), you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the platform. These terms apply to all users including students, parents, and tutors.
2. Subscriptions & Billing
- Karman offers monthly and annual subscription plans. All plans begin with a 7-day free trial. You will not be charged during the trial period.
- On day 8 of your trial, your card on file will be automatically charged at the rate of your selected plan. You authorize this recurring charge by entering your payment details.
- Monthly subscriptions renew automatically on the same date each month. Annual subscriptions renew on the anniversary of your purchase date.
- All prices are in USD and inclusive of applicable taxes where required.
- We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' advance notice by email. Continued use after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the new price.
3. Cancellation
- You may cancel your subscription at any time through Account → Billing → Cancel Subscription, or by emailing billing@karmanprep.com.
- Cancellation stops future billing. You retain full platform access through the end of your current billing period.
- Cancellation does not automatically generate a refund for the current billing period. See our Refund Policy for details.
- Cancelling during your 7-day trial before day 8 incurs no charge.
4. Session Policies
- Sessions must be cancelled with at least 24 hours' advance notice to avoid counting against your monthly session allocation.
- Late cancellations (under 24 hours) and no-shows count as completed sessions and are not rescheduled without charge.
- Three or more no-shows within a single month may result in account review and temporary suspension of session scheduling privileges.
- Session recordings: all group sessions are recorded and available to paid subscribers. Private and Elite sessions are not recorded without explicit consent from both the student and tutor.
- Karman reserves the right to substitute an equivalent tutor if your scheduled tutor is unavailable, with advance notice where possible.
5. Score Improvement Guarantee
The 50-point score improvement guarantee is subject to full eligibility requirements detailed at karmanprep.com/guarantee. Meeting the eligibility requirements is the student's responsibility. Karman reserves the right to verify claims using official score documentation.
6. Acceptable Use
- Accounts are for individual use only. Sharing login credentials with others is prohibited and may result in account termination.
- You may not reproduce, distribute, or resell any Karman curriculum, lesson content, or platform materials without written permission.
- You may not record tutoring sessions without the explicit consent of your tutor and Karman.
- Abusive, harassing, or disrespectful behavior toward tutors or Karman staff will result in immediate account termination without refund.
- Karman's platform and content are for lawful educational use only.
7. Intellectual Property
All content on the Karman platform — including lesson videos, diagnostic questions, curriculum materials, graphics, and software — is the exclusive property of Karman or its licensors. Nothing in these Terms grants you ownership or a license to use Karman's intellectual property outside of your personal, non-commercial educational use on the platform.
8. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability
- Karman provides the platform "as is" and makes no guarantees of specific score outcomes beyond the terms of the 50-point guarantee.
- Karman is not liable for internet connectivity issues, College Board testing irregularities, or student circumstances outside our control that affect test performance.
- To the maximum extent permitted by law, Karman's total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid in the preceding 3 months.
9. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Travis County, Texas.
10. Changes to These Terms
Karman may update these Terms at any time. We will notify you by email at least 14 days before material changes take effect. Continued use of the platform after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
