Terms of Service

By creating an account, accessing, or using MajorGuide ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. These Terms apply to all visitors, students, school users, and administrators.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a school or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

MajorGuide is an educational exploration platform designed to help students research college majors, understand career paths, and develop skills. Our features include:

• A searchable database of college majors with salary, job growth, and AI-impact data.
• A major-match quiz to help identify majors aligned with your interests and strengths.
• AI-assisted major guidance and counseling suggestions.
• Typing Pro, a tool to build and measure typing proficiency.
• A counselor dashboard for school administrators to monitor student engagement.
• Major comparison tools and saved lists.

MajorGuide is an educational exploration tool, not a professional academic advising service. Suggestions, AI-generated content, and data are informational only and do not constitute binding academic recommendations. Always consult a qualified academic advisor or counselor for important educational decisions.

To access most features you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current information and to keep your credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account, you must notify us immediately at legal@majorguide.com. We are not liable for losses resulting from unauthorized access that you failed to report promptly.

Schools may subscribe to MajorGuide on behalf of their students. School administrators are responsible for:

• Obtaining any required parental or guardian consent before provisioning student accounts.
• Ensuring their use of student data complies with applicable laws including FERPA and COPPA.
• Managing access rights and deactivating accounts for students who leave the school.

School-linked student data (quiz results, typing stats, engagement) is visible to authorized counselors and administrators within that school's account.

MajorGuide uses artificial intelligence to generate major suggestions, career guidance, and counselor insights. You acknowledge that:

• AI-generated content is informational only and does not constitute professional academic, career, or legal advice.
• Suggestions are not binding recommendations and may not reflect your individual circumstances, school requirements, or current job market conditions.
• AI outputs may occasionally be inaccurate or incomplete. You should independently verify important information.
• MajorGuide is not liable for any decisions made in reliance on AI-generated content.

Certain features require a paid subscription. By subscribing you agree to pay the applicable fees as described on our pricing page. Key billing terms:

• Billing cycle: Subscriptions renew automatically on a monthly or annual basis depending on the plan you choose.
• Payment processor: All payments are processed securely by Stripe. By subscribing, you also agree to Stripe's terms.
• Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings or by contacting us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access until then. We do not provide refunds for partial periods except where required by law.
• Price changes: We reserve the right to modify subscription prices with at least 30 days notice before the change takes effect.
• School subscriptions: Licenses purchased for school accounts are non-transferable and apply only to the subscribing institution.

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the platform, server, or database.
• Reverse engineer, scrape, or reproduce the platform's content or data at scale.
• Impersonate another user, school, or organization.
• Upload, transmit, or distribute malware or harmful code.
• Use the Service to harass, bully, or harm other users.
• Circumvent subscription access controls or share account credentials.
• Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to access the platform without our written permission.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these prohibitions without prior notice.

All content, design, software, and data on MajorGuide - including major databases, AI models, and platform features - are the property of MajorGuide or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our express written consent.

Content you submit (e.g., quiz responses, feedback) remains yours. By submitting it, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use it to operate and improve the Service.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, MajorGuide and its officers, employees, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of or inability to use the Service, including:

• Decisions made in reliance on major recommendations or AI-generated content.
• Data loss, unauthorized access, or service interruptions.
• Any loss of profits, goodwill, or business opportunities.

Our total liability to you for any claims arising under these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $50, whichever is greater.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that defects will be corrected.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the courts of Texas, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in that venue.

We may revise these Terms at any time. For material changes, we will provide at least 30 days notice by email or a prominent notice on the platform. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
