BY COMPLETING THE [PAYMENT/APPLICATION/REGISTRATION] PROCESS AND CLICKING THE "[ I Agree ]" BUTTON, YOU ARE STATING THAT YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COURSE AND THAT YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AS SET FORTH BELOW.

PLEASE SEE THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PROVISION BELOW.

1. ABILITY TO ACCEPT TERMS. You affirm that you are (A) more than 18 years of age; (B) an emancipated minor; or (C) a parent or legal guardian acting on behalf of a minor child who will be participating in the Course (a “Minor”), and are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations, and warranties set forth herein, and to abide by and comply with the same.

If you have agreed to allow a Minor to participate in the Course under these Terms, you agree that you are solely responsible for (A) assuming accountability for the conduct of the Minor throughout Minor’s participation in the Course; (B) monitoring the Minor’s access to and use of the Course Website and Content; and (C) accepting the consequences of any use of the Course Website and Content by such Minor.

3. COURSE FEE. The fee(s) for the Course (the “Course Fee”) shall be as stated on the applicable order form.

4. COURSE RESULTS. You understand that your/Minor’s success in the Course is based on several factors, including, but not limited to, your/Minor’s motivation, commitment, and actions. Since these factors differ according to individuals, SCHOOL cannot guarantee your/Minor’s success, and SCHOOL shall not be held responsible for any of your/Minor’s actions.

5. REFUND POLICY. In the event you/the Minor feel the Course is not helpful, SCHOOL provides a 60-day refund period which begins on the date of the first scheduled class of your/Minor’s course (the “Refund Period”), regardless of (i) the date on which the Course was initially purchased; and/or (ii) whether you/Minor have actually attended or participated in the Course in any way. Refunds must be requested by you during the Refund Period, at which time SCHOOL will provide a pro-rated refund of the Course Fees based on the amount of remaining time left in the Course at the time a refund is requested (the “Refund”). Refunds requested after the expiration of the Refund Period will not be honored. Once SCHOOL has processed the Refund, you/the Minor will lose access to the Course completely, including any videos or other Course content and materials you/the Minor may have already completed.

A. Materials that are provided by SCHOOL as part of the Course (the “Materials”) shall be delivered (i) via a course-related website for which you may be given a username and password to access the Materials (the “Course Website,” which, for purposes of these Terms, shall also include any other website(s) related to the Course, whether such website requires you to log in, or not); and/or (ii) via a download link for which you will be given a URL to download the Materials.

However, in the rare event that SCHOOL decides to discontinue the Course after you had paid for the same, SCHOOL will either fulfill the Terms hereunder for the duration of the specific term that you paid for, or in our sole discretion, SCHOOL will offer you a refund for the services that were not yet rendered. If no specific duration was specified for how long the Course will be available, the Course will be accessible to you on a lifetime basis, which means for as long as SCHOOL continues to support that version of the Course.

SCHOOL AND ITS AGENTS DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE CONTENT CONTAINS NO TYPOGRAPHICAL OR OTHER ERRORS ; THAT THE COURSE WEBSITE WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION; THAT ANY DEFECTS OR ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED; OR THAT THE CONTENT IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

OOL OR ITS AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE COURSE WEBSITE AND/OR THE CONTENT. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF SCHOOL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SCHOOL’S LIABILITY IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of SCHOOL to any person, firm or corporation whatsoever arising out of or in the connection with any license, use or other employment of any Content delivered to you hereunder, whether such liability arises from any claim based on breach or repudiation of contract, warranty, tort or otherwise, shall in no case exceed the actual price paid to SCHOOL by you for the Course and/or Content whose license, use, or other employment gives rise to the liability. The essential purpose of this provision is to limit the potential liability of SCHOOL arising out of these Terms. The parties acknowledge that the limitations set forth in this section are integral to the amount of consideration levied in connection with the Course Website and Content and any services rendered hereunder and that, were SCHOOL to assume any further liability other than as set forth herein, such consideration would of necessity be set substantially higher.

              Top Student Academy Gold Level Course Enrollment Form

              Here's What's Inside The Training:

              Top Student Academy Masterclass
              Gold Level
              35 Weeks
               
              The class starts in September and ends in June.
              We'll be taking both winter break & spring break off.
               
              The level of materials in our Gold Level course is comparable to 11-12th grade level materials in the regular school system. It builds a strong foundation for you to excel in university or advanced English classes (AP/IB High Level English classes).
               
              Through the Gold Level course, you will build a strong foundation in critical analysis, literary comprehension, strategic note-taking, synthesis analysis, and academic essay writing.
               
              In this course, you will learn 135 Writing Techniques
                                                              40 Outline Techniques
                                                              38 Strategic Note-Taking Techniques
                                                              38 Analysis Techniques
               
              …That’s over 250 techniques in a year!
               
              (Think of it this way: Even if you only master 30% of these techniques, that's still 75 techniques that your classmates or your old-self wouldn't have! Not to mention most of our students tell us they absorbed 50%-80% of the techniques they learned)
               
              We'll be going through a good balance of poems, stories, and synthesis analysis.
               
              Fun and easy-to-watch, bite-size short video lessons that are enhanced with Super-learning tools (budget around an hour each week)
               
              Weekly Writing Assignments
              Assignments: Mindful practices through applying new analysis and writing skills
               
              Zoom Meeting (bonus): For students who have this bonus, there is a weekly zoom meeting with your cohort and teacher. This is mainly a place for Q&A sessions, in-class practices, and a place to help you with accountability.
               
              What's In the Course:
               
              Each unit includes 3 assignments:
              1. Text Analysis (analyzing a poem, a story, or a synthesis analysis where you analyze two texts)
              2. Outline Creation
              3. Writing Assignment (Essay or Long Paragraph)
               
              One unit usually takes 2 to 3 weeks to complete.
               
              60 Day Refund Period
              We're proud to say that very few students ever requested for a refund (in most normal classes, we pretty much never get refund requests).
              However, because we have 100% faith in the high quality of our program that has stood the test of time, we provide a Guaranteed 60-day Refund Period. 
               
              Within the first 60 days of your child’s program, if at any point he or she feels the program is not helpful, we provide a pro-rated refund (ie. If he/she completed 3 weeks of the program, we will deduct the prorated tuition amount of the first 3 weeks and refund the remaining). 
               
              The 60-day period does not start from your date of purchase--you have a lot more time than that. The 60 period starts from the first day of your child's class, which is usually in September at the beginning of the academic year. So even if you purchase the program in March, you will have up to early November to refund the course if your child's course starts in early September. If the student joins later than the course start date, such as 2 weeks after the course starts, the 60-day period still starts on the course start date.
               
              Once the refund is processed, the student will no longer have access to the entire course--Since this refund policy only applies if you/your child feel like the course is not helping them improve, there's no use for the student to access a course he/she/they don't feel like is beneficial.
               
              Secure Processing
              Each order is processed through a secure, 256-bit encrypted payment processing gateway to ensure your privacy.
