Terms & Conditions

THIS CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between OPEN ADMITS CONSULTING (the “Consultant”), and the individual or entity engaging the Consultant (the “Client”).

EFFECTIVE DATE: The date upon which the Client submits payment or digitally affirms acceptance of these terms, whichever occurs first.

GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the United States.

ARTICLE I: ENGAGEMENT, SCOPE, AND LIMITATION OF WARRANTY.

1.1. SCOPE OF ENGAGEMENT: The Consultant shall provide professional strategic consulting services limited exclusively to academic admissions preparation, which encompasses strategic guidance, essay editing, profile positioning, and interview preparation.

1.2. NO WARRANTY OF OUTCOME: The Client covenants and warrants that it understands and acknowledges that the Consultant provides guidance only. The Consultant does not warrant or guarantee any specific result, including, but not limited to, acceptance into any academic program, the securing of scholarships, or the outcome of any interview, as final decisions rest solely with the respective institutions. Failure to secure admission shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by the Consultant.

1.3. NO FUTURE OBLIGATION (LOCK-UP CLAUSE): The Consultant's contractual obligations shall be deemed fully and finally satisfied upon the completion of the contracted services. Any request for subsequent guidance, edits, or consultations outside of the expressly agreed-upon scope shall be deemed a separate, future engagement and shall require a new written agreement and separate remuneration.

1.4. NON-TRANSFERABILITY: The services detailed herein are personal to the enrolled Client and are non-transferable and non-assignable to any other individual. The Client is further prohibited from unilaterally deferring the utilization of services to a subsequent academic cycle.

1.5. NO THIRD-PARTY INVOLVEMENT: The Client expressly covenants that the services, advice, and confidential communications provided by the Consultant are for the Client's exclusive, personal use and benefit. The Client shall not involve any third-party advisor, consultant, agent, or paid representative in the delivery or review of the Consultant's work, including, but not limited to, attending strategy calls, reviewing edited materials, or mediating communications. Involvement of any third party in the consulting process without the Consultant's prior explicit written consent shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and may, at the Consultant's sole discretion, result in the immediate and permanent termination of all services without refund.

ARTICLE II: COMPENSATION AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

2.1. FEE STRUCTURE: The Client shall remit all contracted fees in full, or strictly according to the agreed-upon installment plan, prior to the formal commencement of any services.

2.2. COMMENCEMENT AND SUSPENSION: The Consultant shall not be obligated to initiate any work until the initial payment has been successfully processed. Should the Client fail to remit any subsequent payment in accordance with the agreed schedule, the Consultant reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to immediately and unilaterally suspend or permanently terminate all provision of services under this Agreement.

2.3. CLIENT COOPERATION: The Client shall be responsible for providing all necessary application materials, feedback, and responses in strict adherence to the mutual, agreed-upon timelines. Any extension of delivery timelines caused by the Client's failure to provide timely input shall not impose any liability or penalty upon the Consultant.

ARTICLE III: CONFIDENTIALITY, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, AND NON-DISCLOSURE.

3.1. CLIENT CONFIDENTIALITY: All personal information and materials shared by the Client shall be maintained in strict confidence by the Consultant and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the Client's prior express written consent, save and except as required by a lawful court order or statute.

3.2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (IP): All templates, frameworks, guides, training modules, and other materials developed or provided by the Consultant during the term of this engagement shall remain the sole and exclusive intellectual property of the Consultant. The Client is hereby granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-commercial, and non-transferable license for their personal, academic-application-related use only. The redistribution, public display, or commercial reuse of any Consultant IP is strictly prohibited and shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

3.3. CONSULTANT'S CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION (NON-DISCLOSURE CLAUSE): The Client expressly acknowledges that the Consultant's methodology, internal frameworks, proprietary strategic processes, internal pricing and fee structures, communication protocols, and any non-public business information constitute valuable and protected trade secrets ("Consultant Confidential Information"). The Client is hereby obligated, both during and perpetually following the termination of this Agreement, to maintain the strictest confidence regarding all Consultant Confidential Information. Disclosure of any such information to any third party, or use of such information for any purpose other than the Client's utilization of the contracted services, is strictly prohibited and shall result in immediate termination of this Agreement and may subject the Client to full legal remedies, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief and monetary damages.
