    • submit original work, complying with any and all rules set by the Common App, the Coalition App, or the colleges to which I'm applying regarding the use of any type of artificial intelligence, including, but not limited to, ChatGPT, Bard, Google Workspace AI, Sudowrite, Jasper, or any other existing AI tool. I acknowledge that not complying with those rules by using any type of artificial intelligence to write an essay or any other part of an application submitted to a college may be considered plagiarism resulting in consequences, including, but not limited to, rejection, and that Success Story shall not be responsible for determining compliance with the above;

    I understand that with the first missed deadline or coaching session, Success Story reserves the right to cancel this agreement and that prior payments will not be refunded.

    I understand that my essays may need more drafts beyond the consulting period, and that the work done together does not guarantee a final draft ready for submission.
