    • attempt recommended writing exercises and strategies;

    • 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 or GPT3. 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;

    • give at least 24 hours’ notice when rescheduling live coaching sessions;

    • use a quiet space during live coaching/web conferencing sessions and not share meeting information, Google Drive access, or Success Story's proprietary documents with anyone except parents or guardians;

    • meet all Wednesday and Sunday assignment deadlines and attend all live coaching sessions during the consultation period.

    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 also understand that missing a scheduled live coaching appointment without prior notice means I, and my family, will lose that live coaching session.

    I understand that use of this service is not a guarantee of my acceptance to any colleges, universities, or scholarships.

    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.

    • help my child find 5 to 7 hours available per week during the consultation period;

    • give permission for my child to use web conferencing software with a Success Story consultant and to be recorded;

I understand that late cancellations will be refunded 50% of the deposit. I understand that while services can be rescheduled for a subsequent month, availability of services is not guaranteed.

    I understand that if my child misses assignment deadlines or coaching sessions anytime during the consulting period, Success Story reserves the right to cancel services, and that prior payments are nonrefundable.
