High School Admissions, SAT, and Group Tutoring Program Terms and Conditions
Initial payment will be refunded upon request if the student does not have a lesson nor a practice test.
We generally keep all groups small (4-8 students) so when someone is absent, we need to expect payment. As such, unless you email us otherwise, we will charge your credit card that you used to sign up every two weeks for two lessons starting on the student’s second scheduled lesson. Automatic payment for High School Admissions will be made on the second lesson for two lessons every two lessons (on the second lesson for the second and third, on the fourth lesson for the fourth and fifth, etc) unless otherwise stated. Program can be canceled after any two week period but is not cancellable after September 1 of the student’s 8th grade. After September 1, payment must be made for all classes until the SHSAT (late October) or the TACHS (early November), whichever test is later for the student.
Instead of the automatic payment by credit card, payment can also be made via Venmo, Zelle, Google Pay, or PayPal for all lessons for the first of the month. If all lessons are not paid by the first of the month and automatic payment is not active, practice exams will be normal price and not free.
A free first practice exam or lesson is given to new High School Admissions students. The one that is free is whichever is a lower price. The student must purchase either a practice exam or the ‘Reserve your spot here” courses to receive the free practice exam or lesson.
Initial free practice test or lesson assumes the student starts an automated payment immediately after their first test. As a courtesy, we are counting that test as free as part of your automated payment retroactively. If the student does not start lessons within 7 days of our scheduled practice test, the test is not free.
Students may request a video of the lesson if they are absent.
We will automatically sign your student up for all relevant practice tests for free. If payments are not up to date and the student takes a practice test, we will charge 50 for the practice test, otherwise it is free.
Students who stop the High School Admission Program and rejoin after May may no longer have previous discounts applied to new lessons.
Payment must be made for all group classes unless canceled 24 hours before the lesson.
If automatic payment fails for any reason, you agree to pay for any lessons which failed and any future ones.
Prior results to not guarantee future outcomes. Out students have done exceptionally well and we try to constantly improve the program for the next students. We cannot guarantee acceptance, entrance, or scholarship to any high school, program, or other educational institution or that a student will pass a test or achieve a certain score.
You may not distribute, modify, or use in any way the materials, videos, lexicon, assigned homework, or any other portion of the course or from any tutor of the Company outside of the Company. They cannot be shared with any other students or organizations. You may only purchase services for your student for your student’s enrichment.
Referral Program Terms and Conditions
Last Updated: August 2, 2022
We (“MasterofChemistry”, “MasterofChemistry.com”, “MOC”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) believe we have the best High School Admissions course in the world and offer our past students (“Referrer”, “advocate”, “your”, “you”) a Reward (defined below) for referring New Families (defined below).
By participating in this Program, you agree to the following terms and conditions, the MasterofChemistry Privacy Policy (available at https://www.masterofchemistry.com/privacy-policy/), and any other offer terms set forth when deciding to participate in the Referral Program.
The reward amount is $50.00 for each Qualified Referral of a New Family (“Reward”). The number of New Families you can refer during the Program has no limit. If two or more Referrers invite the same New Family, MasterofChemistry will credit the Reward to the first Referee that the New Family used to register. The Reward will be deposited into your PayPal account at least two (2) business days after the end of the Program and no later than 100 days after successful purchase by New Family.
Participation
This Program allows you to invite New Families to sign up for High School Admissions lessons. You will earn a Reward (defined below) when New Families sign up and make an eligible purchase (defined below). To participate in the Program, you should visit https://www.masterofchemistry.com/refer (“Webpage”) and follow the instructions. To be “eligible” for the Program and qualify for the Rewards, you must be a legal resident of the United States of America and at least 18 years old; and you must have a PayPal account in which to receive funds.
Qualified Referrals
“Qualified Referral” means that ALL of the following conditions are met:
- You must have received an invitation from us to participate in the Program (which you can freely publish or distribute to New Families as needed);
- You must provide your email to receive payments;
- “New Family” (“New Families”, “Referee(s)”) is (are) defined as a family without any persons who have a brother, sister, step-brother, or step-sister who was a previous student of MasterofChemistry, High School Admissions, or John Zaborskis before the referral and is not in the family (as previously defined) of any tutor, teacher, or anyone who works at MOC. Cousins are acceptable.
- New Families must use your link in a browser (apps may cause issues) to make their first payment of at least $50.00 before the Referral Program has ended;
- New Families must register as a new High School Admissions customer for lessons or a practice test or a course for a 1st grader through and including 7th grader, including having their own unique contact and account information
- SAT students or student who are not joining High School Admissions lessons will not count as Qualified Referrals and we are not obligated to pay you for referring these students, however, we will do our best to compensate Referrers of all students in some way. This is not guaranteed and will be on a lower scale than High School Admissions students;
Restrictions
Payments canceled, refunded, or charged-back by the New Family, Referrer, or MasterofChemistry during the Program are not Qualified Referrals.
Rewards are subject to verification. We may delay a Reward for the purposes of investigation. In our sole discretion, we may also refuse to verify and process any referral that we deem to be fraudulent, suspicious, abusive; will undermine the fairness, integrity or legitimate operation of the Referral Program in any way, or to be in violation of these Terms. Referrers cannot refer themselves or try to abuse the program in any way. Abuse will result in forfeiture of any Rewards. All decisions, including whether a Qualified Referral or Reward is verified, are final. You cannot transfer this offer to another person or organization without our approval. You cannot publish or distribute MasterofChemistry’s invitation to participate in this Referral Program to other persons or organizations without our approval. If you do so, MasterofChemistry reserves the right to disqualify you from participation and void any Qualified Referrals during the Referral Program.
Referrers must respect the spirit of the Referral Program by only referring real individuals who meet the requirements of these Terms.
Privacy
Referrers may participate in the Program made available by MasterofChemistry in order to refer New Families to MasterofChemistry as potential new MasterofChemistry customers. To do this, Referrers must necessarily submit personal information about themselves, so that MasterofChemistry can send communications to Referrers’. The personal information will be collected, processed and used in accordance with MasterofChemistry’s Privacy Policy, which can be found at https://www.MasterofChemistry.com/privacy-policy/. The personal information may also be used by MasterofChemistry to contact Referrers with regards to their participation in the Program and to send to Referrers additional communications from MasterofChemistry.
Termination and Cancellation
At our sole discretion, we reserve the right to cancel, suspend, modify, add, or delete all of any portion of these Terms, benefits, or payments of the Referral Program should MasterofChemistry determine that the administration, security, or fairness of the Referral Program has been compromised in any way at any time, with or without notice. If the Program is terminated or the Referrer’s account is closed, any remaining earned Referral fees will be forfeited. You are deemed to be aware of and bound by such changes by your continued access to or participation in the Program. We will indicate that changes have been made by updating the “Last Updated” date located at the beginning of these Terms. Your continued use of our Sites or the Referral Program constitutes agreement to any revision of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
We reserve the right to disqualify you from participation in the Referral Program at any time at our sole discretion, including without limitation if you do not comply with any of these Terms or otherwise fail to comply with applicable law.
