1. Description of Service

The Service uses generative artificial intelligence ("GenAI") tools to assist high school students, parents, and educational counselors in the college application process. Key features include analyzing application essay prompts, providing feedback on drafts, generating ideas, and offering guidance on application materials.

You acknowledge that the Service is a tool designed to assist and guide you. It is not a substitute for your own original work, critical thinking, or the professional advice of an educational counselor.

2. Eligibility and Account Registration

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian's permission to use the Service and that they have read and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

To access certain features, you must register for an account. You agree to:

Provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process.
Maintain the security of your password and accept all risks of unauthorized access to your account.

It is your responsibility to ensure your application materials are your own original work and comply with all academic integrity policies.
Accuracy Disclaimer: GenAI can make mistakes and produce inaccurate or inappropriate information. ForesthillAI, Inc. does not guarantee the accuracy, relevance, or quality of the Generated Output. You must critically evaluate all Generated Output and verify any factual information.
