The Service is designed to empower high school juniors and seniors with meaningful career exploration, preparation, and placement opportunities.

Certain users (e.g., professionals) may be required to provide additional documentation and information and answer additional screening questions as part of their registration process, and we may run independent third-party checks (e.g., background checks) prior to such users being permitted to access and use the Service. If you choose to register for the Service, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form. You agree that you will not create an account for anyone other than yourself without first receiving permission from the other person (unless you are their parent or guardian).

In addition, if you are under 18 years old, you may use the Service, with or without registering, only with the approval of your parent or guardian.
Certain features of the Service may be made available to educators, school administrators, or parents and guardians for the purpose of supporting student users. These individuals may be granted limited access to student activity, application progress, or other relevant information, subject to applicable privacy protections. By using the Service in this capacity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to act in the best interest of the student and that your access and use will be solely for educational or supportive purposes. We reserve the right to limit or revoke such access at any time in its sole discretion.

You are solely responsible for all code, video, images, information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, messages, and other materials (“content”) that you make available to GoPursue, including by uploading, posting, publishing, or displaying (hereinafter, “upload(ing)”) via the Service (including whether uploaded via Third-Party Services or directly by you into the Service) or by emailing or otherwise making available to other users of the Service (collectively, “User Content”). GoPursue reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate legal action against anyone who, in GoPursue’s sole discretion, violates this provision, including removing the offending content from the Service, suspending or terminating the account of such violators, and reporting the violator to law enforcement authorities.

You represent and warrant to GoPursue that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly update your account information with GoPursue or the Payment Processor, as applicable, of any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay GoPursue the amount that is specified in the payment plan in accordance with the terms of such plan and these Terms of Service. If you dispute any charges you must let GoPursue know within sixty (60) days after the date that GoPursue charges you. We reserve the right to change GoPursue’s prices. If GoPursue does change prices, GoPursue will provide notice of the change through the Service user interface, a pop-up notice, email, or through other reasonable means, at GoPursue’s option, at least thirty (30) days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. You will be responsible for all taxes associated with the Service, other than taxes based on GoPursue’s net income.
If your payment plan for any portion of the Services made available for any fee includes an ongoing subscription that is automatically renewed periodically, you authorize GoPursue (through its Payment Processor) to bill your payment instrument in advance on such periodic basis in accordance with the terms of the applicable payment plan until you terminate your account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred. As stated above, we reserve the right to change GoPursue’s prices, and your continued subscription after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount.
Notwithstanding any amounts owed to GoPursue hereunder, GOPURSUE DOES NOT PROCESS PAYMENT FOR ANY SERVICES. To facilitate payment for the Service via bank account, credit card, or debit card, we use third-party payment processors (collectively, “Payment Processors”).

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, users that use the payment functions of the Service also agree to be bound by the applicable Payment Processor Agreement for the payment function the user is using, as the same may be modified by the applicable Payment Processor from time to time. You hereby authorize the applicable Payment Processor to store and continue billing your specified payment method even after such payment method has expired, to avoid interruptions in payment for your use of the Service. Please contact the applicable Payment Processor for more information. GoPursue assumes no liability or responsibility for any payments you make through the Service.

This “Arbitration Agreement” covers any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or the Service, except you may assert individual claims in small claims court if eligible. By entering these Terms of Service, you and GoPursue waive the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. The Federal Arbitration Act governs interpretation and enforcement.
YOU AND GOPURSUE AGREE to bring claims only on an individual basis; no class or representative actions or proceedings unless both parties agree otherwise. Relief is limited to what is necessary to resolve the individual claim(s), except as required by law for public injunctive relief.
Contact customer support at hello@gopursue.com. If unresolved, send a certified “Notice of Dispute” to: 2214 Douglas St NE, Washington, DC 20018, describing the nature/basis of the claim and the relief sought. If not resolved within sixty (60) days after receipt, either party may commence arbitration.
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator under the American Arbitration Association’s (AAA) rules, including the Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator must follow these Terms of Service. Hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location; for claims ≤ $10,000, you may choose document-only, telephonic, or in-person hearing per AAA Rules. The arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision.
Arbitration fees are governed by AAA Rules. Any unallocated fees will be split equally, subject to the arbitrator’s determinations regarding ability to pay or prohibitive costs. Attorneys’ fees are governed by AAA Rules.
All aspects of the arbitration, and any ruling, decision, or award, are strictly confidential.
If any term (other than subsection (b) above) is invalid or unenforceable, it will be replaced with an enforceable term closest to the original intent. If subsection (b) is invalid or unenforceable, this Arbitration Agreement is null and void, except as required for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms of Service continues to apply.
If we change this Arbitration Agreement (other than the Notice Address) while you are a user, you may reject the change by sending written notice within thirty (30) days to the Notice Address above; you will then arbitrate under the prior terms.
GoPursue may suspend or terminate your account or use of the Service and remove any content for any reason, including lack of use or violation of these Terms of Service. GoPursue may discontinue the Service at any time. Upon termination, GoPursue may deactivate or delete your account and related information and/or bar further access.
You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users. GoPursue reserves the right, but has no obligation, to be involved in disputes between users.
These Terms of Service (together with incorporated terms) are the entire agreement between you and GoPursue regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements. These Terms are governed by the laws of the District of Columbia, excluding conflicts of law. For disputes not subject to arbitration, you and GoPursue submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the District of Columbia. Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. If any provision is invalid, remaining provisions remain in effect. Any claim related to the Service or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign without restriction. Section titles are for convenience. “Include/including” means “without limitation.” Notices may be sent via email, mail, or displayed within the Service. GoPursue is not in default for delays due to causes beyond its reasonable control (e.g., natural disasters, war, power/network issues).
The Service is made available to the U.S. government with “RESTRICTED RIGHTS.” Use, duplication, or disclosure is subject to 48 CFR 52.227-19 and 48 CFR 252.227-7013 et seq. Access or use by the U.S. government constitutes acknowledgement of our proprietary rights.
