Terms of Service

Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using Ascend Ivy's services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are prohibited from using our services.

Description of Service

Ascend Ivy provides AI-powered essay feedback and optional professional review services for college application essays. Our service is designed to help students improve their own writing through detailed feedback and educational examples.

Important: Our service provides feedback and suggestions to help you improve your essay. You remain solely responsible for the final content you submit to colleges. We do not write essays for students or guarantee admission to any institution.

User Responsibilities

By using our service, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information
• Maintain the security of your account credentials
• Use the service only for lawful purposes
• Submit only your own original essay content
• Use our feedback as educational guidance, not as content to copy verbatim
• Comply with all applicable academic integrity policies of your educational institutions
• Not share, resell, or redistribute our feedback to others

Academic Integrity

Ascend Ivy is committed to supporting academic integrity. Our service is designed to help you improve your own writing skills, similar to working with a tutor or teacher. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of our service complies with your school's academic integrity policies.

The rewritten examples we provide are educational tools to demonstrate writing techniques. You should use them as learning references while maintaining your own authentic voice and ideas in your final essay.

Payment and Refunds

All fees are charged in U.S. dollars and are non-refundable except as follows:

• AI Feedback + Rewrite ($49): You can preview the feedback before purchase. No refunds are provided after purchase.
• AI + Ivy League Expert Review ($349): We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the quality of the professional review. Refund requests must be submitted within 7 days of receiving the professional feedback.

To request a refund, contact us at support@ascendivy.com with your order details and reason for the refund request.

Intellectual Property

You retain all rights to your original essay content. By uploading your essay, you grant us a limited license to process and analyze it for the purpose of providing our services.

The feedback, analysis, and rewritten examples we provide are our intellectual property. You may use them for your personal educational purposes but may not share, sell, or redistribute them.

Limitation of Liability

Ascend Ivy provides educational feedback services but does not guarantee:

• Admission to any college or university
• Specific improvements in essay quality or application outcomes
• That our feedback will meet all requirements of every institution

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ascend Ivy shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use of our services.

Service Availability

We strive to provide reliable service but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of our service at any time.

Turnaround times are estimates and may vary based on demand. Professional reviews typically take 2-3 business days but may take longer during peak application seasons.

Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account and access to our services at our sole discretion, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms of Service or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties.

Changes to Terms

We may revise these Terms of Service at any time. The most current version will always be posted on our website. By continuing to use our services after changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.

Governing Law

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
