Terms of Service · ApplyAI

These terms govern your use of ApplyAI (“the Service”), operated by Vanessa Pinsky in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. By creating an account you agree to them. If you don’t agree, don’t use the Service.

1. What ApplyAI is

ApplyAI is an AI-assisted writing and planning tool for university applications. It gives you suggestions, critiques, and drafts. It does not guarantee admission to any school. Admissions decisions are made by the universities you apply to, based on their own criteria.

2. Your account

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.
You’re responsible for keeping your password secret.
One account per person. Don’t share accounts.
You agree to provide accurate information (e.g. a real email address we can reach you at).

3. Your content

Anything you paste into ApplyAI — essay drafts, resume bullets, grades — stays yours. You own it. We get a narrow, non-exclusive license to process it only so we can run the product for you (store it, send it to the AI model, show it back to you).

You’re responsible for what you submit. Don’t use ApplyAI to generate content that violates another university’s academic integrity policy, to impersonate someone else, or to process content that isn’t yours to process.

4. AI output — the honest disclosure

ApplyAI uses large language models (currently Google Gemini). LLMs can hallucinate, make factual mistakes, or produce output that sounds polished but is wrong. Always review every AI output before you submit it to a real application. We’re a tool, not a guarantor.

Most universities allow AI-assisted editing and feedback. A smaller number prohibit any AI use. It’s your responsibility to check each school’s policy and use ApplyAI accordingly. We recommend treating ApplyAI like a smart tutor, not a ghostwriter.

5. Paid plans, billing, and cancellation

Starter ($3 USD/month), Pro ($20 USD/month), and Masterclass ($55 USD/month) subscriptions renew monthly until cancelled.
You can cancel any time from the billing page or directly from your Stripe customer portal. Cancellation stops the next renewal — you keep access until the end of the period you’ve already paid for.
All purchases are final.We don’t issue refunds on completed charges, including partial-month cancellations and unused capacity. Because we publish detailed monthly caps, free Starter access on signup, and a 50% donation commitment, you have full information up-front before paying.
Free preview: every new account gets the Starter tier’s feature set on signup so you can confirm the product fits before billing kicks in.
Prices may change. We’ll email you at least 14 days before any price increase affects you, and you can cancel before the new price takes effect.
Promotion codes (e.g. discounts shared by ApplyAI) are subject to the conditions set on each code in Stripe and may be revoked at our discretion if abused.

6. Acceptable use

Don’t:

Try to break into or overload the Service (scraping, DDOS, reverse-engineering).
Use ApplyAI for anything illegal or to harass another person.
Automate tool calls to exceed your plan’s quota — we’ll throttle or suspend abusive accounts.
Resell or redistribute access to the Service.

We may suspend or delete accounts that violate these rules. In serious cases (fraud, abuse, chargebacks) we’ll do so without notice.

7. The 1-for-1 promise

When you subscribe to Pro or Masterclass, we fund a free seat for a student from a low-income background (1 seat for Pro, 2 for Masterclass). We verify need on a trust-first basis — no paperwork, no gatekeeping. That’s part of what you’re paying for.

8. Warranty disclaimer

The Service is provided “as is.” We make no warranty that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI output will be accurate. To the fullest extent allowed by law, ApplyAI disclaims all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, ApplyAI’s total liability for any claim related to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) $100 CAD. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages (lost scholarship opportunities, missed deadlines, rejected applications, etc.).

10. Termination

You can close your account any time — email us or use the in-app option. We can terminate your account for violation of these terms. On termination we delete your data within 30 days (except records we’re legally required to keep, like Stripe transaction logs).

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. Any dispute will be resolved in the courts of Toronto, Ontario.

12. Changes to these terms

We’ll email active users at least 7 days before any material change takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the new terms.
