Terms of Service

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service are a contract between you and Kalasam LLC, a Texas limited liability company, trading as Tejas Test Prep ("Tejas Test Prep", "we", "us"). They govern your use of tejastestprep.com, the study portal, our tools and diagnostics, and our courses, whether delivered in person or online (together, the "Services").

By using the Services, or by enrolling a student, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

If you are enrolling a student under 18, you are contracting as the parent or guardian, you agree to these Terms on your own behalf and on the student's, and you are responsible for the student's compliance with them. A student under 18 may not enroll on their own.

Enrolling also incorporates our Tuition, Cancellation & Refund Policy and our Privacy Policy, which form part of this agreement.

2. What we provide

A Tejas Test Prep cohort as described on this site consists of:

• a sixteen-week program of instruction in the enrolled subject;
• eighteen to twenty live sessions, in person in the Dallas–Fort Worth area or live online, as selected at enrollment;
• thirty full-length practice examinations — ten proctored and timed, twenty self-proctored and available in the portal throughout;
• access to the course's modules, practice sets and written explanations through the study portal for twelve months from the cohort start;
• score and skill analytics after each full-length examination.

We may adjust the order of topics, the specific content of a session, or the timing of an examination where doing so serves the cohort. We will not reduce the number of live sessions or examinations below the figures above without offering you a pro-rata refund of the difference or an equivalent substitute.

Course materials are ours, authored in house. They are not licensed from a textbook publisher and they are not the property of any testing agency.

3. Enrollment and seats

Submitting the enrollment form is a request for a seat, not a completed purchase. No payment is taken on the form. A seat is confirmed only when we email you a written confirmation stating the term, the format and the tuition. Until that email arrives, you owe us nothing and we owe you nothing.

Cohorts are capped. Where a term is full we will offer a waitlist place, which carries no obligation on either side.

Exact start dates for a named term are confirmed roughly three months ahead and emailed to everyone holding a seat or a waitlist place. If a confirmed date does not work for you, you may move to another term or cancel for a full refund under the Refund Policy.

We may decline an enrollment, or end one, where we reasonably conclude that we cannot serve the student well — for example where the student's needs are outside what the course can address. If we do that after you have paid, we refund in full, without applying the schedule in the Refund Policy.

4. Your portal account

• An account is issued to one named student and is for that student only.
• Do not share your credentials. You are responsible for activity under your account, and for telling us promptly at admin@tejastestprep.com if you believe it has been used by someone else.
• We may suspend an account we reasonably believe is being shared, scraped, or used to extract course content in bulk. Where we do, we will tell you why and give you a chance to respond.
• Portal access runs for twelve months from the cohort start date. We will give at least 30 days' notice before access ends, and will make a student's own analytics available for download before it does.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• copy, download in bulk, republish, resell, or distribute our lessons, questions, explanations, exams or analytics, in any medium;
• record a live session, in whole or in part, without our written permission (we will usually give it for a student's own revision, and never for distribution);
• use automated means to scrape, crawl or extract content from the portal;
• use our materials to build, train, fine-tune or evaluate a machine learning model, or to create a competing product or course;
• reverse engineer or attempt to defeat any access control;
• impersonate another student, or let another person sit an examination or complete work in a student's name;
• behave abusively, threateningly, or in a discriminatory way toward an instructor or another student, in a session or in any channel we run.

We may end enrollment immediately for a serious or repeated breach of this section. Where we do, the refund treatment in the Refund Policy applies.

6. Intellectual property

All course content — lessons, modules, practice questions, full-length examinations, written explanations, figures, the analytics engine, this website and its design — is owned by Tejas Test Prep or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other laws. "Tejas Test Prep" and our logo are our trademarks.

On confirmation of enrollment we grant the enrolled student a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the materials for that student's own preparation, for as long as their portal access runs. That is the whole of the license. Nothing else is granted, by implication or otherwise.

Third-party marks. SAT, PSAT/NMSQT and Advanced Placement are registered trademarks of the College Board. ACT is a registered trademark of ACT, Inc. National Merit and NMSQT are registered trademarks of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. None of these organizations sponsors, endorses, is affiliated with, or has reviewed Tejas Test Prep or its materials. We use their names only to identify the examinations we prepare students for.

Feedback. If you send us suggestions for improving the course, we may use them without obligation to you. We will not attribute a suggestion to you publicly without asking.

Copyright complaints. If you believe material on this site infringes your copyright, write to admin@tejastestprep.com with the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), and we will respond.

7. No score guarantee

We do not guarantee any score, any score increase, any National Merit designation, or any admissions outcome, and nothing on this site should be read as doing so.

A student's result depends on their starting point, the work they put in, their attendance, factors on the day of the test, and the scoring decisions of the College Board or ACT — most of which are outside our control and all of which are outside our promise. What we commit to is the instruction, the materials and the examinations described in section 2, delivered competently.

Any scores, gains or outcomes shown on this site are described where they appear. Where a quote or figure is illustrative rather than a verified result, it is labeled as such on the page. Results vary, and an individual result is not a prediction of yours.

8. Registering for the actual examinations

Registering for the SAT, PSAT/NMSQT or ACT, paying their fees, meeting their deadlines, applying for testing accommodations, and complying with their rules on the day are the student's and family's responsibility, not ours. We will remind you of deadlines and help you prepare the accommodation paperwork, but we cannot register a student, cannot obtain accommodations on your behalf, and are not responsible for a missed registration deadline.

9. Tuition and payment

Tuition for a term is the amount stated in your written confirmation. Payment terms, installment options, cancellation and refunds are set out in the Tuition, Cancellation & Refund Policy, which is part of this agreement.

We are not currently publishing tuition on this website. The figure in your written confirmation is the figure that binds both of us for that term.

10. Disclaimers

We provide the Services with reasonable care and skill. Beyond that, and to the fullest extent the law allows, the Services are provided "as is" and we disclaim all other warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the site or portal will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that every question and explanation is free of error. If you find an error in our materials, tell us — we correct them, and we would rather know.

The free tools on this site (the diagnostic, the score finder, the test chooser) are guides, not assessments. They do not predict an official score and should not be relied on as the only basis for a decision about a student's preparation.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or anything else that cannot be limited under Texas law. Some states do not allow certain exclusions, in which case the exclusions in this section apply only to the extent that state permits.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject to the paragraph above:

• Neither party is liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost opportunities, or lost admissions outcomes, even if advised such damages were possible.
• Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Services is limited to the tuition you actually paid us for the term in which the claim arose.

These limits allocate risk between us and are reflected in what we charge. They apply regardless of the theory of liability.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your breach of section 5 (Acceptable use) or section 6 (Intellectual property), including reasonable legal costs. This does not apply to a claim arising from our own conduct, and we will tell you promptly of any claim, let you control the defense of it, and not settle it without your consent.

13. Ending this agreement

You may cancel an enrollment at any time under the Refund Policy. We may end an enrollment for a serious breach of section 5, for non-payment after written notice and 10 days to cure, or where we conclude under section 3 that we cannot serve the student well.

Sections 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 15 survive the end of this agreement.

14. Resolving disputes

14.1 Talk to us first

If you have a problem, email admin@tejastestprep.com with the word "Dispute" in the subject and a description of what you want. We will respond within 10 business days and try in good faith to resolve it for 30 days. Most things end here. Neither party may start arbitration or a lawsuit until that 30 days has run.

14.2 Arbitration

Please read this section carefully. It affects how claims between us are resolved, and you may opt out of it.

If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The arbitration will be seated in Dallas County, Texas, though you may elect to participate by telephone or video, or to have a documents-only arbitration where the rules allow. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could, including attorney's fees where a statute provides for them.

We will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any claim where the amount in dispute is $25,000 or less.

Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court instead, if it qualifies. Either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or to stop unauthorized access to the portal.

14.3 Class action waiver

Claims are brought individually. You and we each waive the right to bring or participate in a class, collective, consolidated or representative action, and the arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of class proceeding. If this waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court, and the rest of section 14 still applies to every other claim.

14.4 Your right to opt out

You may reject section 14.2 and 14.3 entirely. Email admin@tejastestprep.com with the subject "Arbitration opt-out", giving your name and the student's name, within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms. That is all it takes. Opting out costs you nothing, changes nothing else in this agreement, and will never affect your enrollment, your tuition, or the teaching a student receives. If you opt out, disputes go to the courts identified in section 15.

15. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Where a dispute is not subject to arbitration, the state and federal courts located in Dallas County, Texas have exclusive jurisdiction, and both parties consent to venue there.

If you are a consumer resident in another state, nothing here deprives you of the protection of a mandatory consumer-protection rule of your own state that cannot be derogated from by agreement.

16. General

• Changes. We may update these Terms. For a material change affecting enrolled families we will give at least 14 days' email notice, and the change will not apply retroactively to a dispute that has already arisen. If you do not accept a material change, you may cancel and we will refund the unused portion of your term on a pro-rata basis.
• Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, it is severed and the rest stands.
• No waiver. Not enforcing a provision once does not waive it.
• Assignment. You may not assign this agreement. We may assign it to a successor to the business, on notice to you.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for a failure caused by something genuinely outside its control. If we cannot deliver sessions for such a reason, we will reschedule them, move them online, or refund the affected portion — your choice.
• Entire agreement. These Terms, the Refund Policy, the Privacy Policy and your written enrollment confirmation are the whole agreement between us on their subject matter.
• Notices. To you: the email address on your account. To us: admin@tejastestprep.com. Notice by email is effective; we do not require anything to be posted to us.
