Terms of Service

Last updated: May 15, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Conari at conari.ai, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our service. These terms apply to all users, including free and paid subscribers.

2. Description of Service

Conari is an AI-powered college admissions platform that provides tools including essay feedback, school recommendations, application tracking, and strategic admissions advice. Our AI features are powered by Anthropic's Claude models. Conari is an educational tool — it does not guarantee admission to any college or university.

3. User Accounts

You must create an account to use Conari. You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
  • All activity that occurs under your account
  • Providing accurate information when creating your account
  • Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized account access

Age and parental consent.You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under 18 (a “minor”), you may only use Conari with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. By creating an account as a minor, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed these Terms and consents to your use of the service. Parents and guardians may contact [email protected] at any time to review the information associated with their child's account or to request deletion of the account.

4. Subscription Plans & Payment

Conari offers free and paid subscription plans. Paid plans are billed monthly through Stripe. By subscribing to a paid plan, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis at the listed rate.

  • Free plan: 3 lifetime AI requests, 1 AI essay review, tracking for up to 5 schools, university search and filter, and the admission chances calculator. No credit card required.
  • Pro plan: 100 AI requests per month, 10 essay reviews per month, unlimited school tracking, plus the Essay Rewriter, Gap Analyzer, Counselor Brief, AI Resume Feedback, Application Roadmap, and Decision Advisor tools.
  • Premium plan: Everything in Pro plus 300 AI requests per month, 30 essay reviews per month, AO Simulator, Scholarship Essay Writer, AI Consultant, Interview Prep, and Scholarship Finder.

Current prices for each plan are listed at conari.ai/pricing. Quotas on paid plans reset monthly on your billing date. Free-plan AI requests and essay reviews are lifetime allotments — once used they do not reset.

Automatic renewal — please read

Your subscription will automatically continue and renew at the listed rate for each billing period until you cancel. You can cancel anytime from Dashboard → Settings → Billing in one click — no phone call required.

For any annual subscription plans we may offer in the future, we will send you a renewal reminder by email at least 7 days before the renewal date. For monthly plans, your bill posts on the same day each month at the price disclosed at sign-up; we will email you in advance of any price change before it takes effect.

You may cancel your subscription at any time from Dashboard → Settings → Billing. Cancellation is scheduled to take effect at the end of your current billing period — you retain full paid-plan access until that date, after which the account auto-moves to the Free plan with no further charges.

We do not provide refunds for past charges. If something went genuinely wrong (duplicate charge, unauthorized access, service outage that prevented use), contact us at [email protected] and we'll review the situation case-by-case.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use Conari for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any regulations
  • Share your account with others or resell access to our service
  • Submit content that is false, misleading, or violates others' rights
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, scrape, or otherwise extract our AI models or data
  • Use automated tools to make excessive API requests beyond plan limits
  • Submit malicious code or attempt to compromise our systems
  • Misrepresent AI-generated content as entirely your own in official applications (where prohibited by the institution)

6. AI-Generated Content

Conari's AI tools provide suggestions, feedback, and drafts to assist your college application process. You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and deciding whether to use any AI-generated content. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or fitness of AI outputs. Always verify information with official sources (college websites, counselors) before submitting applications.

6.1 We do not train AI models on your content

Conari does notuse your essays, profile information, application data, or any other content you submit to the service to train, fine-tune, or otherwise improve any AI model — neither our own (we do not train models) nor any third party's. Our AI features are powered by Anthropic's Claude API under a commercial agreement that prohibits Anthropic from using Conari customer-submitted content to train its models. Your content is processed only to generate the response you requested and is not made available to model providers for training purposes.

7. Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of the content you create on Conari (essays, notes, personal information). By using our service, you grant Conari a limited license to process and store your content solely to provide the service.

The Conari platform, including its design, code, and AI tools, is owned by Conari and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of our platform without permission.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

Conari is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or accuracy of results. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI outputs will be accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular use. College admissions outcomes depend on many factors outside our control — Conari makes no guarantees regarding admission results.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Conari and its founders, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of the service, including but not limited to loss of data, lost profits, loss of goodwill, or any admissions outcomes, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total cumulative liability for any and all claims arising from or related to the service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the three (3) months preceding the claim, or (b) US$100.

10. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account for violation of these terms, fraudulent activity, or any conduct we determine to be harmful to the platform or other users. You may delete your account at any time via account settings or by contacting us.

Data retention on termination. Upon account termination, whether by you or by us, we will delete your personal data within 30 days (with up to an additional 35 days for purging from encrypted backups), except where retention is required by law — for example, payment and billing records are retained for 7 years to satisfy US federal and state tax and accounting requirements (including IRS recordkeeping rules), and email suppression entries (bounce / complaint addresses) are retained to protect deliverability for other users. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

11. Governing Law, Arbitration & Class-Action Waiver

Governing law. These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or related to them or to your use of Conari are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. For any matter not subject to arbitration below, you and Conari agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California.

Informal resolution first (30-day notice). Before initiating arbitration, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] with a written description of your dispute, your name, your account email, and the relief you are seeking, and to give us 30 days to attempt to resolve the matter informally. If we have a dispute with you, we will send a similar notice to the email address on your account. Arbitration may be initiated only if the dispute is not resolved within 30 days after the notice is received.

Binding arbitration. Except as set out below, you and Conari agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect (available at adr.org). The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. The seat of arbitration will be San Francisco County, California, but proceedings may be conducted by telephone, video conference, or written submissions, and you may appear in person at a location reasonably convenient to you. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class-action waiver. You and Conari each agree that any dispute will be brought in your or our individual capacity only, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. If this class-action waiver is held unenforceable as to any particular claim or remedy, then that claim or remedy (and only that claim or remedy) will be severed and brought in the courts identified above, and the rest of these arbitration provisions will remain in force.

Small-claims court carve-out. Either you or Conari may bring an individual action in small claims court for any dispute that qualifies under the rules of that court, instead of arbitration, as long as the action remains in that court and on an individual (non-class) basis.

30-day arbitration opt-out. You may opt out of the binding arbitration and class-action waiver provisions of this Section 11 by sending a written notice to [email protected] with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out”, including your name, account email, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms(or, if you are an existing user, within 30 days of the “Last updated” date above). Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the courts identified at the top of this Section.

12. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes — for example, changes to fees, the arbitration clause, or the scope of the license you grant us — we will notify you by email to the address on your account and/or by an in-product notice at least 30 days before the changes take effect. For non-material changes(typo fixes, clarifications, references to new features that do not change your rights or obligations), the updated Terms take effect immediately upon posting and we will update the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of Conari after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to a material change, your remedy is to stop using the service and cancel any paid subscription before the change takes effect.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Conari, its founders, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or related to: (a) any content you submit to or through the service, including essays, profile information, and uploads; (b) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law or regulation; (c) your violation of any rights of a third party, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights; or (d) your misuse of the service. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense of that matter. You will not settle any matter that affects Conari without our prior written consent.

15. DMCA / Copyright Infringement

Conari respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”).

Designated agent. If you believe content on Conari infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to our designated agent at [email protected] with the subject line “DMCA Notice”.

To be effective under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)), your notice must include all of the following:

  • A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works, a representative list);
  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it (e.g., a URL);
  • Your contact information — full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  • A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Counter-notices and repeat infringers. If we remove content in response to a DMCA notice, we will notify the affected user, who may submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). We will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of users we determine to be repeat infringers. Knowingly submitting a false DMCA notice or counter-notice may subject you to liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

16. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies we link to from the service, constitute the entire agreement between you and Conari with respect to the service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, communications, and agreements (whether oral or written) on that subject. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision; no waiver is effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Conari. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
