IV - Subscription Plans, Billing, and Automatic Renewal

  1. 1.
    Subscription Plans. RecruitPathIQ offers subscription tiers, including Starter, Recruit, Elite, and Team plans, at the pricing displayed on the Service at the time of purchase. Pricing and included features are subject to change for new subscribers at RecruitPathIQ's sole discretion. Pricing locked at signup for existing subscribers shall remain in effect for the duration of continuous subscription.
  2. 2.
    Automatic Renewal and Recurring Billing.
    1. a.
      Monthly Subscriptions. By selecting a monthly subscription plan, you authorize RecruitPathIQ to automatically charge the payment method on file on a recurring monthly basis, beginning on the date of initial purchase and continuing on the same day of each subsequent month (or the last day of the month if no corresponding day exists) until you cancel the subscription. Your monthly subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date.
    2. b.
      Annual Subscriptions. By selecting an annual subscription plan, you authorize RecruitPathIQ to charge the payment method on file once, in advance, for a 12-month term. Annual subscriptions include one month at no additional charge (the annual price reflects 11 months of the applicable monthly rate). At the end of the 12-month term, your annual subscription will automatically renew for successive 12-month terms at the then-current annual rate unless you cancel before the renewal date.
    3. c.
      Affirmative Consent to Auto-Renewal. By completing your purchase and checking the box acknowledging automatic renewal, you expressly consent to automatic renewal of your subscription and authorize RecruitPathIQ to charge your payment method automatically at each renewal without further action by you.
    4. d.
      Advance Notice of Renewal. RecruitPathIQ will send you an email reminder at least fifteen (15) days before your subscription renews, notifying you of the upcoming renewal, the amount to be charged, and instructions for canceling if you do not wish to renew. It is your responsibility to ensure that your email address on file is current and that you review renewal notices.
    5. e.
      Price Changes. RecruitPathIQ reserves the right to change subscription prices at any time. Price changes will apply to new subscribers immediately and to renewing subscribers at the next renewal date. RecruitPathIQ will provide at least thirty (30) days' advance notice of any price increase affecting your renewal.
  3. 3.
    Payment Authorization. By providing a payment method, you authorize RecruitPathIQ and its third-party payment processors to charge all subscription fees, taxes, and other charges incurred in connection with your use of the Service. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use the payment method provided.
  4. 4.
    Non-Refundable Payments.
    1. a.
      Monthly Subscriptions. Monthly subscription fees are non-refundable. If you cancel a monthly subscription, cancellation stops future billing only. You will retain access to the Service through the end of the billing period already paid for, and no partial refunds will be issued for any unused portion of a monthly billing period.
    2. b.
      Annual Subscriptions. Annual subscription fees are fully paid in advance and are non-refundable upon processing, except where required by applicable law. If you cancel an annual subscription before the end of the 12-month term, you will retain access to the Service through the end of the term already paid for, but no partial or prorated refund will be issued for the unused portion of the term. Subscribers who are uncertain about committing to an annual term are encouraged to select monthly billing.
  5. 5.
    Cancellation.
    1. a.
      Cancellation Process. You may cancel your subscription at any time through the self-service cancellation feature in your account settings or by contacting RecruitPathIQ customer support at hello@recruitpathiq.com. To avoid charges for the next billing period or renewal term, you must cancel before the renewal date.
    2. b.
      Effect of Cancellation. Cancellation is effective at the end of the then-current billing period (for monthly subscriptions) or term (for annual subscriptions). Upon cancellation, your right to use the Service will terminate at the end of the paid period, and you will not be charged for subsequent periods.
    3. c.
      Cancellation Confirmation. RecruitPathIQ will provide an email confirmation upon receipt of your cancellation request.
  6. 6.
    Failed Payments and Account Suspension. If a scheduled payment cannot be processed due to insufficient funds, expired card, or other payment method failure, RecruitPathIQ may suspend access to the Service until payment is resolved. RecruitPathIQ will attempt to notify you by email prior to suspension and will attempt to process the payment again. You remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. If payment is not resolved within fifteen (15) days, RecruitPathIQ may terminate your account.
  7. 7.
    Chargebacks and Payment Disputes.
    1. a.
      Pre-Dispute Resolution Requirement. You agree to contact RecruitPathIQ customer support at hello@recruitpathiq.com to resolve any billing dispute or request a refund (where applicable) before initiating a payment dispute or chargeback with your financial institution or credit card issuer. RecruitPathIQ is committed to working with you in good faith to resolve billing issues.
    2. b.
      Improper Chargebacks. Initiating a chargeback without first attempting to resolve the issue with RecruitPathIQ, or initiating a chargeback for services that were provided in accordance with these Terms, constitutes a breach of this Agreement and may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account, forfeiture of access to the Service, and collection efforts for amounts owed, including chargeback fees and collection costs.
    3. c.
      Chargeback Fees. If you initiate a chargeback, you agree to reimburse RecruitPathIQ for any chargeback fees, administrative costs, and collection costs incurred by RecruitPathIQ, in addition to any amounts owed for Service fees.
    4. d.
      Dispute Resolution. All billing disputes are subject to the dispute resolution and arbitration provisions set forth in Article XIV. By agreeing to arbitration, you waive any right to pursue a chargeback through your financial institution for disputes covered by the arbitration agreement, except as required by applicable law or card network rules.
  8. 8.
    Taxes. All fees are exclusive of applicable federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, levies, or duties. You are responsible for payment of all such taxes, except for taxes based on RecruitPathIQ's net income.

V - NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA Compliance

  1. 1.

You are solely responsible for the content, timing, and compliance of all communications sent using drafts generated by the Service.
  4. 4.
    Informational Content Only. RecruitPathIQ may provide general informational content about recruiting timelines, rules, and processes.

  5. 5.
    No Guarantees. Nothing in the Service guarantees, implies, or promises that use of the Service will result in being recruited, receiving an athletic scholarship offer, being admitted to any institution, or playing for any athletic program. Recruiting outcomes depend on numerous factors outside RecruitPathIQ's control.

This license terminates when you delete User Content or close your account, except that RecruitPathIQ may retain and use User Content to the extent necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce this Agreement.
  4. 4.
    No Sale of User Content. RecruitPathIQ will not sell User Content to third parties for marketing purposes.

  1. 1.
    Third-Party Services. Use of certain features of the Service may require you to create accounts with third-party providers (e.g., Google for a dedicated recruiting email and YouTube channel, social media platforms for monitoring publicly available information). These third-party accounts are governed solely by the applicable third party's terms of service and privacy policy, not by these Terms.
  2. 2.
    No Responsibility for Third Parties. RecruitPathIQ is not responsible for the availability, performance, accuracy, security, privacy practices, or policies of any third-party service. You access and use third-party services at your own risk.
  3. 3.
    Public Information Only. Where the Service references social media monitoring, such monitoring is limited to publicly available information and is subject to the terms of service of the applicable platform. RecruitPathIQ does not access private or non-public information without authorization. You are responsible for ensuring that any information you authorize RecruitPathIQ to access complies with applicable third-party terms of service.
  4. 4.
    No Endorsement. RecruitPathIQ's reference to or integration with any third-party service does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of such service.

XIV - Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH RECRUITPATHIQ AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

  1. 1.
    Informal Dispute Resolution Requirement. Before filing any formal claim or initiating arbitration, you agree to first contact RecruitPathIQ at hello@recruitpathiq.com to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. You must provide a written description of the dispute, the relief requested, and your contact information. RecruitPathIQ will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days. If the dispute is not resolved within that time, either party may proceed to arbitration as set forth below.
  2. 2.
    Binding Arbitration Agreement. Except as provided in Section VI below, you and RecruitPathIQ agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, your use of the Service, or the relationship between you and RecruitPathIQ (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory) (each, a "Dispute") will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS (Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services) in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the "JAMS Rules"), as modified by this Article XIV. The JAMS Rules are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration or by calling JAMS at 1-800-352-5267.
  3. 3.
    Arbitration Procedures.
    1. a.
      Initiation. A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written demand for arbitration as specified in the JAMS Rules.
    2. b.
      Arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve all Disputes, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement, except that disputes concerning the Class Action Waiver in Section V may be resolved by a court as provided therein.
    3. c.
      Location. The arbitration will be conducted in Clark County, Nevada, or at another location mutually agreed upon by the parties or as determined by the arbitrator.
    4. d.
      Governing Rules. The arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., and not by any state arbitration law. The arbitrator will apply the substantive law of the State of Nevada, without regard to conflict of laws principles, and may award any relief that would be available in court, including injunctive or declaratory relief, statutory damages, and attorneys' fees and costs to the extent authorized by law.
    5. e.
      Hearing and Decision. The arbitrator will conduct a hearing (in person or by telephone or video conference) only if either party requests one or the arbitrator determines it is necessary. The arbitrator will issue a written decision with findings of fact and conclusions of law.
    6. f.
      Confidentiality. The arbitration proceedings, including any awards, will be kept confidential except as necessary to enforce the award or as required by law.
  4. 4.
    Costs of Arbitration. Each party will bear its own attorneys' fees and costs unless the arbitrator awards fees and costs to the prevailing party as permitted by law.
  5. 5.
    Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver.

YOU AND RECRUITPATHIQ AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND RECRUITPATHIQ AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS, OR CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING. YOU AND RECRUITPATHIQ EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.

If a court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver in this Section V is void or unenforceable for any reason, or that arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth in this Article XIV will be deemed null and void in their entirety, and the parties will be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate Disputes, provided that the jury trial waiver set forth above will remain in effect.

  1. 1.
    Exceptions to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction, provided the action remains in small claims court and proceeds only on an individual basis. Additionally, either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.
  2. 2.
    Opt-Out Right. You have the right to opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to RecruitPathIQ at our mailing address (available on request) or hello@recruitpathiq.com within thirty (30) days of the date you first accept these Terms. Your opt-out notice must include your full name, mailing address, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you opt out, you will not be bound by the arbitration provisions in this Article XIV, but all other terms of this Agreement will continue to apply.

XV - Governing Law and Jurisdiction

  1. 1.
    Governing Law. These Terms and any Dispute between you and RecruitPathIQ (whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
  2. 2.
    Exclusive Jurisdiction and Venue. To the extent that arbitration does not apply (including claims filed in small claims court, actions for injunctive relief for intellectual property infringement, or if you have validly opted out of arbitration), you agree that any judicial proceeding will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada. You and RecruitPathIQ consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objection to jurisdiction or venue, including any objection based on inconvenient forum.

14 - GOOGLE ACCOUNT DATA AND GMAIL ACCESS

This Article describes how RecruitPathIQ accesses and uses data from a Student's Google Account. It applies only when a Student chooses to connect a Google Account to the Platform. Connecting a Google Account is optional; the Platform is usable without it, and a Student who does not connect one simply does not receive the coach-email features described below.

  1. I.
    Permissions We Request.
    1. A.
      When a Student connects a Google Account, Google asks them to grant the following permissions, and only these:
      1. 1.
        Create and update email drafts, and send email, from the Student's own Gmail account (the "compose" permission). This is what allows the Platform to place a coach outreach email into the Student's Drafts folder for review, and to send it when the Student chooses to send it.
      2. 2.
        Read the Student's Gmail messages (the "read" permission). This is used solely to look at the message threads created by outreach the Platform itself sent, in order to detect a reply from a coach or a delivery failure (a "bounce").
      3. 3.
        Create and manage files that the Platform itself creates in the Student's Google Drive (the "drive.file" permission). This permission does not give the Platform access to any other file in the Student's Drive.
    2. B.
      We deliberately do NOT request permission to modify Gmail labels or settings, or any broader access to the Google Account than the permissions listed above.
  2. II.
    Email Is Sent From the Student's Own Account, By the Student.
    1. A.
      Coach outreach email is composed in, and sent from, the Student's own Gmail account. RecruitPathIQ does not send this email from its own systems or its own domain, and the Student is the sender of record.
    2. B.
      No outreach email is sent automatically. A draft is prepared for the Student, and the email leaves the Student's account only when the Student affirmatively chooses to send it.
    3. C.
      A Parent or guardian with access to the Student's account may create and edit outreach drafts on the Student's behalf, but may NOT send them. Sending is restricted to the Student and to helper profiles the Student has authorized on their own account.
    4. D.
      Every outreach email sent through the Platform carries a short visible line identifying that it was sent using RecruitPathIQ, together with a hidden technical identifier used to match replies back to the correct draft. Neither is concealed from the Student, and both are described in the Platform's own settings.
  3. III.
    Google Data We Store.
    1. A.
      From a connected Google Account we store only what the features require:
      1. 1.
        Access and refresh credentials for the Google Account, held so that drafting and reply monitoring can continue without asking the Student to sign in repeatedly;
      2. 2.
        Identifiers for the drafts, messages and message threads the Platform itself created;
      3. 3.
        For replies to Platform outreach: the sender's name and email address, the subject line, the date received, and the full text of the reply message itself;
      4. 4.
        For delivery failures: the fact of the failure, its stated reason, and the date.
    2. B.
      We do not copy, index, or store the full contents of the Student's mailbox, and we do not read message threads other than those created by outreach sent through the Platform.
  4. IV.
    How Google Data Is Used, and the Limits On That Use.
    1. A.
      Data obtained from a Student's Google Account is used only to provide and improve the user-facing features the Student connected it for, namely:
      1. 1.
        Preparing, updating and sending coach outreach email at the Student's direction, including replies the Student writes within an existing email conversation;
      2. 2.
        Showing the Student which of their outreach emails received a reply and which failed to be delivered;
      3. 3.
        Generating a suggestion to the Student about how and when to follow up.
    2. B.
      To generate the follow-up suggestion described above, the coach's name and email address, the subject line, and the short message preview are transmitted to a third-party artificial-intelligence provider that acts as our service provider. That provider processes the information to produce the suggestion and is not permitted to use it to train generalized artificial-intelligence models.
    3. C.
      We affirmatively commit that data obtained from a Student's Google Account is NOT:
      1. 1.
        Used or transferred for advertising, marketing, or any form of targeted or personalized advertising;
      2. 2.
        Sold, rented, or licensed to any party;
      3. 3.
        Used to train generalized or standalone artificial-intelligence models;
      4. 4.
        Used for creditworthiness or lending decisions;
      5. 5.
        Read by any RecruitPathIQ employee, except with the Student's or Parent's explicit permission for a specific support request, where required by law, to investigate a security incident or abuse, or in aggregated and anonymized form for internal reliability measurement.
    4. D.
      These limits apply in addition to, and do not narrow, every other protection this Policy provides for Student Data.
  5. V.
    Disconnecting and Deletion.
    1. A.
      A Student or Parent may disconnect the Google Account from the Platform at any time in the Platform's Settings, and may independently revoke the Platform's access from the Google Account security settings at myaccount.google.com. Either action stops all further access.
    2. B.
      On disconnection we delete the stored Google credentials. Reply and delivery-failure records already shown in the Student's own account history are retained under the retention rules in Article 6 of this Policy, because they are part of the Student's own recruiting record; a Student or Parent may request their deletion under Article 12.
    3. C.
      Disconnecting does not delete or recall email the Student has already sent, which resides in the Student's own Gmail account and is outside RecruitPathIQ's control.
  6. VI.
    Relationship to Google's Terms.
    1. A.
      RecruitPathIQ's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
    2. B.
      The Student's Google Account itself is governed by Google's own terms of service and privacy policy, not by this Policy. Where a Student is under 18, we encourage Parents to review the guidance in Article 4 regarding supervision of third-party accounts.

Children

Children's Privacy (COPPA)

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without first obtaining verifiable parental consent, as required by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Registration is age-gated, and no account is created for a child under 13 until a parent or guardian has consented.

Parents of children under 13 can review the information collected, request corrections or deletion, refuse further collection, and revoke consent at any time. The full requirements, consent methods, and parental rights are set out in both documents.

Education records

FERPA & Education Records

When a school provides or authorizes the disclosure of education records, RecruitPathIQ may process those records as a School Official with a legitimate educational interest under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). We use education records only as directed by the school and protect them with appropriate safeguards.

Eligible students and parents retain their FERPA rights to inspect, review, and request amendment of education records. Requests concerning records provided by a school should be directed to that school.

Tracking

Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies to remember preferences, authenticate users, and analyze how the platform performs. You can control cookie settings through your browser, though disabling them may limit functionality.

Usage information is not used to personally identify students except when combined with information you have voluntarily provided. We do not serve third-party advertising or use persistent identifiers to track children for behavioral advertising.

Billing

Payments & Billing

Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Monthly plans bill each month; annual plans bill once for a 12-month term (with one month included at no additional charge) and then renew annually. We email a renewal reminder at least 15 days before each renewal.

Monthly and annual fees are non-refundable, but cancelling stops future billing and you keep access through the end of the period already paid for. Please contact support to resolve any billing issue before initiating a chargeback.

Integrations

Third-Party Services

The platform integrates with and links to third-party services (for example, email and cloud providers, and college or athletic-organization websites). Those services operate under their own terms and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

Service providers who process data on our behalf are bound by contract to use it only for the services we request, protect it, and comply with applicable privacy laws. We do not sell personal data.
