Client Services Agreement
This Client Services Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between LaunchPoint Consulting LLC ("LaunchPoint," "Company," "we," or "us") and the parent or legal guardian completing the purchase ("Client," "you," or "your") on behalf of the participating student ("Student").
This Agreement becomes effective when the Client accepts these terms during checkout and completes payment for College List Strategy™.
By purchasing this service, the Client acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
1. Scope of Services
College List Strategy™ is an individualized college research and strategy service designed to help juniors and seniors build or refine a thoughtful working college list.
The service includes:
• A detailed Student and Family College Priorities Intake
• Personal review of the Student's academic profile, interests, possible academic direction, college preferences, and family priorities
• Review of the Student's existing college list, when applicable
• Research into colleges that may warrant consideration based on the information provided by Client and Student
• A personalized working list of up to twelve (12) colleges
• Consideration of factors such as academic fit, intended major or program, campus characteristics, location, admissions context, testing policies, and other relevant publicly available information
• A written College List Strategy Brief explaining the recommendations, considerations, questions for further investigation, and suggested next steps
• One optional twenty (20) minute virtual review call to clarify the written recommendations and answer questions directly related to the College List Strategy Brief
The purpose of this service is to provide Client and Student with informed, individualized guidance to support their own college research and decision-making.
The final decision regarding which colleges to research, visit, apply to, or attend remains solely with Client and Student.

3. Information and Research
LaunchPoint's recommendations are based on information provided by Client and Student together with publicly available information reasonably available at the time the research is conducted.
College admissions policies, testing requirements, academic programs, application deadlines, tuition, scholarships, financial-aid policies, and other institutional information may change at any time.
LaunchPoint will make reasonable efforts to use accurate and current information, but Client and Student are responsible for confirming all requirements, deadlines, policies, costs, program details, and other important information directly with each college before applying or making enrollment decisions.
LaunchPoint does not control information published by colleges, universities, testing organizations, or other third parties and is not responsible for errors, omissions, or subsequent changes in third-party information.
4. Fees, Payment, Cancellation, and Refunds
Client agrees to pay the fee in effect at the time College List Strategy™ is purchased.
Payment is due in full at the time of purchase.
Because this service requires individualized analysis and research, College List Strategy™ becomes nonrefundable once the completed Student and Family College Priorities Intake has been submitted and LaunchPoint has begun reviewing or researching the Student's college options.
If Client requests cancellation before submitting the completed intake, the request may be submitted to LaunchPoint in writing and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Once individualized research or analysis has begun, no refund, partial refund, credit, or transfer is guaranteed if Client or Student later chooses not to complete or use the service.
If LaunchPoint is unable to provide the purchased service due to circumstances within LaunchPoint's control, LaunchPoint may offer a reasonable alternative, service credit, or refund for the portion of the service that has not been completed.
5. No Guarantee of Admission, Scholarship, or Outcome
Client and Student acknowledge that College List Strategy™ provides research, analysis, and educational consulting only.
LaunchPoint does not promise, predict, warrant, or guarantee:
• Admission or acceptance to any college, university, major, or academic program
• Denial or rejection from any institution
• Scholarship eligibility or receipt
• Merit-aid or financial-aid eligibility or amount
• The accuracy of any admission category such as "reach," "target," "likely," "safety," or similar terminology
• That any particular college will ultimately be the right personal, academic, social, or financial fit for the Student
• Any particular admissions, enrollment, academic, career, financial, or educational outcome
Admissions decisions are made solely by the colleges and universities to which the Student applies and depend on numerous factors beyond LaunchPoint's control.
The fee paid to LaunchPoint is for the research, analysis, recommendations, and consulting services described in this Agreement, not for any particular outcome.
6. Client and Student Responsibilities
Client and Student agree to provide complete and accurate information to the best of their knowledge.
Client and Student are responsible for:
• Completing the required intake thoroughly and accurately
• Providing relevant academic, testing, extracurricular, interest, preference, and college-list information requested by LaunchPoint
• Informing LaunchPoint of important priorities or limitations that may affect college recommendations
• Reviewing the College List Strategy Brief carefully
• Conducting additional research into recommended colleges
• Verifying admissions requirements, application deadlines, academic programs, costs, scholarships, and other material information directly with each institution
• Making all final decisions regarding college research, visits, applications, enrollment, and financial commitments
LaunchPoint's recommendations depend substantially on the quality and completeness of the information Client and Student provide.
If important information is omitted, inaccurate, or changes after the research is completed, the recommendations may no longer reflect the Student's circumstances.
7. Optional Review Call
College List Strategy™ includes one optional twenty (20) minute virtual review call.
The purpose of the call is to clarify the written College List Strategy Brief and answer reasonable questions directly related to the recommendations provided.
The call is not intended to serve as an additional college research session, extended counseling appointment, application strategy session, financial-aid consultation, or unlimited opportunity to add or research additional colleges.
If Client chooses not to schedule or attend the optional review call, no refund or credit will be provided.
Any additional consulting requested beyond the included call may be subject to availability and additional fees.
