Terms of use

Agreement and eligibility

By purchasing or using Hourly Prep, you agree to these terms and our Privacy Policy. A guardian who purchases access must be at least 18 and authorized to create access for the learner. The service is intended for learners age 13 or older in the United States.

Guardians are responsible for the accuracy of account information and for activity under the household account. Keep access codes and sign-in details private and tell us promptly if you believe they have been compromised.

Annual access

The current family offer is one prepaid 12-month access term for one learner. It is a one-time purchase and does not renew automatically. The access term begins on the purchase date shown on the receipt. Price and tax shown at checkout control your order.

An access code may be redeemed only for the learner connected to that purchase. Codes and accounts may not be sold, transferred, shared between households, or used to provide a commercial tutoring service.

Educational service

Hourly Prep provides study plans, practice, progress estimates, and tutoring support. It does not guarantee a particular test score, admission result, scholarship, or other outcome. Score outlooks are estimates with uncertainty and are not official scores.

AI tutor responses can be incomplete or incorrect. They are learning aids, not official exam guidance. Learners should use the explanations to work through a question and report content that appears wrong or unclear.

Hourly Prep is independent and is not endorsed by or affiliated with College Board or ACT. Third-party names belong to their respective owners.

Acceptable use

You may use Hourly Prep for personal, non-commercial study. You may not:

• copy, scrape, redistribute, sell, or publish our question bank or software;
• share protected test questions or use the service to cheat on a live exam;
• probe, disrupt, bypass, or misuse security or access controls;
• use automated systems to extract content or overload the service; or
• use the tutor to generate harmful, illegal, or abusive content.

Content and account action

Hourly Prep and its licensors retain ownership of the service, software, visual design, and original learning content. Your purchase gives the household a limited, personal right to use the service during the access term; it does not transfer ownership.

We may restrict or suspend access when reasonably necessary to address fraud, security risk, nonpayment, or a material violation of these terms. We will provide notice when practical. Refund eligibility is governed by our Refund Policy and applicable law.

Service availability and liability

We work to keep Hourly Prep accurate and available, but uninterrupted access is not guaranteed. To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided as available, and Hourly Prep is not responsible for decisions made solely on a predicted score or tutor response. Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot legally be limited.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms as the service changes. The current version and effective date will remain posted here. Material changes apply prospectively.
