This Website is owned and operated by Adams Harris Consulting, LLC, a California limited liability company ("AHC," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"). Our principal place of business is 2021 Fillmore St., Ste 2167, San Francisco, California 94115.

​

This Disclaimer, together with our Terms and Conditions of Use, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Return and Refund Policy, governs visitor, user, or customer ("user," "users," "you," or "your") access to and use of adamsharrisconsulting.com, including any subdomains, content, functionality, products, and services offered on or through adamsharrisconsulting.com (the "Website"), whether you are a guest or a registered user.

​

Please read this Disclaimer carefully before you start to use the Website. By using the Website or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms and Conditions of Use when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by this Disclaimer. If you do not agree with this Disclaimer, you must not access or use the Website.

​

As used in this Disclaimer, "Resources" means the educational, informational, and digital products we make available on or through the Website, whether free or paid, including (without limitation) blog posts, articles, AI-generated content, downloadable guides, timelines, checklists, courses, webinar replays, community content, and similar materials. Resources are separate from the Services we provide to paying clients under our Terms and Conditions of Use and any applicable services agreement.

​

For Educational and Informational Purposes Only

 

The information contained on this Website and the Resources are for educational and informational purposes only.

 

We work with parents and families. Students are the beneficiaries of our work, and we do not provide services directly to students.

​

Not Legal Advice

 

AHC was founded in part by a licensed attorney, and that training shapes how we work. It is why our process is documented rather than improvised, why we read institutional aid policies, appeal procedures, and published admissions criteria closely, and why we teach families to read them too. Where this Website refers to a founder's legal background, it is describing the professional discipline that informs our approach to college admissions consulting.

​

What it does not mean is that AHC practices law. The information contained on this Website and the Resources are not intended as, and shall not be understood or construed as, legal advice. Members of our team hold professional licenses in fields other than educational consulting, including the practice of law, and those licenses are held individually and not exercised through AHC. Any reference to a founder's legal background on this Website is biographical and is provided to describe experience and credentials. It does not mean that AHC provides legal services, that any member of our team is acting as your attorney, or that any communication with us is protected by the attorney-client privilege. No attorney-client relationship is created by your use of this Website, by your enrollment in any program, or by any communication with us.

 

If your situation calls for legal advice, including any matter involving a contract, a dispute with an institution, a disability accommodation, immigration status, guardianship, or a family law question, you should retain a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction who can advise you on your specific facts. We will tell you plainly when we think a question has crossed that line.

 

Neither AHC nor any of its employees, owners, or contributors shall be held liable or responsible for any errors or omissions on this Website or the Resources, or for any damage you may suffer as a result of failing to seek competent legal advice from a licensed attorney who is familiar with your situation.

​

No Other Professional Advice

 

The Resources are likewise not intended as, and shall not be understood or construed as, tax, accounting, financial, investment, or other professional advice. This applies with particular force to financial aid. Information we provide about the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, the CSS Profile, institutional aid, merit aid, appeals, reconsideration requests, and the cost of attendance is general and educational. It is not individualized financial, tax, or investment advice, and aid formulas, deadlines, and institutional policies change.

​

While our team and contributors may include qualified professionals, the Resources are not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who is aware of the facts and circumstances of your specific situation. We expressly recommend that you consult an appropriate licensed professional before relying on any of the Resources, and we will not be liable for any decision you make in reliance on the Resources without first obtaining such advice.

​

No Professional or Client Relationship

 

Your use of the Website, your interaction with our marketing, sales, or onboarding personnel, your sign-up for any free trial or free Resource, and your use of any free or purchased Resource do not, by themselves, create a professional-client relationship, a fiduciary relationship, or any service or consulting relationship between you and AHC.

​

A binding service relationship arises only when (a) you sign a separate written services agreement with us, (b) you confirm a booking with us and we accept it as described in our Terms and Conditions of Use, or (c) you accept the paid subscription terms set out in our Terms and Conditions of Use.

​

Your Personal Responsibility

 

We want the information on this Website and in the Resources to be genuinely helpful to you. At the same time, every family's situation is unique, and only you can decide what is right for your family. We encourage you to use your own judgment and to do your own research before acting on any plan, recommendation, or strategy you find on this Website or in the Resources. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you are responsible for the decisions you make, the actions you take or choose not to take based on the Website and the Resources, and the results that follow.

​

No Guarantee of Results

 

AHC has not made any guarantees about the results of taking any action recommended on this Website or in the Resources. The Website and Resources are intended to help users succeed in our specific topic area; however, your ultimate success or failure will be the result of your own efforts, your particular situation, and other circumstances beyond our control or knowledge.

​

We do not guarantee admission, aid, or any educational outcome. College admissions and financial aid decisions are made solely by colleges, universities, scholarship providers, and government agencies. Those decisions rest entirely with those institutions and are outside our control. Nothing on this Website, in the Resources, or in any program we offer is a promise, prediction, or guarantee that any student will be admitted to any institution, will receive any scholarship, grant, or financial aid award of any amount, will achieve any test score or grade, or will obtain any placement, internship, or other opportunity.

 

We do not have, and do not claim to have, influence over any admissions or financial aid decision at any institution. We do not submit applications on a student's behalf, and we do not communicate with admissions or financial aid offices as an advocate for a student unless a separate written agreement expressly provides for it.

​

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. The results obtained by other clients or customers using the principles set out in the Resources are not a guarantee that you or any other person or entity will be able to obtain similar results.

​

Financial Outcomes and Savings

 

From time to time, we may describe the experience of a current or former client or family, including amounts a family reduced or avoided in the cost of attendance. While we are committed to portraying such accounts accurately, you acknowledge that the prior experience of others does not guarantee your experience.

​

Any figure we publish describing a reduction in college costs reflects the documented experience of specific families we have worked with, in their particular circumstances, at particular institutions, in a particular award year. It is a description of what happened for them. It is not an estimate, projection, promise, or guarantee of what will happen for you. Your results will depend on your family's finances, your student's academic profile, the institutions on your list, those institutions' own policies and available funds, changes in state and federal aid rules, and other circumstances beyond our control or knowledge.

​

There is no guarantee that you will reduce the cost of attendance at all, or that you will receive any aid, and you accept the risk that outcomes differ by family. The use of our information, products, and services should be based on your own due diligence, and you agree that AHC is not liable for any financial outcome that is directly or indirectly related to the purchase or use of our information, products, or services.

​

Testimonials

 

At various places on this Website, you may find testimonials from clients and customers of the products and services offered on this Website or by AHC. The testimonials are actual statements made by clients or customers and have been truthfully conveyed.

​

Although these testimonials are truthful statements about results obtained by these clients or customers, the results obtained by them are not necessarily typical. You specifically recognize and agree that the testimonials are not a guarantee of results that you or anyone else will obtain by using any products or services offered on this Website or by AHC.

Some testimonials may have been offered in exchange for a benefit, such as a discount, free product, contest entry, or other incentive. Where this is the case, the incentive will be indicated near the testimonial. Regardless of any incentive, all testimonials are from real customers and truthfully reflect their experiences with AHC.

​

Reviews

 

From time to time, we may provide reviews of products, services, or other resources, including reviews of books, tools, test preparation services, or software applications that families may consider using. Any such reviews represent the good-faith opinions of the author. The products and services reviewed may have been provided to AHC for free or at a reduced price as an incentive to provide a review.

​

Regardless of any such discounts or incentives, we provide honest reviews of these products and services. You should conduct your own due diligence and should not rely solely upon any reviews provided on this Website.

 

We will disclose the existence of any discounts or incentives received in exchange for providing a review of a product. If you would like more information about any such discounts or incentives, send an email to info@adamsharrisconsulting.com with the title of the reviewed product as the subject line. We will respond and disclose any incentives or discounts we received in association with the review.

​

Affiliate Links

 

From time to time, AHC may participate in affiliate marketing and may include affiliate links on some pages of the Website. This means we may earn a commission if you click on an affiliate link or make a purchase through an affiliate link.

 

As a policy, we will only affiliate with products, services, and tools that we believe will provide value to the families we serve.

 

Strategic partners are excluded from our affiliate program. When we introduce a client to a strategic partner, which we do only at the client's request or with the client's agreement, we neither pay nor receive any commission, referral fee, revenue share, finder's fee, or other compensation for that introduction. We keep these two things separate deliberately. An introduction we make because we think it will help your family is never an introduction we are paid to make.

We will inform you when one of the links constitutes an affiliate link. You acknowledge that it remains your personal responsibility to investigate whether any affiliate offer is right for your family and will benefit you. You will not rely on any recommendation, reference, or information provided by AHC and will instead conduct your own investigation and rely upon your investigation to decide whether to purchase the affiliate product or service.

​

No Endorsements

 

From time to time, AHC may refer to other products, services, coaches, consultants, or experts, including the strategic partners we make available to families in our programs. As stated above, we receive no compensation of any kind in connection with strategic partner introductions. Any such reference is not intended as an endorsement or as a statement that the information provided by the other party is accurate. AHC provides this information as a reference for users. It is your responsibility to conduct your own investigation and make your own determination about any such product, service, coach, consultant, or expert.

​

Service Availability

 

We make commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Website and any Services available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Website and any related Services and Resources, including our member portal, community, and courses, are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We are not responsible for any losses arising from delays, outages, third-party service failures, scheduled or emergency maintenance, or other interruptions in service. Your use of the Website is at your own risk.

​

Third-Party Services

 

Our Website and Services rely on third-party providers (including, without limitation, Wix, GoHighLevel, Stripe, and Google Workspace). We are not responsible for any failures, delays, or service interruptions caused by these providers, and your use of those providers' services is subject to their own terms and privacy practices.

​

Beta and Early-Access Features

 

From time to time we may make features, tools, or content available on a preview, beta, or early-access basis. These features are clearly labeled as such and are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranty of any kind. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue beta features at any time without notice.

​

User Responsibility for Data Backups

 

You are solely responsible for maintaining backups of any content, data, or assets that you upload to or generate through the Website or our Services, including anything you post in our community. We do not operate as a backup service and do not guarantee that any user content will be retained, retrievable, or restored after deletion, account closure, cancellation, or service interruption.

​

AI-Generated Content

Our Website may contain content created by or with the assistance of artificial intelligence ("AI") tools and technologies. We may use AI to assist in generating, for example, service descriptions, articles or blog posts, email newsletters, social media posts, images, and other marketing materials ("AI-Generated Content").

​

While we take reasonable steps to review AI-Generated Content, we cannot guarantee its accuracy. AI-Generated Content is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon for any specific purpose without independent verification of its accuracy and completeness. We disclaim liability for errors or omissions in AI-Generated Content and advise you to exercise caution when relying on it. We are not responsible for any consequences arising from your reliance on AI-Generated Content. Use your own discretion and seek expert advice when making decisions based on AI-generated information.

​

Where permitted by law, we claim ownership of AI-Generated Content published on the Website, together with the underlying selection, compilation, prompts, curation, and any human-authored edits. We acknowledge that the legal status of AI-generated material continues to evolve and that some AI outputs may not be eligible for copyright protection. To the extent any AI-Generated Content is not protectable by copyright, we assert ownership of all related human-authored elements, our trademarks, and our trade dress, and you may not use the AI-Generated Content in a manner that would mislead a reasonable person into believing that it originated from you rather than from AHC, or that your use of it is endorsed by AHC.

​

AI Features and Interactions

 

Our Website may include AI-powered features, such as an AI Chatbot and other automated tools (collectively, "AI Features"). When available, our AI Chatbot is presented to you on the Website as our "automated assistant," and it identifies itself as automated at the beginning of every conversation. The following applies to your use of, and any reliance on, our AI Features.

 

AI Limitations. While we strive to ensure our AI Features provide accurate and helpful information, you acknowledge and agree that:

​

• AI technology has inherent limitations and may occasionally provide incomplete, inaccurate, or inappropriate responses;

• information provided by our AI Features is for general informational purposes only and should not be considered professional advice (legal, financial, medical, admissions, or otherwise);

• our AI Features do not provide individualized admissions or financial aid advice, and any response about a specific student, application, deadline, aid form, or award must be independently verified with the institution or agency involved;

• critical decisions should not be made solely based on information provided by our AI Features without appropriate verification; and

• our official company policies, Terms and Conditions of Use, and this Disclaimer always supersede any information provided by our AI Features in case of discrepancies.

​

Limitation of Liability for AI Interactions. To the fullest extent permitted by law, AHC disclaims all liability for any damages, losses, or harm arising from:

​

• reliance on information provided by our AI Features;

• AI system errors, malfunctions, or unavailability;

• decisions made or actions taken based on AI-generated information; and

• any misunderstandings or miscommunications that may occur during AI interactions.

​

Please do not share sensitive personal information with our AI Features, including financial account credentials, government identifiers, or health information. Our AI Features are not a secure channel for confidential discussions.

​

SMS and Text Messaging

 

We may communicate with you by SMS or text message where you have opted in. You acknowledge and agree that:

​

• SMS and text messages may be delayed, misdirected, or not delivered, and we do not guarantee their delivery or timeliness;

• wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages;

• message and data rates may apply, and such charges are governed by your wireless carrier; and

• SMS and text messages are not a secure channel, and you should not share sensitive personal information through them.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, AHC disclaims all liability for any damages, losses, or harm arising from the delay, non-delivery, misdirection, or interception of SMS or text messages, or from your reliance on them.

The terms governing our SMS program, including consent, message frequency, and opt-out, are set out in our Terms and Conditions of Use, and our handling of SMS data is described in our Privacy Policy.
