Terms and Conditions for B2C Learners

Revision 5 — Effective October 7, 2026

Effective Date: October 7, 2026

Last Updated: October 7, 2026

1. About These Terms

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to your enrollment in services provided by Clear Path Framework LLC (“Clear Path,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By enrolling, creating an account, submitting information, booking a check-in, approving a purchase request, or allowing a learner to participate in the pathway, you agree to these Terms.

If you are enrolling a learner who is under 18, you confirm that:

You are at least 18 years old;
You are the learner’s parent or legal guardian;
You have authority to agree to these Terms for yourself and the learner; and
You accept responsibility for the learner’s participation, conduct, and compliance with these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not enroll or allow the learner to use the services.

2. Our Services

Clear Path provides a virtual, structured academic planning and guidance pathway for learners and families. The pathway may be delivered through scheduled individual or group touchpoints and may include:

Academic goal setting;
Progress reviews;
Roadmap and milestone planning;
Document and assignment tracking;
Parent or guardian updates;
Academic organization and accountability support;
Virtual guidance sessions;
Group cohort activities;
Resources and materials; and
Other services specifically listed in your enrollment confirmation or service description.

The specific services, schedule, duration, format, and included materials will be described during enrollment or in the applicable service offer.

2.1 What We Do Not Provide

Unless we expressly state otherwise in writing:

Clear Path is not a school, college, or university;
Clear Path does not replace a public school, private school, homeschool program, or other legally required educational program;
Clear Path does not issue academic credits, diplomas, transcripts, grades, or official school records;
Clear Path does not provide full-time school instruction;
Clear Path is not a licensed educational institution;
Clear Path does not provide legal, tax, medical, mental health, financial, or scholarship eligibility advice;
Clear Path does not guarantee that a learner will qualify for or receive scholarship funding;
Clear Path does not guarantee that any service will be approved, reimbursed, or paid by a scholarship program; and
Clear Path does not provide special education, therapy, medical treatment, or clinical services unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement.

Some services may include live virtual group tutoring sessions, tutoring, instructional support, or academic guidance. The applicable enrollment materials will identify what is included. Families should not assume that a service includes tutoring, instruction, therapy, or another specialized service unless it is clearly stated.

2.2 Provider-Specific Services

Where an enrollment confirmation or service offer names a specific provider (including by name or by role) as the individual delivering a service, that service is delivered by that named provider personally, the assignment is not transferable to another provider, and Clear Path will not substitute a different provider for that service. If the named provider becomes unavailable, Clear Path will reschedule the affected check-in or service, or provide a credit or refund for the unused portion as described in Section 6, rather than assigning another provider. If an enrollment confirmation does not name a specific provider, no provider is guaranteed and Clear Path may assign or change providers, instructors, group assignments, and delivery method as described in Section 7.

3. Eligibility and Parent Responsibility

Our services are intended for families and learners who meet the applicable enrollment requirements.

The parent or legal guardian is responsible for:

Providing accurate information about the learner;
Disclosing information reasonably needed to plan and provide services;
Confirming that the pathway is appropriate for the learner;
Supervising the learner’s participation when appropriate;
Helping the learner attend scheduled check-ins;
Reviewing parent updates and service communications;
Maintaining the learner’s account information; and
Making decisions about the learner’s education.

We may decline enrollment or suspend services if the information provided is incomplete, inaccurate, misleading, or no longer current.

4. Enrollment and Account Information

To enroll, you may be required to provide information such as:

Parent or guardian name and contact information;
Learner name, age, grade, and educational information;
Scholarship or funding information;
EMA marketplace or program account information;
Scheduling information;
Emergency contact information; and
Payment or billing information.

You agree to keep all information accurate and updated. You must promptly notify us if your contact information, scholarship status, custody arrangement, or other relevant information changes.

You are responsible for protecting account passwords and access links. You must notify us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.

You may not create an account using another person’s identity or provide false or misleading information.

5. Fees, Billing, and Payment

The fees for services will be shown during enrollment, in an order form, or in your enrollment confirmation. The applicable offer controls the price, payment schedule, number of check-ins, access period, and included services.

Unless otherwise stated:

Fees are charged in U.S. dollars;
Self-pay fees are due according to the payment schedule shown at enrollment;
Payment may be processed through a third-party payment provider;
You authorize us or our payment provider to charge the payment method you provide;
You are responsible for keeping your payment information current; and
You are responsible for applicable taxes, bank fees, returned-payment fees, or other charges disclosed before payment.

A payment that fails may result in delayed or suspended access to services. We may charge a reasonable returned-payment fee if permitted by law and disclosed at enrollment.

5.1 Scholarship-Funded Services

For families using PEP, Step Up for Students, the EMA marketplace, FES-UA, or another scholarship or education funding program:

The family is responsible for confirming its eligibility;
The family is responsible for confirming which services and expenses are approved;
The family is responsible for submitting purchase requests, invoices, approvals, or other required documents;
The family must provide accurate information for the applicable scholarship or funding account;
The family must comply with all applicable program rules and deadlines;
Clear Path does not guarantee approval, reimbursement, renewal, or continued availability of scholarship funds; and
Clear Path does not control decisions made by the scholarship administrator, marketplace, or funding agency.

If the scholarship administrator does not approve or pay for a service, the service may be delayed, suspended, or discontinued. You will not be charged for a scholarship-funded amount that we expressly represented would be paid solely from scholarship funds unless you separately authorized responsibility for that amount in writing.

Any self-pay amount, non-covered service, or other charge that you separately approve is your responsibility.

6. Cancellations, Refunds, and Credits

The cancellation and refund rules shown during enrollment apply to your purchase. Unless a different written policy applies:

A check-in must be canceled or rescheduled at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time to avoid losing the check-in credit;
A late cancellation, missed check-in, or failure to attend may be treated as a used check-in;
Unused check-in credits expire according to the period stated during enrollment;
Cohort or pathway fees may not be refundable after the pathway begins, except as required by law or stated in the enrollment offer;
Refunds, if approved, will generally be returned to the original payment method;
Processing times depend on the payment provider or financial institution; and
Scholarship-funded services generally do not result in a cash refund to the family because no out-of-pocket payment was made by the family.

If Clear Path cancels a service or cannot provide a material portion of the service, we may offer a rescheduled service, replacement service, credit, or refund of the unused prepaid portion, as appropriate.

Nothing in these Terms limits any refund or cancellation rights that cannot legally be waived.

7. Scheduling, Attendance, and Check-in Policies

Services may be provided on a fixed schedule, through scheduled appointments, or through a cohort calendar.

You are responsible for:

Booking check-ins through the approved scheduling system;
Providing a suitable device, internet connection, and location;
Helping the learner arrive on time and prepared;
Ensuring that the learner has access to required materials;
Notifying us of scheduling conflicts as soon as possible; and
Following the cancellation and rescheduling rules.

A late arrival may shorten the available check-in time. A check-in may end at its scheduled time even if the learner arrives late.

If a learner repeatedly misses check-ins, arrives late, or does not participate, we may contact the parent or guardian, change the learner’s schedule, place the learner on an attendance plan, suspend access, or terminate enrollment.

Except where Section 2.2 applies, we may change a check-in time, instructor, group assignment, or delivery method when reasonably necessary. We will make reasonable efforts to provide notice and an appropriate alternative.

You agree that Clear Path may communicate with you electronically using the email address, telephone number, text message number, parent portal, scheduling platform, or other contact information you provide.

Electronic communications may include:

Enrollment confirmations;
Scheduling reminders;
Cancellation notices;
Payment notices;
Parent updates;
Progress summaries;
Scholarship-related information;
Account notices;
Pathway announcements; and
Changes to these Terms.

You consent to receive service-related communications electronically. You may withdraw consent to electronic communications by contacting us, but withdrawing consent may prevent us from providing certain services or account information.

You may opt out of marketing communications by using the unsubscribe option or contacting us. Opting out of marketing communications will not necessarily stop important service, payment, safety, or account notices.

You agree that electronic records, electronic signatures, electronic confirmations, and electronic acknowledgments may be used to document your enrollment and agreement. You may request a paper copy of an electronic record by contacting us.

9. Recordings, Photos, and Media

Clear Path will not record a check-in, take a learner photograph, or use a learner’s identifiable image or voice for promotional purposes unless the parent or legal guardian provides the required consent.

If a check-in will be recorded for training, quality, safety, or pathway purposes, we will provide notice when required. The parent or guardian may contact us regarding available alternatives.

Learners and families may not record, photograph, screenshot, reproduce, or distribute a check-in, learner, instructor, or other participant without permission from Clear Path and any other person whose rights may be affected.

10. Learner and Parent Conduct

Learners and parents must act respectfully and safely. Prohibited conduct includes:

Harassment, bullying, threats, intimidation, or discrimination;
Abusive, hateful, or sexually inappropriate language or conduct;
Disrupting a check-in or preventing others from participating;
Sharing another learner’s personal information;
Recording or distributing check-ins without permission;
Attempting to access another person’s account;
Providing false or misleading information;
Damaging or interfering with pathway platforms;
Using the pathway for unlawful purposes;
Bringing unauthorized people into a private check-in;
Possessing or displaying weapons during a check-in; or
Any conduct that creates a safety, privacy, or operational concern.

Parents and guardians are responsible for supporting appropriate learner conduct and supervising younger learners as reasonably necessary.

We may remove a learner or parent from a check-in, suspend access, refuse service, or terminate enrollment if we reasonably believe that conduct violates these Terms or creates a safety, privacy, or operational risk.

11. Pathway Materials and Intellectual Property

Clear Path and its licensors own or have the right to use the pathway materials, including:

Roadmaps;
Templates;
Worksheets;
Guides;
Lesson materials;
Videos;
Written content;
Graphics;
Processes;
Assessments;
Branding;
Curriculum elements; and
Other materials provided through the pathway.

Subject to these Terms and full payment of applicable fees, Clear Path grants the enrolled family a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the materials for the enrolled learner’s personal, non-commercial educational purposes.

You may not, without our prior written permission:

Copy, sell, publish, or redistribute pathway materials;
Share materials with other families or organizations;
Use materials to create a competing pathway;
Remove copyright, trademark, or ownership notices;
Upload materials to a public website or artificial intelligence training system;
Record or reproduce live check-ins;
Use materials for commercial purposes; or
Allow anyone other than the enrolled learner and authorized family members to use the materials.

This license ends when your enrollment ends or when these Terms are terminated.

You retain ownership of information and materials that you provide to us. You give Clear Path permission to use that information as reasonably necessary to provide services, communicate with you, maintain records, meet legal or funding requirements, and improve operations.

12. Learner Information, Privacy, and Confidentiality

We will handle learner and family information according to our privacy practices and applicable law.

We may collect, use, store, and disclose information as reasonably necessary to:

Enroll and serve the learner;
Track participation and progress;
Communicate with the parent or guardian;
Process payments;
Submit or support scholarship-related documentation;
Comply with legal, safety, reporting, or funding requirements;
Use service providers that assist with our operations; and
Protect the rights, safety, and property of Clear Path, families, learners, and others.

We will use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. However, no online system or electronic communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

12.1 Parent and Guardian Access

Because Clear Path is serving a minor, we generally communicate learner-related information to the enrolling parent or legal guardian. We may request proof of identity, legal guardianship, or authority before releasing information.

If there is a custody dispute, conflicting instruction from guardians, or uncertainty about a person’s authority, we may pause disclosure or services until appropriate documentation is provided.

12.2 FERPA-Style Acknowledgment

Clear Path is not a school or educational agency. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”) may not apply directly to Clear Path in the same way it applies to a school or educational agency.

Even when FERPA does not directly apply, Clear Path intends to treat learner information responsibly and to limit access and disclosure to appropriate purposes. Where Clear Path receives information from a school, scholarship administrator, or other covered organization, Clear Path will follow applicable contractual and legal requirements governing that information.

Information may be shared with a scholarship administrator, marketplace, funding agency, or authorized service provider when required to process payment, verify eligibility, document services, comply with program rules, or meet legal obligations.

13. No Guaranteed Results

Academic progress depends on many factors, including attendance, effort, prior preparation, learning needs, family support, school requirements, and circumstances outside Clear Path’s control.

Clear Path does not guarantee:

A particular grade, score, academic result, or level of progress;
Admission to a school, college, or pathway;
Scholarship approval, funding, renewal, or reimbursement;
Completion of a particular academic goal;
Eligibility for a particular educational benefit;
Acceptance of documents by a school or scholarship administrator; or
Any specific outcome from participation.

Our services are intended to provide planning, structure, support, and guidance. They are not a promise of a particular result.

14. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the services and materials are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

Clear Path disclaims warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, availability, accuracy, and uninterrupted access.

We do not warrant that:

The pathway will meet every learner’s needs;
The services will be continuously available;
Online platforms will be free from interruption, delay, or errors;
Materials will always be complete, current, or error-free;
A scholarship administrator will accept or reimburse a service; or
The services will produce a specific educational result.

Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot legally be excluded.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Clear Path and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, instructors, affiliates, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost opportunities, loss of data, or loss of scholarship funding arising from or related to the services.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Clear Path’s total liability for claims arising from or related to the services will not exceed the greater of:

The amount you paid to Clear Path for the specific services giving rise to the claim during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim; or
$500.

This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded, including liability arising from fraud, willful misconduct, or other conduct for which limitation is prohibited by law.

16. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Clear Path and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, instructors, affiliates, and service providers from claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or related to:

Your breach of these Terms;
Your misuse of the services or pathway materials;
Your violation of another person’s rights;
Information that you knowingly provide that is false or misleading;
The learner’s or family’s unlawful or inappropriate conduct; or
Your failure to obtain required permissions or authority.

This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from Clear Path’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or conduct for which indemnification cannot legally be required.

17. Suspension and Termination

These Terms begin when you accept them or enroll and continue until your enrollment ends or the Terms are terminated.

You may request cancellation by contacting us through the information below. Cancellation does not automatically entitle you to a refund. The refund and credit rules in Section 6 and the applicable enrollment offer will apply.

Clear Path may suspend or terminate services immediately when reasonably necessary because of:

Nonpayment;
Failure to provide required information;
Ineligibility for the pathway;
Misuse of the services or materials;
Violations of these Terms;
Unsafe, abusive, or disruptive conduct;
A legal, regulatory, scholarship, or funding issue;
Security or privacy concerns; or
Circumstances that make continued service impractical.

When appropriate, we may provide notice and an opportunity to correct the issue before termination.

After termination:

Access to the pathway and materials may end;
Unused credits will be handled under the applicable refund policy;
Amounts already due remain payable;
Confidentiality, intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, dispute resolution, and other provisions that by their nature should continue will survive.

18. Force Majeure

Clear Path will not be responsible for delays, interruptions, cancellations, or inability to perform caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including:

Severe weather;
Natural disasters;
Public health emergencies;
Fire, flood, or power failure;
Internet, telecommunications, or platform outages;
Government action;
Labor disputes;
War, terrorism, or civil unrest;
Illness or unavailability of personnel;
Cybersecurity incidents; or
Other events that could not reasonably be prevented or avoided.

We will make reasonable efforts to notify affected families and, when practical, reschedule services or provide another appropriate remedy. Where Section 2.2 applies and a named provider is unavailable, Clear Path’s obligation is to reschedule or provide a credit or refund for the unused portion under Section 6, rather than to substitute another provider.

19. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

Before filing a legal claim, you and Clear Path agree to try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally. You may begin this process by sending a written notice describing the issue and requested resolution to the contact address below. Clear Path will have 30 days to respond.

These Terms and any dispute arising from or related to the services will be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

If the dispute is not resolved informally, the parties agree that the exclusive venue for any court proceeding will be the state or federal courts located in Orange County, Florida, unless applicable law requires a different venue. Each party consents to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Nothing in this section prevents a party from seeking emergency injunctive relief, filing a claim in small claims court where permitted, or pursuing a right that cannot legally be waived.

20. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We may provide notice of material changes by email, through the parent portal, during enrollment, or by posting the updated Terms where the services are offered.

Unless a different effective date is stated:

Changes apply prospectively;
The version accepted at enrollment will generally apply to the services already purchased;
Updated Terms may apply to renewals, new purchases, or continued use after the effective date; and
Continued use of the services after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.

If a change materially affects your rights or obligations, you may contact us before continuing to use the services.

21. General Terms

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. The invalid provision will be modified only as much as necessary to make it enforceable, if permitted by law.

These Terms, together with the applicable enrollment confirmation, service description, payment terms, and incorporated policies, form the entire agreement between you and Clear Path regarding the services.

If there is a conflict between these Terms and a specific written enrollment offer, the specific enrollment offer will control only for the conflicting service, price, schedule, or refund term.

You may not assign your enrollment or rights under these Terms without our written consent. Clear Path may assign these Terms as part of a merger, sale, restructuring, or transfer of operations.

No waiver of a provision is effective unless provided in writing. A failure to enforce a provision immediately does not waive the right to enforce it later.
