1. Introduction & Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to DrKKsaini.net. We provide educational advising, college counseling, and related support services (the “Services”).
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our Services. By engaging our Services, whether through a consultation, package purchase, or other means, you, the client (and your parent or legal guardian, if you are a minor) (“you,” “your,” “Client”), agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use our Services.
2. Description of Services
Our Services are designed to provide guidance, information, and strategic advice on educational matters. Services may include, but are not limited to:
• High school course planning and extracurricular strategy
• College list development and selection
• Standardized test strategy (SAT, ACT, etc.)
• Application strategy and review
• Personal statement and essay brainstorming, editing, and feedback
• Interview preparation and coaching

Crucially, our Services are advisory in nature. We provide guidance, and expertise to support you in your educational journey. We do not write essays, complete applications on your behalf, or contact admissions offices for you.
3. Client Responsibilities & Academic Integrity
As a Client, you agree to:
• Provide accurate, complete, and honest information about your academic record, extracurricular activities, and personal background.
• Actively participate in the advising process, complete assigned tasks, and meet mutually agreed-upon deadlines.
• Uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. All application essays, personal statements, and other submitted materials must be your own original work. Our role is to provide feedback and guidance, not to create content for you.
• Communicate with us in a timely and respectful manner.
• Acknowledge that you are solely responsible for the final content of all application materials and for submitting them on time.
4. Fees, Payment, and Refunds
• Fees: Our fees for Services are outlined in our service packages or a separate Service Agreement. Fees are subject to change, but changes will not affect any package already purchased.

• Refund Policy:
o Fees for hourly consultations are non-refundable once the consultation has occurred.
o For service packages, fees for services already rendered are non-refundable.
o If you choose to terminate a package before all services are rendered, a partial refund for unused, pre-paid services may be considered on a case-by-case basis, at our sole discretion. Any such refund will be prorated based on the hours of service already provided at our standard hourly rate.
o No refunds will be issued for a client’s decision not to apply to college or for dissatisfaction with admission decisions.
