Terms of Service

Effective date: May 21, 2026.

Draft. This page is a placeholder until 4S Academy's formal Terms of Service are reviewed by legal counsel. Continuing to use the service constitutes your agreement to the eventual final Terms, which will appear here on or before the first paid customer signup.

1. Service description

4S Academy provides SAT, ACT, and AP test-preparation content and tooling. The service has two surfaces: a self-enroll surface for individual students, and a managed surface used by tutoring centres to provide content to their students. The service is delivered through the website at lodestarprep.com.

2. Accounts

Self-enroll students create their account by signing in with a magic link to their email. Centre-bound students receive their account from their tutoring centre. 4S Academy does not transfer accounts between students; an account, once bound to a person, belongs to that person.

3. Payment and seats

Centres purchase per-student "seats" from 4S Academy for a fixed duration agreed up front. When a seat expires, the student loses visibility of the course but 4S Academy preserves all study progress for the same parent identifier; renewing extends the same seat and restores access.

4. Content

All quiz, exam, and theory content is owned by 4S Academy and licensed for personal study use. Reproducing or redistributing the content outside of the service is not permitted without written consent.

5. Acceptable use

Don't share your account with anyone. Don't attempt to bypass the access controls (the seat-based visibility model is what protects paying customers' content). Don't use the service to harass, threaten, or harm others.

6. Disclaimer

The service is provided "as is." 4S Academy works toward content quality and accuracy but does not guarantee a specific test outcome. Your real score depends on many factors beyond this product.
