Terms of Service

Last updated: June 22, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and F-1 Careers LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("F-1 Careers," "we," "us," or "our"), and govern your access to and use of the F-1 Careers website at www.f-1careers.com and our related tools, reports, and services (collectively, the "Service").

Please read Section 3 (No Legal Advice) and Sections 11 to 13 (Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, and Dispute Resolution) carefully. They affect your legal rights.

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate and your own.

2. What the Service is

F-1 Careers operates an online platform that provides information, tools, content, reports, and related services. Our current offerings focus on career and immigration strategy, including free interactive tools, paid strategy and document-analysis products, and subscription-based planning tools, with an emphasis on self-petition green card pathways such as EB-1A and EB-2 NIW and related statuses. We may add, modify, expand, or discontinue the products, tools, content, and services offered through the Service at any time, including offerings beyond immigration, and these Terms govern all of them unless a particular offering presents separate terms. Features, content, and pricing may change over time.

3. No legal advice; no attorney-client relationship; no guarantee of outcome

This is the most important thing to understand about the Service.

F-1 Careers is not a law firm, and we are not your attorneys. The Service provides general information, educational content, and strategic analysis. It does not constitute legal advice, and your use of it does not create an attorney-client relationship or any fiduciary or professional duty. Information you submit is not protected by attorney-client privilege.

Immigration law is complex, fact-specific, and subject to rapid change. Outputs from the Service, including eligibility checks, scores, strategy reports, document analyses, roadmaps, and any drafting assistance, are planning and informational tools only. They are not a prediction or guarantee of approval, eligibility, or any other immigration or legal outcome, and government agencies make decisions at their own discretion.

Where the Service addresses other subjects, including career, professional, financial, educational, or similar topics, its content is likewise general and informational only, and is not legal, financial, tax, or other professional advice. You are responsible for your own decisions and should consult a qualified professional where appropriate.

You should consult a licensed immigration attorney before filing any petition or application or making any decision about your immigration status. You are solely responsible for your own filings and decisions.

4. Your account

You are responsible for the information you provide, for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials, and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at support@f-1careers.com if you suspect unauthorized use. You may not share your account or let others use it, and you may not create an account using false information.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
  • Submit information that is false, that you have no right to submit, or that infringes the rights of others;
  • Attempt to access accounts, data, or systems that are not yours, or to probe, scan, or breach security;
  • Reverse engineer, scrape, copy, or create derivative works from the Service except as permitted by law;
  • Resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit reports, content, or outputs without our written permission;
  • Use the Service to provide legal services to third parties or to hold yourself out as authorized to do so; or
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service.

6. Your content

You retain ownership of the information and documents you submit ("Your Content"). You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, process, and use Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you, including transmitting it to our service providers (such as our AI processing provider) to generate your outputs, as described in our Privacy Policy.

You represent that you have the right to submit Your Content and that it is accurate. Because our outputs depend on what you provide, inaccurate or incomplete information will affect the results.

7. AI-generated outputs

Parts of the Service use artificial intelligence to analyze your inputs and generate outputs. AI-generated content can contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. Outputs are informational, are not legal advice, and are not guaranteed to be accurate or complete. You are responsible for reviewing and verifying any output before relying on it, and for confirming important matters with a licensed attorney.

8. Purchases, subscriptions, and billing

a. One-time products. Certain products (such as a strategy report or an RFE response analysis) are sold for a one-time fee, charged at the time of purchase through our payment processor.

b. Subscriptions. Our Pro subscription is billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annual, as selected) and automatically renews at the then-current price until you cancel. You authorize us, through our payment processor, to charge your payment method for each renewal.

c. Cancellation. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account or by contacting support. Cancellation stops future renewals; your access continues through the end of the current paid period.

d. Pricing changes. We may change prices. For subscriptions, we will provide notice before a price change takes effect, and the new price will apply to your next renewal.

e. Refunds and cancellations.

(i) Nature of the products. The Service consists of digital products and digital content, comprising (A) one-time deliverables that are generated for you on demand, such as a Strategy Report or an RFE Response Analysis (each, a "Deliverable"), and (B) subscription access to the Pro tier. Because these are digital products that are consumed upon delivery or made continuously available, the provisions of this Section 8(e) govern all refunds and cancellations, and they apply in addition to, and subject to, any rights you have that cannot be waived under applicable law.

(ii) One-time Deliverables. By purchasing a Deliverable, you expressly request that generation begin immediately and you consent to immediate performance. You may obtain a full refund of a Deliverable only by requesting it before the Deliverable has been generated and first made available to your account. Once a Deliverable has been generated and made available to you, it is deemed fully performed and delivered, and the fee for it is non-refundable, except as provided in subsection (iv) or as required by non-waivable law.

(iii) Subscriptions. Subscription fees are billed in advance for each billing cycle and are non-refundable. You may cancel at any time through your account or by contacting support; cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing cycle, and your access continues until that time. We do not provide refunds, credits, or proration for partial billing cycles, for any period during which you did not use the Service, or for the unused portion of a prepaid annual term, except as required by non-waivable law.

(iv) Limited exceptions. Notwithstanding subsections (ii) and (iii), we will issue a refund where: (A) you were charged in error or charged more than once for the same purchase; or (B) a verified technical failure attributable to us prevented a Deliverable from being generated or made available to you, and we are unable to cure it within a reasonable time.

(v) Discretionary accommodations. Any refund or credit we provide outside the circumstances described in this Section is granted as an accommodation in our sole and absolute discretion, is determined on a case-by-case basis, does not constitute a waiver of these Terms or establish a course of dealing or performance, and creates no entitlement to the same or any similar accommodation in the future.

(vi) Statutory rights; consumers in the EEA and the United Kingdom. Nothing in this Section limits any refund or cancellation right that cannot be waived under the law applicable to you. If you are a consumer in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may have a statutory right to withdraw from a purchase of digital content within fourteen (14) days; however, by purchasing a Deliverable and requesting that its generation begin immediately, you expressly consent to immediate performance and acknowledge that you lose that right of withdrawal once the Deliverable has been generated and made available to you.

(vii) Abuse and chargebacks. We reserve the right to decline refund requests that we reasonably determine to be fraudulent, repeated, or abusive, and to suspend or terminate accounts associated with such conduct. If you believe a charge is incorrect, please contact us at support@f-1careers.com so we can resolve it before you initiate a chargeback; chargebacks filed without first contacting us may result in suspension of your account.

(viii) How to request. To request a refund, email support@f-1careers.com from the address associated with your account and identify the purchase and the reason for the request.

f. Taxes. You are responsible for any applicable taxes.

9. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, tools, methodologies, and all related intellectual property (excluding Your Content), is owned by F-1 Careers or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Reports and outputs we generate for you may be used for your own personal immigration planning; they may not be resold, redistributed, or used to build or train a competing product or service.

10. Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party providers (including hosting, database, payment, email, and AI processing) and may link to third-party resources. We are not responsible for third-party services or content, and your use of them may be subject to their own terms and policies.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY OUTPUT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE MAKE NO WARRANTY REGARDING ANY IMMIGRATION OR LEGAL OUTCOME.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, F-1 CAREERS AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR IMMIGRATION OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless F-1 Careers and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 3, 6, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 15) will survive.

15. Governing law and dispute resolution

a. Governing law. These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service, are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and, where applicable to arbitration, by the Federal Arbitration Act.

b. Informal resolution first. Before commencing any arbitration or proceeding, you agree to first email support@f-1careers.com with a brief written description of the dispute and your contact information, and to allow us thirty (30) days to attempt a good-faith resolution. This step is a condition precedent to commencing arbitration.

c. Binding individual arbitration. Except for the matters carved out in subsection (e), any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that is not resolved informally shall be settled by binding, individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration shall be seated in New Castle County, Delaware, and may, at your election, be conducted by telephone, by videoconference, or on the basis of written submissions. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

d. Jury and class-action waiver. You and F-1 Careers waive any right to a jury trial. All claims must be brought solely in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any representative or class proceeding. If this subsection (d) is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request for relief (and only that one) shall be severed and brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in New Castle County, Delaware, while all remaining claims proceed in arbitration.

e. Exceptions. Either party may (i) bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies, or (ii) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction located in New Castle County, Delaware to protect its intellectual property or confidential information. For any matter not subject to arbitration, the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware shall have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

f. Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days after first accepting these Terms by emailing support@f-1careers.com with your name and a statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

17. General

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and F-1 Careers regarding the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, agency, or employment relationship.
