Welcome to Parrofy. These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Parrofy’s website, applications, and services (collectively, the “Services”).
By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not use Parrofy.
1. Eligibility and User Roles
Parrofy is intended for:
- Students, including high school students applying to U.S. colleges
- Parents or legal guardians
- College counselors and advisors, including independent college admissions counselors and high school counselors who support students with college planning and applications
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services.
If you are under 18 years old, you represent that you have permission from a parent or legal guardian.
2. Account Registration and Responsibilities
To access certain features, you must create an account. You agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete information
- Keep your login credentials confidential
- Promptly update any changes to your information
- Notify us of any unauthorized use of your account
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
3. Description of Service
Parrofy provides AI-powered college application guidance and counseling services. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time.
Parrofy provides informational and advisory tools to assist with college planning and applications. You acknowledge and agree that:
- Parrofy does not guarantee college admission, scholarships, or financial aid
- AI-generated recommendations are not professional, legal, or financial advice
- Final admissions decisions are made solely by colleges and universities
- Financial aid estimates are informational and not official offers
Recommendations, suggested prospects, college lists, essay feedback, and all other AI-generated outputs are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute a guarantee of admission, fit, or any other outcome. Parrofy is not responsible for a user’s final college choices, application decisions, or the outcomes that result from them. Responsibility for evaluating AI-generated suggestions and making final decisions rests solely with the student and, where applicable, their counselor(s) and parent(s)/legal guardian(s).
4. AI-Powered Features
Parrofy uses artificial intelligence to analyze user-provided information and generate personalized guidance, including recommendations and suggested college prospects. By using the Services, you acknowledge that:
- AI outputs are based on the data you provide
- AI responses may be incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated
- Human judgment should always be applied when making decisions
- Counselor-created AI agents reflect counselor input but do not replace human counselors
- Parrofy does not guarantee that a student will be admitted to, or is a good fit for, any AI-suggested college or prospect
- The student, and where applicable their counselor(s) and parent(s)/legal guardian(s), are solely responsible for reviewing AI-generated suggestions and for the final decisions made based on them
Parrofy does not use personal data to train generalized AI models outside the scope of providing the Services.
5. Counselor Marketplace and Services
Parrofy may offer a marketplace where students and families can connect with counselors.
- Counselors are independent providers, not employees or agents of Parrofy
- Parrofy does not control or guarantee counselor advice, availability, or outcomes
- Any agreements between users and counselors are between those parties directly
- Parrofy is not responsible for disputes between users and counselors
6. Payments, Subscriptions, and Fees

Some features of the Services may require payment, including but not limited to:
- Subscription plans

By providing a payment method, you authorize Parrofy (or its third-party payment processor) to:

All fees are non-refundable unless otherwise required by law or explicitly stated at the time of purchase.
C. Subscription Renewal and Cancellation
- Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period
- You may cancel a subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation simply opts you out of the next automatic renewal — it does not end your current billing period early
- Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access to paid features through that date
- No refunds — prorated or otherwise — are provided for any unused time remaining in a billing cycle if you cancel before that cycle ends

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Parrofy disclaims all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
14. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall Parrofy be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use of or inability to use the Services.
Parrofy’s total liability shall not exceed the amount paid by you (if any) to Parrofy in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
15. Indemnification

- Your User Content
- Your violation of these Terms
- Your violation of any rights of a third party
16. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
You and Parrofy agree to first try to resolve any dispute informally by contacting support@parrofy.com. If a dispute is not resolved within 30 days, you and Parrofy agree that it will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its rules then in effect, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court.
You and Parrofy each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding.
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing legal@parrofy.com from the email address associated with your account.
17. Termination
You may stop using Parrofy at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if:
- You violate these Terms
- Required by law
- Necessary to protect users or the platform
Termination does not affect rights or obligations accrued prior to termination.
18. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute not subject to arbitration under Section 16 will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California.
19. General Provisions
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Parrofy regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreements on the same subject.
- If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect
- Parrofy’s failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision
- You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; Parrofy may assign these Terms without restriction in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
- Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events reasonably beyond its control
- Notices to you may be sent to the email address associated with your account; notices to Parrofy should be sent to the contact information below
20. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by posting the updated Terms with a revised “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
