Terms of Service

These Terms of Service are an agreement between you and PrepCat. By creating an account or using PrepCat in any way, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

If you are using PrepCat on behalf of someone else, you confirm that you have the authority to accept these terms for them.

PrepCat is a study planning and practice tool for the MCAT. It builds a study plan around your goals, tracks your readiness, helps you review your mistakes, and offers practice and guidance.

PrepCat is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Association of American Medical Colleges (the AAMC), which owns the MCAT exam. Any scores, projections, and readiness figures PrepCat shows are estimates meant to guide your studying. They are not predictions of your real exam result and are not medical, academic, or admissions advice.

You need an account to use most of PrepCat. You are responsible for keeping your password safe and for everything that happens under your account. Please give accurate information and keep it current so your plan stays useful.

You must be at least 13 years old to use PrepCat. Each account is for one person. Tell us right away if you believe someone has used your account without permission.

Use PrepCat for your own MCAT preparation. Do not misuse the service. In particular, do not try to break, overload, or reverse engineer it, do not scrape or copy its content at scale, do not resell or share access, and do not use it to build a competing product.

Do not use the tutor or the advisor to produce harmful, unlawful, or abusive content, and do not try to extract their underlying instructions.

Study plans, practice questions, explanations, and tutor and advisor replies can contain errors or leave things out. Treat them as a study aid, not as a final authority. Always check important facts against official sources such as AAMC materials and your own course resources.

You are responsible for how you use the plans and explanations PrepCat gives you. We do not guarantee any particular score, score increase, or outcome.

You keep ownership of the information you put into PrepCat, such as your diagnostic scores, the mistakes you log, and your notes. You grant PrepCat the permission it needs to store and process this information so the service can work for you, as described in our Privacy Policy.

PrepCat and its software, design, and original content belong to PrepCat and are protected by law. We grant you a personal, limited, and revocable right to use the service for your own studying.

Creating an account is free. Using PrepCat's study features requires a paid subscription plan, unless we have given you access at no charge. Before you pay, the plan page shows the price, the billing period and what is included, and the secure checkout page shows the price and billing period again. Taxes may apply.

Paid plans renew automatically at the price and billing period shown when you subscribe, for example $29.99 every month or $69.99 every 3 months, until you cancel. If a discount applies, later payments are at the full price shown at checkout once the discount ends.

If you buy a paid plan, you authorize us to charge your payment method on the schedule shown, including each automatic renewal, until you cancel. Payments are not refundable, including for unused time, except where the law requires a refund.

You can cancel at any time on the Billing page in Settings. Canceling stops the next charge, and you keep full access until the end of the period you already paid for.

Deleting your account cancels your plan right away, and your access ends at once, even if time is left in the period you paid for. That time is not refunded. To keep access until the period ends, cancel your plan first and delete your account later.

If a charge looks wrong or you have a question about it, please email support@prepcat.net before contacting your bank, so we can look into it right away. If a payment on your account is disputed with your bank or reported as unauthorized, we may stop your plan from renewing while the matter is open. If the payment is reversed, access for the period it paid for may end.

PrepCat is provided on an as is and as available basis. We do our best to keep it accurate and running, but we do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, error free, or fit for every purpose. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties that are not expressly stated here.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, PrepCat and its team are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost data, lost profits, or exam outcomes, that arise from your use of the service. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

You can stop using PrepCat at any time. Not using PrepCat does not cancel a paid plan: to stop future charges, cancel it on the Billing page in Settings. You can also delete your account from the Settings page, which cancels your plan right away, as described in Plans, renewal and canceling. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms or use the service in a way that could harm PrepCat or other users.

We may update these terms as the product grows or the law changes. When we make a material change, we will update the date at the top and, where appropriate, let you know in PrepCat. By continuing to use PrepCat after a change takes effect, you agree to the updated terms.

Questions about these terms are welcome. Reach us at support@prepcat.net.
