4. Career Fit Assessment

Your purchase includes one Career Fit assessment under the package you bought:

• You must complete the assessment to unlock your full report path and package job tools

Assessment Integrity: You agree to complete the assessment honestly and without assistance. Results obtained through dishonest means may result in account termination without refund.

• All activities that occur under your account
• Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized access
• Providing accurate and up-to-date information

Account Sharing: Your account is for personal use only. Sharing login credentials or transferring access to others is prohibited and may result in account termination.

7. Prohibited Uses

You may not use Real World Careers to:

• Violate any laws or regulations
• Scrape, harvest, or collect data from our platform using automated means

8. Job Listings Disclaimer

Third-Party Content: Paid Career Fit job tools rank (1) Direct Openings posted by employers on this platform, (2) live openings from The Muse public jobs API, and (3) remote openings from Remotive. We do not currently call USAJOBS, Jooble, CareerJet, or Adzuna. Aggregator listings can close or change without notice. Apply on the source site. Direct Openings are employer-entered. We do not:

• Guarantee the accuracy, availability, or legitimacy of job postings
• Control hiring decisions or employment outcomes
• Represent employers or endorse specific companies
• Guarantee interviews, offers, or employment

Due Diligence: Always research employers independently before applying. Report suspicious listings to [email protected]

9. Matching accuracy and decision support

Career matching uses work-relevant domain scores and occupational research. It is decision support, not a guarantee:

• Match scores and rankings are predictive guidance, not guaranteed outcomes
• Cognitive and fit signals are one factor among many in job success
• Results should be used as guidance, not absolute determinations
• Individual results vary based on assessment performance and context

No Employment Guarantee: Real World Careers does not guarantee employment, interviews, job offers, or specific salary outcomes.

10. Credentials and verification

Career Fit and Professional purchases include a credential path:

• Only purchased, server-issued credentials are intended for employer verification
• Browser-local session codes and demo codes (including RWC-DEMO-2026) are not production verification records
• Employers verify only codes you choose to share
• Credentials cannot be transferred or resold
• We do not guarantee that employers will use or accept credentials
• Misrepresenting credential information may result in account termination

11. Intellectual Property

All content, algorithms, and materials on Real World Careers are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws:

• Parker Brain Alignment Index: Proprietary algorithm owned by Advanced Learning Academy
• Real World Careers: Trademark of Advanced Learning Academy
• Platform Content: Designs, text, graphics, logos owned by us or licensors

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without written permission.

12. Access duration (consumer)

Career Fit ($99) and Professional ($199)

Included job-tool access ends three (3) years after purchase under current offer terms. No automatic renewal. You must repurchase to continue job-tool access after expiration.

Assessment results and credential history may remain available for verification display under product rules after job-tool access expires; that is not a guarantee of indefinite platform features.

Grace Period: We may provide a short grace period after expiration to renew without losing assessment history — contact support if needed.

13. Account Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if:

• You violate these Terms of Service
• You engage in fraudulent activity
• You abuse our platform or support resources
• You share your account with others
• We detect suspicious or automated activity

No Refund: Terminations for Terms violations do not qualify for refunds.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• Real World Careers is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind
• We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages
• Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the service
• We are not responsible for third-party job listings or employer actions

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Advanced Learning Academy from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from:

• Your use of Real World Careers
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of any third-party rights
• Any misrepresentation of your credentials to employers

16. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Binding Arbitration: Any disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the American Arbitration Association rules, not in court.

Class Action Waiver: You agree to resolve disputes individually, not as part of a class action.

Governing Law: These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Advanced Learning Academy is registered.

17. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective:

• Immediately for new users
• 30 days after notification for existing users

Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. If you disagree with changes, you may cancel your membership and request a prorated refund.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.
