1. GENERAL DISCLAIMERS
1.1 Website and Information Disclaimers
The information provided on the Skhillz Academy website, learning platforms, and all related digital materials is for general informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered as professional advice, legal counsel, or definitive guidance on any specific educational, legal, or personal matters. While we strive to keep all information current and accurate, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the information, services, or related graphics contained on our website for any purpose.
1.2 Educational Services Disclaimer
Skhillz Academy provides virtual educational services and online tutoring designed to support student learning and academic growth, but we cannot guarantee specific educational outcomes, test scores, grade improvements, or college admission results. Student success depends on many factors including individual effort, family support, prior educational background, learning differences, attendance patterns, and external circumstances beyond our control, and therefore results may vary significantly among different students even when receiving similar educational services.
1.3 "As Is" Service Provision
All educational services, website content, learning materials, and technology platforms are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that our services will be uninterrupted, error-free, virus-free, or that defects will be corrected, as technology systems can experience unexpected downtime, software glitches, or connectivity issues beyond our control.
2. EDUCATIONAL OUTCOME DISCLAIMERS
2.1 Academic Performance and Results
While Skhillz Academy employs qualified educators and research-based teaching methods, we cannot guarantee that any student will achieve specific academic goals, standardized test scores, grade point averages, or educational milestones within any particular timeframe. Academic success is influenced by numerous variables including student motivation, learning style, previous educational experiences, family support systems, socioeconomic factors, and individual learning differences that may affect how quickly or effectively students master new concepts and skills.
2.2 College and Career Readiness
Although our curriculum is designed to prepare students for higher education and future career success, we make no warranties or guarantees regarding college admission, scholarship awards, career placement, or employment opportunities following completion of our programs. College admissions and career success depend on many factors beyond academic preparation including extracurricular activities, personal essays, interview performance, work experience, and economic conditions that are outside the scope of our educational services.
2.3 Standardized Testing and Assessments
We provide test preparation and academic support that may help students perform better on standardized tests such as state assessments, SAT, ACT, or Advanced Placement exams, but we cannot guarantee specific score improvements or passing grades. Test performance can be affected by factors such as test anxiety, health conditions on test day, prior educational gaps, individual learning processing differences, and the inherent variability in standardized testing instruments themselves.
2.4 Special Education and Learning Differences
For students with documented learning disabilities, attention disorders, or other special needs, we work to provide appropriate accommodations and support services, but we cannot guarantee that our virtual learning environment will be suitable for all students with disabilities or that accommodations will fully address all individual learning challenges. Some students may require more intensive support services, specialized therapeutic interventions, or alternative educational settings that are beyond the scope of our program capabilities.
3. TECHNOLOGY AND PLATFORM DISCLAIMERS
3.1 Technology System Reliability
While we use professional-grade technology platforms and maintain robust internet infrastructure, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access to our learning management systems, video conferencing platforms, or other digital tools due to potential issues such as internet service provider outages, software updates, server maintenance, cyber security incidents, or natural disasters that may affect technology services. Students and families should have backup plans for accessing educational materials during temporary technology disruptions.
3.2 Third-Party Technology Services
Our educational program utilizes various third-party technology providers for services such as video conferencing, learning management systems, educational software, and online assessment tools, and we are not responsible for the performance, reliability, security, or availability of these external services. While we select reputable vendors and require appropriate privacy protections, technical issues with third-party services may occasionally impact the delivery of educational services in ways that are beyond our direct control.
3.3 Device and Internet Compatibility
Although we provide technical requirements and support for accessing our learning platforms, we cannot guarantee compatibility with all devices, operating systems, internet service providers, or home network configurations. Students and families are responsible for ensuring they have appropriate technology equipment and reliable internet service capable of supporting video conferencing, online learning activities, and digital content delivery according to our published technical specifications.
3.4 Data Security and Cybersecurity
While we implement industry-standard security measures to protect student information and educational data, no internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure from all potential cybersecurity threats, data breaches, or unauthorized access attempts. We maintain comprehensive security protocols and incident response procedures, but families should understand that online educational services involve some inherent cybersecurity risks that cannot be completely eliminated despite our best efforts to minimize them.
4. HEALTH AND WELLNESS DISCLAIMERS
4.1 Mental Health and Counseling Services
Any mental health support, counseling services, or social-emotional guidance provided by Skhillz Academy staff is intended for educational support purposes only and should not be considered as a substitute for professional mental health treatment, therapy, or medical intervention. Students experiencing serious mental health concerns, depression, anxiety, or other psychological challenges should seek appropriate professional help from qualified mental health practitioners, and families should consult with healthcare providers for comprehensive mental health assessment and treatment planning.
4.2 Medical and Health Information
We do not provide medical advice, health diagnoses, or treatment recommendations, and any health-related information shared through our educational programs should not be used as a substitute for professional medical consultation. Students with health conditions that may affect their learning should work with qualified healthcare providers to develop appropriate accommodation plans, and families should consult with medical professionals regarding any health concerns that arise during the educational process.
4.3 Screen Time and Digital Wellness
While we promote healthy technology use and provide guidance about digital wellness, families are ultimately responsible for monitoring their child's screen time, ensuring appropriate breaks from technology, and maintaining healthy learning environments at home. Extended periods of virtual learning may contribute to eye strain, physical discomfort, or social isolation, and families should work with healthcare providers to address any concerns about the physical or emotional effects of online education.
4.4 Crisis Intervention Limitations
Although our staff are trained to recognize signs of student distress and follow appropriate reporting procedures, we are not equipped to provide emergency mental health intervention or crisis counseling services. Families should have emergency contact information for local mental health crisis services, and students experiencing mental health emergencies should seek immediate professional help through emergency services, crisis hotlines, or mental health professionals rather than relying on school staff for crisis intervention.
5. LEGAL AND REGULATORY DISCLAIMERS
5.1 Legal Advice Disclaimer
Nothing contained in our educational materials, parent communications, student handbooks, or staff guidance should be construed as legal advice, and families should consult with qualified attorneys regarding any legal questions related to education law, special education rights, discrimination issues, or other legal matters affecting their child's educational experience. Our staff cannot provide legal interpretation of education laws or advise families about their legal rights and responsibilities under federal or state legislation.
5.2 State Education Law Compliance
While Skhillz Academy operates in compliance with Florida education regulations, families are responsible for understanding and complying with their own state's compulsory education laws, graduation requirements, college admission standards, and other educational regulations that may apply to their specific circumstances. Education laws vary significantly between states, and families relocating or considering enrollment should verify that our services meet their state's legal requirements for homeschooling, virtual education, or alternative educational arrangements.
5.3 Accreditation and Credit Transfer
Although we maintain high educational standards and follow recognized curriculum frameworks, we cannot guarantee that all credits, grades, or educational records will be accepted by other schools, colleges, or educational institutions, as transfer policies vary widely among different institutions and may change over time. Families should verify credit transfer policies with receiving institutions before making educational decisions, and we recommend maintaining comprehensive educational records to support any future transfer or college application processes.
5.4 Professional Licensing and Certification
Our educational programs are designed to provide strong academic preparation, but we cannot guarantee that graduates will meet all requirements for professional licensing, certification programs, or specialized career training that may have specific educational prerequisites. Students interested in careers requiring professional licensure should research specific requirements in their intended field and verify that our educational approach aligns with those professional standards.
6. FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS DISCLAIMERS
6.1 Tuition and Fee Changes
Tuition rates, fee structures, and payment policies are subject to change with appropriate notice as required by our enrollment agreements, and we cannot guarantee that current pricing will remain unchanged throughout a student's entire educational program. Economic conditions, changes in educational technology costs, regulatory requirements, or program enhancements may necessitate adjustments to our pricing structure, though we will always provide families with advance notice of any changes affecting their financial obligations.
6.2 Refund Policy Limitations
Our refund policies are clearly outlined in our enrollment agreements and terms of service, but certain circumstances such as technology failures, instructor illness, natural disasters, or other unforeseen events may affect the delivery of educational services in ways that could impact refund calculations. We will work with families to address such situations fairly and reasonably, but our refund obligations are limited to the specific terms outlined in our written policies and applicable state law requirements.
6.3 Business Continuity and Service Availability
While we are committed to providing consistent, high-quality educational services, we cannot guarantee that Skhillz Academy will continue operations indefinitely, as business operations can be affected by economic conditions, regulatory changes, natural disasters, or other circumstances beyond our control. In the unlikely event that we are unable to continue providing services, we will work to assist families with educational record transfers and provide reasonable notice to minimize disruption to students' educational progress.
6.4 Third-Party Financial Services
We may work with third-party payment processors, financial aid organizations, or educational financing companies to facilitate tuition payments or provide financial assistance options, but we are not responsible for the policies, practices, or financial stability of these external organizations. Families should carefully review the terms and conditions of any third-party financial services and understand that their agreements with such organizations are separate from their enrollment agreement with Skhillz Academy.
7. COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION DISCLAIMERS
7.1 Website Content Accuracy
While we strive to maintain current and accurate information on our website, educational materials, and promotional communications, some content may become outdated due to changes in educational standards, technology updates, staff changes, or program modifications that occur between regular website updates. Families should verify important information such as enrollment deadlines, program requirements, and policy details by contacting our administrative staff directly rather than relying solely on website content that may not reflect the most recent changes.
7.2 Third-Party Links and Resources
Our website and educational materials may include links to external websites, educational resources, or third-party services that we believe may be helpful to students and families, but we do not endorse, control, or take responsibility for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of these external sites. Families should exercise caution when accessing third-party websites and review their privacy policies and terms of service independently, as these external resources are not subject to our oversight or quality control measures.
7.3 Social Media and Online Presence
Information shared through our social media accounts, online forums, or other digital communications channels is intended for general informational purposes and may not reflect official school policies or procedures. Families should contact our administrative staff directly for official information about enrollment, academic policies, or other important matters rather than relying on social media posts or informal online communications that may be incomplete or misunderstood.
7.4 Translation and Language Services
While we may provide educational materials or communications in languages other than English to better serve diverse families, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of translated content, as translation errors or cultural misunderstandings may occur despite our best efforts to provide clear communication. Families who have questions about translated materials should request clarification in their preferred language, and official policy documents in English will take precedence in case of any discrepancies or conflicts with translated versions.
8. STUDENT SAFETY AND SUPERVISION DISCLAIMERS
8.1 Home Learning Environment
Skhillz Academy provides virtual educational services, but we do not supervise students' physical home learning environments or have direct control over safety conditions in family homes during online learning sessions. Parents and guardians are responsible for ensuring that their child has a safe, appropriate learning space free from physical hazards, distractions, or unsafe conditions, and for providing appropriate supervision during educational activities based on their child's age, maturity level, and individual needs.
8.2 Online Safety and Digital Interactions
While we provide education about internet safety and maintain security measures on our learning platforms, we cannot monitor or control all online interactions that students may have outside of our official educational platforms, including social media use, personal communications with classmates, or access to other websites during their free time. Families are responsible for implementing appropriate internet safety measures at home and monitoring their child's broader online activity beyond school-related technology use.
8.3 Emergency Response Limitations
Because our educational services are delivered virtually, our ability to respond to medical emergencies, safety threats, or crisis situations in students' homes is limited compared to traditional schools with physical campuses and on-site personnel. Families should have appropriate emergency response plans in place and understand that school staff cannot provide immediate physical assistance during emergencies, though we will follow appropriate reporting procedures and work with families to connect them with local emergency services when necessary.
8.4 Mandated Reporting Obligations
While our staff are mandated reporters who are legally required to report suspected child abuse or neglect to appropriate authorities, our ability to observe and assess students' physical well-being is limited in virtual learning environments compared to traditional classroom settings. Families should understand that virtual education may provide fewer opportunities for school personnel to identify signs of abuse or neglect, and community members should remain vigilant about child welfare and report concerns through appropriate channels.
9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMERS
9.1 Educational Content Usage
While we provide access to various educational materials, textbooks, online resources, and multimedia content as part of our educational program, students and families are responsible for using these materials in accordance with applicable copyright laws and licensing agreements. Educational use of copyrighted materials has specific limitations under federal copyright law, and families should not assume that all educational content can be freely copied, distributed, or used outside of the specific educational context for which it was provided.
9.2 Student Work and Privacy
Students retain ownership of their original creative work and assignments, but by participating in our educational program, they grant Skhillz Academy limited rights to use their work for educational assessment, program evaluation, and improvement purposes. However, we cannot guarantee complete privacy or confidentiality of student work that is submitted through digital platforms, as online educational systems may involve some inherent privacy risks despite our implementation of appropriate security measures.
9.3 Third-Party Educational Resources
Our curriculum may incorporate educational content, software applications, or digital resources created by third-party publishers or educational technology companies, and use of these materials is subject to the licensing agreements and terms of service established by those external content providers. We cannot guarantee continued access to all third-party resources throughout a student's educational program, as licensing agreements may change or expire, and some educational content may become unavailable due to factors beyond our control.
9.4 Recording and Documentation Policies
While we may record some virtual classes or educational sessions for quality assurance, staff training, or makeup purposes, families should not assume that all educational interactions will be recorded or that recordings will be available for extended periods of time. Additionally, students and families are generally prohibited from recording virtual classes or school interactions without explicit permission, as such recordings may violate privacy rights of other students and staff members.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
10.1 Scope of Liability Limitations
Skhillz Academy's liability for any claims arising from educational services, technology issues, or other aspects of our program is limited to the total amount of tuition and fees paid by the affected family during the current academic year. We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages including but not limited to lost educational opportunities, emotional distress, lost income, or costs associated with obtaining alternative educational services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
10.2 Force Majeure and Uncontrollable Circumstances
We are not liable for delays, interruptions, or failures in providing educational services due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, government actions, public health emergencies, internet service disruptions, power outages, cyber attacks, labor disputes, or acts of terrorism. During such events, we will make reasonable efforts to maintain educational continuity and communicate with families about alternative arrangements, but our obligations may be suspended until normal operations can be safely resumed.
10.3 Third-Party Service Provider Issues
While we carefully select technology vendors and educational service providers, we are not liable for failures, interruptions, security breaches, or other issues caused by third-party companies that provide essential services such as internet hosting, video conferencing platforms, learning management systems, or educational software applications. Our responsibility is limited to making reasonable efforts to work with vendors to resolve issues and provide alternative solutions when possible.
10.4 Individual Student Outcomes
We are not liable for individual student academic outcomes, social-emotional development, or personal circumstances that may be affected by participation in virtual education, as many factors influencing student success are beyond our control including family dynamics, individual learning differences, external stressors, health conditions, and personal choices made by students and families. Our obligation is limited to providing quality educational services according to our published policies and procedures.
11. INDEMNIFICATION
11.1 Student and Family Indemnification
Students and families agree to indemnify and hold harmless Skhillz Academy, its employees, contractors, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or legal expenses arising from misuse of our educational platforms, violation of our policies or terms of service, illegal activities conducted using school technology resources, or breach of intellectual property rights. This includes but is not limited to costs associated with legal defense, settlements, or judgments resulting from inappropriate student behavior or family actions that violate applicable laws or our policies.
11.2 Technology Misuse Protection
Families are responsible for any damages or legal issues resulting from their child's inappropriate use of technology resources, including but not limited to cyberbullying, harassment of other students or staff, unauthorized access to computer systems, distribution of inappropriate content, or violation of copyright laws. We reserve the right to seek reimbursement for costs associated with addressing technology misuse including system repairs, legal consultations, and administrative time required to resolve such incidents.
11.3 Third-Party Claims
Students and families agree to protect Skhillz Academy from claims made by other parties including other students, families, educational institutions, or service providers that arise from their actions, statements, or behavior during participation in our educational program. This protection extends to claims related to defamation, discrimination, harassment, privacy violations, or other harmful conduct that may result in legal action against our organization.
12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND GOVERNING LAW
12.1 Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This Disclaimer Policy and all related educational service agreements are governed by the laws of the State of Florida and applicable federal education laws, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any legal disputes arising from educational services or this policy will be resolved in the courts of Orange County, Florida, and all parties consent to the jurisdiction of these courts for purposes of litigation related to educational services or policy interpretation.
12.2 Dispute Resolution Process
Before pursuing formal legal action, parties agree to attempt resolution of disputes through good faith negotiations and, if necessary, mediation conducted by a qualified mediator experienced in educational matters. Mediation costs will be shared equally between parties unless otherwise agreed, and mediation proceedings will be conducted in Orange County, Florida, or through virtual mediation platforms when agreed upon by all parties.
12.3 Limitation on Legal Actions
Any legal claims related to educational services, this Disclaimer Policy, or other aspects of the relationship between students/families and Skhillz Academy must be filed within one (1) year of the date when the claiming party knew or should have known about the circumstances giving rise to the claim. This limitation period applies regardless of the form of action and is designed to ensure that disputes are addressed promptly while relevant information and evidence are still available.
12.4 Class Action Waiver
Students and families agree that any disputes with Skhillz Academy will be resolved on an individual basis and waive the right to participate in class action lawsuits, mass arbitrations, or similar collective legal proceedings. This waiver ensures that disputes are resolved based on individual circumstances rather than being combined with unrelated claims from other parties, allowing for more focused and efficient resolution of specific concerns.
13. SEVERABILITY AND ENFORCEMENT
13.1 Severability of Provisions
If any provision of this Disclaimer Policy is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect, and the invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the original intent of the policy as much as possible.
13.2 Waiver of Enforcement
Our failure to enforce any provision of this Disclaimer Policy on any particular occasion does not constitute a waiver of that provision or our right to enforce it in the future. All provisions remain in effect regardless of whether we choose to take action regarding specific violations, and families should not assume that lack of enforcement in one situation means that the same provision will not be enforced in other circumstances.
13.3 Entire Agreement Integration
This Disclaimer Policy works in conjunction with our Terms and Conditions, Code of Conduct, Privacy Policy, and Enrollment Agreement to form the complete agreement between students/families and Skhillz Academy. In case of conflicts between different policy documents, the most restrictive provision will generally apply unless specific language indicates otherwise, and families should review all policy documents to understand their complete rights and obligations.
14. POLICY UPDATES AND MODIFICATIONS
14.1 Right to Modify Disclaimers
Skhillz Academy reserves the right to update, modify, or revise this Disclaimer Policy at any time to reflect changes in educational practices, legal requirements, technology developments, or business operations. Significant changes will be communicated to enrolled families with at least thirty (30) days advance notice, and continued use of our educational services after policy changes constitutes acceptance of the modified disclaimers and limitations.
14.2 Notification of Changes
Policy updates will be communicated through multiple channels including email notifications to enrolled families, posting on our website with prominent notice of changes, and inclusion in regular school communications such as newsletters or parent announcements. Families are responsible for staying informed about policy changes and should regularly review updated policy documents to understand current disclaimers and limitations affecting their educational services.
14.3 Effective Date of Changes
Modified disclaimer provisions become effective on the date specified in the updated policy document, and will apply to all educational services provided after that date regardless of when a student's enrollment began. However, dispute resolution procedures and liability limitations in effect at the time of enrollment will continue to apply to any claims arising from services provided before policy changes took effect.
