The agreement between Sophia James Education LLC and the families we serve.
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Sophia James Education LLC website located at www.sophiajameseducation.com and all related services, including our reading comprehension clubs, private tutoring, and digital products (collectively, the "Services").
By accessing our website, booking a discovery call, or enrolling in any program, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age, have the legal authority to enter into this agreement on behalf of yourself and any child you enroll, and agree to be bound by these Terms.
Sophia James Education LLC provides the following services:
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any service at any time with reasonable notice to enrolled families. If a service is discontinued after payment has been made, affected families will receive a pro-rated refund.
Our reading clubs are designed for children ages 8–14. All accounts must be created and managed by a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 years of age.
As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for:
Monthly memberships are billed on a recurring basis. By enrolling as a member, you authorize Sophia James Education LLC to charge your payment method on a monthly basis until you cancel. You may cancel at any time before your next billing date by contacting us at the email address below.
Single-cycle enrollments are charged as a one-time payment covering one complete book cycle of 6–8 sessions. There is no automatic renewal for single-cycle enrollments.
We accept payment via Stripe (credit/debit card) and PayPal. All payments are processed securely by these third-party providers. We do not store your payment card details.
Current pricing is displayed on our website. We reserve the right to change pricing at any time. Members will be given at least 30 days notice before any price change takes effect on their subscription.
Families who enroll at the founding member rate are locked into that rate for as long as their membership remains active without interruption. If a founding member cancels and later re-enrolls, the standard rate at that time will apply.
Our reading clubs are a safe, respectful, and joyful space for children. We expect all participants — children and parents alike — to uphold the following standards:
Kindness, respect, and active listening are the foundation of every session. Every child deserves to feel safe to share their ideas without judgment.
Sophia James Education LLC reserves the right to remove a student from a session or terminate an enrollment without refund if conduct standards are seriously or repeatedly violated, following a warning where appropriate.
All content on the Sophia James Education website and within our programs — including but not limited to discussion guides, curriculum materials, session outlines, written content, logos, and imagery — is the intellectual property of Sophia James Education LLC and is protected by applicable copyright law.
You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, publicly display, or create derivative works from any of our materials without prior written permission.
Purchasing access to our services grants you a personal, non-transferable license to use our materials for your own child's educational purposes only. This license does not permit commercial use, redistribution, or sharing with persons outside your immediate family.
Sophia James Education LLC does not record any live sessions. This is a deliberate privacy protection for all children in each group.
Parents and students are strictly prohibited from recording any portion of any session without the prior written consent of Sophia James Education LLC and all other participants. Violation of this policy is grounds for immediate termination of enrollment.
Session chat and communication within the Moodle platform is supervised by Sophia James Education LLC and governed by our Privacy Policy.
Our services are provided "as is" and "as available." While we are committed to delivering high-quality educational experiences, Sophia James Education LLC makes no warranty that:
Every child is different. We bring our full expertise and care to every session, but individual outcomes depend on many factors including the child's effort, consistency of attendance, and prior reading experience.
To the fullest extent permitted by Missouri law, Sophia James Education LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of our services, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of revenue, or any harm resulting from third-party platform outages (BigBlueButton, Moodle, Stripe, etc.).
Our total liability to you for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 30 days preceding the claim.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of our services shall be resolved in the courts of Missouri.
Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, we kindly ask that you contact us first so we can try to resolve any concern directly and fairly.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify enrolled families of any significant changes by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Your continued use of our services after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
The most current version of these Terms will always be available on this page, with the "Last updated" date at the top.
