Terms and educational notices

Step to Pass Academy offers individual study mentorship for USMLE Step 1 preparation. It is an educational support service: it helps you organize your study, choose resources and review your progress. It is not a medical school, does not grant degrees or certifications, and does not replace your prep materials or the official exam resources.

• Website owner: [PENDING: legal name of the responsible party]
• Location: [PENDING: city, state or province, and country]
• Contact: hola@steptopass.com

We do not guarantee that you will pass the exam, reach a particular score or achieve any other outcome. The result depends on many factors outside our control, and decisions about your preparation and your exam date are yours.

The website content and the mentorship are for educational purposes. We do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment or clinical care, and nothing we share should be used to make decisions about anyone's health.

Step to Pass Academy is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by USMLE, NBME, FSMB or Intealth/ECFMG. The names of exams, organizations and study resources mentioned on the website belong to their respective owners and are used only to describe exam preparation.

By using the website and taking part in the mentorship, you agree to these rules:

• Do not share, ask for or distribute real exam questions, recalls or remembered exam content.
• Do not share copyrighted material or third-party question-bank content beyond what their licenses allow.
• Do not share accounts or subscriptions for study resources.

We do not ask for or hand out that kind of content either. We may end the relationship with anyone who breaks these rules.

Submitting the assessment does not commit you to hiring the mentorship, and it does not commit us to accepting you as a student. It is the first step for getting to know you and arranging a consultation.

We ask that the information you submit be true and your own, and that you do not include other people's details or patient information. How we use your information is explained in the privacy policy.

The mentorship takes place outside this website, directly with the mentors. Its scope, duration, cost and payment method are discussed in the consultation and agreed separately; this website does not process payments.

[PENDING: mentorship terms defined by the founders]

You may use the website to learn about the mentorship and to submit your own assessment. You may not use it to send spam, try to access other people's information or interfere with how it works.

The website's texts and design belong to Step to Pass Academy. You are welcome to share links to our pages; to reproduce the content, please write to us first.

We try to keep the website working well and the information correct, but it may contain errors or have interruptions, and it may change without notice.

[PENDING: legal review of the liability clauses, governing law and jurisdiction]

If we update these terms, we will change the date shown at the top. The version published on this page is the current one.
