Asynchronous editorial feedback on the selected law school admissions document

Office Hours

Scope of Service

A 7sage consultant will meet with you via Google Meet (or, if you request, a phone call) for one 30-minute appointment to discuss your admissions questions ("Admissions Services").

Enumeration of Admissions Services

For Office Hours, 7Sage's Admissions Services will consist of the following:

One 30-minute conversion about your admissions questions

This package does not come with written follow-ups, nor is it suitable for document review.

Time Period

You will select a timeslot when you book. If you miss or are more than 10-minutes late to the meeting, we will cancel the meeting without refund.

Mock Application Review

Scope of Service

7Sage will provide strategic consultation and editorial guidance to help the Client with one application to one American or Canadian JD program. The Admissions Services will consist of one round of written feedback, one 30-minute follow-up call, and one round of proofreading for the application. The Client will work with one 7Sage consultant.

Enumeration of Admissions Services

For Mock Application Review, 7Sage's Admissions Services will consist of the following:

A written review (shared electronically) of the Client's application materials for one law school, including the Client's personal statement, résumé, diversity statement, addenda, and school-specific essays, subject to other terms of this agreement
After the written review, we guarantee one follow-up call of at least 30 minutes if you request such a phone call and if you want to speak for 30 minutes
Proofreading of one document of up to 1200 words, provided the Client returns this document within 14 days of receiving their consultant's feedback.

Time Period

The Mock Application Review can only be used within the admissions cycle for which it was purchased. If the Client does not send us an application for review within the admissions cycle for which the Client purchased it, the Mock Application Review will expire on the last day of August of that admissions cycle.

For example, if you purchase a Mock Application Review in October 2025 with the intention of submitting your application during the 2025–2026 admissions season, your Mock Application Review will expire on August 31, 2026.

You may also purchase a Mock Application Review prior to an admissions cycle during which you intend to use it.

Hourly Consulting

Scope of Service

7Sage will provide Admissions Services in the form of strategic consultation and/or editorial guidance by the hour. We'll track our time to the nearest minute and let you know how much time you have left after each interaction.

After your hourly purchase, you'll receive a welcome email. When you reply, a 7Sage manager will read over your response in order to pair you with a consultant. This reading time is not on the clock. All of your consultant's work time, however, is on the clock, including the time they spend reading your initial email.

Example: You want help with a character and fitness issue. You send us an explanation of a disciplinary incident and ask what to do. A 7Sage manager reads over your email and pairs you with Conny Consultant. This pairing process does not count against your time.

After you've been paired, Conny will start the clock as she reads your initial email and formulates a response.

We ask all new clients for a résumé. Unless you ask for feedback on your résumé, though, we'll only take a minute or two to glance over it. This orients us without taking much of your time.

We will not perform written feedback on a new document if you don't have at least 45 minutes left.

Enumeration of Admissions Services

For Hourly Consulting, 7Sage's Admissions Services will consist of the following:

Strategic consultation about the Client's choice of schools, timing of submissions, and other matters related to the Client's applications
Strategic guidance on any Documents the Client may need to write for their applications, subject to other terms of this agreement

Time Period

Hourly consulting expires one year after it was purchased. For the elimination of doubt, we will no longer be obligated to perform any further Admissions Services a year after your purchase.

After-the-App Support

Scope of Service

7Sage will provide Admissions Services in the form of strategic and editorial guidance on interview preparation, waitlist strategy, letters of continuing interest, financial aid and scholarship negotiation, school selection, and correspondence with law school admissions officers, for up to five Covered Schools.

Enumeration of Admissions Services

For After-App Support, 7Sage's Admissions Services will consist of the following:

Editorial guidance on correspondence with law school admissions officers to a Covered School after the submission of an application to that school
Interview preparation
Waitlist strategy and editorial guidance on letters of continuing interest
Strategic and editorial help on negotiating financial aid with law schools to which the Client was admitted

Time Period

After-the-App support ends on the last day of the August that follows the Client's purchase. The client may not Delay.

Example 1: You purchase After-the-App Support in October of 2023 and work with your consultants on and off from February 2024, when your results start rolling in, to April 2024, when you put down your seat deposit. Your Admissions Services expire on August 31, 2024.

Example 2: You purchase After-the-App Support in October of 2023, but come March, you have not gotten into any schools you want to go to. You may not delay 7Sage's Admissions Services to the following cycle; your After-the-App package will still expire on August 31, 2024.

General Terms

What's Not Included

None of 7Sage's Admissions Services include any of the following:

Writing original content or preparing application Documents on behalf of the Client
Fact-checking the Client's documents
Performing research for the Client
Editorial work on Documents that have been edited or critiqued by a third party after the Admissions Services commence
Editing letters of recommendation (although 7Sage will provide advice about recommendations)
Editorial work on any Document more than 500 percent longer than a School's stated length guideline
Logging onto LSAC's website or any other website with the Client's credentials
Assistance on applications to joint-degree or dual-degree ("Concurrent Degree") programs, such as MBA or LLM programs. (If the Client applies to a Concurrent Degree program, 7Sage will only help with the JD application. 7Sage will not help the Client write or adapt JD essays for use in a Concurrent Degree application.)
Assistance on applications to programs available only to admitted students, such as Georgetown's Global Law Scholars Program
Help on FAFSA applications
Direct interaction with law school admissions offices, financial aid offices, student organizations, or visa authorities on the Client's behalf
Help on LSAT accommodation requests
Conversations with the Client's parents or relatives, or with anyone other than the Client
Help from a writer if you are working solely with a former admissions officer
Help from a former admissions officer if you are working solely with a writer
Feedback on documents containing any text generated by ChatGPT or other AI-based programs

Proofreading Policy

For Admissions Consulting, Admissions Consulting Plus, and Writing Consulting, the Client is entitled to proofreading services for all documents associated with a Covered School. After the Client and 7Sage are both satisfied that a given Document (e.g., a personal statement) is finished, 7Sage shall offer to perform a Final Proofread on said Document with the Client's consent. The Final Proofread will be performed by a third-party proofreader, not the Consultant.

Every Mock Application Review and Unlimited Edits package comes with one proofread of a single document up to 1,200 words. The proofread is valid for up to 14 days after you receive feedback from your consultant.

Our proofread will not include any suggestions, advice, or feedback on your revisions. The proofread only covers grammar, typos, spelling mistakes, punctuation errors, and usage errors.

7Sage will not fact-check the Client's Documents and is not responsible for any factual errors.

Though our proofreaders are highly skilled and work hard to ensure accuracy, they are also capable of error. 7Sage cannot guarantee that the proofread Document will be error-free. It is ultimately the Client's responsibility to double-check Documents for errors prior to submitting their applications.

After the Final Proofread of a given Document, the Document shall be Finalized. If the Client has purchased one of the Consulting Packages, 7Sage may help the Client tailor a Finalized Document to a Covered School but will not otherwise replace or perform Admissions Services on the Finalized Document.

Example 1: The Client Finalizes a three-page personal statement for School A. The Client also wants to apply to School B, which requires two-page personal statements. 7Sage shall help the Client produce a two-page version of her personal statement.

Example 2: The Client Finalizes a personal statement for School A but wants to tailor it to School B. 7Sage shall help the client add a school-specific paragraph for School B.

Example 3: The Client Finalizes a personal statement about her experience as a legal intern but later decides that she really wants to write about bird watching. 7Sage shall not be obligated to help the Client write a new personal statement about bird watching.

Human summary: When we both agree that an essay is done, we'll do a Final Proofread. After that, we won't replace the essay or do any more edits on the essay unless the edits are necessary to tailor it for a given school.

Disengagement

For Admissions Consulting, Admissions Consulting Plus, and Writing Consulting clients: If a Client Disengages, 7Sage shall not make Substantial Revisions to any Documents on which 7Sage has already performed Services. Substantial Revisions are defined as any Service beyond proofreading for grammar, typos, punctuation errors, and usage mistakes.

7Sage shall consider that a Client has Disengaged if (1) 7Sage has ever given the Client feedback or suggestions for at least one Document and (2) the Client has not sent 7Sage a new draft of ANY Document for 45 days or more.

Example 1: 7Sage sends the Client feedback on a personal statement. The Client does not communicate to 7Sage for 45 days except to write, "Thanks, I'll think about it."

The Client has Disengaged. 7Sage will proofread the personal statement but won't otherwise revise it or help the Client write a new one.

Example 2: 7Sage sends the Client feedback on a personal statement. The Client does not respond to that email for 45 days but DOES send a draft of a diversity statement within 45 days.

The Client is still actively engaged. 7Sage shall help the Client complete both the personal statement and the diversity statement.

Human summary: If you stop working actively on your applications, we'll proofread documents we've already started, but we won't otherwise work on or replace them.

Delays

From time to time, a Client may decide to submit applications in a later application cycle than they originally intended.

A Client who has purchased Admissions Consulting, Admissions Consulting Plus, or Writing Consulting may Delay 7Sage's Admissions Services if the Client has not started to work on more than two different Documents with 7Sage OR their consultants have spent less than six hours, collectively, performing services associated with the package.

The Client may NOT delay a standalone After-the-App Support package.

Example 1: IF the Client has done some amount of work with 7Sage on a personal statement and diversity statement, THEN the Client may Delay.

Example 2: IF the Client has done some amount of work with 7Sage on a personal statement, diversity statement, and résumé, THEN the Client may NOT Delay.

If the Client has discussed or brainstormed a Document with 7Sage—either on the phone or by responding to written prompts or questions—7Sage shall consider that the Client has begun to work on that Document.

If the Client has brainstormed with 7Sage or discussed the Client's story, but has not explicitly specified what Document the discussion or brainstorm shall apply to, 7Sage shall consider that the Client has begun work on the Client's personal statement.

If the Client has (1) purchased another 7Sage service (e.g. Essay Workshop), (2) begun to work on a Document with that previous package, and (3) purchased one of the Consulting Packages that includes work on the original Document, 7Sage shall consider that the Client has begun to work on the Document that the Client started writing under the previous package.

If the Client Delays Writing Consulting, the Services shall end…

After the Client submits five applications to Covered Schools, OR
Six months after the Client submits the first application to a Covered School, OR
One year after the Client resumes working with 7Sage, OR
Three years after the Client purchases the Services.

If the Client Delays Admissions Consulting, the Services shall end…

On the last day of the August that follows the Client's first application to a Covered School, OR
A year and a half (eighteen months) after the Client Resumes the Services, OR
Three and a half years after the Client purchases the Services.

If the Client Delays Admissions Consulting Plus, the Services shall end…

On the last day of the August that follows the Client's first application to a Covered School, OR
Two years (eighteen months) after the Client Resumes the Services, OR
Four years after the Client purchases the Services.

In case of delays, the following conditions shall apply:

The Client shall inform 7Sage of their intention to Delay by February 1 of the cycle in which they began using the Services. After February 1, the Client may not Delay.
7Sage shall Finalize all Documents on which 7Sage has already performed any Services within 30 days of the Client notifying 7Sage of their intention to Delay.
7Sage shall consider that the Client has Resumed the Services when—after finishing all in-progress Documents and Delaying—the Client next uses 7Sage's Services.
The Client may not Resume Services until the July 1 that follows their decision to Delay, but may choose to Resume Services at any point after July 1.
For the purposes of this agreement, the Client may only Delay once.
If the Client purchased their package after April 7, 2025: When the Client Resumes, the Client's Services shall be subject to the most recent version of this Agreement, even if the Client began the Services under an earlier version of this Agreement.
If the Client purchased their package before April 7, 2025: When the Client Resumes, the Client's Services shall be subject to the version of this Agreement that was in effect on the last day of April 6, 2025.
7Sage cannot guarantee that the Client will be paired with the same Consultant or Consultants when the Client Resumes.
If the Client is paying for their service on an installment plan, the Client must continue making payments according to their original payment schedule and may not delay those payments until the next cycle.
The Client cannot resume the Service until they have paid their full balance.

Human summary: If you've started working on two documents or fewer, you can delay your admissions cycle, but you have to finalize what you started before you take a break. For example, if we're working on your personal statement, you have to finalize the personal statement within 30 days. We won't be able to help you with a new personal statement or change your personal statement next cycle except to tailor it to each school.

If you haven't started a given essay before you delay, we can work on it with you later.

You have to tell us by February 1 if you're going to delay, you can resume on July 1, and you can only delay your admissions cycle once.

Payment

The Client agrees to pay for 7Sage's Admissions Services in full, if the Client has not already done so, according to a schedule agreed upon by the Client and 7Sage (the "Payment Plan").

7Sage does not allow the Client to "downgrade" from the Consulting package to another package.

No-Shows and Late Cancellations

The Client agrees to provide at least 24-hours notice before cancelling any meeting. If the Client misses two meetings without giving at least 24-hours notice, we reserve the right to terminate the service without issuing a refund.

Essay Workshop clients who miss their scheduled meeting or fail to give 24-hours notice before cancelling those meetings will forfeit their payment for the service and cannot reschedule.

Refunds

7Sage offers a qualified six-day refund policy. If the Client requests a refund within six days of payment, the Client shall be entitled to a full refund less $250 per hour of 7Sage's work time and less a 6% processing fee. For example, if we've spent half an hour with you, we can refund your purchase less $125 + 6% of the total cost for processing. The Client acknowledges that this refund policy will govern even if the Client encounters unforeseen circumstances.

From time to time, 7Sage may be sold out and offer potential Clients a spot on a Waitlist. If 7Sage has offered a consulting or editorial package from a Waitlist and the Client has purchased from said Waitlist, such purchase will not be eligible for any refund unless otherwise noted.

7Sage shall not be obligated to refund the Client if and because the Client is disappointed by the results of their Applications.

Human summary: You can ask for a refund within six days, but we'll charge you $250 per hour for any work we may have already done, plus a 6% processing fee.

Chargebacks

In the event that the Client initiates a chargeback dispute with their credit card issuer or financial institution regarding any payment made to 7Sage under the terms of this Agreement, 7Sage shall immediately terminate all services provided under this Agreement.

Termination

7Sage reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time if the Client misrepresents facts about themself, acts egregiously, becomes hostile, proves impossible to satisfy, maintains unreasonable expectations, or makes unreasonable demands despite 7Sage's good-faith efforts. In such cases, 7Sage shall refund the Client on a prorated basis.

Acknowledgments

The Client's LSAT scores, undergraduate GPA, professional background, disciplinary record, and many factors over which 7Sage has no control will constrain and affect the Client's chances of admission to law school. 7Sage makes no guarantee, either explicit or implicit, that the Client will be admitted to any particular law school.

Law school application requirements and the processes by which law schools admit applicants may change from year to year, and 7Sage may from time to time be unaware of such changes.

The application to Yale Law School asks if you received assistance in preparing your application. If the answer is "yes," Yale asks you to specify from whom you received the assistance, the nature of the assistance, and whether or not you paid for the assistance. Answering "yes" may impact your chances of acceptance to Yale.

Human summary: We'll do our best to help you, but some of this is out of our control. We don't guarantee that you'll get accepted anywhere.

Confidentiality

7Sage will keep the Client's Documents and personal information confidential. 7Sage editors and consultants may share the Client's Documents and information with other 7Sage editors and consultants. 7Sage may also share the Client's documents with third-party proofreaders for the purpose of proofreading.

Legal Stuff

Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is void or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed omitted and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Assignment

7Sage shall have the right, at its election, to assign this Agreement to any person, firm, or corporation, including all 7Sage employees, contractors, shareholders, parent entities, subsidiaries, and affiliates. The Client may not assign its rights under this Agreement under any circumstances.

Integration

This Agreement constitutes the sole Agreement of the parties hereto and correctly states the rights, duties, and obligations of each party. Any prior agreement, promises, negotiations, or representations between the parties not expressly stated in this document are not binding. All subsequent modifications shall be in writing and agreed to by both parties.

Indemnification

7Sage is not responsible for any loss, injury, claim, liability, or damage (including a rejection from any law school or a decrease in the Client's LSAT score) related to the Client's use of the Materials or Services. The Client agrees to protect, indemnify, save, defend, and hold harmless 7Sage, its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent entities, and partners, and each of their assigns, agents, representatives, officers, directors, shareholders, contractors, and employees from and against any and all expenses, damages, claims, suits, actions, judgments, costs, and expenses whatsoever (including reasonable attorney's fees), arising out of, or in any way connected with (1) any breach of this Agreement; and/or (2) any acts or omissions of the Client. In the event 7Sage expends any monies in an effort to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Client shall reimburse 7Sage for all of the said costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees).

Other Terms of Service
