Effective Date: March 28, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using NailTheTest (“the Service”), operated by NailTheTest LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

NailTheTest is an exam preparation platform that helps you study, practice, and build confidence for high-stakes tests. Our proprietary learning engine continuously analyzes your performance, identifying where you need help and where you are strong, to focus your study time on what matters most. We grade your readiness and tell you when you are prepared.

For captain's license students, NailTheTest covers all four exam sections with 800+ practice questions, structured lessons, spaced repetition, and chart work feedback. For precalculus students, we offer chapter-by-chapter practice with an intelligent tutor available 24/7.

Educational content, not official exam preparation. NailTheTest is an independent educational platform. Our content is developed independently using publicly available regulations, standards, and educational best practices. We are not endorsed by, affiliated with, or sponsored by any government agency, testing authority, or educational institution. There is no guarantee that using the Service will result in passing any exam. Results depend on your effort, preparation, and the specific test administered.

Each account is for a single individual. Account sharing is not permitted. You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. Parents or guardians may create accounts on behalf of minors.

8. Learning Engine, AI Tutoring & Study Analytics

Our proprietary learning engine, tutor, chart checker, and study plan features use advanced technology, including AI services provided by Anthropic Claude, to personalize your experience. These outputs are educational aids and may occasionally contain errors. Always verify critical information against official publications and regulations.

AI tutoring is supplemental. The AI tutor is a study aid, not a replacement for classroom instruction, professional training, or hands-on experience. AI-generated explanations, feedback, and study recommendations may contain inaccuracies. Do not rely on AI tutor responses as authoritative sources for exam content.

Progress data and study analytics. The Service tracks your study sessions, question performance, section mastery, time spent, and readiness scores to provide personalized study recommendations. This data is associated with your account and is used solely to improve your learning experience. You may request deletion of your progress data by contacting techsupport@nailthetest.com. Parent accounts linked to student accounts may view the student's progress data.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that you will pass any exam. Results depend on your effort, preparation, and the specific test administered. If you do not pass and your access period has expired, contact us and we will extend your access at no additional charge. See our Disclaimer for details.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, NailTheTest LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

11. Modifications

We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notice. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
