Ardelia is an adaptive exam preparation platform. We provide practice questions, study content, mock exams, and progress tracking to help users prepare for licensing and certification examinations. Our current products include Texas, California, and Florida real estate license exam prep, food handler certification prep, and citizenship test prep.
Ardelia is a study tool. We do not provide pre-licensing education, continuing education credits, or any coursework required by licensing authorities. Ardelia is supplemental exam preparation only. We do not guarantee that use of our platform will result in passing any official examination.
Ardelia offers both free and paid access tiers. Paid access is available on a one-time payment basis (fixed duration or lifetime, depending on the plan selected). All prices are displayed in USD unless otherwise specified.
Payments are processed by Stripe. By purchasing, you agree to Stripe's terms of service.
Where offered, the Pass-Ready Guarantee provides a free access extension if you complete the required practice questions and one mock exam but do not pass the official examination. To qualify:
The guarantee provides an access extension only — it does not include a cash refund. We reserve the right to verify eligibility before extending access.
You agree not to:
All content on Ardelia — including questions, explanations, study guides, and software — is owned by Ardelia or its licensors. Nothing in these terms grants you any right to use our intellectual property outside of personal study use on the platform.
Ardelia is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any specific examination outcome will result from use of the platform. Use of the service is at your own risk.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Ardelia shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service, including but not limited to failure to pass an examination. Our total liability to you for any claim shall not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim or USD 100. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including liability for fraud or willful misconduct.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO BRING A LAWSUIT IN COURT, TO HAVE A DISPUTE DECIDED BY A JUDGE OR JURY, AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. IT REQUIRES INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION OF MOST DISPUTES.
Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration, you and Ardelia agree to try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 60 days after written notice of the dispute is provided. You may send notice to hello@ardeliaexam.co (include your name, account email, a description of the dispute, and the relief you seek); Ardelia will send notice to the email associated with your account. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days, either party may begin arbitration. Any applicable statute of limitations is tolled while the parties comply with this informal-resolution requirement.
Agreement to arbitrate. Except for the exceptions below, you and Ardelia agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service, these Terms, or our Privacy Policy — including claims under the California Invasion of Privacy Act or any similar federal, state, or local privacy, wiretapping, or electronic-communications law, and including any dispute about the validity, scope, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement — will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, and not in court.
Exceptions. Either party may (1) bring an individual claim in a small-claims court with jurisdiction, and (2) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect its intellectual property or confidential information. Nothing in this section prevents either party from reporting a complaint to a government agency.
Arbitration provider and rules. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (and, where applicable, its Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules), as modified by these Terms. If the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration, the parties will agree on, or a court will appoint, a comparable arbitration provider. The AAA rules are available at adr.org. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
How arbitration works. Where practicable the arbitration will be conducted by videoconference or telephone; if an in-person hearing is required, it will take place in the U.S. county where you reside or another mutually agreed location. Eligible claims may be decided on the documents alone under the AAA rules. The arbitrator will issue a written decision and may award the same individual relief a court could. Payment of arbitration fees is governed by the AAA rules; each party is responsible for its own attorneys' fees except where a statute or the AAA rules provide otherwise.
Delegation. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute about the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, except that a court (not an arbitrator) has exclusive authority to decide whether the Class Action Waiver below is enforceable.
Class action waiver. You and Ardelia agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, private-attorney-general, or other representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.
Coordinated (mass) filings. If 25 or more arbitration demands raising similar claims are filed against Ardelia by or with the assistance of the same or coordinated counsel, the AAA's Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules (including their fee schedule and any staged, bellwether, or mediation procedures) will apply, and any batching or staging of the demands will be conducted consistent with those rules and applicable law. The applicable limitations period is tolled for any demand awaiting administration in a later stage.
30-day right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement (including the class action waiver) by emailing hello@ardeliaexam.co with your name and account email within 30 days of first accepting these Terms or first using the Service, whichever is earlier. Opting out affects only this Dispute Resolution section and no other part of these Terms.
Severability and survival. If the Class Action Waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and brought in a court of competent jurisdiction while all other claims proceed in arbitration. If any other portion of this section is found unenforceable, the remainder will continue to apply. This section survives termination of your relationship with Ardelia.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. This choice of law does not deprive you of any non-waivable consumer protection afforded by the law of your state of residence. Subject to the arbitration provisions above, any dispute not subject to arbitration shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts, except where applicable law gives you the right to bring the proceeding in another jurisdiction.
We may update these terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or via the platform. Your continued use of Ardelia after notification constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Material changes to the "Dispute resolution; binding arbitration; class action waiver" section will not apply retroactively to any dispute of which Ardelia had actual notice before the change's effective date; where required, we will obtain renewed affirmative agreement.
