Effective Date: October 8, 2026 · Terms version 2026-10-v3
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Next Goal ("Next Goal", "we", "us", or "our"), a web-based platform that helps student-athletes connect with college coaches through personalized outreach. By using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. Users under 18 must have the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
NextGoal plans are subscriptions, billed monthly or yearly: Plus ($77/month or $324/year) and Max ($97/month or $396/year). The billing period and price are shown at checkout and renew automatically until cancelled. Some earlier customers hold one-time lifetime plans (Plus $299, Max $499, with a one-time $200 Plus to Max upgrade); those never renew.
New customers may be offered a 24-hour free trial. Starting a trial saves your card with our payment provider, Stripe, and nothing is charged at signup. When the 24-hour trial ends, the card on file is automatically charged the plan price that was shown at signup, and the subscription renews at that price until cancelled. If a conversion charge fails, we may retry it on the schedule disclosed at signup.
Cancelling is self-serve inside the app: open Settings, then Plan and Billing, or use the trial banner, and confirm with one click. Cancelling during the trial takes effect immediately and the saved card is never charged. Cancelling a paid subscription stops the next renewal; access continues through the period already paid for. No contact with support is required to cancel.
Free trials are limited to one per person, household, and payment method. We may deny or revoke promotional offers, including trials, where we believe accounts were created to circumvent these limits, and may suspend duplicate accounts.
Refunds: trial conversion charges, first subscription payments, and one-time purchases are refundable within 48 hours of the charge by emailing support@nextgoal.college. After 48 hours, fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law.
All payments are securely processed through our third-party provider, Stripe. Charges appear on your card statement as NEXT GOAL (for example NEXT GOAL* MAX).
Legacy subscriptions: accounts on older recurring plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis and automatically renew unless canceled. Legacy subscribers can cancel anytime via Manage subscription in Settings; access continues through the end of the paid period.
If you connect your Gmail account, you authorize us to send emails on your behalf using content you explicitly create or approve.
We request the following Gmail API scopes:
If you enable reply detection, the text of coach replies may be processed by our AI service provider, Anthropic, to identify genuine responses and to generate suggested reply drafts you review and approve. Details are in our Privacy Policy.
You can revoke Gmail access at any time by disconnecting Gmail in Next Goal settings or via your Google Account permissions at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions.
Our use of Gmail data complies fully with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use Requirements.

You retain all rights to content you create or upload (e.g., email messages).
We only store and transmit your content to provide the Service.
You are solely responsible for the legality and content of all communications sent using the Service.

The Service is provided "as is" and without warranties of any kind.
We do not guarantee email delivery, specific outcomes, or uninterrupted access.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to the total amount you paid in the past 12 months or $50, whichever is greater.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Next Goal, its affiliates, and service providers from any claims arising from your use of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms.
These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. All legal proceedings shall take place in the state or federal courts located in California, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
We may modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the platform or via email. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
