Terms of Service
Honest Pete is run by Varsity Vine LLC ("we"). By using honestpete.com or booking a call, you agree to these terms.
What Honest Pete is
Honest Pete connects prospective college students and their families with current college students for short, paid video calls about what life at a school is like.
Students share their own personal opinions. They don't speak for their university, can't influence admissions, and aren't giving professional advice. Honest Pete isn't affiliated with or endorsed by any college. Check important facts, like deadlines and costs, with the school directly.
Who can book
You must be 18 or older, or have a parent or guardian's approval, to book. If the prospective student is under 15, a parent or guardian must book the call or join it.
Payment and refunds
Each call is $29 ($25 during launch pricing) for 20 minutes, paid through Stripe when you book. Cancellations and refunds follow our Cancellation & Refund Policy.
Rules
Everyone on a call must follow our Safety rules. We may cancel a call, or remove anyone from Honest Pete, if those rules are broken.
Limits
Honest Pete is provided "as is." We can't guarantee what any student says, or that the site will always work perfectly. To the extent the law allows, our total responsibility for any problem is limited to what you paid for the call involved.
Disagreements
If something goes wrong, please email us first. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina.
Changes
We may update these terms. If we do, we'll change the date at the top of this page. The terms in place when you booked apply to that booking.
