Accelerate Program Terms and Conditions

Congratulations on being accepted to Accelerate, the second phase of the Praxis Program! Admission to Accelerate is highly selective, reflecting your effort, growth, and professionalism demonstrated in the Incubate phase, as well as your potential to succeed in your career. This phase is designed to launch your career through intensive coaching, skill-building, and a guaranteed job offer. By submitting payment, you agree to the following terms and conditions. Please read them carefully and contact us at admissions@joinpraxis.com with any questions.

1. Eligibility

1.1 Incubate Completion

Participants must successfully complete the Incubate program and be accepted through a separate application and interview process, evaluated based on engagement, professionalism, and job-readiness.

1.2 Job-Readiness

Eligibility for the guaranteed job offer requires active participation in all program components, including mentoring sessions, group calls, projects, communication, and interview preparation. If expectations are not met, Praxis will provide written notice of specific concerns and a minimum 14-day period to demonstrate meaningful improvement. If sufficient progress is not made during that time, Praxis may issue written notice revoking job offer eligibility.

1.3 Relocation Willingness

Job offers may be located outside of a participant’s current geographic area. While participants are not required to accept any offer, they must be open to relocating in order to remain eligible for the job offer guarantee. Praxis cannot guarantee that any offer will align with geographic preferences. Any job offer given in good faith during the program will be considered as fulfilling the guarantee, regardless of whether the participant accepts it.

1.4 Age and Work Eligibility

Participants under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian submit payment and confirm agreement to these terms. Some hiring partners may not employ minors due to legal or compliance restrictions. Praxis will make reasonable efforts to secure appropriate opportunities, but offers may be delayed until the participant turns 18. The job offer guarantee period may be extended at Praxis’s discretion to accommodate age-related constraints.

1.5 U.S. Citizenship Requirement

The Accelerate program is available only to U.S. citizens due to hiring partner requirements. You must be a U.S. citizen at the time of your application to be considered for enrollment and to qualify for the job offer guarantee.

2. Program Structure

The Accelerate program is a 6-month, fully online intensive program designed to prepare participants for full-time employment in marketing, sales, operations, customer success, and other related fields. It includes:

  • One-on-one and group mentorship.
  • Career-focused projects and interview preparation.
  • Professional communication coaching.

Optional in-person meetups may be offered, with no obligation to attend. Participants are responsible for any associated travel costs.

3. Job Offer Guarantee

3.1 Single Job Offer

Praxis guarantees one full-time job offer from a vetted hiring partner within 12 months of the official Accelerate start date, provided all participation and performance requirements are met. The offer may be remote or in-person and will align with the participant’s skills but may not match personal preferences (e.g., specific roles, locations, or compensation).

3.2 Job Interview Process

To remain eligible for the job offer guarantee, participants must cooperate fully with the job interview process. This includes:

  • Participating in interviews with Praxis partner companies or other companies, even if roles may require relocation or differ from personal preferences.
  • Responding promptly to communications from Praxis, Praxis partner or other companies (within 1–2 business days).
  • Following guidance from Praxis and its representatives regarding application strategy, interview preparation, and follow-up steps.
  • Demonstrating professionalism in all hiring interactions.

Refusing to interview or failing to engage with potential opportunities may be treated as a voluntary withdrawal from the job offer guarantee. If such concerns arise, Praxis will provide written notice and allow a 14-day grace period to resume full cooperation. Failure to make meaningful progress may result in revocation of the guarantee at Praxis’s sole discretion, with final notice provided in writing.

3.3 Fulfillment

Once an offer is made, Praxis’s guarantee obligation is fulfilled. Participants are not required to accept the offer, and declining it does not affect alumni status. However, Praxis is not obligated to secure additional job offers if the initial offer is declined for any reason. If the participant accepts the job offer but the employment does not continue beyond the initial trial or onboarding period for any reason, Praxis will still consider the guarantee fulfilled and is not obligated to secure an additional offer.

3.4 Non-Fulfillment

If no offer is made within 12 months and all requirements are met, Praxis will: (1) extend job search support for up to 6 additional months, (2) offer independent job search assistance, or (3) provide a full refund of tuition paid. The remedy will be determined on a case-by-case basis, prioritizing good-faith resolution.

3.5 Payment Requirement

Full tuition payment, per the selected payment plan, is required to remain eligible for the job offer guarantee. Late or missed payments may result in program removal and forfeiture of the guarantee.

3.6 Loss of Guarantee Due to Non-Compliance

In addition to the specific cases above, Praxis reserves the right to revoke eligibility for the job offer guarantee if the participant:

  • Misses scheduled interviews without notice.
  • Fails to submit applications, respond to feedback, or take other required steps in the job interview process.
  • Demonstrates a pattern of delayed or unprofessional communication.

Such revocation will follow a written notice and 14-day opportunity to re-engage, unless the conduct warrants immediate removal.

4. Alumni Status and Benefits

4.1 Praxis Alumni

Participants achieve alumni status upon successful completion of Accelerate, granting long-term recognition as a Praxis graduate.

4.2 Community Access

During Accelerate, participants receive full access to the Praxis Community Slack workspace. Post-graduation, alumni retain indefinite access to the alumni Slack channel. Full Slack access continues only for alumni who maintain active membership in the Praxis Alumni Guild as dues-paying members.

4.3 Praxis Alumni Guild

This optional paid membership provides extended access to the full Slack community, exclusive career resources, mentorship, and discounted registration for events like the annual Praxis Weekend. Joining is not required to maintain alumni status.

5. Tuition and Refund Policy

5.1 Program Cost

The total cost is $6,650 if paid upfront before the program start date, or $7,500 via an installment plan (two payments of $3,750, the first due before the program start date, the second due three months later). This is separate from the $850 Incubate fee.

5.2 Refund Policy

  • Full Refund: You may request a full refund of the program fee within 7 days of the program start date for any reason. To request a refund, email admissions@joinpraxis.com with your full name and contact details. Sharing a reason for the request is optional but appreciated. Refunds will be processed within 30 business days of receiving a valid request.
  • Upfront Payment – Voluntary Withdrawal: After the 7-day window but before the beginning of the third month of the program, participants who paid upfront may receive a 50% refund.
  • Installment Plan – Voluntary Withdrawal: Participants who withdraw from the program after the 7-day refund period and before their second installment is due may request to cancel future billing. The first installment payment is non-refundable.
  • No Refunds After 3 Months: No refunds are issued after the 3-month mark, except in cases of job guarantee non-fulfillment (see Section 3.3).

5.3 Program Cancellation by Praxis

If Praxis cancels the program before completion, participants receive a pro-rata refund based on the remaining program duration.

5.4 Missed Payments

Failure to complete the installment plan on schedule may result in program removal and forfeiture of the job offer guarantee. If the second installment payment is late, participants will be suspended from the Accelerate curriculum until payment is received. There is no financial penalty for late payment; however, the job offer guarantee will no longer apply. No refunds will be issued for missed or late payments.

5.5 Non-Compliance

Participants removed for misconduct, lack of engagement, or other violations of these terms are not eligible for refunds.

6. Participant Responsibilities

6.1 Professional Conduct

Participants must act with integrity and professionalism in all interactions with Praxis staff, mentors, hiring partners, peers, and others encountered throughout the program.

6.2 Active Engagement

To remain in good standing, participants must:

  • Attend all weekly workshops and coaching sessions, which are held virtually, with your camera on, in a distraction-free setting suitable for professional engagement.
  • Provide 24 hours’ notice for unavoidable absences (limited to three excused absences).
  • Complete all assignments on time, incorporating advisor feedback.
  • Respond to Praxis communications within two business days.

If engagement falls below expectations, Praxis will provide written notice outlining specific concerns and a 14-day grace period to demonstrate meaningful improvement. Failure to improve may result in program removal and/or written notice revoking eligibility for the job offer guarantee.

6.3 Misrepresentation

Providing false information (e.g., availability, skills, or intent to work) may result in immediate removal without refund.

6.4 Intellectual Property

All work created during the program (e.g., projects, portfolios) remains the participant’s property, but Praxis and its partners are granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use such work for program-related purposes (e.g., evaluation, promotion).

7. Your Privacy

7.1 Session Recording Notice

By participating in the program, you consent to the recording, transcription, and analysis of live virtual sessions including workshops, coaching calls, and group discussions to help improve the learning experience and support participant progress.

We may also collect standard participation data, such as attendance and session duration, to help us understand engagement and better support your progress. This information is used internally by the Praxis team and will not be shared publicly without your permission.

7.2 Data Privacy

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Praxis collects only the personal information necessary to administer the program (e.g., name, contact details, project submissions). This information is stored securely and is not shared with third parties outside the program without your consent, unless required by law. All data is handled in compliance with applicable U.S. privacy laws.

8. Intellectual Property

8.1 Ownership and Use

All program materials, including mentorship content, project templates, session recordings, and other resources, are owned by Praxis. You may not reproduce, distribute, share, or use these materials for any purpose other than participating in the program without written permission from Praxis. Unauthorized use or sharing may result in termination from the program without a refund.

8.2 Prohibited Use

You may not copy, transmit, or use program content in whole or in part for training machine learning models, language models, or any automated systems without explicit written permission.

  • Failure to follow program guidelines.
  • Harmful or illegal behavior (e.g., harassment, fraud, or violations of law).
  • Disruptive conduct that interferes with the program experience.
  • Ongoing lack of engagement (e.g., failure to attend sessions or complete projects).
  • Misrepresentation of identity, qualifications, or intent to participate.
  • Unauthorized use or distribution of program materials.

No refunds will be issued for terminations after the 7-day full refund period. Praxis may also bar participation in future programs in such cases.

10. Program Modifications

Praxis reserves the right to modify program content, schedules, delivery methods, tuition, or these terms at its discretion, with 14 days’ written notice to participants. Such changes will not affect the job offer guarantee for eligible participants. In cases of unforeseen circumstances (e.g., technological failures, pandemics, or other events beyond Praxis’s control), sessions may be suspended or rescheduled. Praxis will make reasonable efforts to deliver the full program experience.

11. Limitation of Liability

Praxis, its staff, mentors, and partners are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from program participation, including job outcomes or compensation. Success depends on participant effort and adherence to program expectations. Participation in Accelerate does not create an employment relationship between the participant and Praxis or its hiring partners.

12. Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising from these Terms will be resolved through binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in Wilmington, Delaware. You agree to pursue arbitration before initiating any legal action, ensuring a fair and efficient resolution process. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, except where arbitration is deemed unenforceable.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its conflict of law principles. Any arbitration or legal proceedings will take place in Wilmington, Delaware.
