The terms and conditions set forth below are integral to the provision of services by Prashant Pinge ("LemonEd") to any customer or client ("Client"). LemonEd provides services in admissions consulting and career coaching, each with its own terms and conditions.

 

When you purchase services from LemonEd, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement ("Agreement").

​

ii) Scope of Study Abroad Services

Elite Admissions Advisory is a paid, package-based consulting service designed for applicants targeting selective undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Under this model, LemonEd provides structured, high-touch advisory support, including strategic guidance, positioning, and feedback on application components.

​

Services under Elite Admissions Advisory are advisory in nature only. LemonEd does not submit applications, communicate with institutions on behalf of the Client, or make admissions decisions.

​

Under this model, LemonEd may:

Clients acknowledge that Global Education Pathways differs from Elite Admissions Advisory in structure and delivery, and that certain services may be provided by third parties not controlled by LemonEd.
