Terms of Service

Last updated 30 July 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and Lekanis for use of the service. By creating an account or subscribing, you accept them.

What the service is

Lekanis is a study and preparation tool for students recruiting into real estate finance. It provides original written briefings on transactions and market events, practice questions, interview practice and related study features. Written material is produced with the help of AI and may be incomplete or wrong.

It is not financial advice. Nothing in the service is investment, financial, legal, accounting or tax advice, nor a recommendation to buy or sell any security or asset. We are not a broker, adviser or fiduciary, and you should not make financial decisions on the basis of anything here. We also make no promise about any recruiting or employment outcome.

Who you are contracting with

Lekanis is operated from New York, United States. These terms are a contract between you and the operator of Lekanis, reachable at privacy@lekanis.com.

Your account

• You must be at least 16, or the minimum age of digital consent where you live if that is higher.
• Give accurate information and keep your login credentials to yourself.
• One account per person. Accounts are personal and may not be shared, resold, or used by more than one individual.
• You are responsible for activity under your account.

Plans and pricing

Subscriptions are billed in advance through Stripe. Current plans:

• Reader — $9.99 per month, or $89.90 per year. Annual is 25% less than paying monthly for twelve months, so three months are free.
• Prep — $19.99 per month, or $179.90 per year. Annual is 25% less than paying monthly for twelve months, so three months are free.
• Analyst — $24.99 per month, or $224.90 per year. Annual is 25% less than paying monthly for twelve months, so three months are free.

Prices are in US dollars and exclude any tax that must be added at checkout. We may change prices, but a change never applies to your current billing period, and if it affects your renewal we will tell you beforehand. Existing subscribers keep the price they signed up at unless we say otherwise.

Free trial

The Prep plan includes a 7-day free trial. A payment method is collected when the trial starts, and unless you cancel before the trial ends the subscription continues automatically and the first charge is taken at that point. Trials are limited to one per customer, and the other plans do not include a trial.

Renewal and cancellation

• Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period — monthly or annual — until you cancel.
• You can cancel at any time from Account, which opens Stripe’s billing portal. No email or phone call is required.
• Cancelling stops future charges. Your access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for, and it is not cut short.

Changing plan

You can move between plans at any time. A change takes effect immediately: Stripe credits the unused part of your current plan against the new one and charges or credits the difference, and from then on you are billed at the new plan’s price. Moving between plans does not start a new free trial, and it does not extend one you are already in.

Refunds

Because access continues to the end of a period you have paid for, we do not generally give partial refunds for time left on a plan, and we do not refund a period simply because it was not used. Nothing here limits any statutory right you have — including a statutory cancellation or cooling-off right where your law provides one. If something went wrong, such as a duplicate charge or a billing error, email privacy@lekanis.com and we will put it right.

Failed payments

If a payment fails, Stripe retries it and your access continues while it does, so a declined card does not lock you out mid-week. If the payment is still unresolved after 7 days we cancel the subscription and access ends. You can restore access at any time by subscribing again with a working payment method.

Weekly unlocks

Maintaining a reading streak can temporarily unlock a feature from the plan above yours. These unlocks are a promotional extra, last for the period stated when granted, are not part of what you have purchased, and can be changed or withdrawn at any time.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Share your account, or give others access to paid material through it.
• Scrape, bulk-export, republish or resell content from the service.
• Use the service to build a competing product, or to train a machine-learning model.
• Attempt to bypass paywalls, tier limits, rate limits or authentication.
• Interfere with the service’s operation or security, or use it unlawfully.

We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms. Where the breach is not serious we will normally warn you first.

Content and ownership

The briefings, questions and other material in the service are our original work and remain ours. Your subscription gives you a personal, non-transferable licence to use them for your own study while it is active. It does not transfer ownership or permit redistribution.

What you write — saved notes, folder names, answers, chat messages — stays yours. You grant us only the permission needed to operate the service for you, such as storing it and sending it to our AI provider when you ask for a briefing or a grade.

Third-party names, including firm names, appear for identification and commentary only. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for any firm mentioned.

Availability

We aim to keep the service running but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. It may be unavailable for maintenance, or because a provider we depend on fails. Features may change, and we may add or remove them.

Disclaimers and liability

The service is provided “as is” and, to the extent the law allows, without warranties of any kind, including that content is accurate, complete or current. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost opportunity, or a recruiting or investment outcome, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before it arose.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.

This does not take away rights you cannot give up. If you are a consumer, you keep the protections of the mandatory law of the country you live in, including the right to bring proceedings in your local courts where that law says you may. Nothing in these terms limits your statutory rights.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date above will change, and we will notify you in the product before a material change takes effect. Continuing to use the service afterwards means you accept the updated terms; if you do not, you can cancel.
