The terms on which Education Spot is made available. By using this site you agree to them.
What this site is
Education Spot publishes general educational information about paying for school and about school itself. It is not advice, and using it does not create a professional relationship of any kind. See the disclaimer, which forms part of these terms.
What this site is not
We are not a lender, a loan servicer, a broker, a school, a financial aid office, a financial adviser, a law firm, a tax practice or a clinical provider. We do not process applications, award aid, or have access to your records.
Accuracy and change
We take considerable care with our figures and we publish the source and date for each one. Even so, rules change, sources are occasionally wrong, and errors happen. Content is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, and you should verify anything you intend to act on against the official source we link to.
Acceptable use
You may read, print and share our pages for your own use, and quote from them with attribution and a link. You may not:
- Republish substantial portions of the site as your own.
- Scrape or bulk-copy the site, including to train a model, without our written permission.
- Misrepresent what we have said, including by quoting a figure without the group it applies to.
- Interfere with the site’s operation or attempt to gain unauthorised access.
- Use our contact or sign-up forms to send unsolicited commercial messages.
Intellectual property
The written content, structure and design of this site belong to us. Figures themselves are facts and are not claimed; their arrangement, explanation and verification records are.
Third-party names and trademarks
We name institutions, agencies, programmes and companies in order to explain them. All trademarks and service marks belong to their owners. Unless stated on the page, we are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by anyone named on this site, including the United States Department of Education, Federal Student Aid, the Internal Revenue Service and any state agency.
External links
We link to external sites so you can check our work. We do not control them, are not responsible for them, and a link is not an endorsement.
Advertising and affiliate links
Some links earn us a commission and the site carries advertising, as set out in the affiliate disclosure. Any transaction you enter into with a third party is between you and them.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Education Spot and its contributors are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site.
