Terms of Use

By accessing or using TrueCostEdu and College Costs, you agree to these Terms of Use.

The service provides educational cost-comparison tools only. It does not provide financial, legal, tax, admissions, or counseling advice.

You are responsible for verifying all information, award-letter interpretation, and final decisions with schools and qualified professionals.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the service is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis, with no warranties of any kind.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, TrueCostEdu, its operators, employees, and affiliates will have zero liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, or any losses arising from use of the website, platform outputs, data extraction, comparisons, recommendations, or shared reports.

If any liability cannot legally be excluded, it is limited to the minimum amount required by law.

We may update these terms at any time by posting updated terms on this page. Continued use of the service after updates means acceptance of those updated terms.
