Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using KidToCollege (“the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time; continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

2. Nature of the service

KidToCollege provides AI-generated college research reports, scholarship information, and coaching content for informational and guidance purposes only. The Service is not a substitute for professional college admissions counseling. Users should use the information provided as one input among many when making educational decisions.

3. No guarantees

KidToCollege makes no guarantees of admission to any college or university, scholarship awards, financial aid eligibility, or any specific educational outcome. Scholarship amounts, deadlines, and eligibility criteria are subject to change at any time — always verify directly with the institution or scholarship body before relying on any information provided by the Service.

4. Data accuracy

All college data presented on KidToCollege is sourced from public records, including the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), Common Data Sets, College Board, and FAFSA.gov. While we believe this data to be accurate at the time of publication, it is not warranted for accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. Institutional data changes frequently, and the Service may not reflect the most recent updates from every institution.

AI-generated content, including research reports, scholarship recommendations, essay feedback, and coaching guidance, is produced by artificial intelligence and may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. Users should independently verify all critical information.

5. User accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate information when creating an account and to notify us promptly of any unauthorised access.

Parent and student accounts may be linked by invitation. Both parties consent to sharing saved colleges, search results, checklist items, and related data within the linked account pair.

6. Intellectual property and content use

All AI-generated report content, coaching materials, and site content produced by KidToCollege is provided for the user's personal, non-commercial use only. You may not redistribute, resell, republish, or commercially exploit any content generated by the Service without our prior written consent.

The KidToCollege name, logo, design, and original written content are the property of KidToCollege and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

7. Prohibited use

You agree not to:

• Scrape, crawl, or use automated tools to extract content from the Service
• Reproduce, republish, or redistribute site content for commercial purposes
• Use the Service to generate content that is fraudulent, misleading, or intended to deceive admissions offices
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to other users' accounts or data
• Use the Service in any way that violates applicable law

8. Essay coaching disclaimer

The AI essay coaching feature is designed to help students improve their own writing. It provides feedback, structural suggestions, and clarity improvements. It does not write essays on behalf of users. Users are solely responsible for the content of their college application essays and for ensuring their submissions comply with each institution's academic integrity policies.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, KidToCollege and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to missed deadlines, incorrect scholarship information, denied applications, or financial losses.

10. Independence

KidToCollege is 100% independent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or paid by any college, university, scholarship body, or educational organisation. The Service does not receive compensation for recommending or featuring any institution.

11. Governing law

These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these terms shall be resolved in the courts of the State of Texas.

12. Partner links & compensation

KidToCollege may include links to third-party services. In some cases we may receive compensation when you click a link or make a purchase. This does not affect the guidance or recommendations we provide. All college data and AI-generated advice is editorially independent. Partner relationships are always disclosed.
