Welcome to CollegeConsumerBudget.com. By accessing or using this site, you agree to the following terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.
Purpose of this site
CollegeConsumerBudget.com provides general educational content about budgeting, saving, and managing money as a college student. Content is intended for general informational purposes only.
Not financial, legal, or tax advice
Nothing on this site constitutes financial, legal, tax, or professional advice. Content reflects general information and should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional (such as your school’s financial aid office, a licensed financial advisor, or an attorney) who can evaluate your specific situation. Any decisions you make based on content from this site are your own responsibility.
Accuracy of content
We aim to keep content accurate and up to date, but financial rules, loan terms, tuition costs, and program details change over time and vary by institution and provider. We do not guarantee that all information is current or error-free. Where a claim is time-sensitive (such as interest rates, tuition figures, or program eligibility), always verify current details directly with the relevant official source (such as studentaid.gov, your school, or a specific lender).
Affiliate links and monetization
This site may contain affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click a link and make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. We may also display advertising. Recommendations are based on genuine usefulness, not solely on commission potential, but you should always evaluate any product or service independently before purchasing.
Intellectual property
Content on this site, including text and original graphics, is owned by CollegeConsumerBudget.com unless otherwise noted. You may share links to our content, but you may not republish, copy, or redistribute substantial portions of our content without permission.
Third-party links
This site links to external websites (government resources, lenders, tools, and others) for informational purposes. We don’t control and aren’t responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of external sites.
Limitation of liability
This site, its content, and its owner are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Questions about these Terms of Use can be sent to the email listed on our Contact page.
This Terms of Use page is a general template and does not constitute legal advice. Consider having it reviewed by a legal professional before publishing, particularly as your site grows to include more monetization methods.
