Terms of Service

Last updated June 29, 2026

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and StratAdmit (“StratAdmit,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of our websites, software, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Estimates, not guarantees.

StratAdmit is self-service software that produces statistical estimates about college admissions. We do not guarantee admission to any school, we cannot influence any admissions decision, and no outcome is promised. Our outputs are one input among many — use them alongside your own research, your student’s counselor, and your family’s judgment.

1. Who may use the Service

You must be at least 18 years old, or the parent or legal guardian of the student whose information you provide, to create an account and use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements and that all information you provide is accurate. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly allow children under 13 to create accounts. See our Privacy Policy for more on children’s privacy.

2. What the Service is — and is not

The Service uses models, simulations, and published data to generate estimated admission probabilities, portfolio simulations, and related analyses. These are predictions about an inherently uncertain process, built from imperfect and changing data.

  • The estimates are not promises, guarantees, or assurances of any admissions outcome.
  • We are not a college counselor, educational consultant, or admissions agent, and using the Service does not create any such relationship.
  • We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any college, university, or admissions office, and no part of the Service communicates with admissions offices.
  • Names of colleges and universities are used solely to identify institutions for informational purposes.

3. Accounts and security

You may sign in using a supported single sign-on (SSO) provider, such as Google. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for all activity that occurs under it. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. You agree to provide accurate account information and to keep it current.

4. Subscriptions, fees, and payments

Certain features require a paid subscription. Fees, billing cycles, and the features included in each plan are described at the point of purchase. Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor, Stripe; we do not store full payment card details. Unless otherwise required by law or expressly stated, fees are non-refundable. We may change our prices on a going-forward basis with notice as required by law.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.
  • Reverse engineer, scrape, copy, resell, or attempt to extract our models, data, or source code except as permitted by law.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service.
  • Upload information you do not have the right to provide, or that is false or misleading.

6. Intellectual property

The Service, including our software, models, methodology, text, and design, is owned by StratAdmit and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use in accordance with these Terms. You retain ownership of the profile information you submit; you grant us a license to use that information to provide and improve the Service as described in our Privacy Policy.

7. Assumption of risk

You understand and accept that admissions outcomes are uncertain and depend on many factors outside our knowledge or control. You assume all risk arising from decisions you make based on the Service, including which schools to apply to and how to allocate your time and money. You are solely responsible for your application decisions and outcomes.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service or any estimate will be accurate, reliable, uninterrupted, or error-free, or that any particular admissions outcome will result.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, StratAdmit and its officers, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, opportunities, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the total amount of fees you actually paid to StratAdmit during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless StratAdmit and its officers, employees, and suppliers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

11. Binding arbitration and class-action waiver

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights. Except for the small-claims carve-out below, you and StratAdmit agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court. Arbitration will be administered by a recognized arbitration provider under its applicable rules.

Class-action waiver. You and StratAdmit agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.

Small-claims carve-out. Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an individual claim in a small-claims court if the claim qualifies and remains in that court on an individual (non-class) basis.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution — will survive.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Governing law

These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the United States and the State in which StratAdmit is established, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except to the extent arbitration is governed by applicable federal arbitration law.
