Last updated October 20, 2026

These terms govern your use of The Academic Ninja. By using the site, you agree to them.

Information, not advice

Everything on this site is general educational information. It is not individualized financial, legal, tax, or admissions advice, and using the site does not create an advisory or professional relationship. Education costs, aid, program availability, and outcomes depend on your circumstances and change over time. Confirm anything important with the school, the relevant government agency, or a qualified professional before you act.

No guaranteed outcomes

We do not promise admission, financial aid, eligibility, employment, or any particular result. Our tools produce estimates based on the inputs you provide and the assumptions we disclose; they are planning aids, not determinations.

Acceptable use

Use the site for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes. Don’t attempt to disrupt the site, misuse its systems, scrape it in ways that burden it, or reproduce its content beyond fair use without permission.

Third-party links and offers

The site links to third-party websites and may show labelled sponsored or affiliate offers. We don’t control those sites or offers and aren’t responsible for their content, products, or practices. Review their own terms and privacy policies. See our affiliate disclosure.

Intellectual property

The site’s original content, design, and tools are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by law. Official data and government sources we cite remain the property of their respective owners.

Disclaimers and liability

The site is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, to the extent permitted by law. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for decisions made or actions taken based on the information or tools here.
