Terms of Service

Terms of Service

The not-lawyerly version: use the site, it's free, we're not your financial advisor, don't sue us.

Last updated: January 2026

1. Who we are

CollegeBudgetHacks.com ("the site", "we", "us") is an independent publisher that provides free educational content and tools for college students.

2. This is not financial advice

Everything on this site is for general educational purposes only. We are not licensed financial advisors, tax professionals, attorneys, or loan officers. Before making major financial decisions — choosing a credit card, taking out a loan, filing taxes, refinancing — talk to a qualified professional who knows your specific situation.

3. Accuracy

We work hard to keep information accurate and up to date, but prices, discounts, eligibility rules, and offers change constantly. Always verify with the destination site before acting. If you find something out of date, let us know.

4. Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click through and make a qualifying purchase or sign up, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep the site free. It does not affect our editorial recommendations — we only recommend services we'd actually use.

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

5. Third-party links

We link to a lot of third-party websites (OpenStax, Amazon, Chegg, etc.). We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content, privacy practices, or offers.

6. Acceptable use

Don't scrape the site at abusive rates, don't try to break our tools, don't repost our content elsewhere without permission. If you want to cite or quote us, go for it — just link back.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we're not liable for any losses, damages, or regret arising from your use of this site or the information on it. Use your judgment.

8. Changes

We can update these terms anytime. Material changes will be flagged at the top of this page.
