Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By accessing or using intelligence.prepgurus.com (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

2. Who we are

The Service is published by Test Prep Gurus, LLC ("we", "us"). We are an independent California consulting firm. We are not affiliated with the University of California, the California Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Education, the IRS, or any school or district we report on.

3. Permitted use

You may:

• Browse the site for personal, educational, or professional research purposes.
• Share specific page URLs (e.g., a school profile or ranking) with attribution to "Test Prep Gurus Intelligence" linked back to intelligence.prepgurus.com.
• Cite individual data points in articles, posts, or presentations, with the same attribution.

You may not:

• Scrape, crawl, or download the site in bulk for the purpose of reproducing it on another platform.
• Use our methodology, peer-similarity logic, or composite formulas to power a competing product without a license.
• Use our content in a way that defames, disparages, or otherwise harms any school, student, employee, or third party.

4. Data accuracy + no advice

All data on the Service is provided "as is" and for informational purposes only. We work hard to verify our sources, but we make no guarantees about accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. Nothing on this site should be construed as legal, financial, educational, or admissions advice.

Specifically:

• School-level admit rates and outcomes are not predictors of any individual student's UC admissions chances. UC admissions decisions use comprehensive review that weighs essays, course rigor, demographics, context-of-opportunity, and other factors beyond GPA.
• Enrollment trends and revenue-at-risk projections are statistical extrapolations from historical data — not forecasts you should rely on for budgeting decisions without independent analysis.
• Private-school financials reflect publicly filed IRS Form 990 data, which can lag by 1–3 years and may be subject to revision.

5. Lead submissions + consulting

If you submit your email or request an audit, you understand that:

• We may contact you about our consulting services.
• An "Enrollment Trend Audit" is a paid consulting engagement; submitting the audit form is a request, not a commitment by either party.
• Any consulting engagement will be governed by a separate written agreement.

6. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Test Prep Gurus, LLC, its owners, employees, and contractors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service or your reliance on any data presented here.

7. Intellectual property

The arrangement, design, copy, and original analytic methods on this Service are © Test Prep Gurus, LLC. The underlying data (UCOP, CDE, IPEDS, IRS, etc.) is public-domain or used under each source's terms.

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance.
