Clear Cost Education

Terms of Service

Last updated: July 8, 2026

1. Agreement

The Clear Cost Education (the “Service”) is a product of Custer Marketing Solutions (“Custer Marketing,” “we,” “us,” “our”), our parent company. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Service. By creating an account, embedding the calculator, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms on behalf of yourself and, where applicable, the school or organization you represent.

2. The Service

The Service is a subscription-based software tool that helps private schools estimate family tuition costs after scholarships, discounts, and state voucher aid, and captures leads submitted by families. Estimates are informational only and are not a promise of financial aid or admission. Actual awards are determined by each school and each state voucher program.

3. Accounts

You must provide accurate information when creating an account and keep your credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for the actions of any team members you invite. You must be at least 18 years old and authorized to bind your organization.

4. Subscriptions and Billing

Paid plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis through our payment processor, Stripe. Team-seat charges are prorated when you add or remove seats. Prices are shown on our pricing page and may change with at least 30 days’ notice for existing subscribers. You authorize us and Stripe to charge your payment method for all fees due.

5. Cancellation

You may cancel at any time from your account settings or through the Stripe customer portal. Cancellation stops future renewals; you retain access through the end of the current billing period. Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service to solicit families outside your legitimate admissions process;
  • Upload false, misleading, or unlawful content;
  • Reverse engineer, resell, or sublicense the Service;
  • Interfere with the Service’s security or integrity, or use it to send spam;
  • Use the Service in violation of applicable law, including consumer protection and data-protection law.

7. Customer Data

You retain ownership of the data you and families submit through the Service (“Customer Data”). You grant us a limited license to host, process, and display Customer Data solely to provide and improve the Service. You are responsible for having a lawful basis to collect family information and for providing families with any required notices.

8. Voucher Program Data

The Service references publicly available information about state voucher and scholarship programs. Program rules change frequently and vary by household. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or current applicability of any voucher or scholarship information displayed. Families should confirm eligibility directly with the relevant program administrator.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that estimates will match actual awards.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to the Service will not exceed the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or lost profits, revenue, or data.

11. Indemnification

You will defend and indemnify us against claims arising from your Customer Data, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access for material breach of these Terms, non-payment, or as required by law. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends and we may delete Customer Data after a reasonable retention period.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email or in-app notice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Exclusive venue for any dispute is the state or federal courts located in Franklin County, Ohio.
