Terms of Service

Effective 2026-07-15. These terms govern your use of www.exploretopcolleges.com, operated by Ikan Media Inc.. By using the site you agree to them.

Information only — not advice

Everything here is general information compiled from public federal datasets and other sources. It is not financial, career, legal, admissions, or professional advice, and it is not a recommendation to enroll anywhere. Verify anything important directly with the school and the relevant official source before you act. Your decisions are your own.

No guarantees

Nothing on this site guarantees financial aid, admission, employment, wages, or any outcome. Aid is available only to those who qualify under the relevant program's rules. Federal data is provided to us "as is"; some figures are suppressed or unreported, and we display those honestly rather than filling the gap.

Accuracy

We work to reflect official data faithfully and correct reported errors promptly, but we do not warrant that the site is complete, current, or error-free. If you spot an error, tell us via the contact page.

Acceptable use

Don't use the site unlawfully, don't attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to it, and don't scrape or reproduce it at scale except as expressly permitted (our downloadable ROI dataset is offered under CC-BY 4.0 with attribution).

Intellectual property

The underlying government data is public. The site's compilation, comparisons, rankings, written content, and design are ours or our licensors'. The ROI dataset is licensed CC-BY 4.0; other content may not be copied wholesale without permission.

Third parties

We link to and may share your submitted information with schools, programs, and partners (see the Privacy Policy). We are not responsible for their content, offers, or practices.

Disclaimer & limitation of liability

The site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ikan Media Inc. is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its information; our total liability will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

Indemnification, governing law, changes

You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your misuse of the site. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. We may update these terms; continued use after changes means you accept them.
