4. User Content

You retain ownership of any content, data, or information you submit, upload, or store through the Service ("User Content"). By using TigerMe, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, display, and use your User Content solely for the purpose of operating, maintaining, and improving the Service.

You are responsible for ensuring that your User Content is accurate and lawful, and that it does not infringe or violate the rights of any third party.

5. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and store personal information. By using TigerMe, you consent to the practices described in the Privacy Policy.

6. Educational Guidance Disclaimer

TigerMe provides personalized recommendations and admissions likelihood scores based on our proprietary algorithm. These recommendations and scores:

• Are for informational and educational purposes only;
• Do not constitute legal, financial, or professional advice; and
• Do not guarantee admission to any school, program, or institution.

College admissions decisions are made solely by the institutions themselves. You acknowledge that many factors beyond TigerMe's control affect admissions outcomes.

7. Intellectual Property

All content and materials made available through the Service, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, images, software, and trademarks (collectively, "TigerMe Content"), are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

If we offer paid subscriptions or premium features, you agree to pay all applicable fees associated with your selected plan. Fees, features, and billing terms will be described at the time of purchase.

Unless otherwise stated, all payments are non-refundable, except where required by law. We may change our pricing or plans from time to time with reasonable advance notice.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service may link to or integrate with third-party websites, applications, or services. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third-party services. Your use of third-party services is subject to their terms and policies, not ours.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms or engaged in suspicious or unlawful activity.

You may stop using the Service and request deletion of your account at any time, subject to our data retention and legal obligations.
