Last updated: June 4, 2026
These Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website located at learningdifferences.info and all related pages, tools, accounts, subscriptions, and services (collectively, the “Service”), which are owned and operated by LearningDifferences.Info® LLC (“LearningDifferences.Info®,” “Learning Differences,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Please read these Terms carefully. They include an arbitration agreement and class-action waiver that affect your legal rights.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Service, creating an account, or purchasing a subscription, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, and School Data Disclaimer, each of which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your state of residence, and able to form a legally binding contract to create an account or purchase a subscription. The Service is intended for parents, guardians, educators, and other adults.
2. Educational Information Disclaimer
Learning Differences aggregates and presents school performance data, special-education information, ratings, reviews, statistics, and related educational resources. All information on the Service is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute educational, legal, medical, financial, or other professional advice.
While we make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate and current information, we do not warrant or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability, or suitability of any school data, score, rating, statistic, review, or other content. School data is drawn from public records, government agencies, school districts, user submissions, and other third-party sources, and may change or become outdated. You should independently verify any information directly with the relevant school, district, or government agency before making any educational or other decision. See our School Data Disclaimer for additional detail.
3. User Accounts
Some features require you to create an account. When you create an account, you agree to:
- provide accurate, current, and complete information;
- keep your password confidential and maintain the security of your account;
- be responsible for all activity that occurs under your account;
- not share, transfer, or allow others to use your account or subscription access; and
- notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, that we reasonably believe are being misused, or as otherwise permitted by law. You may close your account at any time by contacting us at [email protected].
4. User Reviews, Ratings, and Other Content
The Service allows registered users to submit school reviews, ratings, and other content (“User Content”). You are solely responsible for your User Content. By submitting User Content, you represent and agree that:
- your review is truthful and reflects your genuine experience or opinion;
- it does not contain defamatory, false, misleading, harassing, threatening, obscene, or unlawful content;
- it does not disclose personally identifiable information about students, minors, or other individuals;
- it does not infringe any copyright, trademark, privacy, or other right of any third party; and
- it does not contain spam, advertising, or solicitation.
You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting it, you grant Learning Differences a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and sublicensable license to use, host, store, reproduce, display, publish, adapt, and distribute your User Content in connection with operating, promoting, and improving the Service.
We do not endorse any User Content and are not responsible for it. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor, moderate, edit, refuse, or remove any User Content, and to suspend or terminate accounts, at our sole discretion and without notice.
5. Free Accounts and Premium Membership
We offer a free account tier and paid Premium Membership. Free accounts include features such as searching and browsing schools, saving and following schools, and submitting reviews. Premium Membership provides access to enhanced features, which may include extended school-comparison tools, multi-year data access, advanced filtering and reporting, and other premium features as released.
Features included in any tier may be added, changed, or removed over time. We do not guarantee the continued availability of any particular feature.
6. Subscriptions, Billing, and Automatic Renewal
Premium Membership is offered on a subscription basis as an annual plan at $100 per year. Prices are in U.S. dollars and are exclusive of any applicable taxes, which may be added at checkout.
- Automatic renewal. Your subscription automatically renews once per year at the end of each annual billing period until cancelled. By subscribing, you authorize us and our payment processor to charge your payment method on a recurring annual basis for the then-current subscription fee plus applicable taxes.
- Payment processing. Payments are processed securely by Stripe, Inc. We do not collect or store your full payment-card details. Your use of Stripe is also subject to Stripe’s terms and privacy policy.
- Price changes. We may change subscription prices from time to time. We will provide advance notice of any price change, and the new price will apply to your next renewal. Continuing your subscription after a price change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new price.
- Failed payments. If a payment fails, we may retry the charge and may suspend or terminate your Premium access until payment is received.
7. Cancellation and Refunds
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. Cancellation stops future renewals; it does not retroactively refund the current billing period. Your Premium access will remain active through the end of the period you have already paid for, after which it will not renew.
Subscription fees are generally non-refundable, and we do not provide prorated refunds for partial periods, except as required by law or as described in our Refund Policy. Please review the Refund Policy for the limited circumstances in which refunds may be granted.
8. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
- scrape, crawl, harvest, mass-download, resell, republish, or redistribute any data or content from the Service without our prior written permission;
- access the Service through automated means, such as bots, crawlers, or scrapers, except for indexing by generally recognized search engines (e.g., Google, Bing) or as otherwise expressly authorized by us in writing;
- circumvent, disable, or interfere with security, access controls, or rate limits, including sharing subscription access;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the Service except where such restriction is prohibited by law;
- introduce malware or otherwise disrupt or impair the integrity or performance of the Service; or
- misrepresent your identity or affiliation.
9. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its website content, design, layout, branding, logos, trademarks (including LearningDifferences.Info®), software, scorecards, compilations, and the selection, arrangement, and presentation of data, is owned by or licensed to Learning Differences and is protected by intellectual-property and other laws. Except for User Content and underlying public-record facts, all rights are reserved.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may not scrape, resell, republish, mass-download, or create derivative products from the Service or its data without our prior written permission.
10. Third-Party Links and Services
The Service may contain links to, or integrate with, third-party websites and services (such as Stripe for payments and government data sources). We do not control and are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third party. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and them.
11. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY DATA OR CONTENT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
12. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LEARNING DIFFERENCES AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO:
- any educational, enrollment, placement, or other decision you make based on the Service;
- any school placement, admission, or educational outcome;
- any inaccuracy, error, or omission in school data, ratings, statistics, or reviews;
- any interruption, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service; or
- any act or omission of a third-party service or data source.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Learning Differences and its owners, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.
14. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class-Action Waiver
Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights.
Governing law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
Binding arbitration. Except for the exceptions below, you and Learning Differences agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in Travis County, Texas, or may be conducted by telephone, video, or written submissions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
Class-action and jury-trial waiver. You and Learning Differences agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. You and Learning Differences waive any right to a jury trial. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief to protect its intellectual-property rights, without first arbitrating.
30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days after first accepting these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to [email protected] with your name and the email associated with your account. If you opt out, the governing-law and venue provisions still apply.
15. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, including violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution — will survive.
16. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, provide additional notice where appropriate. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.
17. Miscellaneous
These Terms, together with the policies incorporated by reference, are the entire agreement between you and Learning Differences regarding the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them freely.
