Terms & Conditions of Use: Website User Agreement

Last Updated: October 2026

Welcome to USA Student Guide. By accessing or using our website, calculators, and guides, you agree to comply with and be bound by the following Terms and Conditions.

1. Informational & Educational Purpose Only

All interactive calculators, deadline estimators, calendar alert generators, and compliance guides on USA Student Guide are provided strictly for general informational, educational, and personal planning purposes. We are not an immigration law firm, a Designated School Official (DSO), or an agency of the United States Government (such as USCIS, ICE, or DHS).

2. No Immigration or Legal Advice

Calculations, projected dates, and DSO communication templates generated by our tools do not constitute legal advice or formal immigration determinations. Official SEVIS unemployment day balances are maintained exclusively in the SEVIS database. Students must verify all employment dates, gap calculations, and reporting requirements with their university's Designated School Official (DSO) or an authorized immigration attorney.

3. Accuracy of Tools & Material

While we make every effort to maintain accurate calendar calculations and adhere strictly to published SEVP 8 CFR § 214.2 directives, immigration policies and administrative interpretations change frequently. We do not warrant the completeness, absolute accuracy, or timeliness of any content or tool outputs.

4. Limitation of Liability

USA Student Guide, its operators, contributors, and authors shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use the tools or guides on this website. This includes, without limitation, any loss of nonimmigrant status, SEVIS record termination, accrual of unlawful presence, or travel interruptions resulting from reliance on our estimates.

5. Intellectual Property & Personal Use

All text, calculator algorithms, layout designs, and branding on USA Student Guide are protected by copyright and intellectual property laws. You may use our calculators and download calendar alerts (.ics) or email summaries for personal, non-commercial planning. You may not scrape, redistribute, or replicate our tools for commercial purposes without prior written authorization.

6. Inquiries & Legal Notices

If you have questions about these Terms of Service or need to serve legal notices, please write to us at [email protected] or mail us at 5424 19th Street Suite 401, Lubbock, TX 79407, United States.
