Terms of Sale

Last updated: October 22, 2026. These terms apply to College Cost Comparison and supplement BAXTER's general Terms and Conditions. If they conflict, these terms control for College Cost Comparison.

1. Who we are. College Cost Comparison is sold by Baxter Admissions Consulting, LLC ("BAXTER"), 2701 Sunset Ridge Drive, Suite 602, Rockwall, Texas 75032, contact@baxterac.com. The software is developed and operated for BAXTER by Tall Pine Labs.
2. What you're buying. A one-time purchase of $39 (plus any applicable tax) includes one comparison of 2 to 5 colleges and one report based on your final college list, viewable online during your access period and as a PDF to download. There is no subscription and no recurring charge. Another comparison requires a new purchase.
3. One comparison, then locked. Before you generate your report, you can change your college list. When you choose "Generate report," your list and report are locked. You can't change them, start over or create a different report without a new purchase.
4. Who may purchase. You must be at least 18 (or the age of majority where you live). A parent or guardian may purchase for a student and let the student complete the comparison.
5. 24-hour access, on one browser. There are no accounts or passwords. After payment, your session opens on the browser you used to return from checkout. Your access lasts 24 hours, starting when your payment is confirmed. Within those 24 hours you must choose your colleges, generate your report and download the PDF. Generating the report does not extend the 24 hours. The time your access ends is shown on every step. Clearing your browser's cookies or using a private window may end your session early.
6. Download your PDF. Downloading the PDF does not end your session. Your session ends when you choose "Finish and Exit", when the 24-hour access period ends, or if the purchase is refunded or disputed. When it ends, your college list, online report and PDF are permanently deleted from our active systems, and we can't restore or resend them. Limited backup copies kept by our hosting provider may remain temporarily under its retention policies. The PDF you downloaded is your copy.
7. What the report is and isn't. The report shows figures that each college reported to the U.S. Department of Education (IPEDS), with the reporting year for each. Published costs are for one academic year; grant and net price figures are historical averages for an earlier year. The report is not a personalized cost estimate, a financial-aid offer or a prediction of any scholarship, and does not guarantee admission or any price. Colleges' actual prices and aid may differ.
8. Availability. The service is provided "as available." We may update it, but a generated report is never changed during the access period.
9. Refunds. See the Refund Policy. The end of the access period does not by itself affect any refund rights you have under that policy or applicable law.
10. Acceptable use. Don't attempt to bypass payment, access others' reports, or copy, resell or scrape the service or its content.
11. Intellectual property. The service, design and report format belong to BAXTER and its licensors, including Tall Pine Labs. You may use your report for personal, non-commercial purposes. Federal source data remains subject to its own terms.
12. Disclaimers and limitation of liability. The service is provided "as is" and "as available," to the extent permitted by law, without warranties of any educational, admissions, employment or financial outcome. To the extent permitted by law, BAXTER and its owners, employees, contractors and representatives, and Tall Pine Labs, will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages.
13. Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
14. Changes and contact. We may update these terms for future purchases. Questions: contact@baxterac.com.
