Services
All information provided on this website is for informational purposes only. Information displayed through the Service related to any prospective college you may configure, such as Published Tuition, Average Net Price, Edmit Estimate, or Estimated Savings off Published Tuition, either reflects or is based on available data relevant to your prospective college and does not reflect a college's price for an actual financial aid award consistent with your preferences.

General
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this agreement, or any general legal principles to the contrary, any provision of this agreement that imposes or contemplates continuing obligations on a party will survive the expiration or termination of this agreement.
If any of these conditions are deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, the parties agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the unenforceable condition shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining condition. Headings are for reference purposes only and do not limit the scope or extent of such section.
These Terms of Service and the relationship between you and Edmit are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to its conflict/choice of law provisions. You and Edmit agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with respect to any legal proceedings that may arise in connection with this agreement. The failure of Edmit to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive its right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. Edmit does not guarantee it will take action against all breaches of this agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this agreement, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to this agreement. You agree that no agency relationship is created between you and Edmit as a result of these Terms of Service or your access to and/or use of the Service. This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Edmit and governs your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Edmit with respect to the Service.
