Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern your use of the Atlas & Ivy website at globallinkadvisors.org ("the Site") and the services offered by Atlas & Ivy ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these terms.

1. Use of the Website

You may use this website for lawful purposes only. You agree not to:

• Use the Site in any way that violates applicable local, national, or international law or regulation
• Transmit any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or promotional material
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site or its related systems
• Use the Site in any manner that could disable, overburden, or impair its operation
• Submit false or misleading information through any form on this Site

2. School Match Quiz and Matching Tool

The School Match Quiz is an informational tool designed to help families explore potential school options based on their stated preferences and budget. Results are generated by an automated scoring algorithm.

Quiz results are informational only and do not constitute:

• A guarantee of admission to any school
• A formal recommendation or endorsement of any specific school
• A binding offer of placement services by Atlas & Ivy
• Professional educational or legal advice

Match scores are estimates based on the information you provide. Actual compatibility with a school depends on many factors not captured by the quiz, including academic records, individual school admissions criteria, availability, and timing. Atlas & Ivy advisors review quiz results and provide personalized guidance as part of the placement process.

3. Budget Calculator

The Budget Calculator on this Site provides estimated costs for international student programs based on published pricing tiers, typical housing rates, and regional cost adjustments. All figures are estimates.

Actual costs may vary based on specific school pricing, availability, exchange rates, individual housing arrangements, and other factors. Calculator outputs are provided for planning purposes only and do not constitute a price quote, contract, or guarantee of any specific cost.

Atlas & Ivy will provide accurate, specific pricing as part of the formal placement process once a school and program are identified.

4. Accuracy of Information You Submit

When you submit information through the quiz, contact forms, or any other means on this Site, you are responsible for providing accurate, truthful, and complete information. Atlas & Ivy relies on the information you provide to make school recommendations and connect you with appropriate resources. Submitting false or misleading information may result in inappropriate recommendations or delays in the placement process.

5. Placement Services

The use of this website does not create a client-advisor relationship with Atlas & Ivy. A formal placement engagement begins only when both parties have agreed to Atlas & Ivy's service terms in a separate placement agreement. Information submitted through this Site initiates an inquiry — it does not obligate Atlas & Ivy to provide services or guarantee placement in any school.

6. Intellectual Property

All content on this Site — including text, graphics, logos, images, data, software, and the arrangement of these elements — is the property of Atlas & Ivy or its content suppliers and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
