Welcome to AralAbroad (aralabroad.com). These Terms govern your access to and use of the Site.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using the Site you agree to these Terms.

2. What AralAbroad Is (and Isn’t)

An independent content and information publisher — guides, reviews, comparisons for Filipinos researching study-abroad options. We are NOT a study-abroad agency, migration consultancy, recruitment agency, or visa facilitator; NOT a law firm, immigration consultant, financial advisor, or licensed professional adviser; NOT an official government body or affiliated with any embassy, consulate, or government agency; and we do NOT guarantee any outcome.

We may earn commissions or referral fees from partner clicks (see our Affiliate Disclosure) — this doesn’t change your price and doesn’t make AralAbroad a party to your agreement with that partner. Nothing on this Site constitutes professional immigration, legal, financial, or educational advice — always verify with the official source before acting.

3. Content Accuracy

We research, write, fact-check, and date content at publication, citing sources. Rules, fees, and exchange rates change frequently; content may age. We don’t independently verify every third-party claim. You’re responsible for independently verifying anything visa-, legal-, or financial-related with the official source before relying on it.

4. Affiliate and Referral Relationships

We participate in affiliate/referral programs (agencies, test-prep, forex, insurance, loan partners) — see our Affiliate Disclosure page for full detail. This doesn’t cost you extra, and it doesn’t influence our editorial judgment.

5. Intellectual Property

Site content is owned by AralAbroad or used under license. You may read, share, and link to it for personal non-commercial use, and quote short excerpts with attribution and a link back. You may not republish or scrape substantial portions, use content commercially, create derivative works, or use our branding to suggest endorsement, without permission.

6. User Conduct

Don’t submit false, misleading, defamatory, or unlawful content; attempt unauthorized access; scrape without permission; upload malware or spam; or impersonate others.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted under Philippine law: AralAbroad and its contributors aren’t liable for damages arising from use of the Site or reliance on its content, or from your dealings with third-party partners, agencies, or schools. The Site is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind. We are not responsible for third parties’ acts, pricing, or service quality after you click through to their site.

8. Third-Party Links

Links to third-party sites (partners, sources, government sites) are provided for convenience and reference; we don’t control or take responsibility for their content or practices, and linking doesn’t imply endorsement except where we state a genuine editorial recommendation.

9. Changes to These Terms

Updated Terms will be posted here with a revised date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.

10. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. Philippine courts have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these Terms or use of the Site.
