Terms of Service

Effective date: June 1, 2025 Β· Last updated: June 1, 2025

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of CivicsPrep (civicsprep.com), operated by CivicsPrep ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using CivicsPrep, you agree to these Terms.

1. Educational Purpose β€” Not Legal or Immigration Advice

CivicsPrep is an educational tool designed to help users study for the U.S. citizenship civics test. All content on this site is provided for informational and educational purposes only.

CivicsPrep is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or in any way connected to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, or any other government agency.

Nothing on CivicsPrep constitutes legal advice, immigration advice, or a guarantee of any outcome on your naturalization test or application. Always consult with a licensed immigration attorney for advice specific to your situation.

2. Accuracy of Content

Civics questions on CivicsPrep are sourced from official USCIS public domain materials. We make reasonable efforts to keep content current and accurate; however, USCIS may update official questions and answers at any time. We recommend verifying all answers against the official USCIS study materials.

Use of CivicsPrep does not guarantee passing the naturalization civics interview.

3. User Accounts

You may use CivicsPrep's free tools without creating an account. To access progress tracking and premium features, you must create an account with a valid email address.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to your account. We are not liable for losses resulting from unauthorized account access.

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.

4. Premium Purchase β€” Payment and Refund Policy

CivicsPrep offers a one-time premium purchase ("Premium") priced at $14.99. Premium unlocks audio study mode, removes advertisements, and grants access to any downloadable study materials.

Payment: All payments are processed by Stripe. By completing a purchase, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service. Your payment information is handled directly by Stripe and is never stored on CivicsPrep's servers.

No refunds: All sales are final. Because digital content is delivered immediately upon purchase and is non-returnable, we do not offer refunds. If you experience a technical issue preventing access to premium features after purchase, contact us at hello@civicsprep.com and we will resolve it promptly.

Lifetime access: Premium is a one-time purchase tied to your account. As long as your account exists, you retain premium access.

5. Acceptable Use

  • Scrape, copy, or reproduce CivicsPrep content for commercial purposes
  • Circumvent any access controls or attempt to access premium features without payment
