Terms & Conditions

EssayRaccoon is an educational resource platform focused on UPSC essay preparation. We provide curated blog articles, educational videos, frameworks for systematic thinking, and community-contributed insights.

This is not a coaching institute. This is not a guaranteed path to selection. This is not a replacement for official UPSC preparation materials.

You are responsible for your own preparation, applying concepts to your specific context, verifying information from multiple sources, and managing your study schedule.

We make no guarantees about selection in UPSC examinations, improvement in essay scores, rank or marks achievement, or time required to see improvement. Individual results vary based on many factors including prior knowledge, practice consistency, writing ability, and exam-day performance.

While we strive for accuracy, we do not guarantee that all content is error-free, information is complete or current, or advice will work for every individual. You should cross-verify important information with official UPSC sources.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the platform, error-free technical operation, or availability of specific content at all times. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features without advance notice.

All original content on this platform—including blog articles, video scripts, framework methodologies, and curated collections—is the intellectual property of EssayRaccoon or its contributors.

By contributing feedback or testimonials, you grant us the right to use your feedback to improve the platform, display anonymized testimonials, and reference insights in our educational content. We will not share your personal information without consent.

Published blog articles, educational videos, basic framework methodologies, and community testimonials are freely accessible. No account creation is required for free content.

If we introduce premium subscriptions in the future, terms will include explicit pricing and billing cycles, clear description of premium features, cancellation and refund policies, and payment processing terms. Premium terms will be communicated before any charges are applied.

If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining password confidentiality, all activity under your account, and notifying us of unauthorized access. We are not liable for losses from unauthorized account use if you failed to maintain security.

You agree not to share account credentials, use the platform for unlawful purposes, attempt to breach security measures, harass other users, or upload malicious content. Violation may result in account suspension or termination.

Our content is intended for personal study and preparation, understanding essay writing concepts, improving critical thinking skills, and learning systematic methodologies.

You may not use our content for creating commercial courses or books, training AI models, republishing on blogs or social media (full articles), selling as your own preparation material, or impersonating EssayRaccoon.

If you reference our frameworks or concepts in public work, provide clear attribution to EssayRaccoon, link back to the original source when possible, and do not imply endorsement or affiliation.

If we enable comments or forums in the future, you retain ownership of your contributions, but we may moderate or remove inappropriate content. You grant us a license to display your contributions and are responsible for the accuracy of your posts.

Content on this platform is educational in nature. It is not legal advice, professional career counseling, official UPSC guidance, or psychological support. Consult appropriate professionals for specialized advice.
