Terms of use & earnings disclaimer
What you can expect from this site, what you cannot, and the earnings disclaimer that every honest site in this niche should carry.
Last updated: 16 August 2026
1. Acceptance
By using this website you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the site. These terms are between you and the operator of this site, reachable atinfo@dropshipschool.com.
2. What this site is
An independent information and comparison site about dropshipping and e-commerce. It publishes guides, comparisons and calculators. It does not sell products, hold your money, host your store or take a share of your revenue.
We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting on behalf of Shopify Inc., Automattic, BigCommerce, Wix.com, Shopline, Alibaba Group or any supplier mentioned. Product names and trademarks belong to their owners and are used for identification only.
3. Earnings disclaimer
Nothing on this site is a promise, projection or guarantee of income. Headlines referring to figures such as "$10k/mo" describe an outcome some stores achieve, not one you should expect.
The plain version:
- Most dropshipping stores never become profitable.
- Most products fail. Roughly one in five tests works, and that ratio assumes competent execution.
- Money spent on advertising is usually lost, especially in the first 30 days.
- Results depend on your product, market, budget, timing, skill and factors nobody controls, including platform policy changes and ad account restrictions.
Treat every number on this site as a benchmark to test against your own data, never as a forecast of your results. Do not spend money you cannot afford to lose.
4. No professional advice
Content here is general information, not legal, tax, accounting or financial advice. Tax treatment, VAT and import duty, consumer law and company registration requirements vary by country and by your situation. Consult a qualified professional in your jurisdiction before acting on anything you read here.
5. Accuracy of prices and figures
Pricing, fee and shipping figures were verified in August 2026 and are labelled as such. Vendors change plans, fees and shipping lines without notice, and often without a public announcement. Always confirm current pricing on the vendor's own page before you subscribe or buy.
Where we could not verify a figure — Shopline's regional pricing, for example — we say so instead of publishing a guess. If you find a number on this site that is wrong or out of date, email info@dropshipschool.com and we will correct it.
6. Commercial relationships
There are none. No link on this site pays us anything, nothing here is sponsored, and no vendor has reviewed or approved any of it. If that ever changes, every paid link will be marked and thedisclosure in our privacy policy will name each relationship before the first one goes live.
7. Third-party sites
We link to platforms, suppliers and tools we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, pricing, availability, data practices or the quality of what they deliver. Your dealings with them are entirely between you and them, including any dispute, refund or account termination.
8. Intellectual property
The text, structure, tables and calculators on this site are our copyright. You may quote short extracts with a visible link back to the page you took them from. You may not republish pages in bulk, scrape the site to train a commercial model without permission, or present our content as your own.
Answer engines and search crawlers are explicitly permitted to index and cite this site with attribution — that permission is set in robots.txt and it is deliberate.
9. Acceptable use
- Do not attempt to break, overload or gain unauthorised access to the site.
- Do not scrape at a rate that degrades service for other visitors.
- Do not use content from this site to build a competing site that misrepresents its origin.
10. Limitation of liability
The site is provided "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any loss of profit, revenue, data, advertising spend, inventory cost or business opportunity arising from your use of this site or from any decision you take based on it.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you are a consumer in the EU, your statutory rights are unaffected.
11. Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top of this page shows the current version, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Belgium, and the Belgian courts have exclusive jurisdiction, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection rules in your country of residence.
