Terms
Terms of use
The short version: our results describe past years from public data, the council makes every offer, and if a Shortlist isn’t for you, you can have your money back within 14 days.

Who we are
Offer Odds is run by Offer Odds (Lime Creations) (“we”, “us”). Contact us at hello@offerodds.limecreations.co.uk. By using this website you agree to these terms.
Our results are estimates, not promises
- Our results show what would have happened to an application from your address in past years, based on figures the councils published. They are estimates. They are not a promise or guarantee that your child will, or won’t, be offered a place.
- Councils and schools make every offer under their own published admission arrangements. Cut-offs change every year, and admission rules can change too.
- Always read the council’s admissions guidance and each school’s admission arrangements before you apply. Our summaries never replace them.
Where our figures come from
Our figures come from public council and school publications, mostly licensed under the Open Government Licence. Every figure links to its source. We check figures carefully, but sources and our copies of them can contain mistakes. If you spot one, tell us and we’ll correct it.
You’re welcome to quote and link to our school pages. Please credit Offer Odds and link to the page you quote.
Buying a Shortlist
- The price is shown before you pay, including VAT if it applies. Payment is taken by Stripe.
- Your results are digital content you can open straight away. At checkout you ask us to give you access immediately, and you acknowledge that once they are supplied you lose your legal right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations. Your receipt email confirms this.
- Refunds: we still offer our own refund: if you’re not happy, email us within 14 days of the date you paid and we’ll refund you in full, with no questions asked. Your results stay viewable after a refund.
- Your results are reached through a private link we email to you. Anyone with the link can see them, so keep it to yourself.
- Optional add-ons, such as Offer Day help, are described at checkout and follow these same terms.
Using the website
- Don’t misuse the service: no attempts to break its security, overload it, or send automated requests to its address search or checks.
- Only check addresses you have a genuine reason to check, such as your own home or one you’re thinking of moving to.
Our responsibility to you
We provide Offer Odds with reasonable care and skill. We aren’t responsible for decisions made by councils or schools, or for losses that weren’t foreseeable. If we are responsible for a loss, our liability is limited to the amount you paid us. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law, or your rights as a consumer.
Your data
Our privacy notice explains what we collect, why, and for how long.
Changes and law
We may update these terms; the date at the top shows when they last changed. The terms that applied when you bought something keep applying to that purchase. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and you can bring claims in the courts of the part of the UK where you live.
