Terms of Service

The terms that govern your use of this site, our products, and Claim Compass.

Last updated: September 2026

Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of veteran-roadmap.com and app.veteran-roadmap.com (Claim Compass), operated by The Veteran Roadmap, a business operated by Andy Kurien based in Augusta, Georgia. By using this site, purchasing our products, or creating a Claim Compass account, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

Not Legal, Medical, or Financial Advice

This is the most important thing on this page. The Veteran Roadmap, including all guides, trackers, templates, blog content, and Claim Compass, is provided for general educational and organizational purposes only. Nothing on this site or within Claim Compass constitutes legal advice, medical advice, financial advice, or a substitute for representation by an accredited Veterans Service Officer (VSO), attorney, or claims agent.

Andy Kurien is a former VA Community Care Specialist — that role involved coordinating scheduling and referrals for veterans accessing community care, not claims adjudication, legal representation, or medical practice. Nothing in his background or in this site's content should be read as official VA guidance or a guarantee of any outcome for your specific claim.

We strongly encourage you to work with an accredited VSO (a free resource) or a qualified attorney for advice specific to your situation. Decisions about your VA claim, benefits, or related legal matters should not be based solely on information from this site.

Our Products

We sell digital guides, trackers, templates, and toolkits through Etsy and other platforms, and offer Claim Compass as a subscription web application. Specific terms for each:

Acceptable Use

When using this site or Claim Compass, you agree not to:

Intellectual Property

All content on this site — guides, templates, trackers, blog posts, and the Claim Compass application itself — is the property of The Veteran Roadmap, unless otherwise noted, and is protected by copyright. Purchasing a digital product grants you a personal-use license; it does not transfer ownership or grant you the right to resell, redistribute, or repost the content elsewhere.

Claim Compass Accounts

You're responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Claim Compass account and password, and for all activity under your account. Information you enter into Claim Compass (dates, notes, documents) is yours — we store it to provide the service back to you and don't use it for any other purpose. You can request deletion of your account and data at any time by contacting [email protected].

No Guarantee of Outcomes

Nothing on this site, in our products, or within Claim Compass guarantees any particular outcome for your VA claim, appeal, or benefits application. VA decisions depend on the specific facts of your case, evidence, and VA's own review process — factors entirely outside our control.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Veteran Roadmap and Andy Kurien are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site, our products, or Claim Compass, including but not limited to any claim outcome, financial loss, or decision made based on information provided here.

Third-Party Links & Services

This site links to and relies on third-party services (Etsy, Stripe, Amazon, Kit, Google Analytics, and others). We aren't responsible for the content, policies, or practices of those third-party services — your use of them is governed by their own terms.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict of law principles.
