Terms of Service

By accessing or using the Service you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced via email or a prominent notice on the Service at least 14 days before they take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. If you are between 16 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under the laws of your country or any country in which we operate.

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.

Accounts are personal and non-transferable. You may not share your account, sublicense it, or use it on behalf of multiple people.

You can close your account at any time by emailing us. Closing your account ends your right to access purchased content.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of the applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and view the courses you have purchased, for your personal and non-commercial education.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, "lifetime access" means access for as long as the Service remains operational and you remain in good standing under these Terms. We do not guarantee perpetual operation of the Service.

We may update, modify, or remove individual lessons or modules to improve the course. The overall scope and learning outcomes of a course will remain materially consistent with what was advertised at the time of your purchase.

You agree not to:

• Copy, download (other than as built-in to a feature we provide), rebroadcast, mirror, scrape, or otherwise redistribute course content, including videos, transcripts, code, and written materials.
• Share your account credentials or your access link with anyone else.
• Use the Service to develop or train a competing product, course, or AI/ML model.
• Attempt to bypass authentication, paywalls, rate limits, or any other security measure.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive the source of the Service except to the extent applicable law expressly permits.
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or to violate any third party's rights.
• Upload or transmit malware, harmful code, or content that infringes intellectual-property rights.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section. In serious cases we may pursue civil or criminal remedies.

Course prices are listed in U.S. Dollars unless stated otherwise. You authorize us and our payment processors (Stripe and/or PayPal) to charge the payment method you provide for the listed amount, plus any applicable taxes.

You are responsible for any taxes, duties, or charges imposed by your jurisdiction in connection with your purchase.

Course purchases are one-time payments unless explicitly described as a subscription. We do not currently sell subscriptions and will give you advance notice if that changes.

All course purchases are final. See Refunds below.

All sales are final. We do not offer refunds on course purchases, except where a refund is required by applicable law in your jurisdiction.

If you believe you are entitled to a refund under applicable law, contact us at the email address listed under Contact us with your purchase details.

All content on the Service — including but not limited to course videos, transcripts, source code, diagrams, written materials, design, logos, and trademarks — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws.

Except for the limited license granted under "License and course access" above, no rights are granted to you by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

Sample code and snippets we provide as part of a lesson may be used in your own projects, including commercial projects, provided you do not redistribute the lesson materials themselves.

If you submit feedback, suggestions, bug reports, or other input to us, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use that content to operate and improve the Service. You confirm you have the right to grant this license.

The Service integrates third-party services, including Clerk (authentication), Stripe and PayPal (payments), MongoDB Atlas (database), AWS S3 (storage), and Wistia (video). Your use of those services is also governed by their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party services.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Course content is educational and does not constitute professional advice (legal, financial, medical, or otherwise). Your results from following any course will depend on factors outside our control, including your skill, effort, and the state of underlying third-party APIs and tools.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any defects will be corrected.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will we (or our officers, employees, or affiliates) be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill — arising out of or related to your use of the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you in full.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party right.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or if your account presents a risk to us, other users, or the Service.

On termination, your right to access the Service ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Governing Law) will survive.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which we are established, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved exclusively in the courts located in that jurisdiction, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual-property rights.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any course-specific terms communicated at purchase, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.

You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
