Terms of Service

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Course Engine website, courses, or any related services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not use our services. These terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Course Engine.

Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use our services. By using our services, you represent and warrant that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract, and that you are not prohibited from using our services under any applicable law.

Accounts

To access most features, you must create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information and to keep it updated. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or contain inaccurate information.

Courses and Content

When you enroll in a course, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access the course materials for personal, non-commercial educational purposes only. You may not copy, distribute, share, publicly display, modify, or create derivative works from the course content. Course access duration is specified on the product page and may be limited or unlimited depending on the course.

Payments and Billing

All prices are displayed in the stated currency and include or exclude taxes as indicated at checkout. Payments are processed by third-party payment processors. You authorize us and our payment processors to charge the payment method you provide for all purchases you make. For subscriptions, you authorize recurring charges until you cancel. You are responsible for keeping your payment information current.

Free courses

The Academy's courses are free. There is nothing to buy, so nothing to refund. If paid offerings are ever added, their terms will be shown before purchase.

User Conduct

You agree not to: use our services for any unlawful purpose; share your account credentials with others; attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of our services; upload or transmit harmful code, viruses, or malicious content; harass, abuse, or harm other users; infringe on any intellectual property rights; scrape, crawl, or extract data from our services without permission; or interfere with the proper functioning of our services.

Intellectual Property

All content on our services, including courses, videos, text, graphics, logos, software, and design, is owned by Course Engine or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these terms grants you any rights to our intellectual property except the limited license expressly stated herein.

User-Generated Content

When you submit content to our services (such as reviews, forum posts, comments, or profile information), you retain ownership but grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, adapt, publish, and display that content in connection with our services. You represent that your content does not violate any third-party rights and complies with these terms.

Third-Party Services

Our services may contain links to or integrate with third-party websites or services (such as payment processors, video hosts, and social media). We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of third parties. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to their respective terms.

Disclaimers

Our services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that our services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that the information provided is accurate, complete, or current. Courses are for educational purposes only and do not constitute professional advice. You should consult a qualified professional before acting on any information from our courses.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Course Engine and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of our services. Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these terms or our services shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to our services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including violation of these terms. You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us. Upon termination, your right to use our services ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, and liability limitations) will remain in effect.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Course Engine operates, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these terms or our services shall be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction, unless required otherwise by applicable consumer protection law.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you through the service or by email before they take effect. Your continued use of our services after the changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using our services.
