GitLearn aims to transform lives by facilitating knowledge acquisition. Our platform allows individuals worldwide to both produce and disseminate instructional materials (instructors) and access such content for learning (students). Our marketplace approach optimizes the delivery of valuable educational resources to users. To preserve the safety and integrity of our platform, these Terms of Use apply to all activities on GitLearn's website, mobile applications, TV applications, APIs, and other associated services ("Services"). If you publish a course on GitLearn, you must also adhere to the Instructor Terms. Furthermore, our Privacy Policy outlines the details of our personal data processing for students and instructors.
If you are a resident of the United States or Canada, by agreeing to these Terms, you consent to resolving disputes with GitLearn through binding arbitration (with very limited exceptions), and waive specific rights to participate in class actions, as detailed in the Dispute Resolution section.
To engage in most activities on our platform, you will need an account. Safeguard your password, as you are responsible for all activities associated with your account. If you suspect unauthorized use of your account, contact our Support Team. To use GitLearn, you must have reached the age of consent for online services in your country.
When creating and maintaining your account, it is essential to provide and continuously update accurate and complete information, including a valid email address. You bear full responsibility for your account and all associated activities, including any harm or damage (to us or anyone else) resulting from unauthorized use. Consequently, you must handle your password with care. Account transfer or use of someone else's account is prohibited. If you request access to an account, we will only grant access if you provide the necessary information to prove you are the account owner. In case of a user's death, their account will be closed.
Sharing your account login credentials with others is not allowed. You are responsible for any activities occurring under your account, and GitLearn will not intervene in disputes between students or instructors who have shared login credentials. Immediately notify us if you suspect unauthorized use of your account or any other security breach by contacting our Support Team. We may request specific information to confirm your account ownership.
Students and instructors must be at least 18 years old to create an account on GitLearn and use the Services. If you are younger than 18 but meet the required age for consent to use online services in your country (e.g., 13 in the US or 16 in Ireland), you may not create an account. Instead, we encourage you to ask a parent or guardian to open an account and assist you in accessing age-appropriate content. If you are below the age of consent for online services, you cannot create a GitLearn account. We will terminate any account violating these rules. Under our Instructor Terms, you may need to verify your identity before submitting content for publication on GitLearn.

Perpetual access licenses for content are typically provided, allowing you to access the content for as long as it remains on GitLearn. However, we reserve the right to revoke any license to access and use content at our discretion if we determine that a user has violated these Terms or engaged in any illegal or harmful behavior. Additionally, we may remove content from our platform due to legal or policy reasons, which would also result in the revocation of your access license.
For Subscription Plan enrollments, your access to content will be limited to the duration of your subscription. Once your subscription ends, you will no longer have access to the content.
When purchasing a course, you agree to pay the applicable fees and taxes. All transactions are handled by third-party payment processors, and you must provide accurate and complete billing information.
