By creating an account or using CompSciWorld, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please don't use the platform.

• Paid programming tutorials — in-depth written and/or video content covering programming topics
• Paid tutoring sessions — one-on-one or group sessions booked directly with tutors
• Games — interactive programming-related games and exercises
• Project Showcase — a feature allowing users to submit and display their own projects

You must provide accurate information when creating an account and are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential. You're responsible for all activity that happens under your account.

• Purchased tutorials are licensed for your personal, individual use only.
• You may not share, redistribute, resell, or publicly post paid tutorial content in any form, including screenshots, downloads, or re-uploads. Doing so may result in account termination and, where applicable, legal action.
• Tutorial content is protected by copyright and remains the property of CompSciWorld and/or its content creators.

Tutoring sessions are billed per session and scheduled for up to one hour. You're paying for the booked time slot; sessions aren't guaranteed to run the full duration if concluded early by mutual agreement. Session confirmations, calendar invites, and video meeting links (e.g., Google Meet) are provided upon booking. Tutor availability varies and isn't guaranteed — at any given time, there may be limited or no tutors available for a given subject, and tutors may adjust or reduce their open hours at their discretion. CompSciWorld does not guarantee that any tutor will be available at any given time, and holding a Pro or Premium membership does not entitle you to a guaranteed tutor match — CompSciWorld isn't liable for the unavailability of tutors.

Cancellations & Refunds

• Cancelling 24 hours or more before your scheduled session: you'll receive a full refund.
• Cancelling within 24 hours of your scheduled session: no refund will be issued.
• Tutors who cancel a session must issue a full refund to the student, regardless of timing.
• Refunds are processed back to your original payment method via Stripe and may take a few business days to appear.
• Do not record tutoring sessions without the consent of everyone participating. This includes screen recordings, audio recordings, and video recordings.

• Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled.
• If you cancel your membership, it stays active until the end of your current billing period. You won't be charged again, but no partial refund is issued for remaining time in the period.
• We reserve the right to change subscription pricing with advance notice to active subscribers.

• By submitting a project to the Showcase, you confirm you have the right to share it and grant CompSciWorld a license to display it on the platform.
• Submitted projects may be reported by other users and are subject to review and removal at our discretion.

To keep CompSciWorld a respectful and safe platform, users must not:

• Use profanity or swearing in messages, reviews, session interactions, or any user-generated content
• Engage in inappropriate, harassing, discriminatory, or abusive behavior toward tutors, students, or staff
• Share, sell, or redistribute paid tutorial content
• Attempt to circumvent payment for tutoring sessions or tutorials

Tutors are independent contractors, not employees of CompSciWorld. Tutors are responsible for the accuracy of their listed qualifications and availability, and must honor confirmed bookings or provide timely cancellation with a full refund to the student.

All payments are processed securely through Stripe. CompSciWorld retains a platform fee from tutor payouts as disclosed in the tutor agreement. By using the platform, you authorize us to charge your payment method for purchases, bookings, and subscriptions.

All platform content, branding, and tutorial materials (excluding user-submitted Showcase projects) belong to CompSciWorld and may not be copied, distributed, or used commercially without permission.

CompSciWorld provides tutorials, tutoring, and related content "as is." We don't guarantee specific learning outcomes. Tutoring sessions are facilitated by independent tutors, and CompSciWorld isn't responsible for the quality or accuracy of advice given during sessions, beyond enforcing our Code of Conduct.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CompSciWorld isn't liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the platform, including but not limited to the unavailability of tutors for booking despite an active paid subscription or membership.

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms, including but not limited to sharing paid content, abusive behavior, or fraudulent payment activity. We also reserve the right to suspend or delete free accounts that do not have an active paid subscription or membership, including accounts that have remained on the free tier for an extended period of time.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of CompSciWorld after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of [YOUR STATE/COUNTRY], without regard to conflict of law principles.
