Terms of use
These terms apply to everyone who uses ofcourse (ofcourse.website), which is run by cazz, an individual based in South Africa (“we”, “us”). By creating an account or using the site you agree to them. Our privacy policy explains how we handle your information. Questions go to hello@ofcourse.website.
Your account
- You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms for you.
- Give a real email address, keep your password to yourself and tell us if you think someone else is using your account. You are responsible for what happens under it.
- One account per person. Accounts and course access can't be shared or sold.
What is free and what isn't
Videos, articles and lessons marked as free previews are free to read. The rest of each course needs course access. Today course access is granted by us; when it can be bought, the price and what it includes will be shown before you pay, and our refund policy will apply.
Use the site lawfully
Don't use ofcourse to:
- break any law or anyone else's rights;
- harass, threaten or impersonate anyone, or post spam, hateful or sexually explicit material;
- attack, overload, scrape at scale or try to get around the security of the site, including the paywall and the code runner;
- copy or republish paid course content.
If you find a security problem in ofcourse itself, please email hello@ofcourse.website instead of testing it further. We will not act against anyone who reports in good faith and stops there.
Security and hacking material
Some courses and articles teach security and hacking techniques. They are for education and for defending systems. Only use what you learn on computers, networks and accounts that you own or that you have written permission to test. Unauthorised access is a crime in South Africa (under the Cybercrimes Act) and almost everywhere else, and you alone are responsible for how you use what you learn.
Content you post
You keep ownership of what you post: questions, problem reports, your profile and your avatar. You give us a free, worldwide licence to store and show it on ofcourse for as long as it is there. Only post what you have the right to post. We may remove anything that breaks these terms.
Our content
Videos, articles and courses belong to us or to the creators who wrote them. You may use them for your own learning, and you may use the code examples in your own projects. You may not copy, sell or republish the lessons themselves.
Suspending accounts
We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, puts other users or the site at risk, or is used fraudulently, and we will tell you why unless the law or someone's safety prevents it. You can stop using ofcourse and ask us to delete your account at any time.
No guarantees
We work to keep the content accurate and the site running, but ofcourse is provided as it is, without guarantees that it is error-free, always available or fit for a particular purpose. Lessons are educational, not professional advice.
Liability
As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss caused by how you use what you learn here, and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer-protection laws that can't be excluded, including South Africa's Consumer Protection Act and Electronic Communications and Transactions Act.
Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the current version, and we will email account holders before a significant change takes effect. If you keep using ofcourse after that, the new terms apply.
Law
These terms are governed by the laws of South Africa. If you live elsewhere, you keep any protection that your local consumer law gives you.
