Terms and conditions

These terms are an agreement between you and Code Gradient (sole proprietorship; proprietor: Dheeraj Sharma) ("Code Gradient", "we", "us") for the use of our website, apps, courses, certificates and internship services (together, the "Services"). By creating an account, buying a course or using the Services you accept these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

1. Our Services

Code Gradient offers recorded video courses (mostly in Hinglish), a learning portal with progress tracking, notes, practice questions and resources, certificates of completion, and an internship pathway. Course details — content, duration, access period and price — are shown on each course page and form part of these terms.

2. Eligibility and your account

• You must give true and complete information and keep it up to date.
• If you are under 18, use the Services with the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian.
• One account is for one person. Keep your password private; you are responsible for everything done through your account. Tell us at [email protected] at once if you think it has been misused.

3. Access to courses

• Buying a course gives you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to watch it inside the Code Gradient website or app for the access period shown on the course page. "Lifetime" means for as long as the course is offered on the platform.
• Part-payment plans unlock access as described at checkout; access continues only while the plan is paid on time.
• We may update, re-record or reorganise course content to keep it current.
• Videos are streamed, not downloaded. A faint identifier of the viewer is shown on paid video.

4. Intellectual property

All course videos, notes, questions, code, designs, logos and other material belong to Code Gradient or its instructors and are protected by copyright and other laws. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership to you. Code you write yourself while learning remains yours.

5. Content protection — what you must not do

• Download, screen-record, copy, re-upload, share, sell or rent course videos, notes, questions or any paid material, in full or in part.
• Share your login or paid access, or let more than one person use one account.
• Use bots, scrapers, download tools or any method to get around access controls, rate limits or the watermark.
• Remove or hide watermarks, copyright notices or identifiers.
• Upload anything unlawful, abusive, plagiarised or that infringes someone else's rights.

6. Monitoring and account security

To protect paid content we record technical playback information — for example which lessons were opened, when, and hashed network and device identifiers — and we limit how fast lessons can be opened and streamed. Accounts showing signs of sharing or bulk downloading may be limited, suspended or closed. Details are in our Privacy policy.

7. Breach of these terms

If you break section 5 or misuse the Services, we may suspend or close your account and remove access without refund, revoke certificates issued for that account, and take legal action, including under the Copyright Act, 1957 and the Information Technology Act, 2000. You may be liable for the loss caused.

8. Payments

• Prices are shown in Indian Rupees and may include applicable taxes. The price charged is the price shown at checkout.
• Payments are processed by our payment gateway partner, PhonePe (UPI, cards and net banking); we do not store your card, UPI PIN or bank details.
• Access is granted only after the payment is confirmed by the payment partner.
• Coupons and partner discounts apply only as shown at checkout and cannot be combined unless stated.
• Refunds follow our Refund policy.

9. Certificates and internships

Certificates are issued only when the completion rules shown for the course are met, and can be verified publicly with their certificate number. A refund, chargeback or breach of these terms cancels the certificate. Internship opportunities depend on availability and selection; a course purchase does not guarantee an internship, a job or any income.

10. Reviews and contributions

Reviews, questions, notes and other content you post must be honest and lawful. You give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display and use what you post publicly on the Services. We may remove content that breaks these terms.

11. Partners and referrals

Partner and referral programmes have their own terms, shared when you join. Commission is paid only on genuine, completed and non-refunded purchases.

12. Availability and changes

We try to keep the Services available but do not promise uninterrupted access; maintenance, outages or third-party failures can happen. We may change, suspend or discontinue features.

13. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

Courses are for education. Outcomes depend on your own effort and we make no promise of results, marks, jobs or earnings. To the extent allowed by law, the Services are provided "as is", and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the course concerned. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss.

14. Indemnity

You agree to compensate Code Gradient for losses caused by your breach of these terms or misuse of the Services.

15. Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you breach these terms or if required by law. Sections that by their nature should continue (including 4, 5, 7, 13 and 14) continue after termination.

16. Electronic communication

By using the Services you agree to receive emails and messages about your account, purchases and courses. Clicking "Pay", "Enrol" or "I agree" is your electronic acceptance of these terms and the policies linked at checkout.

17. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts at Sikar, Rajasthan have exclusive jurisdiction. We will first try to resolve any dispute through our support team; please write to [email protected].

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version; continuing to use the Services after a change means you accept it.
