Terms of Use

1. Agreeing to these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and SkillPulseLMS (“we”, “us”), which runs SkillPulseLMS. By creating an account or using the site, you agree to these terms, our Privacy Policy and the Community guidelines. If you don't agree, please don't use SkillPulseLMS.

2. Who can join

• You must be 13 or older.
• If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or guardian agrees to you using SkillPulseLMS and to these terms. Members under 18 get extra protections described in the Privacy Policy.
• You can't join if we have banned you before, or if the law where you live doesn't allow you to use the service.

3. Your account

• Give accurate information, including your year of birth. One account per person.
• Keep your password safe. You are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us straight away at support@skillpulselms.com if you think someone else is using it.
• We may ask you to confirm your email address before you can post or sign in.
• If you sign in with Google, Google's own terms also apply to your Google account.

4. Community rules

Follow the Community guidelines. In particular, don't:

• harass, bully, threaten or discriminate against anyone;
• post sexual, violent, hateful or dangerous content, keeping in mind that members can be as young as 13;
• share someone else's personal information, or your own contact details if you are under 18;
• post passwords, API keys, tokens or other secrets;
• upload content you don't have the right to share, such as paid courses, books or other people's code without permission;
• help others cheat on live exams, assessments or job tests;
• spam, advertise without permission, or create fake accounts or engagement to gain XP or badges;
• post malware or links to it, try to break into accounts or systems, scrape the site in bulk, or overload or disrupt the service;
• pretend to be another person or organisation, or break any law.

5. Your content

You own what you post: questions, answers, notes, projects, courses and images.

By posting, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, display, format and share it on SkillPulseLMS and in features such as search, feeds, notifications and digests. This licence exists only so we can run the service. It ends when your content is deleted, except for copies others have already shared or replied to, and backups kept for a short time.

Code and explanations you post publicly can be read, used and adapted by other members for learning and in their own projects. Please give credit where you can.

You are responsible for your content. You confirm that you have the right to post it and that it doesn't break these terms or anyone else's rights.

6. Moderation and enforcement

To keep SkillPulseLMS safe, we and our moderators may, without notice:

• block content that fails our automatic safety checks;
• hide content that several members have reported;
• edit, hide or remove content;
• limit how often you can post;
• mute your account, or suspend or ban it.

Serious or repeated breaches lead to a ban.

If you think we made a mistake, write to support@skillpulselms.com and we'll review it.

We don't check everything before it appears, and we aren't responsible for content posted by members. Please report anything that breaks the rules.

7. Courses, XP, badges and certificates

• Courses and learning materials are created by members and tutors and are shared for education. They may be incomplete or out of date.
• XP, levels, badges, streaks and leaderboard positions measure your activity in the community. They have no cash value, can't be transferred or sold, and may be adjusted if we find mistakes or abuse.
• Certificates of completion show that you finished a course on SkillPulseLMS. They are not an accredited qualification unless we say otherwise.

8. Sponsored content and paid features

SkillPulseLMS is free to use.

We may show sponsored Spaces, announcements or job listings. These are always clearly labelled, and we never put advertising inside members' answers.

If we introduce paid features, such as memberships, paid courses or job postings, we'll show their prices and any extra terms before you pay.

9. Our service and brand

The SkillPulseLMS name, logo and design, and the software that runs the site, belong to us. Don't use them in a way that suggests we endorse you without our written permission.

The site may link to other websites and services. We don't control them and aren't responsible for them.

10. Disclaimers

SkillPulseLMS is provided “as is” and “as available”. We work to keep it running and accurate, but we don't promise that:

• it will always be available or free of errors;
• answers, code or courses posted by members are correct, safe or suitable for your purpose. Test code before using it, especially in production.

Nothing on SkillPulseLMS is professional, legal, financial or career advice, and we don't guarantee jobs, placements or exam results.

11. Limitation of liability

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for:

• indirect or consequential loss;
• loss of data, profits or opportunities;
• anything caused by content other members post.

If we are found liable to you for anything else, our total liability is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or ₹1,000.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, or your rights as a consumer.

12. Ending your use

You can stop using SkillPulseLMS at any time, and ask us to delete your account by writing to support@skillpulselms.com.

We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or put members at risk. We may also change or stop parts of the service, and will give reasonable notice of major changes where we can.

Sections 5, 10, 11 and 14 continue after your account ends.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as SkillPulseLMS grows. For important changes, we'll update the date at the top and tell members on the site before they take effect. If you keep using SkillPulseLMS after that, you accept the new terms.

14. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of India.

Before going to court, please contact us so we can try to resolve the issue informally. Any dispute that can't be resolved that way will be handled by the courts in India.

If you live in a country whose consumer laws give you the right to bring claims locally, those rights are not affected.
