Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Edova("Edova," "we," "us," or "our"), operating as [your registered legal entity, e.g. Edova, LLC]. They govern your access to and use of our website, our online Academy courses and certificates, our software products (including Sentinel, Meld, and Vigil), and our advisoryservices (together, the "Services").

By creating an account, purchasing, enrolling, or otherwise using the Services, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Refund Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms.

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to purchase, and at least 16 to hold an account, unless a parent or guardian agrees to these Terms on your behalf. You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for keeping your credentials confidential, and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at hello@edova.ai of any unauthorized use.

• Prices are shown at checkout in [currency] and may change over time; the price you pay is the price displayed when you complete your order.
• Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor(s) ([e.g. Stripe]). We do not store full card details. Your use of the processor is also subject to its terms.
• You authorize us (and our processor) to charge your selected payment method for the order total, including applicable taxes.
• If any offering is sold on a recurring or subscription basis, the renewal cadence, price, and cancellation method will be disclosed at checkout, and you may cancel future renewals at any time as described there. [Complete or remove if you do not offer subscriptions.]

• When you purchase a course, we grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to access that course's materials for your own learning, for as long as we offer the course to your account (or for any access period stated at checkout).
• Course materials — including text, code samples, datasets, and downloadable course-assets starter kits — are our intellectual property or licensed to us. You may use them to learn and to build your own projects, but you may not resell, publicly redistribute, or share your account or the materials with others.
• Certificates issued on course completion (for example EDOVA-XXX-2026-XXXX credentials) recognize completion of the course. They are not accredited degrees, licenses, or guarantees of any professional outcome, employment, or certification by any external body.
• Our courses are educational. Following a course does not guarantee any particular result (an app accepted to a store, a passing audit, a performance improvement, a hire, etc.).

Some courses instruct you to sign up for and use third-party services — for example AI model APIs (such as Anthropic or Voyage), cloud/hosting providers, or paid developer programs (such as the Apple Developer Program). Those services are provided by third parties under their own terms and pricing. You are solely responsible for any accounts you create and any fees, API-usage charges, or subscription costs you incur with them. Edova does not control and is not responsible for third-party services, and the cost figures in our materials are illustrative estimates, not quotes.

• Our software products are licensed, not sold, and their use may be governed by a separate product or subscription agreement in addition to these Terms.
• Deliberately-vulnerable lab material.Certain security courses ship intentionally insecure practice code (for example the "Vulnerable Harbor Lane" lab) so you can attack and then harden it in a controlled, local setting. This material is provided for education only. You must not deploy it, expose it to the public internet, connect it to real systems or data, or use it against any system you do not own and have explicit authorization to test. You are responsible for how you use it, and you agree to use it lawfully and ethically.

You agree not to:

• copy, resell, or redistribute the Services or their content except as expressly allowed;
• share, transfer, or resell your account or access credentials;
• reverse engineer, scrape, or attempt to extract source data except where the law permits;
• use the Services to build a competing course catalog or to train models on our materials without permission;
• use the Services unlawfully, or to harm, harass, or infringe the rights of others.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, and may remove content or access at our reasonable discretion.

The Services, and all content we provide (excluding your own inputs and third-party materials), are owned by Edova or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you only the limited licenses described in these Terms. You retain ownership of the projects and content you create.

The Services and all content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any code, technique, or estimate in our materials will be accurate, current, or suitable for your situation. Nothing in our materials is legal, financial, tax, or professional advice.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Edova and its owners, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Services — including any third-party costs (such as API-usage charges) you incur while following our materials. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the Services is limited to the amount you paid us for the specific offering giving rise to the claim in the [12] months before the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify and hold Edova harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your misuse of the deliberately-vulnerable lab material.

We may update the Services and these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of [your state/country], without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The courts located in [your jurisdiction] will have exclusive jurisdiction, except where applicable consumer-protection law gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts. [If you want arbitration or a class-action waiver, add it here with legal review.]
