These Terms of Service (Terms) form a binding agreement between you and Codritium (ABN 68 872 276 630), based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (referred to as Codritium, we, us, or our). They cover your use of the Codritium website, platform, books, certifications, and any related products and services (the Service).
By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise using the Service, you confirm that you have read these Terms and agree to be bound by them. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

- Be at least 16 years old.
- Be legally able to enter into a binding contract under the laws that apply to you.
- Not be barred from receiving the Service under applicable law.
3. Accounts
3.1 Account creation
You agree to provide accurate information when you register, and to keep that information current. One account per person; accounts are not transferable.
3.2 Security
You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at security@codritium.com if you suspect unauthorised access.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Attempt to extract, scrape, or republish challenge content, solutions, rubrics, or replay artefacts in bulk, whether by automated means or otherwise.

- Impersonate any other engineer, claim credentials you have not earned, or misrepresent your affiliation with Codritium.
- Use the Service to harass, threaten, dox, or harm any person, or to publish unlawful content.
- Interfere with the operation of the Service — including by probing, denial-of-service, or attempting to bypass rate limits, authorisation, or scoring controls.
- Use the Service to develop a competing product or to benchmark Codritium for the purpose of building a substantially similar service.
Coordinated vulnerability disclosure is welcomed at security@codritium.com; please do not test against other users' accounts or data.
5. Intellectual property
5.1 Codritium's IP
The Service, including the challenges, the rubric, the platform software, the brand marks, the books, the certifications, and all published research, are owned by Codritium or our licensors and are protected by Australian and international intellectual-property law. Except for the licences we grant in these Terms, no rights are transferred to you.
5.2 Your submissions
You retain ownership of the code, replays, annotations, and other content you submit (Your Content). By submitting Your Content, you grant Codritium a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, process, display, score, and otherwise use Your Content for the purpose of operating the Service, including showing it on leaderboards, panel reviews, and in your public profile if you choose to make those public.
5.3 Publication and research use
We will not publish Your Content as a case study, attributed example, or marketing material without your separate, written, opt-in consent. Aggregated, de-identified statistics derived from Your Content (for example, in our research reports) are not subject to this restriction.
5.4 Feedback
If you send us suggestions or feedback, we may use them without compensation or attribution; we will treat any clearly confidential feedback as such on request.
6. Replay data and scoring
Replay data is central to the Service. We use it to apply the public scoring rubric, to render the decision-timeline interface, and (where applicable) to issue credentials. Scoring decisions are made under the published rubric in good faith; while we will correct demonstrable rubric application errors, scoring is not appealable as a matter of right.
7. Payments and subscriptions
7.1 Plans
The Service is offered in a free tier and one or more paid tiers, and as one-time purchases (books, certifications). Available plans and prices are shown on the relevant product pages. Prices are expressed in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated and are exclusive of GST where applicable, which we add at checkout where required.
7.2 Billing
Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual) until cancelled. You authorise our payment processor to charge your stored payment method on the same cadence. You can cancel at any time from your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period.
7.3 Refunds
Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
7.4 Price changes
We may change prices for new billing periods, with at least 30 days' notice to active subscribers via email. Existing paid periods are not affected; you can cancel before renewal if you do not accept the new price.
8. Certifications
- Codritium certifications represent successful performance against the published rubric for the credential. They are not professional licences and do not guarantee any employment, salary, or business outcome.
- Credentials may be revoked for material misconduct (for example, impersonation, plagiarism, or rubric-circumvention).
- Credentials are time-bounded and require recertification on the schedule published for each credential.
9. Books and downloadable content
When you purchase a book or other digital content, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use it for your own learning. You may not redistribute, resell, sublicense, or share access with others. Refund terms are in the Refund Policy.
10. Community spaces
Your participation in Codritium-operated community spaces (for example, our Discord server) is additionally governed by the Community Guidelines. We may remove content or suspend access for guideline violations as described there.
11. Third-party services
The Service may link to or integrate with third-party services. We are not responsible for those services; your use of them is governed by the relevant third party's terms and privacy policy.
12. Disclaimers
To the extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure against every attack, or that any specific challenge or credential will produce any particular outcome for you.
Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) or any equivalent consumer protection law that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where we can lawfully limit our liability for a breach of a consumer guarantee, we limit it to (at our option) re-supplying the relevant services or refunding the amount you paid for them.
13. Limitation of liability
Subject to §12, and to the maximum extent permitted by law:
- Neither party is liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of revenue, profits, business opportunity, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with the Service or these Terms.
- Codritium's total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Service or these Terms is capped at the greater of (a) the amount you paid to Codritium for the Service in the twelve months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) AUD $100.
14. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold Codritium harmless from any third-party claim arising out of (a) Your Content, (b) your use of the Service in breach of these Terms or applicable law, or (c) your infringement of any intellectual-property or privacy right. We may assume control of the defence and settlement of any such claim; you agree to cooperate.
15. Suspension and termination
You may close your account at any time from your account settings. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service:
- For material breach of these Terms that is not cured within 7 days of notice;
- Immediately, for conduct that exposes Codritium or other users to legal, security, or reputational risk;
- If we discontinue all or part of the Service, with reasonable notice and (where applicable) a prorated refund.
On termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive (including IP, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, and governing law) survive termination.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. The revised version will be posted with an updated effective date. For material changes adverse to you, we will provide at least 30 days' notice via email or in-product notice before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
17. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. You and Codritium each agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales for any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any competent court to protect intellectual property or confidential information.
Before commencing any formal proceeding, the parties agree to try in good faith to resolve the dispute by writing to legal@codritium.com and conferring for at least 30 days. Australian Consumer Law protections are not affected.
18. General
- Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the documents they reference, are the entire agreement between you and Codritium regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreement.
- Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder remains in full force.
- No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
- Force majeure. Neither party is liable for performance delays caused by events outside its reasonable control.
- Notices. We give notice via email to the address on your account or via in-product notice. You give notice to legal@codritium.com.
