Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and PipelinePrep (referred to as “we”, “us”, or “our”). They apply to your access to and use of the PipelinePrep website and any content made available through it (collectively, the “Platform”).

By creating an account, purchasing a plan, or otherwise using the Platform, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use the Platform.

PipelinePrep provides practice content for cloud and DevOps study, consisting of multiple-choice quizzes with written explanations, and guided troubleshooting scenario walkthroughs. Access to Premium content is granted for the period covered by the plan you purchase.

We may add, modify, or remove content from time to time. We aim to improve accuracy and coverage, and may correct or retire questions that become outdated as technology changes. Where a correction materially affects content you have already completed, we may grant a credit or extend your access at our discretion.

You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account. To keep the Platform secure and to comply with our obligations, please:

All content on the Platform, including question text, explanations, scenario narratives, code samples, written text, design, and the PipelinePrep name and branding, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the content for your own learning during your subscription period. This licence does not permit:

• Copying, downloading, scraping, or redistributing content, in whole or in part, whether by automated means or manual.
• Publishing, posting, or sharing content publicly, including on social media, forums, or file-sharing services.
• Selling, sublicensing, or giving access to third parties, including through shared or purchased accounts.
• Removing or altering copyright, attribution, or licence notices.

Questions relating to third-party products and services are our original editorial expression. The names and trademarks of third parties, including Amazon Web Services, Kubernetes, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, HashiCorp, Docker, and others, belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only.

You agree not to, and not to permit anyone else to:

• Attempt to access Premium content without a valid subscription, or circumvent, bypass, or attempt to circumvent any access control, paywall, rate limit, or entitlement check.
• Use automated tools, crawlers, scrapers, or bots to harvest content, except the search engine crawlers permitted in our robots policy.
• Probe, test, or attack the vulnerability of the Platform or its infrastructure, or interfere with its operation.
• Transmit malware, unlawful content, or content that infringes the rights of others.

We employ technical measures to detect and prevent unauthorised automated access. We may apply rate limits, suspend accounts engaged in abusive or automated behaviour, and pursue any remedy available to us where these Terms are breached.

The Platform may contain links to external websites. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. Links are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement.

The Platform and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, and uninterrupted availability.

Educational content is not professional advice. Nothing on the Platform constitutes legal, financial, security, or career advice. Cloud and DevOps practices described may not be appropriate for your circumstances; validate any approach against the documentation for the products you operate, and against your organisation’s policies, before applying it in production.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Amazon Web Services, Kubernetes, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, HashiCorp, Docker, or any certification or examination body. Reference to their certifications, products, or trademarks does not imply any association, and no certification is awarded by completing our content.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PipelinePrep and its officers, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Platform, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Platform shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or INR 1,000, whichever is higher.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Certain jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or liabilities, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

You may delete your account at any time from your dashboard. Deleting your account permanently removes your personal data, attempt history, and saved progress, and cannot be undone. Subscriptions already paid for are not refunded automatically; see our Refund Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, for example by sharing an account, scraping content, or circumventing access controls. Where the breach is capable of being remedied, we will ordinarily give you notice and an opportunity to remedy it first. Termination does not affect accrued rights or liabilities.

We may revise these Terms from time to time. Where a change is material and affects your rights, we will provide reasonable notice (for example, by email or by posting a notice on the Platform) before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Platform after the effective date of a change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, excluding its conflict of law provisions. Subject to the dispute resolution steps below, the courts at [operator city, India] shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms. We may update this clause to name our registered place of business.

Before commencing proceedings, you agree to raise the dispute with us first via the contact page and allow a reasonable opportunity to resolve it informally. Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
