Terms of Service

By using CodingNic, you agree to these terms. Read them carefully — they cover your responsibilities, the service we provide, and the limits of our liability.

Acceptance

Creating an account or booking a session means you accept these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the platform.

The service

CodingNic provides:

  • Self-paced online courses on programming and web development.
  • One-on-one tutoring sessions, scheduled and arranged through the site.
  • Direct messaging with the tutor for course-related questions.

The service is provided “as is.” We strive for high availability but don’t guarantee uninterrupted access.

Your account

  • Provide accurate information when signing up.
  • Keep access to your email secure — anyone with it can sign in to your account.
  • One person per account. Don’t share credentials.
  • You’re responsible for activity on your account.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that abuse the service, harass others, or violate these terms.

Bookings and payments

  • Tutoring sessions are scheduled through the booking page subject to the tutor’s availability.
  • Payments are arranged off-platform (M-Pesa, bank transfer, or direct arrangement). Confirmation instructions are included in your booking confirmation email.
  • A booking is confirmed once the tutor has received and verified payment.
  • You may cancel up to 12 hours before the session start time. Cancellations within that window may not be refundable.
  • The tutor may reschedule sessions when needed; you’ll be notified by email and can pick a different time if the new one doesn’t suit.
  • No-shows without notice may forfeit the session fee.

Acceptable use

You agree NOT to:

  • Use the platform for unlawful purposes.
  • Harass, threaten, or impersonate other users or the tutor.
  • Attempt to access accounts or data that aren’t yours.
  • Scrape, copy, or redistribute course content without permission.
  • Submit malicious code, spam, or content that violates copyright.

Course content

  • All courses, lessons, and other materials on the platform are protected by copyright.
  • You’re granted a personal, non-transferable license to view course content for your own learning.
  • You may not redistribute, republish, or share course content publicly without written permission.

User-submitted content

  • Reviews and messages you post remain yours, but you grant us a license to display them on the platform.
  • You’re responsible for the content you submit. Don’t post anything that’s illegal, abusive, or infringes others’ rights.
  • We may remove content that violates these terms, without prior notice.

Liability

  • The platform is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
  • To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.
  • Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for tutoring sessions in the three months preceding the claim.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.

Termination

You can stop using the service at any time and request account deletion. We may terminate your access for violations of these terms or for prolonged inactivity.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Kenya. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Nairobi.
