📜 Terms of Service

1 Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Girl Code, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you are under 18, your parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these terms on your behalf before you use the platform.

If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use Girl Code. Continued use of the platform after changes to these terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.

2 Description of Service

Girl Code is an AI-powered educational platform designed to help teens (ages 12–18) learn Python programming in a fun, supportive, and conversational environment.

Our service includes:

• Interactive, AI-guided Python lessons and exercises
• A conversational coding assistant that adapts to your learning pace
• Progress tracking and skill-level assessments
• Classroom features for teachers and group leaders

We are always improving Girl Code, which means features may be added, modified, or removed over time.

3 User Accounts

To use Girl Code, you may need to create an account. When you do, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and up-to-date information during registration
• Keep your password secure and confidential — don't share it with anyone
• Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account
• Take responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account

4 Acceptable Use

Girl Code is a safe learning space. When using the platform, you agree not to:

• Write, submit, or distribute code intended to harm, exploit, or disrupt systems or other users
• Attempt to bypass platform security, access restrictions, or sandbox limitations
• Harass, bully, or behave disrespectfully toward other learners, teachers, or staff
• Share inappropriate, offensive, or harmful content of any kind
• Use the platform for any purpose other than learning and education

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these guidelines. Let's keep Girl Code a place where everyone feels welcome to learn. 💖

5 Code Execution

Girl Code may allow you to write and run Python code within a sandboxed environment. Please be aware of the following:

• Code execution occurs in a restricted sandbox with limited system access, resources, and runtime duration
• The sandbox is designed for educational exercises — it is not a general-purpose computing environment
• We are not responsible for the behavior, output, or consequences of code you write and execute
• Certain Python libraries, system calls, and operations may be unavailable or restricted
