The rules for using the platform.

These terms are an agreement between you and Aptexis LLC, which operates the Aptexis program and this website. By creating an account or using the site you accept them. If you do not, do not use the site.

Everything about money — the total cost of the program, when it becomes payable, and what happens if you are never placed — is governed by the enrollment agreement you sign before your curriculum unlocks, not by these terms. Where the two conflict, the enrollment agreement prevails, then these terms, then the Privacy Policy.

Nothing on this site is an offer of employment. Once you are enrolled we do work on the employment side with you — marketing and recruitment on your behalf, and interview preparation — and the enrollment agreement sets out what that commitment is and what it is not. We do not guarantee an interview, an offer, a role, or any level of pay, and accepting a job stays your decision.

You must be at least 18 years old. You must give accurate information when you apply, and keep your account details accurate.

Your account is yours alone. Keep your password to yourself, do not let anyone else use your account, and tell us at info@aptexis.com if you think someone has.

Admission is automatic: submitting the signup form admits you to the program, and there is no separate review. Curriculum access unlocks once the application and platform fee in clause 5 has been paid or waived and you have signed the enrollment agreement. Being admitted does not stop us suspending or closing an account under clause 10.

Before you can sign the enrollment agreement you pay a one-time application and platform fee of $99 (USD), covering the processing of your application and the cost of running the platform. It is charged through Stripe.

You may ask us to waive the fee from your dashboard. Whether we do is our decision; we will tell you either way by email. Until a waiver is granted the fee is still owed before you can sign, and you may pay it at any time instead of waiting.

The fee is non-refundable. It pays for costs already incurred — processing your application and running the platform — so it is not returned if you withdraw, if you change your mind after paying, or if you never sign the enrollment agreement.

It is separate from the cost of the program and is not credited against it. If we charge you in error, we refund it in full. Nothing here affects any refund right you have under the law of your country that cannot be waived by agreement.

The curriculum — the written material, diagrams, exercises, projects, and quizzes — belongs to Aptexis LLC. While your enrollment is active we grant you a personal, non-transferable licence to use it to learn.

You may not republish it, sell it, share your account, post the material publicly, or use it to run a competing program. The code you write is yours; the coursework you write it against is not.

Videos hosted on YouTube belong to whoever made them. We link and embed; we do not own them, and your use of them is subject to YouTube's terms.

Do not attempt to break, overload, or gain unauthorised access to the platform, other students' accounts, or the systems behind them. Do not upload malware, or content you have no right to upload. Do not scrape or bulk-download the curriculum.

The resume checker is for your own resume. Do not use it to process other people's documents without their knowledge.

Enrolled students can request one-to-one sessions with a mentor. Sessions depend on a mentor being free and willing to take the request: there is no guaranteed number of them, no guaranteed response time, and a mentor may decline or reschedule. We may change, limit, or withdraw the feature at any time. None of that changes anything about what you owe.

A session is help with your learning. It is not career advice, not legal or financial advice, and not a review of anything you are about to sign. Turn up, or cancel far enough ahead that the slot can go to someone else; repeatedly missing booked sessions is a reason we may stop taking your requests. Do not record a session without the mentor's agreement, and treat what a mentor tells you as guidance you still have to check.

The dashboard includes an AI study assistant. It is a learning aid built on a third-party model, and it can be confidently wrong. Do not rely on it for anything that matters without checking it, and do not treat it as professional, legal, financial, medical, or career advice. Nothing it says binds Aptexis LLC or changes these terms or the enrollment agreement.

What you type into it, along with your first name, your track, and an extract of the lesson you are on, is sent to our AI provider to produce each answer — see the Privacy Policy. Do not paste anything into it that you would not want leaving our systems: no passwords, no card numbers, no confidential material belonging to anyone else. We may rate limit it, change the model behind it, or switch it off.

You may close your account at any time by emailing info@aptexis.com. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, and will tell you why unless we are legally prevented from doing so.

Closing your account does not by itself cancel a signed enrollment agreement; that document says what survives, and payment obligations under it are triggered only by Qualifying Employment, as that agreement defines it.

The platform is provided as it is. We work to keep it accurate and available, but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any particular material will remain available. To the fullest extent the law allows we disclaim the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We market you to employers, put your name forward, and prepare you for interviews, and we do that with reasonable care. None of it guarantees a job, an interview, or any particular salary — no one can control who an employer hires. The only thing tied to being hired is that you owe nothing without it.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Aptexis LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from your use of the platform, including lost earnings, lost opportunity, and loss of data.

To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability to you for everything arising out of these terms is limited to the greater of the amounts you have actually paid us and $99. Nothing here limits liability for fraud, for personal injury, or anything else that cannot lawfully be limited, and nothing here caps what the enrollment agreement says about money you owe us or do not.

If someone brings a claim against us because of something you did — content you uploaded that you had no right to upload, use of the platform that breaks clause 7, or a breach of these terms — you cover our reasonable costs of dealing with it, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent the law allows. We will tell you promptly about any such claim and will not settle it without talking to you first.

We are not responsible for failing to deliver the platform because of something genuinely outside our control — an outage at a provider we depend on, a network or power failure, a natural event, war, or a change in the law. We will restore the service as soon as we reasonably can.

How we handle your personal information is set out in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

We may update these terms. If a change materially affects you, we will email you before it takes effect. Continuing to use the platform after that means you accept the updated terms. If you do not accept them, close your account — and note that a signed enrollment agreement can only be changed in writing by both of us, not by an update to this page.

These terms, and any dispute arising out of them, are governed by the laws of the State of Virginia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Where the law of the place you live gives you consumer rights that cannot be overridden by agreement, this clause does not take them away.

Email info@aptexis.com first, setting out the problem and what you want, and neither of us starts a formal proceeding for thirty (30) days while we try to settle it.

If that fails, any dispute arising out of these terms is resolved by binding individual arbitration before a single arbitrator, seated in Prince William County, Virginia, under the consumer arbitration rules of a recognised arbitration provider we agree on. Either of us may instead bring a qualifying claim in small claims court, and either of us may go to court to protect intellectual property. Neither of us may bring a class, collective, or representative action. If that waiver is held unenforceable, this whole clause falls away and disputes go to the courts of the place named in clause 17.

You may reject this clause 18 in full by emailing info@aptexis.com within 30 days of accepting these terms, with no effect on anything else and no consequence for your account. If you have signed an enrollment agreement, the dispute clause in that document governs anything arising out of it.

These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about the platform, and they replace anything said beforehand. If a term is held unenforceable, it is severed and the rest stays in force. If we do not enforce something straight away, we keep the right to enforce it later. You may not transfer your rights under these terms; we may transfer ours to a company that takes over this business. Notices to you go to your account email address; notices to us go to info@aptexis.com. Clauses 6, 7, and 11 to 19 survive the closing of your account.
