Terms of Service.
Last updated: 9 October 2026
The agreement
- These terms are the contract between you and Percept (operated by Riyansh Diwan, trading as Percept — “we”, “us”). By creating an account or using the service you accept them. If you don't agree, don't use Percept.
- Percept is a visual learning platform for AI: interactive lessons, quizzes, projects, certificates and an AI study companion (Nova).
Eligibility
- You must be at least 13 years old to use Percept (the UK's age of digital consent). By signing up you confirm you are 13 or older. Users under 18 should review these terms with a parent or guardian.
Your account
- Keep your credentials safe — you're responsible for activity on your account.
- One person, one account. Don't share, sell, or transfer it.
- We can suspend or terminate accounts that abuse the service or breach these terms, with notice where practical.
- You can delete your account at any time in Settings — deletion removes your profile, progress and certificates.
Acceptable use
- Don't hammer the API, automate lesson completion, scrape the curriculum, attempt to break security or access controls, harass other users, or use Nova to generate unrelated content at scale.
- Don't use Percept for anything unlawful, or to build something designed to deceive (fake credentials, impersonation).
- Normal learning use is unlimited on Pro; abuse isn't, and we can throttle or suspend accounts that degrade the service for others.
- Third-party tools linked in the Backpack (GitHub, Google, Kaggle…) are governed by their own terms — claiming student perks requires their eligibility rules.
Intellectual property
- Lessons, visualizations, the curriculum, branding and the Percept name are ours or our licensors'. You get a personal, non-transferable licence to use them for learning — don't copy the curriculum wholesale, republish it, or remove attribution.
- Projects you build and submit are yours. Submitting a project grants us a licence to store it and display it back to you.
- Feedback you send us may be used to improve the service without obligation to you.
Nova, the AI tutor
- Nova's answers are AI-generated and can be wrong or incomplete. They are educational suggestions — double-check anything that matters, especially code you ship.
- Nova is not professional, legal, financial or careers advice. We don't guarantee accuracy and aren't liable for decisions made on its output.
- Your chat messages are processed by third-party AI providers (see the Privacy Policy) to generate replies.
Certificates
- Percept certificates show you completed a track on this platform. They are not accredited qualifications, degrees or industry certifications — external exams (AWS, Azure, Google) are run by those providers under their own terms.
- Certificate verify links are public-by-link: anyone with the link can see the name and credential shown on it.
- We may revoke certificates obtained through cheating or exploit.
Pro subscription
- Pro is a rolling monthly subscription (£9/month) unlocking unlimited lessons and Nova. Prices may change with notice; changes apply from your next billing period.
- Cancel any time in Settings or via the billing portal — access continues until the end of the paid period, and we don't charge cancellation fees.
- Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have 14 days from purchase to cancel for a full refund, unless you asked for immediate access and used the service, in which case we may deduct a proportionate amount. Email us to exercise this right.
- Failed payments may pause Pro features; the free tier remains available.
Liability
- Percept is provided with reasonable care and skill, as-is. We're an education platform — not liable for exam outcomes, job decisions, or anything you build with what you learn.
- Nothing in these terms excludes liability that can't be excluded by law (death/personal injury by negligence, fraud, or your statutory consumer rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015).
- Otherwise, our total liability to you is capped at the amount you've paid us in the 12 months before the claim (or £50 for free users).
Governing law
- These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction — except where consumer law gives you the right to use your local courts.
Changes
- We may update these terms; material changes will be announced in-app to signed-in users before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date means acceptance.
