3. Data Usage and Privacy
- Cookies are used solely for authentication.
- Personal data collected: GitHub public profile ID, optional display name, and any additional profile links supplied by Authors or Instructors.
- No personal data is sold or shared with third parties except when you voluntarily interact with external services (e.g., Kit, Patreon, Gumroad, Creem.io). Those interactions are governed by the respective third‑party terms.
- Email addresses and payment details are processed exclusively by the above‑mentioned providers; iximiuz Labs never stores them.
- Data collected directly by iximiuz Labs remains confidential.
4. User Roles and Conduct
Learners must:
- Engage respectfully with all users.
- Refrain from hateful, unlawful, or disruptive behaviour.
- Avoid submitting sensitive data or executing prohibited activities (e.g., unsolicited e‑mail, cryptocurrency mining, large‑scale network scanning).
- Report security concerns via responsible disclosure; any malicious attempt to compromise the Platform is strictly forbidden.
Authors may publish content within the Platform’s thematic scope (Linux, networking, containers, Kubernetes, security, observability, CI/CD, server‑side, system programming). Authors:
- Retain full ownership of their material.
- May remove their content at any time.
- Must ensure content is accurate, lawful, and non‑infringing.
- Grant iximiuz Labs a non‑exclusive right to host and display the content.
iximiuz Labs may delist or delete content that violates these Terms or the thematic scope and may permanently ban repeat offenders.

- Acknowledge that iximiuz Labs is not a party to financial transactions between Instructors and Learners (if any) and provides no payment processing, escrow, or dispute‑resolution service.
5. Instructor‑Led Training (ILT) Usage Terms
- Resource Allocation. Labs and virtual machines used during an ILT are provisioned on a best‑effort basis. High utilisation may delay spin‑up times.
- No SLA/SLO. iximiuz Labs offers no service‑level agreement or service‑level objective for ILT uptime, performance, or support response times.
- Recording and Privacy. Recording of ILTs is permitted only with explicit consent from all participants. Instructors are solely responsible for obtaining and retaining such consent.
- Liability. iximiuz Labs bears no responsibility for any outcome (financial, reputational, or otherwise) resulting from an ILT, including—but not limited to—misstatements by an Instructor, equipment failure, or learner dissatisfaction.
The Platform and all content are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE.”
No express, implied, or statutory warranty (including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non‑infringement, or quiet enjoyment) is given.
