By accessing or using the Site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms; if you do not agree, please stop using the Site.

This service is operated from Germany and is governed by German and EU law. The following applies wherever in the world you access this site.

1. Description of the Service

The Site is an independently produced educational project that provides interactive learning content about the Verse programming language and its related toolchain, including original lessons, sample code, exercises, and reference material. All instructional content is independently written and compiled by us and is intended to help learners understand the relevant technical concepts.

The Site’s content is provided for learning and reference purposes only and does not constitute professional advice, a commercial guarantee, or any assurance of fitness for a particular purpose. Technology platforms and third-party products change over time, and we do not warrant that the content is up to date, complete, or error-free at any given point in time.

2. Accounts

Certain features of the Site (such as syncing your learning progress or saving preferences across devices) may require you to register an account. With respect to your account, you agree to:

• provide true, accurate, and complete information when registering, and keep it up to date when it changes;
• keep your login credentials secure and remain responsible for all activity conducted through your account;
• notify us as soon as possible via the contact details set out in our Impressum if you discover any unauthorized use of your account;
• not impersonate others, and not share your account with others to circumvent usage restrictions.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, or where necessary for security, legal, or operational reasons. You may also request deletion of your account at any time via the contact details set out in our Impressum.

• abusing the Site’s resources by circumventing technical restrictions, forging requests, or using automated means.

We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate access in response to any use that violates these Terms.

4. Digital Content and Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, the copyright and related intellectual property rights in the Site’s lesson texts, explanations, structural arrangement, sample code, interface design, graphics, and other original content are owned by us or the respective rights holders and are protected by applicable law.

Provided you comply with these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Site’s content solely for your personal, non-commercial learning and reference. Without our prior written consent, you may not copy, distribute, publicly communicate, adapt, sell, or otherwise commercially exploit the Site’s content.

Third-party names, trademarks, and materials appearing on the Site belong to their respective owners. Any reference to them on the Site is made solely for descriptive and educational purposes and does not imply any affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement (see “Unofficial Status Notice” below).

Intellectual Property Complaints

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that any content on the Site infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, please contact us at our dedicated intellectual property email address, freeketchup@icloud.com, and, where possible, include the following information in your notice so that we can verify and process it:

• the specific location on the Site of the allegedly infringing content (a URL or a description sufficient to locate it);
• a description of the work or right you claim to hold, together with proof of ownership;
• your contact details (name/entity name, address, email, etc.);
• a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is unauthorized and that the information in your notice is true and accurate.

Upon receiving a notice that meets these requirements, we will review it within a reasonable time and, where necessary, remove or block the relevant content. We may also contact the relevant parties regarding disputed notices for further verification.

5. Third-Party Services

The Site may contain links or references to third-party websites, platforms, tools, or services (for example, official documentation, download channels, or hosting services). Such third-party content is provided and controlled independently by its respective operators.

We accept no responsibility for the availability, accuracy, or content of third-party services, or for their privacy practices or terms, and we do not endorse their conduct. Your access to or use of any third-party service is subject to that third party’s own terms and policies, and any associated risk is borne by you.

6. Payments and Refunds

The Site’s instructional content may currently include both free and paid portions. If you purchase paid content or services offered by the Site, the specific prices, billing methods, and subscription periods (where applicable) will be presented to you before purchase.

For information on payment methods, refund conditions, the statutory right of withdrawal (cooling-off period), and how to exercise it, see Section 12 (Refunds and Right of Withdrawal) below, which forms an integral part of these Terms.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Site and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, or uninterrupted or error-free operation.

The Site is an independent educational resource. We do not guarantee that studying the Site’s content will lead to any particular learning outcome, certification, employment, or commercial result. Any decisions you make and actions you take based on the Site’s content are at your own risk.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, the Site (including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or business interruption).

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (for example, liability arising from intent or gross negligence, or under mandatory consumer protection law). Applicable law may grant you mandatory statutory rights that these Terms do not diminish; such rights remain unaffected.

9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Germany, without prejudice to the protection you enjoy as a consumer under the mandatory laws of your place of habitual residence. For any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the parties shall first attempt to resolve it amicably through negotiation; failing that, the dispute shall be handled by the court or body having jurisdiction as determined under applicable law.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time for legal, technical, or operational reasons. The revised Terms will be published on this page, and the “Last updated” date at the top will be amended accordingly. For material changes, we will provide notice by appropriate means within reason. By continuing to use the Site after changes are published, you are deemed to accept the revised Terms; if you do not agree, please stop using the Site.

11. Contact

The operator’s identity and contact details are set out in our Impressum.

12. Refunds and Right of Withdrawal

1. Scope and Operator

This withdrawal notice applies to contracts for paid digital content or services concluded between consumers and the operator. The operator’s identity and contact details are set out in our Impressum.

If you place an order as a business or for commercial purposes, the consumer right of withdrawal described on this page may not apply; the applicable law and any separate agreement shall govern.

2. General 14-Day Right of Withdrawal

As a consumer, you have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen (14) days without giving any reason.

• Start of the period: The withdrawal period begins on the day the contract is concluded (for contracts for purely digital content, generally on the day you confirm your order and the contract is formed).
• How it is calculated: If the last day of the period falls on a public holiday, a Saturday, or a Sunday, the period is extended to the next working day.
• Timeliness: To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient that you send your withdrawal notice before the withdrawal period expires.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform Shipeng Ouyang (contact details above) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g., a letter sent by post or an email). You may use the model withdrawal form below, but this is not obligatory.

3. Digital Content: Immediate Performance and Early Loss of the Right of Withdrawal

Most paid content on this site is digital content not supplied on a tangible medium (for example, immediately activated access to paid lessons). For such contracts, the law contains a special provision:

• Performance may begin before the withdrawal period expires only with your express consent; and
• You must acknowledge and confirm that once the operator begins performance, you lose your right of withdrawal for this digital content contract; and
• The operator must confirm your consent and acknowledgement to you on a durable medium (for example, a confirmation email).

Only when all three conditions above are met will the operator activate the digital content immediately within the 14-day withdrawal period, and your right of withdrawal will end when performance begins.

After your purchase, we confirm this consent and the loss of the right of withdrawal to you by email on a durable medium (§ 312f).

If you have not given the express consent described above, or the operator has not yet begun performance, your general right of withdrawal within 14 days remains unaffected.

4. How to Exercise the Right of Withdrawal

Please send your withdrawal decision in the form of an unequivocal statement to freeketchup@icloud.com or Kalker Hauptstraße 203, 51103 Köln, Germany. Your statement should include at least: your name, your order number or order date, and a clear declaration that you withdraw from this contract. You may copy and complete the model form below:

Note: When sending by email, we recommend keeping a record of the transmission as proof that you exercised your right of withdrawal within the time limit.

5. Effects of Withdrawal and Refund Process

If you validly exercise your right of withdrawal:

• Scope of refund: The operator will reimburse all payments you have made under this contract.
• Refund deadline: The operator will complete the refund within fourteen (14) days from the day it receives your withdrawal notice.
• Refund method: The refund will be made using the same means of payment you used in the original transaction; unless expressly agreed otherwise, you will not be charged any fees for the refund.
• Refund channel: If your payment was collected through a third-party payment or distribution platform Stripe, the refund may be processed by that platform under its own rules, and the time until it reaches you may be affected accordingly.

6. Exceptions to and Termination of the Right of Withdrawal

In the following cases, the right of withdrawal may not exist or may have ended early (subject to the applicable law):

• Performance of digital content has begun: You have expressly consented to immediate performance and acknowledged that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal, and the operator has begun supplying the digital content on that basis (see Section 3).
• The service has been fully performed: The operator has fully performed the service after you expressly consented and acknowledged that you would lose your right of withdrawal once performance is complete.
• Non-consumer transactions: You did not conclude the contract as a consumer, but for commercial or professional purposes.
• Other statutory exceptions: Other cases in which the right of withdrawal does not apply under the applicable law.

Even where the right of withdrawal does not apply for the reasons above, your statutory rights in the event of defective products or services (such as statutory warranty rights to remedy and refund) remain unaffected.
