Terms of Service

1. Who we are

A-tech Learning is run by Ramon Makinde in Texas, USA (“we”, “us”). We teach live online coding classes on weekends. These terms apply when you use atechlearnin.com or join our classes. By creating an account you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy.

2. Accounts and ages

• 18 and over: you can create your own account.
• 13 to 17: you can create your own account if your parent or guardian agrees to these terms too. They are responsible for payments.
• Under 13: our classes aren’t for children under 13, and they may not create an account. If we learn that an account belongs to a child under 13, we’ll close it, delete their information and refund the current month.

Keep your password private. You’re responsible for what happens in your account. Tell us straight away if you think someone else is using it. Give us true information and keep your email up to date so you get class links and reminders.

3. Your plan and payments

• The monthly plan costs $100 per month (US dollars) and includes up to 8 live classes in each monthly period.
• Payments are handled securely by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
• Your plan renews automatically each month on the same date, and your card is charged until you cancel.
• Discount codes apply only as described when you use them and can’t be exchanged for cash.
• If a payment fails, you can’t join new classes until you update your card. We may cancel the plan if it stays unpaid.
• We may change the price. We’ll email you at least 30 days before a new price applies to you, and you can cancel before it does.

4. Starting later

You can pay today to reserve a place on a future start date. Your first month runs from that start date, and your plan then renews one month later. The first month is non-refundable once paid, even if you cancel before the start date.

5. Cancelling and refunds

• You can cancel any time from your dashboard (“Manage payment or cancel”). Cancelling stops the next charge. You keep access and your booked classes until the end of the month you already paid for.
• We don’t give refunds for partial months or unused classes. Unused classes don’t carry over to the next month.
• If we cancel a class, we’ll reschedule it with you. If we can’t find another time within the same month, you can ask for a refund of that class’s share of the monthly fee ($12.50).
• If you were charged by mistake (for example, twice), email us and we’ll fix it.
• Nothing here limits any refund rights you have under the law.

6. Classes

• Classes are live on Zoom on Saturdays and Sundays, in US Central Time. Each class lasts 2 to 4 hours, as shown when you join it.
• Join a class at least 12 hours before it starts. You can leave a class up to 24 hours before it starts, and it goes back into your monthly total.
• Classes have limited seats and are first come, first served.
• You need a computer, a working internet connection and the free Zoom app. We can’t make up classes you miss because of your own equipment or connection. The replay is there to catch up.
• We may occasionally change a class’s teacher, time or topic. If a change doesn’t work for you, you can leave that class and join another.

7. Zoom links and recordings

• Each class has its own Zoom meeting. Your join link is personal to your account. Don’t share it or let other people join through it.
• Classes are recorded so students in that class can watch a replay. Replays are kept for about 90 days and then deleted. Students may keep their camera off and use a nickname.
• You may not record, download, copy or share classes or replays yourself.
• We may suspend an account that shares links or replays.

8. Behaviour in class

Be kind and respectful to teachers and other students. No bullying, hate speech, sexual content, spam, or sharing other people’s personal information. Don’t try to break or misuse the website or Zoom. We may remove someone from a class, or close an account, if they break these rules. If we close an account for a serious breach, we won’t refund the current month.

9. Young people’s safety

• Teachers talk with students only in class and through the website’s messages, which the admin can see. We never ask students under 18 for home addresses, phone numbers or photos.
• Parents of students under 18 are welcome to sit in on classes.
• Parents of students under 18 can ask us at any time to see or delete their teen’s information, or to close the account. See our Privacy Policy.

10. Class materials

Lessons, slides, code samples and recordings belong to A-tech Learning. You can use them for your own learning. You can’t resell or republish them. Code you write yourself in class is yours.

11. Our responsibility

We work hard to teach well, but we can’t promise any particular result, such as a job or a grade. The website and classes are provided “as is”. Sometimes things like Zoom or the internet may not work, and we’re not responsible for services we don’t control. As far as the law allows, our total responsibility to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 3 months before the claim.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change is important, we’ll email you before it applies. If you keep using the site after that, the new terms apply. If you don’t agree, you can cancel.

13. Texas law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA. If there’s a problem, please email us first. Most things can be sorted out quickly. Any dispute that can’t be resolved will be handled by the courts of Texas.
