• Protect Privacy: Students must not share personal identifying information (such as home addresses, phone numbers, or full names) on public project boards or forums.
• Academic Integrity: Students are encouraged to share code and collaborate, but they must not pass off someone else's complete project as their own without giving credit.

Violation of this Code of Conduct may result in immediate suspension or termination of the student's access to the Services without a refund.

If you enroll in a paid mentorship program, bootcamp, or premium course:

• Payments: All fees are stated upfront and must be paid prior to the commencement of the cohort or class.
