Terms & Conditions

These terms govern your use of CourseIQ (the "Service"), operated by Course IQ ("we", "us"). When you use the Service or buy a plan, you are contracting with Course IQ. By continuing to use the Service you agree to these terms.

The Service

CourseIQ publishes independent audits and buyer reviews of online courses and coaching, and sells optional paid plans: sponsored listings and a verified seller badge for course sellers, and CourseIQ Premium for buyers. See Pricing. Paying for a plan never changes a program's score, verdict or ranking.

Eligibility and accounts

You must be of legal age in your country, or have authority to bind the organisation you act for. Keep your login details confidential and your information accurate — you are responsible for activity under your account.

Acceptable use

• No unlawful use, fraud, spam, or fake or paid-for reviews.
• No infringing anyone's intellectual property or privacy.
• No malware, probing, scraping, or interfering with the Service's security.
• No reverse engineering, reselling the Service, or bypassing technical limits.

Your content

You keep ownership of reviews and posts you submit, and grant us a limited licence to host, moderate and display them to run the Service. We may remove content that breaks these terms.

Intellectual property

Course IQ owns the Service, its software, audits, documentation and branding. You get a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use it within your plan.

Payments and subscriptions

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns. Payment, billing, tax, renewal, cancellation and refund terms are set out in Paddle's Buyer Terms. Plans renew monthly until cancelled; see our Refund Policy.

No guarantee; not advice

The Service is provided "as is". We don't guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and to the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim implied warranties. Audits are informed opinions based on cited evidence, not financial or professional advice — your buying decisions are your own.

Liability

We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses (such as lost profits or data). Our total liability is limited to the fees you paid us in the previous 12 months. Nothing limits liability for fraud, death or personal injury where the law does not allow it.

Suspension and termination

We may suspend or end your access for material breach of these terms, non-payment, security or fraud risk, or repeated or serious policy violations. When access ends, you may request export or deletion of your data.

General

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state where Course IQ is based. We aren't responsible for delays caused by events beyond our reasonable control. You may not transfer these terms without our consent. Questions: contact us through the site.
