Terms of Service

Last updated: March 1, 2025  ·  Effective: March 1, 2025

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully before using Blockling Academy (“Blockling,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using Blockling Academy (the “Service”), you confirm that:

  • You are at least 13 years old, or you are a parent or guardian providing consent for a child under 13.
  • You have read and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

  • You must provide accurate and complete information when creating your account.
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.
  • You must notify us immediately at support@blockling.io if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
  • One account per person. You may not share, sell, or transfer your account.
  • Child accounts must be created by a parent or guardian who provides verifiable consent in accordance with COPPA.
  • We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

3. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations.
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the Service.
  • Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the Service without written permission.

  • Use automated tools (bots, scripts) to create accounts, complete lessons, or earn XP artificially.
  • Harass, threaten, or harm other users of the Service.

4. Subscriptions and Payments

  • Blockling offers both a free tier and premium subscription plans (“Blockling Pro”).
  • Subscription fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis.
  • All payments are processed through Apple App Store or Google Play Store. We do not store your payment card information.
  • Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
  • Refunds are subject to the refund policies of the applicable app store.
  • We reserve the right to change subscription pricing with at least 30 days' notice to existing subscribers.
  • You can manage and cancel subscriptions through your device's app store settings.

5. NFT Course Completion Certificates

  • Upon completing eligible courses, users may claim an NFT certificate issued on the Solana blockchain.
  • NFT certificates are non-transferable proof-of-completion tokens and have no guaranteed monetary value.
  • Minting an NFT certificate requires a Solana wallet. You are responsible for securing your wallet and private keys.
  • Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Once an NFT is minted, it cannot be revoked or deleted.
  • We do not guarantee the availability, compatibility, or future support of any Solana wallet or marketplace.
  • NFT metadata stored on-chain is public and permanent. Do not use sensitive personal information in display names if you plan to mint certificates.
  • We are not responsible for losses caused by wallet errors, network failures, or user error during minting.

6. Intellectual Property

  • All content in the Service — including lesson text, code examples, graphics, logos, and UI — is owned by Blockling or its licensors and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
  • You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for personal, educational purposes.
  • You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without express written permission.

7. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BLOCKLING DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

  • Warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
  • Guarantees that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
  • Accuracy or completeness of educational content.
  • Outcomes or results from using the Service (e.g., employment, skill certification).

Blockling Academy teaches educational content about blockchain technology and programming. Nothing in the Service constitutes financial, investment, or legal advice.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BLOCKLING SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

9. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. You waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in class action proceedings.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice, if we determine you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property rights, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will survive.

11. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes via email or an in-app notice at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
