The Services provided through ThreatModeler Academy are currently offered free of charge. ThreatModeler reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to introduce fees for certain features, courses, or to transition the platform to a subscription-based model in the future. We will provide you with reasonable advance notice of any such changes and the applicable fees, at which point you may choose to accept the new terms or discontinue your use of the Services.
- User Content: If the Services allow you to submit content, such as through assignments or exercises ("User Content"), you retain ownership of it. By submitting, you grant ThreatModeler a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, host, and review such content for the sole purpose of evaluating your progress and operating the Service. Public interaction features like forums or chat are currently disabled on the platform.
- Feedback: If you provide us with any feedback, ideas, or suggestions for improving the Services ("Feedback"), you grant ThreatModeler an unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free license to use and implement that Feedback for any purpose without any obligation to you.
- Termination by You: You may terminate your account at any time.
- Termination by Us: We may suspend or terminate your account and access to the Services, with or without notice, for any breach of these Terms, including inactivity or violation of the Code of Conduct. We have no liability for any such termination. The provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, and Dispute Resolution) will survive.
