Terms of Service

About this service

Rikudemy is a learning platform with self-paced classes for purchase and LMS classes for lecturers and instructors. Rikudemy is operated independently by its developer and is not yet a registered legal entity. By using Rikudemy, you agree to these terms of service.

Rikudemy is still in early development

Rikudemy's features, appearance, and behavior may change at any time without prior notice. Your data, including your account and learning progress, may be lost, for example when our application server restarts (see our Privacy Policy for a fuller explanation). Do not rely on Rikudemy to store anything important to you during this stage.

Your account

You are responsible for keeping your account password confidential and for all activity that happens through your account.

You can sign in with a password or with a Google account. If you sign in with Google using the same email address as an existing Rikudemy account, we link that sign-in to the existing account instead of creating a new one.

Acceptable use

While using Rikudemy, you agree not to:

• Upload or share content that is illegal or infringes on someone else's rights
• Harass, intimidate, or harm other users
• Attempt to break Rikudemy's security or access someone else's account without permission
• Abuse the service through automated means, such as scraping or spam, in a way that burdens or damages it

Instructor responsibility for material

Instructors are fully responsible for the material they upload to Rikudemy, including making sure it is lawful to use and does not infringe copyright or anyone else's rights. Rikudemy does not review every piece of material before it is published and is not responsible for material created by instructors.

We may remove material or deactivate an account that violates these terms of service or applicable law.

Class videos from YouTube

Videos in a class are streamed through YouTube. Watching these videos is also subject to YouTube's own terms of service, and video availability depends on YouTube, not on Rikudemy.

No payment yet

Rikudemy does not yet process any kind of payment. During this development stage, all access to Rikudemy is free. We will update these terms of service if that changes in the future.

Account termination

We may deactivate an account that violates these terms of service. You may also stop using Rikudemy at any time and ask for your account to be deleted by contacting us by email.

Limitation of liability

Because Rikudemy is an early-stage project run by a single developer and is not yet a registered legal entity, the service is provided as is, without any guarantee of availability, the accuracy of third-party material, or being free of disruption.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms of service from time to time while Rikudemy continues to be developed. The date at the top of this page shows when the terms of service were last updated.
