Terms of Service

Effective 2026-07-21

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Init1Security training platform at training.init1security.com (the "Service"). The Service is operated by Init1Security LLC ("we", "us", "our"), a California limited liability company. By registering, purchasing a course, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. Your Account

You must be at least 18 years old and provide accurate registration information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity on your account. You may not share your account with any other person. We may terminate accounts that show signs of sharing (such as concurrent sign-in from unrelated locations).

2. Content License

All course materials on the Service, including lesson text, videos, downloadable scripts, lab configurations, code samples, and diagrams (collectively, "Content"), are the intellectual property of Init1Security LLC. When you purchase a course, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access the Content solely for your own non-commercial learning while your account is in good standing.

The Content is licensed, not sold. Your license is per-person and per-account. Each account carries a unique license ID (visible in your profile) that is embedded in every lesson you view.

You may:

  • Read, watch, and study the Content on any device you personally use.
  • Take personal notes and reference the Content while performing your own work.
  • Use the tradecraft you learn in legitimate authorized security engagements.

You may not:

  • Reproduce, distribute, publish, upload, or share the Content, in whole or in part, with anyone else, whether for money or free.
  • Post the Content to any file-sharing service, code repository, paste site, torrent, forum, social media, chat channel, or any other public or semi-public location.
  • Use the Content, or any material derived from it, to build a competing training product or offering.
  • Remove, alter, or attempt to obscure any watermark, license ID, or attribution embedded in the Content (visible or hidden).
  • Use automated tools (crawlers, scrapers, headless browsers, download managers) to bulk-download or systematically extract the Content.
  • Share your account credentials with any other person, or use another person's credentials.

Each act of unauthorized redistribution is both a breach of these Terms and copyright infringement. We watermark every lesson delivery with the recipient's account identifier so that the source of any leak can be established.

3. Acceptable Use

The Service is training material for authorized offensive-security work. You agree to use anything you learn only on systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test. You agree not to use the Service to plan, prepare, or execute any unauthorized intrusion into computer systems, networks, accounts, or data. Any use of the Service to facilitate illegal activity is a material breach of these Terms and grounds for immediate termination and referral to law enforcement.

4. Practice Labs

Practice labs deploy to your own cloud account using credentials you provide. You are solely responsible for the cost of any infrastructure deployed and for tearing labs down. We are not responsible for cloud provider charges you incur. You agree not to run any workload against a target that is not part of the lab you deployed.

5. Payment and Refunds

Course prices are shown at checkout. Purchases are processed by Stripe.

Refunds are available only within the first forty-eight (48) hours of purchase AND only if the buyer has not begun consuming the Content. "Consumption" means any of the following:

  • Deploying any practice lab
  • Opening more than three (3) lessons
  • Downloading any course file (scripts, PDFs, or other materials)

If any of these conditions has occurred, the purchase is final. After 48 hours from the time of purchase, all purchases are final regardless of consumption. Refunds outside this window are at our sole discretion, granted only for technical failures we cannot resolve. Enterprise and bulk-license purchases are governed by a separate agreement and are not subject to this window.

Refund requests must be submitted through your profile page or by emailing support@init1security.com within the 48-hour window. Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method within 5 to 10 business days.

6. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account and your content license immediately, without refund, if we determine that you have breached these Terms, including but not limited to: sharing your account, redistributing Content, tampering with watermarks, or using the Service to facilitate illegal activity. You may terminate your own account at any time by contacting us.

7. Disclaimer

The Service and Content are provided "as is" and "as available", without any warranty of any kind. We do not warrant that the Content is fit for any particular purpose, that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that the labs will always be available. Nothing in the training is legal advice; the responsibility for staying within the law rests with you.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages.

9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Service will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to that jurisdiction.

10. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced on the Service or by email to the address on your account. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
