Init1Security
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.
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).
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.

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.
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.
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.
Course prices are shown at checkout in United States Dollars (USD). Payments are handled by our checkout partner, Lemon Squeezy, who acts as Merchant of Record and takes care of any sales tax, VAT, or GST that applies where you live. Anything you see labelled as tax at checkout is collected and remitted by Lemon Squeezy, not by us.
We want you to feel good about your purchase. If the course turns out not to be right for you, we offer a straightforward 14-day money-back promise. If you haven't really dug into the material yet, tell us within 14 days of buying and we'll refund you, no drawn-out justification required.
"Haven't really dug in yet" is what makes this workable for a small independent training provider. Concretely, the promise applies if none of the following has happened by the time you ask:
Once any of those things has happened, or once the 14 days have passed, the purchase is final. We apply the same 14-day promise to everyone, regardless of country. If you're a consumer resident in the United Kingdom, the European Union, or another jurisdiction that provides a statutory "cooling-off" period, this Section 5.1 is how we honour that right.
Once your payment is approved by our checkout partner, access to the Content is provisioned to your account automatically, without further action on your part. You expressly request that we make the Content available immediately upon payment approval, and you acknowledge and agree that:
Life happens. If something went genuinely wrong on our end, if a lab was broken and we couldn't fix it in time, if there's a real reason your situation is exceptional, reach out. We look at these case by case and, where it's the right thing to do, we'll issue a refund even outside the 14 days. This is a goodwill judgement call, not a promise, and each one is decided on its own merits.
Send a note from your profile page, or email support@init1security.com from the address on the purchasing account, within the 14-day window. Once we approve it, Lemon Squeezy sends the money back to your original payment method, and it usually shows up within 5 to 10 business days.
Because Lemon Squeezy is the Merchant of Record for your purchase, they keep an independent right to issue a refund on their own, in order to prevent a chargeback or to meet card-network or consumer-protection rules that apply to them. If they do, it's their call, and not a change to this Section 5.
If you're buying access for a team or a whole company, we handle that separately, in a written agreement with your organisation. Section 5 doesn't apply to those purchases.
If something's not right, tell us first. Filing a chargeback with your card issuer without at least asking for a refund under this Section 5 is treated as a breach of these Terms, and we may pause or close your account and Content licence under Section 6 when the chargeback notice comes in. Lemon Squeezy still handles the chargeback on the card side as Merchant of Record.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
