Terms of Service

These terms apply when you use PodLabs at podlabs.dev and lab.podlabs.dev. PodLabs is operated by Mohammed Yousuf Khalfan Al-Khusaibi, Muscat, Sultanate of Oman. By using the service, you agree to these terms. Contact us at support@podlabs.dev.

The service

PodLabs provides hands-on Kubernetes and DevOps troubleshooting labs. Each lab runs in a temporary, isolated environment with a time limit and is deleted when it ends, so don't store anything in a lab that you need to keep. You can run one lab at a time.

Your account

You sign in with GitHub. Keep your GitHub account secure, because anyone who can sign in to it can use your PodLabs account. One account is for one person.

Subscriptions

Paid plans renew automatically each month or year until you cancel. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for. We'll tell you before any price change applies to your subscription. Refunds are covered by our refund policy.

Payments

Polar is our merchant of record. It processes your payment and handles sales tax, and its buyer terms also apply to your purchase. We don't receive or store your card details.

Acceptable use

Labs are for learning only. You must not:

• mine cryptocurrency or run workloads unrelated to the lab
• attack, scan or send unwanted traffic to any system
• try to break out of your lab or access other people's labs or our systems
• share your account, or resell access to the service

We may end a lab or suspend an account that breaks these rules. If you find a security problem, please report it privately to support@podlabs.dev.

Our content

We create our own labs, hints and explanations. You may use them for your own learning, but you may not copy or republish them. PodLabs isn't affiliated with The Linux Foundation or any certification body, and doesn't guarantee that you'll pass an exam or get a job.

Availability and liability

We work to keep the service running, but it's provided as is and may sometimes be unavailable. To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits rights you have under law that can't be excluded.

Changes and ending

We may update these terms. We'll post the new date here and tell you about significant changes. You can stop using the service at any time.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Sultanate of Oman.
