6. Your Limited Licence

Purchase of a digital product grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to use the purchased material for lawful personal educational purposes only.

6.1 What the Licence Permits

Subject to the restrictions in Section 3, you may:

• Personal study and learning — read, study, and learn from the materials for your own development.
• Private notes — take your own handwritten or typed notes for your own personal use.
• Practice and application — run, adapt, and apply the code samples, formulas, queries, and exercises on your own systems for your own learning.
• Family educational sharing — share access with your immediate family members within your own household for their personal educational use, provided no third party receives a copy and no commercial purpose is served.
• Professional application — apply the skills and knowledge you gain in your own professional work. Knowledge and skill are yours to use; the files are not.

6.2 What the Licence Prohibits

The licence does not permit:

• commercial use of the materials themselves;
• resale, redistribution, or transfer of the files;
• public broadcasting, public performance, or public display of the materials;
• modification for commercial purposes;
• use in the delivery of commercial training, teaching, or consulting;
• any use described in Section 3.

6.3 Personal Educational Licence — Scope

Your licence is personal to you. It does not extend to:

• your employer, your client, your team, your students, or your organisation as an entity;
• any distribution to colleagues, classmates, or third parties;
• any use in a commercial training or service context.

Where organisational or commercial use is required, a separate written licence must be obtained from us in advance.

7. Permissions Process

If you wish to use any material in a manner not permitted by this Policy — including academic teaching, commercial training, translation, distribution, inclusion in a course, or any derivative use — you must obtain our prior written permission.

Please send your request to contact@jkdataacademy.com with:

• your name and organisation;
• the specific material you wish to use, with product titles and identifiers;
• the purpose and context of the intended use;
• the audience and scale of the intended use;
• whether the use is commercial;
• the duration and territory of the intended use.

We may grant, refuse, or condition permission at our discretion. Any permission granted is valid only if it is in writing and signed or issued by us.

8. Copyright Notice Removal

You must not remove, alter, obscure, or deface any copyright notice, ownership statement, publisher attribution, product code, watermark, or proprietary legend appearing in or on the materials.

9. Circumvention

You must not circumvent, disable, or attempt to defeat any technical protection, access control, watermarking, or copy-protection measure applied to the materials, nor assist any other person in doing so.

10. Free Snippets — Copyright Treatment

Free snippet packages supplied with eligible products are provided as a free benefit. They are delivered as a ZIP archive containing Markdown (`.md`) files, sent to the purchaser by email. The Markdown format is used so that purchasers can conveniently copy and use the snippets directly.

For the avoidance of doubt:

• snippets are not a separate paid product, and no separate copyright regime applies to them;
• snippets form part of the materials and are protected under this Policy in exactly the same way as our other content;
• all restrictions in Section 3 apply to snippet files, including the prohibitions on resale, redistribution, white-labelling, and AI/LLM training use;
• eligibility for snippets is determined by the applicability of the product to coding content, as described in Section 11.

11. Free Snippets — Applicability to Coding Books Only

Free snippets are provided only with applicable coding books.

• Coding book → eligible free snippets. Where a book covers programming, scripting, code, queries, configuration, or comparable coding content, an applicable snippet package may be supplied.
• Non-coding book → no snippets unless specifically applicable. Books that are not coding books do not carry an automatic snippet entitlement.
• No automatic entitlement. Snippets are not provided automatically with every book.

Formula-based, function-based, theoretical, conceptual, or non-coding books do not automatically receive snippets merely because they contain formulas, functions, or theory.

Where a snippet package is supplied, it is limited to the snippets applicable to that specific product. All snippets remain our copyright under this Policy.

12. AI-Assisted Content Statement

Some of our content may be produced, structured, edited, illustrated, or quality-checked with the assistance of artificial intelligence tools, under human editorial direction, review, and responsibility.

We confirm that:

• AI tools are used as production aids, not as authors;
• all published content is reviewed and curated by us before release;
• we take responsibility for the accuracy, quality, and originality of the content we publish;
• our use of AI tools does not diminish our intellectual property rights in the resulting works;
• the resulting materials remain our copyright, as described in Section 1.

This statement does not grant you any right to use the materials for AI or machine learning purposes. Section 3.6 continues to apply.

13. Remedies

Unauthorised use of the materials is a violation of our intellectual property rights and may constitute:

• copyright infringement under the Copyright Act, 1957;
• breach of contract under the licence granted to you;
• breach of the Website's Terms & Conditions;
• an infringement of moral rights and other applicable rights.

We reserve the right to pursue all available civil remedies, including injunctive relief, damages, accounts of profits, and costs.

We further reserve the right to pursue criminal remedies where the conduct constitutes an offence under applicable law.

We may also refer matters to the relevant authorities, hosting providers, payment processors, and content platforms, and may publish information about substantiated infringement where lawful.

14. Licence Revocation

We may suspend or revoke your licence, and terminate your access, if you:

• breach any provision of this Policy;
• breach the Website's Terms & Conditions;
• infringe our intellectual property rights;
• use the materials in a manner that harms our legitimate interests or those of other customers.

Revocation does not affect any other right or remedy available to us, and does not entitle you to a refund.

15. Technical Safety Warning

You must exercise your own judgment and caution before running, executing, or applying any such command, script, or instruction on any system.

In particular:

• be aware that some operations can irreversibly modify, delete, or corrupt data;

• verifying that any technique or instruction is appropriate for your own environment, platform, version, and requirements.

We are not responsible for data loss, system damage, service interruption, or any other loss arising from your actions in applying the materials.
