Legal

Terms of use

Last updated 5 October 2026.

PyPath is a free Python course. These terms are the agreement between you and PyPath when you use the site or create an account. They are written to be read, not to be skimmed past — if something here is not acceptable to you, please do not create an account.

Who operates PyPath

PyPath is operated by Adam Issac, Saicharan Chowdarapu, and Vihaan Krishna as individuals based in Atlanta, Georgia, United States.

For privacy questions and requests concerning your data, contact Adam Issac at adamissac08@gmail.com. The other operators can be reached at sai.chowdarapu09@gmail.com (Saicharan Chowdarapu) and vvihaankrishna@gmail.com (Vihaan Krishna).

Who may sign up

Regular self-service accounts are available only to people aged 13 or older. Under-13 account creation is not yet available; a school-code check alone does not authorize enrollment. If you are below the age at which you can agree to these terms or authorize the relevant data processing where you live, involve your parent or guardian. We are preparing a separately verified school authorization route for children under 13. Until it is available, parents, guardians, teachers, and schools must not create regular accounts for children under 13. A classroom join code or a self-selected teacher role is not proof of school authorization. PyPath retains its own privacy and security responsibilities; using a teacher code does not transfer those obligations to the teacher. One person, one account: do not share your password or let someone else use your account.

Your account

You are responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping your password to yourself. Tell us straight away if you think someone else has access to it. Your account name is separate from your classroom alias. Teachers see your chosen classroom alias. Do not impersonate someone else or use an offensive alias.

You can request account deletion privately using the contact address below. There is currently no self-service account deletion button. See the privacy policy for the scope and limitations of deletion, including teacher downloads and provider records.

What you may do with the course

Learn from it, freely. Work through the lessons, run the exercises, copy the example code into your own projects, and keep whatever you build. The Python you write in the lessons stays yours.

Applicable open-source and third-party licenses govern reuse of materials distributed under them, including the MIT license supplied with the PyPath repository. These terms do not take away rights granted by those licenses. Do not falsely claim authorship or imply endorsement by PyPath. Linking to the course is welcome.

What you may not do

• Break into, overload, or probe the site or anyone else's account.
• Scrape the course in bulk or automate account creation.
• Use the Sandbox or lesson editors to attack anything, mine cryptocurrency, or run anything unlawful.
• Upload or save content that is illegal, hateful, or harassing.

We may suspend or remove an account that does any of this.

Your progress and your certificate

Progress is recorded as you complete lessons and units, and the end-of-course certificate is issued once all ten units are complete. If you are in a class, your finished work goes to your teacher first and the certificate is issued when they approve it; a teacher who has not approved it yet can still do so later. If you are not in a class, it is issued as soon as you finish. The certificate records that you finished this course. It is not an accredited qualification, it is not issued by an examining body, and it does not certify professional competence.

We do our best to keep your progress safe, but please treat the site as a learning tool rather than a system of record. Export or print anything you need to keep.

How long you spend here

While you are signed in, PyPath records how long you actively spend on the site, so we can see how the course is being used and where learners get stuck. Time counts only while the page is open in front of you and you have interacted with it recently. PyPath staff can see this alongside your progress. The privacy policy explains it in full.

Classes

A teacher account gets a join code and a dashboard showing the learners who entered it. If you use one, you are responsible for who you give the code to, and for having whatever permission you need to see your learners' progress — including your school's authorization and any required agreement or consent. Creating a teacher account does not by itself establish school authorization or verified parental consent, and these terms do not transfer PyPath's own legal obligations to teachers. Issue a new code if the old one spreads beyond your class.

If you join a class, its teachers can see your classroom alias, progress, lesson activity, exercise code and saved code history, reflection answers, scores, and certificate requests, as described in the privacy policy. Classroom records do not include your account name or email address. Teachers can export reports; leaving a class does not recall copies already downloaded. They also decide whether your certificate is issued once you finish all ten units. You can leave a class at any time from your account page, from the account menu in the top right of any page.

Do not enter a join code for a class you are not part of.

Free, and provided as-is

PyPath costs nothing and is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. We do not promise the site will always be available, free of bugs, or free of errors in the lesson content. To the fullest extent the law allows, PyPath is not liable for any loss arising from your use of the site. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Your code runs inside your own browser through Pyodide. Nothing you write in a lesson or the Sandbox is executed on our servers.

Third parties

Accounts, storage, and hosting run on Google Firebase and Vercel, and lessons load Pyodide from a public CDN. Signing in with Google or GitHub means their terms apply to that sign-in as well.

Changes

These terms may change as the course grows. The date at the top always shows the current version, and a material change will be announced on the site. Continuing to use PyPath after a change means you accept the updated terms.
