2. Eligibility; accounts

  1. Age. The Services are not directed to children. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services. If you are in the EEA/UK, you must meet the digital age of consent applicable in your country (often 16; in France 15). If you are under the applicable age, you may only use the Services with verifiable consent of your parent or legal guardian.
  2. Accounts. You are responsible for the information in your account, the security of your credentials, and all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

3. Services overview and third‑party platforms

We use third‑party platforms to deliver certain parts of the Services. These include, without limitation, Circle (community), Webflow (website hosting/CMS), Stripe (payments), a course delivery platform, Beehiiv (newsletters), Zapier (automations), Google Analytics (analytics), and Google Workspace (productivity). Your use of those platforms may be subject to their own terms and policies.

4. The AI Friends community (Circle)

  1. User‑generated content (UGC). You may post content (text, images, code, links, etc.). You retain your rights to your UGC. By posting UGC, you grant Cohorte a worldwide, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free license to host, store, reproduce, publish, display, and distribute your UGC in connection with operating, improving, moderating, and promoting the community and the Services.
  2. Rules of conduct. You agree not to:
    • post illegal, infringing, deceptive, defamatory, hateful, harassing, or otherwise harmful content;
    • share others’ personal data without a lawful basis and permission;
    • upload malware or attempt to gain unauthorized access;
    • impersonate others or misrepresent your affiliation;
    • use the community for spam, scams, or multi‑level marketing; or
    • share or redistribute paid course materials.
  3. Moderation. We may, at our sole discretion, remove content or suspend/terminate accounts for violations of these Terms or our community guidelines. We may preserve information as required by law or to protect our rights.
  4. Reporting. To report content or behavior that may violate these Terms, please email hello@cohorte.co.

5. Bootcamps (paid programs)

  1. Enrollment and access. Enrollment is confirmed upon payment via our checkout (powered by Stripe or another approved processor). After enrollment, participants receive access instructions for the cohort platform and materials.
  2. License to course materials. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Bootcamp materials (videos, slides, assignments, templates, code, and other content) are licensed to you for your personal, non‑commercial use only. You may not copy, share, resell, or publicly distribute course materials without our written permission.
  3. Cohort participation. Cohorts are live and interactive. We may record live sessions for participants’ later viewing and quality assurance. By attending, you consent to being recorded. If you prefer to remain off recording, please switch off your camera and microphone and use the chat.
  4. Refunds: 14‑day money‑back guarantee. If you are not satisfied, you may cancel and request a full refund within 14 days of purchase or within 7 days after the official cohort start date (whichever is later). To request a refund, email hello@cohorte.co with your order details. Refunds are returned to the original payment method. This guarantee does not limit any mandatory consumer rights you may have under applicable law.
  5. Transfers and substitutions. Subject to availability, you may request a one‑time transfer to a later cohort up to 48 hours before your second live session. Company‑sponsored participants may be substituted at the sponsor’s request before the second live session.
  6. No outcome guarantees. We provide education and guidance, but do not guarantee any specific results, grades, certifications, job outcomes, or business performance.

6. Agency Services (B2B)

Agency Services—including consulting, custom AI development, and enterprise training—are provided under separate written agreements (e.g., MSA/SOW). If these Terms conflict with those agreements, the latter govern for the Agency Services.

7. Pricing; payments; taxes

  1. Pricing and changes. Prices are shown before purchase and may change from time to time. Price changes will not affect completed purchases.
  2. Payments. Payments are processed by third‑party providers (e.g., Stripe). We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers. You authorize us and our payment provider to charge your payment method for purchases, subscriptions, taxes, and applicable fees.
  3. Taxes. Prices may be exclusive of taxes (VAT/GST/sales taxes). You are responsible for applicable taxes unless we state otherwise.
  4. Chargebacks. If you dispute a charge without first contacting us, we may suspend access to the Services and/or pursue the amounts due.

8. Intellectual property; feedback

  1. Our content. The Services and all content we create or provide (articles, playbooks, videos, curricula, software, designs, trademarks, and logos) are owned by Cohorte or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted, you may not copy, modify, create derivative works, distribute, or exploit our content.
  2. Feedback. If you provide ideas or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty‑free license to use them without any obligation to you.

9. Acceptable use for AI tools and code

Where we provide sample code, prompts, or access to AI‑powered tools or APIs:

  • you are responsible for verifying outputs and using human oversight;
  • you must not use outputs to violate others’ rights or applicable law;
  • you must implement appropriate security and compliance controls before deploying in production.

10. Privacy

Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy (below). Please read it carefully to understand how we collect, use, and share personal data.

11. Disclaimers

The Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non‑infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted or error‑free, or that defects will be corrected.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cohorte and its affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (a) your use of or inability to use the Services; (b) any conduct or content of any third party on the Services; (c) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your content; or (d) other matters relating to the Services. Our aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of (i) the amounts you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim or (ii) €100.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law (e.g., for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud).

13. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Cohorte and its affiliates, officers, agents, and employees from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your violation of these Terms or misuse of the Services.

14. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services (including AI Friends) if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, pose a risk to others, or create legal exposure for us. You may stop using the Services at any time. Certain provisions survive termination, including Sections 8, 11–16.

15. Changes to the Services and Terms

We may update the Services and these Terms from time to time. We will post changes on our website and update the “Last updated” date above. If changes are material, we will take additional steps to notify users as required by law. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

16. Governing law; venue; consumer rights

These Terms are governed by the laws of France, without regard to conflict‑of‑laws rules. Courts of Paris, France shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except that mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence may grant you additional rights and forums, which are not limited by this clause.
