These terms govern your use of the Simple Training Center platform.

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Backup Solutions, Inc., a Florida corporation doing business as Simple Training Center ("STC," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of simpletrainingcenter.com, the STC learning platform, and related services (together, the "Services").

By creating an account, purchasing a subscription, accepting an invitation to a course, or otherwise using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

If you accept these Terms on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" means that organization.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information and is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If we have signed a separate written agreement, order form, or Data Processing Addendum with your organization, that agreement controls where it conflicts with these Terms.

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. The Services are professional training tools intended for workplace use and are not directed to children.

You agree to provide accurate account information and keep it current. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for keeping your password confidential. Do not share your login credentials. Tell us promptly at security@simpletrainingcenter.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

We may refuse to open, or may close, any account at our discretion where we reasonably believe it is being used in breach of these Terms.

Where an organization purchases Seats for its people, that organization is our Customer and controls the account. Its Administrators can enroll and remove Learners, assign courses, set due dates, view completion status and assessment results, download certificates, and export training records.

The Customer is responsible for its Administrators' and Learners' compliance with these Terms, for the accuracy of roster data it provides, and for having the right to give us the personal information of the people it enrolls, including any notices or consents required in the Learner's jurisdiction.

Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services and STC Content for internal training purposes during your Subscription Term.

Prices are shown at checkout and in any order form. All fees are stated in U.S. dollars and are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for applicable sales, use, VAT, and similar taxes, other than taxes on our income.

Subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated in a written agreement with us. If you cancel mid-term, you keep access for the remainder of the term you paid for, and no partial refund is issued.

The full refund policy, including when we do issue a refund and how to request one, is set out in Section 5 of our Subscription & Cancellation Policy. The disclosure shown next to the payment button at checkout records the amount, billing frequency, and next charge date for the specific purchase.

If you believe you were charged in error, contact support@simpletrainingcenter.com within 30 days of the charge and we will review it in good faith.

You agree not to:

• Share, sell, sublicense, rent, or otherwise transfer access to the Services or STC Content to anyone outside your organization
• Download, record, screen-capture, scrape, or otherwise copy STC Content except where we provide an explicit download option
• Republish, redistribute, or incorporate STC Content into your own training materials or products
• Use STC Content to build, train, or fine-tune a machine learning model, or to create a competing training product
• Complete assessments on behalf of another person, or arrange for someone else to complete yours
• Falsify, alter, or forge a certificate or training record
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the Services
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Services, or circumvent any access control, without our prior written consent
• Interfere with the Services, introduce malicious code, or place unreasonable load on our infrastructure
• Use the Services to violate any law, infringe anyone's rights, or transmit unlawful, harassing, or infringing material
• Misrepresent your identity or your affiliation with any person or organization

Our courses teach security concepts, including how attacks work. That instruction is for defensive purposes. Using anything you learn from STC Content to attack, exploit, or gain unauthorized access to any system is a breach of these Terms and may be a crime.

The Services and all STC Content are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license in Section 5, we grant you no rights in the Services or STC Content, and we reserve all rights not expressly granted.

"Simple Training Center," our logos, and our product names are our trademarks. You may not use them without our prior written permission, except to accurately identify STC as your training provider.

Your license ends when your Subscription Term ends. You must stop using STC Content at that point and delete any copies we permitted you to make.

As between you and us, you own your Customer Data. You grant us a non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, display, and back up Customer Data as needed to provide the Services, support you, and comply with law.

We handle personal information as described in our Privacy Policy. Where we process personal information on your organization's behalf, we do so as its processor under our agreement and any applicable Data Processing Addendum.

You are responsible for the lawfulness of the Customer Data you submit, including having any rights, notices, or consents required to give us personal information about your Learners.

You can export your training records at any time while your account is active. See Section 21 for what happens after termination.

We may generate and use aggregated or de-identified data derived from use of the Services to operate, improve, and market the Services. This data cannot reasonably be used to identify you or any Learner.

If you send us suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the Services, we may use them without restriction or obligation to you. You are not required to send us feedback.

When a Learner completes a course, we issue a certificate recording that completion. A certificate is a record that a specific person completed a specific course on a specific date through our platform.

A certificate is not an accreditation, licence, professional credential, or third-party validation of competence. Unless we state otherwise on the course page, our courses are not accredited by, endorsed by, or affiliated with any certifying body, regulator, or government agency, and completion does not confer continuing education credit.

You are responsible for determining whether our training meets any requirement that applies to you and for retaining your own copies of training records you need. We keep records as described in our Privacy Policy, but you should not rely on us as your only recordkeeping system.

Using the Services does not guarantee that you will pass an audit or examination, satisfy any legal, regulatory, contractual, or insurance requirement, qualify for or maintain any insurance coverage or premium, prevent a security incident, phishing attack, breach, or data loss, or avoid liability arising from any of the above.

STC Content is general educational material. It is not legal, compliance, financial, or professional advice, and it is not tailored to your organization, industry, jurisdiction, or circumstances. Laws, regulations, and threats change, and content that was accurate when produced may become outdated.

You are solely responsible for determining what your obligations are, whether our training helps meet them, and what other measures your organization needs. Consult qualified legal, compliance, or security professionals for advice specific to your situation.

We provide support by email at support@simpletrainingcenter.com during normal business hours. We aim to respond promptly but do not commit to a specific response time unless we've agreed one in writing.

We work to keep the Services available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Services may be unavailable during maintenance, or because of factors outside our control. Unless a written agreement with you says otherwise, the Services are provided without a service level commitment or uptime guarantee.

We may modify, add, or discontinue features. If we discontinue a material feature you rely on during a paid term, contact us and we will work with you in good faith.

The Services may link to or integrate with third-party products, including payment processors, single sign-on providers, and video delivery services. Those products are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party products, and enabling an integration means you authorize us to exchange data with it as needed to make it work.

Each party may receive non-public information from the other that is marked confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential. The receiving party will use that information only to perform under these Terms, protect it with at least reasonable care, and not disclose it except to people who need it and are bound by similar obligations.

This doesn't apply to information that is public through no fault of the receiving party, was already known to it, is independently developed, or is rightfully received from a third party. Either party may disclose confidential information where legally required, giving the other reasonable notice where permitted.

We may operate referral, reseller, and partner programs. Participation is governed by a separate written agreement. Nothing in these Terms makes you our agent, franchisee, or partner, and you may not represent yourself as authorized to bind us or make commitments on our behalf.

Where a partner or reseller purchases Seats for you, your relationship with that partner is governed by your agreement with them. These Terms still govern your use of the Services.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you. In that case, any implied warranty is limited to the shortest period permitted by law.

These limitations do not apply to your payment obligations, to either party's indemnification obligations, or to liability that cannot be limited under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

You acknowledge that the fees for the Services reflect this allocation of risk, and that we would not provide the Services on these prices without it.

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless STC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from third-party claims, damages, losses, and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising out of: your Customer Data; your use of the Services in breach of these Terms or applicable law; your failure to obtain any notice or consent required to enroll a Learner; or a Learner's or Administrator's breach of these Terms.

We will defend, indemnify, and hold you harmless from third-party claims alleging that STC Content, used as permitted by these Terms, infringes that third party's copyright or U.S. trademark rights. This does not apply to claims arising from your modification or unauthorized use of STC Content, or from your combination of it with other materials.

The indemnified party will promptly notify the other of the claim, give reasonable cooperation, and allow the indemnifying party to control the defense. No settlement that imposes obligations on the indemnified party may be made without its consent.

You may cancel your subscription at any time in your account settings, effective at the end of your current Subscription Term.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, if your account is past due, if we're required to by law, or if your use poses a security risk to the Services or other customers. Except for urgent security or legal situations, we will give you notice and a reasonable chance to fix the problem first.

We may update these Terms as the Services and the law change. When we do, we revise the "Last updated" date and version number above. For material changes, we will give at least 30 days' notice by email to account administrators or by an in-product notice before the change takes effect.

Continuing to use the Services after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms. If you don't accept them, cancel your subscription before they take effect. Prior versions are available on request.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any order form or written agreement between us are the entire agreement about the Services and supersede prior discussions. Terms in your purchase order or vendor form do not apply unless we sign them.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent, except to a successor in a merger or sale of substantially all your assets. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, internet or utility failures, and government action. Payment obligations are not excused.

Notices. We may send notices to your account email or through the Services. Send legal notices to us at the address in Section 25, with a copy to legal@simpletrainingcenter.com. Notice is effective on receipt.

Severability and waiver. If a provision is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent needed, or severed, and the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

Independent contractors. The parties are independent contractors. These Terms create no partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship.

No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create rights for anyone who is not a party to them.

Export and sanctions. You represent that you are not located in, or a resident of, a country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and that you are not on any U.S. restricted-party list. You will comply with applicable export control and sanctions laws.

U.S. government users. The Services are commercial computer software. Government use is subject to these Terms consistent with FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202.

Language. These Terms are written in English. Any translation is for convenience, and the English version controls.
