Terms of Use

Last Updated: March 15, 2025

Welcome to Xaphek Dhrenval. By accessing our website and educational materials, you're agreeing to these terms. We've tried to keep things straightforward, but legal stuff needs to be thorough. Take a few minutes to read through this – it explains what you can expect from us and what we need from you.

Acceptance of Terms

These terms form a binding agreement between you and Xaphek Dhrenval, operating from Francisciho 20, 058 01 Poprad, Slovakia. When you use our site, access our educational content, or interact with our services, you're confirming that you understand and accept these terms.

If something here doesn't work for you, that's completely fine – but it means you shouldn't use our services. We update these terms occasionally as our offerings evolve, so checking back now and then makes sense.

Educational Services

Our platform focuses on lighting and texture design in 3D games. The courses, tutorials, and resources we provide are educational tools designed to help you develop specific technical skills.

We don't guarantee employment outcomes, specific income levels, or career advancement. Your success depends on your effort, existing skills, market conditions, and how you apply what you learn.

Course content reflects industry practices as of the creation date. Game development technology moves quickly, and while we update materials regularly, some specifics might evolve faster than our content schedule allows.

User Accounts and Registration

Some parts of our site require an account. When you register, you're responsible for keeping your login information secure. Don't share credentials with others or let anyone access your account.

  • Provide accurate information during registration
  • Keep your password confidential and use a strong one
  • Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access
  • Accept responsibility for all activity under your account
  • Maintain only one account unless explicitly authorized otherwise

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, engage in disruptive behavior, or attempt to circumvent our access controls.


Intellectual Property Rights

Everything on this site – course materials, videos, articles, images, code examples, design elements – belongs to Xaphek Dhrenval or our content licensors. This is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

What You Can Do

When you enroll in a course or access our materials, you get a personal, non-transferable license to use that content for learning. You can watch videos, read materials, and practice techniques for your own skill development.

What You Can't Do

  • Redistribute, resell, or share course materials with others
  • Copy or reproduce content for commercial purposes
  • Remove copyright notices or watermarks from materials
  • Create derivative works based on our content without permission
  • Use automated tools to scrape or download bulk content
  • Upload our materials to file-sharing or torrent sites

If you create work based on techniques you learned here, that work is yours. But the instructional materials themselves remain our property.

User-Generated Content

Our platform allows students to post questions, share project work, and participate in discussions. When you submit content to our site, you retain ownership of what you create, but you grant us a license to display and use it within our platform.

  1. Your content must be original or properly licensed for your use
  2. Don't post anything that infringes on others' intellectual property
  3. Keep discussions respectful and constructive
  4. No spam, advertising, or promotional content without permission
  5. Don't share personal information about yourself or others
  6. Maintain professional standards in community interactions

We can remove content that violates these guidelines or disrupts the learning environment. We're not required to monitor everything posted, but we address issues when they come to our attention.


Payment and Refund Policy

Course fees are listed on our site in euros. Prices can change, but you'll pay the rate displayed when you enroll. Payment processing is handled through secure third-party services.

We offer a limited refund window for most courses. Specifics are outlined at purchase, but generally you have 14 days from enrollment to request a refund if you haven't accessed substantial portions of the content. After that window or if you've downloaded significant materials, refunds aren't available.

Subscription-based access renews automatically unless you cancel before the renewal date. You're responsible for managing your subscription status.

Disclaimers and Limitations

Our educational materials are provided as-is. We work hard to maintain quality and accuracy, but we can't guarantee that everything will be error-free or that the site will be available without interruption.

Game development is a competitive field. Learning these skills takes time, practice, and often additional resources beyond our courses. Some students will see faster progress than others based on prior experience, time investment, and natural aptitude.

We're not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of our services. This includes lost opportunities, project delays, or issues with work you create using techniques learned here.

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claims related to our services is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the issue arose.

Privacy and Data Protection

We collect and process personal information according to our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection regulations, including GDPR. This includes information you provide during registration and data about how you use our platform.

Your information helps us improve our services, provide support, and communicate about courses and updates. We don't sell your personal data to third parties for their marketing purposes.


Prohibited Activities

Using our platform comes with responsibilities. These activities are strictly prohibited and can result in immediate account termination:

  • Attempting to hack, breach, or test our security measures
  • Using our services for illegal purposes or to promote harmful content
  • Impersonating others or creating fake accounts
  • Interfering with other users' access or experience
  • Harvesting user data or contact information
  • Introducing viruses, malware, or malicious code
  • Circumventing access controls or payment systems
  • Using automated systems to access the site without permission

Third-Party Links and Services

Our site might link to external resources, software tools, or asset libraries that we think are useful for students. We don't control these third-party sites and aren't responsible for their content, privacy practices, or terms.

When you click through to another site, you're subject to their terms and policies. Check those out before providing any information or making purchases elsewhere.

Modifications to Service

We update course content, add new features, and occasionally retire older materials. We might modify or discontinue aspects of our service with or without notice. We're not liable if changes affect your access or experience.

These terms can change too. When we make significant updates, we'll post a notice on the site. Continuing to use our services after changes means you accept the updated terms.


Termination

Either of us can end this relationship. You can stop using our services and close your account anytime. We can suspend or terminate your access if you violate these terms or engage in behavior that harms the platform or other users.

If we terminate your account for violations, you won't receive refunds for unused access periods. Sections of these terms that should naturally survive termination will continue to apply.

Governing Law and Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of Slovakia. Any disputes that arise will be handled in accordance with Slovak jurisdiction, though we encourage resolving issues through direct communication first.

If part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest remains valid and effective.

Accessibility Commitment

We strive to make our content accessible to all learners, including those using assistive technologies. Our materials aim to meet WCAG AAA standards where possible. If you encounter accessibility barriers, please let us know so we can address them.
