PythioThese Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to the Pythio Android app ("Pythio", "the app"), made by appalloo ("we", "us"). By installing or using the app, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please uninstall the app.
1. The app
Pythio is a course for learning the Python programming language, in short lessons, stories and practice. You may use it for your own personal learning. You agree not to misuse the app, interfere with how it works, or use it for anything unlawful.
2. Price
Pythio is free to download, with no ads and no account. Part 1 of the course (Units 1 to 5 and its story) is free for everyone, with no time limit.
The full course is an optional one-time in-app purchase that opens Parts 2 to 4. It is not a subscription and doesn't renew.
- The purchase is made through Google Play and is subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Google Play shows the price in your currency, including any taxes, before you confirm.
- The full course is tied to your Google account: it opens Parts 2 to 4 in Pythio on any device where you're signed in to Google Play with that account, also after reinstalling.
- Refunds are handled by Google Play under its refund policies. If a purchase is refunded, Parts 2 to 4 lock again; your progress in them is kept.
- We may change the price for future purchases. What you already bought stays open.
3. About the course content
We check every code example in the course by running it with real Python. Still, Python changes over time: newer versions may word some error messages a little differently from the ones shown in the app, and a few details can change between versions.
Pythio teaches you to read and understand Python. It isn't a certification, and the certificate you get at the end of the course is a personal record of finishing it, not a qualification.
4. Code you take to your computer
"Send to my computer" gives you steps for installing Python and the small café program you built in the course. Installing software on your computer and running programs there is up to you. Follow the official instructions of the tools you install, and only run code you understand and trust.
5. Your progress
Your progress and settings stay on your device. There's no account to sync them, so if you lose your device or uninstall the app, they may be gone, unless your device's own Android backup restores them. "Start over" in Settings deletes your progress and can't be undone. Our Privacy Policy explains how the app handles your information.
6. Other services
Buying the full course, sharing your certificate or the files from "Send to my computer", emailing us and opening links (such as python.org or a code editor's website) go through other apps and services, which have their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for those services.
7. Intellectual property
The app, including its lessons, stories, design, code, graphics and name, belongs to appalloo and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer or redistribute any part of the app without our written permission, except as allowed by law. You're free to use, change and share the small programs you write while learning, including the café's till sent to your computer.
Open-source components included in the app, such as the JetBrains Mono font (SIL Open Font License), are licensed under their own licenses.
"Python" and the Python logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of the Python Software Foundation.

8. Disclaimers
Pythio is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the app or its content will be error-free, or that the course will prepare you for any particular exam, job or purpose.
9. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for losses from using or being unable to use Pythio, including lost progress, or from code you run on your own devices. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under the consumer laws of your country.
10. Changes to these Terms
We may update Pythio or these Terms, and we'll change the effective date at the top when we do. If you keep using the app after a change, you accept the updated Terms.
