Terms of Service

Last updated: October 1, 2026

These terms govern your use of kodeshala.in and the services offered there: browser-based coding tests (joined by code), hackathons (individual accounts), and practice tools. Those services are provided by CLEANAMPS POWER PRIVATE LIMITED under the Kodeshala brand. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you are a student using Kodeshala through your school, your school has arranged the tests — these terms still apply to your use.

1. Accounts

• Coding tests need no account: you join with the 4-digit code your school gives you plus your roll number. Your school is responsible for the accuracy of its roll-number lists.
• Hackathon accounts: you must give accurate details, keep your password safe, and be old enough to form a binding contract under Indian law, or use the platform through your school/parent. One person, one account — no sharing.
• School accountsare for the school's administrators, who are responsible for the tests they create and the student data they manage.

2. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Cheat — this includes having someone else complete a test for you, using another person's code, or interfering with proctoring.
• Attack, overload, scrape, or reverse-engineer the platform, or attempt to access other users' data.
• Upload unlawful content or code designed to harm the execution environment.
• Misrepresent your school, class, roll number, or identity in a test.

We may void results, suspend accounts, and involve schools where these rules are broken.

3. Events, tests, and scheduling

Hackathon start times, durations, and registration windows are shown on each event page. School tests run when the school admin starts and stops them. We may cancel or reschedule events; for paid events that we cancel and do not reschedule, registered participants receive a full refund.

4. Payments for paid hackathons

• Paid registrations are processed by Razorpay in INR. The fee shown at checkout is the price you pay.
• A seat is confirmed only after your payment is verified. If payment fails or is not completed, the seat is not reserved.
• Refunds are covered by our Refund Policy, which forms part of these terms.

5. Intellectual property

The platform, problem statements, and test cases belong to Kodeshala or their owners. You keep ownership of the code you write. You give us the limited right to run, store, and grade that code in order to operate the service, and to display your submissions where needed for results and scorecards.

6. Disclaimers

The service is provided "as is". We work hard to keep it available and accurate, but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free. Grading is automated against hidden test cases; if you believe a result is wrong, contact us or your school and we will investigate. To the extent permitted by law, Kodeshala is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for the event giving rise to the claim (or ₹100 if you paid nothing).

7. Changes

We may update these terms as the platform evolves. The date at the top shows the current version. Material changes for upcoming paid events will be announced on the site.
