Terms

Terms of service.

Last revised · April 20, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the CODERCOPS platform at codercops.com and its sub-domains, the dashboard, the public profile site, the admin panel, and the supporting API (together, the “Platform”). By creating an account, subscribing, or otherwise using the Platform you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

1. Acceptance and eligibility

You may use the Platform only if you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract under the laws of your jurisdiction. If you are using the Platform on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to bind that organisation and the words “you” and “your” refer to both you and that organisation.

2. Your account

  • You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when you register, and keep it up to date.
  • One account per person. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account.
  • Do not share your credentials or transfer your account to anyone else without our written consent.
  • We use a single-sign-on session cookie scoped to .codercops.com so you stay signed in across the Platform.

3. Subscription and billing

  • The Platform is offered on a paid subscription of USD $49 per month, renewing automatically each billing cycle until cancelled.
  • One subscription covers both the Builder role and the Client role.
  • At checkout you select a payment provider — Stripe or Polar, where both are available. Polar acts as the Merchant of Record and is responsible for collecting any applicable sales tax, VAT, or GST on its orders; Stripe does not act as Merchant of Record.
  • Prices are in US dollars and exclude taxes unless stated otherwise. Taxes, where applicable, are calculated and collected by the payment provider.
  • Non-subscribers may have limited free access (including one free action per month). Full access requires an active subscription.
  • Refund, cancellation, and renewal terms are set out in our Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

4. Builders — your obligations

  • You must provide accurate and truthful information in your builder application, profile, and portfolio. Misrepresenting skills, experience, or authorship is grounds for rejection, badge revocation, and account termination.
  • You must own or have the necessary rights to everything you upload, including portfolio images, descriptions, and resume content.
  • You must comply with all applicable laws, professional standards, and any obligations you owe to third parties (e.g. existing employers, NDAs, export controls).
  • You must respond to Clients and to our staff reasonably and in good faith during the verification process.

5. Clients — your obligations

  • Opportunities you post must be lawful, real, and described honestly. No bait postings, no unpaid test work beyond reasonable screening.
  • Your company information (name, logo, industry, size) must be accurate. Do not impersonate another organisation.
  • Treat Builders professionally. Respond to applicants within a reasonable period and do not use the Platform to harvest personal data outside the hiring process.

6. Verified Builder badge

The Verified Builder badge is awarded at our sole discretion after a four-stage review: submitted → project review → interview → verified. The badge signals that a Builder has completed our review process at a point in time. It is not a guarantee of the Builder's work product, availability, or fitness for any specific engagement. We may pause, downgrade, or revoke the badge at any time if we have reason to believe that a Builder's information is inaccurate, that their work is fraudulent, or that they have breached these Terms. We do not owe Clients any duty of care arising from the badge.

7. Marketplace disclaimer

CODERCOPS is an introduction and discovery platform. We are not a party to any contract, engagement, or transaction between a Builder and a Client. We do not hold funds in escrow, do not process payments between Builders and Clients, and do not guarantee the quality, legality, or timing of any work performed or paid for outside the Platform. Any agreement between a Builder and a Client is made directly between them; we do not act as a lawyer, accountant, or tax advisor to either party.

8. Acceptable use and prohibited content

You agree not to host, upload, modify, publish, transmit, store, update, or share on the Platform any information that:

  • belongs to another person and to which you do not have any right;
  • is defamatory, obscene, pornographic, paedophilic, invasive of another's privacy (including bodily privacy), insulting or harassing on the basis of gender, libellous, racially or ethnically objectionable, or otherwise inconsistent with or contrary to the laws in force;
  • is harmful to children in any manner;
  • infringes any patent, trademark, copyright, or other proprietary rights;
  • violates any law for the time being in force;
  • deceives or misleads the addressee about the origin of a message, or knowingly and intentionally communicates any information that is patently false, untrue, or misleading;
  • impersonates another person;
  • threatens the unity, integrity, defence, security, or sovereignty of India, friendly relations with foreign States, or public order, or causes incitement to the commission of any cognisable offence, or prevents investigation of any offence, or insults other nations;
  • contains software viruses, worms, trojans, or any other computer code, file, or program designed to interrupt, destroy, or limit the functionality of any computer resource;
  • is patently false, with the intent to mislead or harass a person, entity, or agency for financial gain or to cause injury.

You must also not: scrape, reverse-engineer, or probe the Platform except as permitted by law; circumvent authentication, rate limits, or payment; resell the Platform; use the Platform to build a competing product; or send unsolicited bulk messages through Platform communication features.

9. Intellectual property

  • Your content. You retain all rights in the content you upload (profile, portfolio, opportunities, messages). You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, adapt, and display your content as needed to operate, promote (for public profile pages), and improve the Platform. This licence ends when you delete the content, except where backups or legal holds require retention.
  • Our content. The Platform software, the CODERCOPS name, logo, and associated marks, and all other intellectual property that we own or license are our exclusive property. These Terms do not grant you any right in them other than the limited right to use the Platform.
  • Feedback. If you send us suggestions or ideas, we may use them without obligation to you.

10. User-submitted content and takedown

If you believe content on the Platform infringes your rights, violates applicable law, or violates these Terms, email our Grievance Officer (Section 18) with a description of the content, its location, and your contact information. We acknowledge complaints within 24 hours and endeavour to resolve them within 15 days, consistent with the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021.

11. Third-party services

The Platform relies on third-party services, including Stripe and Polar for payments, Google OAuth for sign-in, Cloudflare R2 for file storage, Resend for transactional email, Vercel for hosting, and others listed in the Privacy Policy. Your use of those services, where you interact with them directly, is governed by their own terms.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CODERCOPS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY PARTICULAR BUILDER OR CLIENT WILL BE SUITABLE FOR YOUR NEEDS.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL CODERCOPS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM WILL NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF (a) THE FEES YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (b) INR 10,000. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS.

14. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold CODERCOPS and our officers, directors, employees, and agents harmless from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from (a) your use of the Platform, (b) your content, (c) your breach of these Terms, or (d) your infringement of any third-party right. We may assume the defence of any matter for which you have indemnified us, at your expense; you must not settle any matter without our prior written consent.

15. Suspension and termination

  • You may stop using the Platform and cancel your subscription at any time through the billing portal; cancellation terms are described in the Refund Policy.
  • We may suspend or terminate your account, at any time and with or without notice, for breach of these Terms, non-payment, suspected fraud, misrepresentation in the verification pipeline, or where we are required to do so by law.
  • Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 9, 12–14, and 17) survive termination.

16. Changes to the Terms

We may change these Terms from time to time. If a change is material we will notify active subscribers by email and display a notice in the dashboard at least 15 days before it takes effect. Your continued use of the Platform after a change means you accept the updated Terms. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.

17. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to the paragraph below, the courts at Lucknow, India have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform.

Nothing in these Terms overrides any right you have as a consumer that cannot be waived by contract under the law of your country of residence, including the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (India), the EU Consumer Rights Directive, and equivalent laws in the UK and elsewhere. Where such a right applies, you may bring a claim in the courts of your place of residence as permitted by that law.

19. Contact and general
