Terms

The simple rules for using the website, having an account and joining our events.

Last updated 11 November 2026

01Using this site

These terms apply when you use the Programming and Tech Skills Club website (“the club”, “we”). By using the site, creating an account or registering for an event, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site. Our Privacy page explains how we handle your information.

02Accounts

  • Give accurate details. Your account is for you alone, so don't share it.
  • Keep your password private, and tell us if you think someone else has it.
  • New accounts are reviewed by an admin. We can decline, suspend or remove an account, for example if the details are false or the account is misused.

03Event registration

  • Use your own details, including your real roll number. Each roll number can register once for an event, alone or as part of a team.
  • Places can be limited, and registration closes after the event day. Registering doesn't guarantee entry if the details are wrong or the event is full or changed.
  • Organisers may change, postpone or cancel an event, and will try to let registered people know.
  • Follow the event's rules and the organisers' instructions on the day.

04Acceptable use

Please don't:

  • give false information or register for someone else without their knowledge;
  • try to get into accounts, data or parts of the site you aren't allowed to use;
  • overload the site or try to get around its limits, for example with automated sign-ups;
  • upload or share anything unlawful, harmful or that infringes someone's rights.

05Respect each other

The club is for everyone. Harassment, discrimination and bullying, online or at events, aren't acceptable. Organisers can remove people from events, and we can remove accounts, if this happens.

06Content and ownership

The site's design, text and logo belong to the club or its contributors. What you create, such as your projects, stays yours. If you share something with us to show on the site, such as a photo, you're telling us you're allowed to share it and that we may display it for the club's purposes.

07Availability

We're students running this in our spare time. The site is provided “as is”, and it may be unavailable or change at times. We'll do our best to keep it running and your information safe.

08Liability

To the extent the law allows, the club and the people who run it aren't responsible for losses that result from using the site or attending an event, apart from anything we can't exclude by law. Nothing here limits your legal rights.

09Changes and contact

We may update these terms and will change the date above when we do. Using the site after an update means you accept the new terms. For questions, contact a club coordinator listed on the Team page.
