Third Party Products. Any reference in any WellCode Assets to any products, services, processes or other information by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, supplier or otherwise does not constitute or imply endorsement, sponsorship or recommendation thereof by WellCode. Information on this website relating to third party products is for informational purposes only.
While WellCode may provide access to certain third-party products, services, websites, platforms, subscriptions, tools and resources as part of the Program (“Third Party Assets”), it is understood by Client that WellCode does not have any ownership or control over such Third Party Assets. Accordingly, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, WellCode specifically disclaims all representations and warranties, express or implied, including any warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, noninfringement, as well as any and all warranties relating to the functionality, features, or reliability of any third-party products and services, and the accuracy, timeliness, reliability, completeness or currentness of any information contained in or accessible through same. Specifically, WellCode makes no representation or warranty that (a) any Third Party Assets will be available on a timely basis, or that access to same will be secure, uninterrupted, and without error; (b) that any defects or errors relating to any Third Party Assets will be corrected; (c) that the Third Party Assets are free of defects, malfunctions, viruses or other harmful elements; or (d) that access to Third Party Assets from the WellCode website or otherwise, will be uninterrupted and without error.
WellCode does not monitor, approve, or update the content posted by third parties on their websites and in other Third Party Assets, and our inclusion of links thereto in no way implies or constitutes any association between WellCode and said third party, nor does it constitute any form of guarantee, endorsement, or representation with respect to the completeness or accuracy of the referenced third party content or site. Any third party content posted by us is not a reflection of Our views.
By using any Third Party Assets, You acknowledge that said Third Party Assets have their own terms, privacy policies and disclaimers which may be different from those of WellCode, and which are beyond WellCode’s control. It is Your job and responsibility to read those terms and privacy policies before using any Third Party Assets. You acknowledge and agrees that we provide access to Third Party Assets on an “as is” and “as available” basis without any warranties, representations or conditions of any kind and without any endorsement. WellCode shall have no liability whatsoever arising from or relating to Your use of optional Third Party Assets. Any use or reliance upon such Third Party Assets is entirely at Your own risk and discretion, and You should ensure that You are familiar with and approves of the terms on which Third Party Assets are provided by the relevant provider(s).
WellCode may, in its sole discretion, discontinue providing access to any Third Party Assets at any time for any reason. In the event that we elect to discontinue providing access to any Third Party Assets, any client to whom such access was provided will receive a minimum 30 days’ notice of termination so that they may transfer their accounts or make other arrangements, as applicable.
Third Party Discounts. Certain WellCode Products and Services may include access to various third-party products, services, programs and subscriptions at a discounted rate (“Third Party Discounts”). By purchasing or signing up for any WellCode Product or Service, you acknowledge that these discounts are available only to paying members, and only while such paying member’s account is active, current, and not in default. Termination of membership in any WellCode program, Product or Service will also result in the immediate termination of access to any and all Third Party Discounts associated with such WellCode program, Product or Service.
Individual Support Not Guaranteed. Any coaching or support services provided as part of any WellCode Product, Service, Program or Community do not imply or guarantee that WellCode mentors will directly provide the answers to all problems You may encounter during the Program. The purpose of our programs is to teach You how to develop the skills to think creatively and solve problems in the field of computer science so that in the future You can cope with any issue You may face in this field.
The field of informatics is constantly evolving, with new problems arising every day. One of the skills we strive to teach is the creativity and willingness to solve new and unique problems that arise as technology develops. For this reason, we provide problems on the platform without the solution, in order to encourage students to exercise their problem solving skills. To the extent that WellCode would directly provide the solution(s) to all problems, students would not gain the skills that can only be developed by analyzing the problem until it is fully understood, and working out the solution(s) themselves. In our experience, disclosing all solutions rather than encouraging the students to solve problems with occasional guidance from our mentors, tends to not achieve the skill and level of understanding required to solve unique problems in the ever evolving field of informatics.
Tardiness and Rescheduling. If You are late for a call or appointment, the agreed-upon schedule will still apply, and the call or appointment will begin and end at the time as scheduled. If You need to reschedule a 1-to-1 coaching call, it must be done so with at least 48 hours’ written notice to avoid loss of future coaching privileges. Group calls cannot be re-scheduled or made up. If You miss a group call, a replay may, at WellCode’s sole discretion, become available in the members’ area at a later time; however, this is not guaranteed.
