KinshaTech

Terms of Service

Effective date: May 1, 2026
Last updated: May 1, 2026

Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a contract between you and KinshaTech, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“KinshaTech,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your access to and use of the KinshaTech website, applications, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).

The Services are available globally where law allows, but KinshaTech is oriented toward learners and professionals in Africa and the Caribbean seeking STEM education, credentials, and global career pathways. Users in other regions remain subject to these Terms and applicable law.

By accessing or using the Services—whether or not you create an account—you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use personal information.

Eligibility

You must be able to form a binding contract under applicable law to use the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of a company, school, or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” includes that organization.

Accounts and security

Certain features require an account. You agree to provide accurate information, keep your login credentials confidential, and notify us promptly of any unauthorized access. Unless we expressly permit otherwise, you will maintain only one personal account in your own name (or your organization’s authorized business account) and you will not share account access with third parties, sell or transfer your account, or register using a false identity.

Organization-sponsored access. If a school, employer, partner, or other organization provides you access to the Services (for example, through a bulk license, enterprise agreement, or sponsored enrollment), that organization may have additional rights described in your separate agreement with them—for example, to view usage summaries, assign seats, or suspend access. As between you and KinshaTech, your profile and User Content remain yours subject to these Terms; the organization’s agreement with KinshaTech governs their administrative relationship with us.

References to KinshaTech, LLC describe the contracting party; your counsel should confirm the final legal entity name if it differs.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, create risk, or harm other users or the Services.

Description of the Services

KinshaTech provides an online platform that may include, depending on the product areas available to you:

  • Educational offerings such as courses, certifications, degree-aligned programs, challenges, and related learning experiences.
  • Live or recorded instruction, collaboration features, and tools that may generate transcripts, recaps, or other AI-assisted outputs from session content where offered.
  • Career-related features such as job listings, employer connections, applications, and networking.
  • Community features such as posts, articles, newsletters, and messaging.
  • Administrative tools for instructors, employers, partners, or platform operators.
  • Notifications you configure (such as email or browser push), subject to your device and account settings.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the Services (for example, to improve security or comply with law). We do not guarantee that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Violate any applicable law or regulation, or infringe anyone’s intellectual property, privacy, or other rights.
  • Harass, threaten, defraud, discriminate against, or abuse others.
  • Upload malware, probe or bypass security, or interfere with the operation of the Services.
  • Scrape, crawl, harvest, or automate access to the Services in a way that burdens our systems or circumvents technical limits, except as allowed by a written agreement with us.
  • Misrepresent your identity, qualifications, affiliations, or credentials.
  • Cheat on assessments, impersonate another user, or attempt to obtain unfair academic or hiring outcomes.
  • Use the Services to send spam, deceptive communications, or unlawful promotional messages.
  • Use career, messaging, or networking features for harassing, discriminatory, or deceptive recruiting, or in a way that misleads others about opportunities or compensation.

You agree to use the Services lawfully and, where you interact with other members (for example, instructors, students, or employers), in a professional manner consistent with the norms of education and employment markets.

We may investigate violations and cooperate with law enforcement as appropriate.

User content and license

You retain ownership of content you submit, upload, or post (“User Content”). You grant KinshaTech a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, display, distribute, and otherwise process User Content as reasonably necessary to:

  • Operate, improve, and promote the Services.
  • Display User Content to other users according to your visibility and sharing settings (for example, profiles visible to connections or the public, community posts, job applications, or messages you send through the Services).
  • Share User Content with employers, universities, partners, or instructors when you use features that are designed to make that sharing part of the product experience (for example, applying to a role or submitting coursework).
  • Create aggregated or de-identified insights where permitted by law.

You represent that you have the rights needed to grant this license, and that your User Content does not violate law or third-party rights.

We may remove or restrict User Content that violates these Terms or that we reasonably believe creates risk, but we are not obligated to monitor all User Content.

Feedback

If you submit suggestions, ideas, bug reports, or other feedback about the Services (“Feedback”), you grant KinshaTech an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, disclose, and incorporate that Feedback for any purpose without restriction or compensation to you, and you waive any claim that Feedback contains proprietary information we may not use.

KinshaTech intellectual property

The Services—including software, text, graphics, logos, branding, and curated materials—are owned by KinshaTech, LLC, our affiliates, or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms, we do not grant you any rights to our intellectual property.

Third-party services and links

The Services may integrate with or link to third-party services (for example, sign-in providers, payment processors, video infrastructure, or partner sites). Your use of those services is governed by their terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services.

Courses, credentials, and career outcomes

Completion of programs or assessments may lead to certificates, badges, or other attestations as described in the relevant program materials. KinshaTech does not grant university degrees unless a specific program page clearly states an accredited award in partnership with a named institution.

KinshaTech does not guarantee any particular job offer, salary, remote-work arrangement, visa, immigration outcome, or business result. Hiring, compensation, and career decisions are made by third parties (such as employers) and depend on many factors outside our control.

Career features and third parties

KinshaTech provides tools and marketplace-style surfaces to discover opportunities and connect with employers, partners, and other users. KinshaTech is not your employer, recruiter, or admissions office for third-party institutions unless we explicitly state otherwise in a separate signed agreement. Members and organizations that post jobs, programs, or messages are responsible for their own offers, compliance with labor and advertising law, and truthfulness. You are responsible for evaluating opportunities and verifying counterparties before you share personal data or accept engagements.

Fees and billing

Some offerings may require payment. Where fees apply, pricing, taxes, and billing terms will be presented at checkout or enrollment. Unless otherwise stated or required by law, fees are non-refundable except as explicitly offered in writing at the time of purchase.

Payments may be processed by third-party payment processors (such as Stripe). Their terms also apply.

Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, KINSHATECH DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Services will meet your requirements, that content is complete or error-free, or that any particular outcome (including employment) will result from your use of the Services.

AI-assisted features

Some features use artificial intelligence or machine learning to generate summaries, suggestions, tags, or other outputs. Those outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsuitable for your situation. You are responsible for reviewing and validating any AI-assisted content before you rely on it, share it with third parties, or submit it for academic, professional, or legal purposes. Your use of AI-assisted features must comply with these Terms, including the Acceptable use section above.

Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

  • KINSHATECH, LLC AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS.
  • THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF KINSHATECH, LLC FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO KINSHATECH FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Indemnity

You will defend and indemnify KinshaTech, LLC and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your User Content; (b) your use of the Services; or (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if we must do so to comply with law, or for other operational reasons. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, Dispute resolution and binding arbitration, and governing law) will survive termination.

Dispute resolution and binding arbitration

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court, to a jury trial, and to participate in a class action.

Informal resolution

For any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms (each, a “Dispute”), you and KinshaTech agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally first. Before initiating arbitration, the party seeking relief must send a written Notice of Dispute to the other at Support@KinshaTech.com (if you are the claimant) or to the email address associated with your account (if we are the claimant). The Notice must describe the nature of the Dispute and the relief sought. You and we will negotiate in good faith for sixty (60) days after receipt before starting arbitration.

Binding arbitration

If a Dispute is not resolved informally, you and KinshaTech agree that the Dispute will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect when the arbitration is filed (the “AAA Rules”), except as modified by this section. The AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org. If the AAA is unavailable, another mutually acceptable arbitration provider may be used.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement. The arbitrator may award the same relief as a court could award on an individual basis. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The arbitration will be conducted in English. Unless you and KinshaTech agree otherwise, hearings may be held by videoconference or in Fulton County, Georgia, United States.

Fees. Payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, except that KinshaTech will pay any amounts you would not be required to pay under the AAA Rules for consumer arbitrations if you demonstrate that paying those fees would be a hardship compared to the cost of filing suit in court.

Class action and jury trial waiver

YOU AND KINSHATECH AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both you and KinshaTech agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim must be severed from arbitration and may be litigated in court, but the remainder of the Dispute still must be arbitrated.

YOU AND KINSHATECH WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY for Disputes subject to this arbitration section, except as stated below.

Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if the Dispute qualifies.

Either party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm (for example, misuse of intellectual property or data security incidents) without waiving the obligation to arbitrate the underlying merits, except where a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such relief must be decided in court.

Nothing in this section limits either party’s right to seek relief from a government agency with jurisdiction.

Enforceability

If any part of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable under the laws of the country in which you reside, that part will not apply to you; the remainder will remain in effect. If the entire arbitration agreement is unenforceable as to you, disputes will be resolved in the courts described in Governing law and venue below.

Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where preempted by applicable federal law (including the Federal Arbitration Act).

Courts. Except for Disputes required to be arbitrated under Dispute resolution and binding arbitration (or brought in small claims court as permitted there), you and KinshaTech consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, for any Dispute not subject to arbitration.

If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction that gives you the right to bring certain disputes in your local courts, that right remains available to the extent required by mandatory law in your place of residence.

Changes to these Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms and update the “Last updated” date. If a change is material, we may provide additional notice through the Services or by email. If we materially change the Dispute resolution and binding arbitration section, we will take reasonable steps to notify you, and your continued use after the effective date may constitute acceptance as permitted by law, except where your jurisdiction prohibits those changes from applying without fresh consent.

Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of other changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms, except where applicable law requires additional consent.
