6. User Content
If the Service lets you post content (for example, in a community forum, discussion, or comment section), you retain ownership of what you post, but you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute that content as part of operating the Service. You are solely responsible for content you post and confirm you have the right to post it.
7. Intellectual Property
The Service, including course materials, branding, and software, is owned by Cornerstone or our licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to access and use course content for your personal, non-commercial learning purposes.
8. Third-Party Services
We use third-party providers to operate the Service, including authentication and database infrastructure (Supabase) and a payment processor for paid subscriptions. Your use of the Service is also subject to the applicable terms of those providers where relevant.
9. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that completing courses will lead to any particular certification, job, or career outcome.

11. Termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, misuse the Service, or fail to pay applicable fees. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will survive.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the Service before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
