Additional Terms for AI Project Courses
Effective July 18, 2026
These additional terms apply to Bay Coding Club (“BCC”) AI Explorer, AI Creator, AI Innovator, Build AI Apps, Build AI Agents, AI Startup Lab, and related AI project courses. They supplement the waiver above and the terms shown on the applicable product and checkout pages. If a course-specific checkout term differs from a general website statement, the course-specific term accepted at checkout controls for that enrollment.
1. Parent or Guardian Authority
The purchaser confirms that they are the participating student’s parent or legal guardian, or that they have legal authority to enroll the student and accept these terms. The purchaser agrees to provide accurate parent and student contact information and to notify BCC of material changes.
2. Enrollment, Cohort Formation, and Start Date
Payment reserves a place in the selected pending cohort; it does not guarantee an immediate start date. AI project courses use rolling enrollment and normally begin after at least three paid students are enrolled in the same course. After a cohort forms, BCC will email the confirmed instructor, weekly meeting time, start date, and joining information. The waiting, transfer, credit, and refund options displayed on the applicable product or checkout page apply if a cohort has not yet formed.
3. Live Instruction, Schedule, and Instructor Changes
Classes are live, online, and instructor-led. Course length, number of meetings, meeting duration, cohort size, and included services are stated on the applicable product page. BCC may make reasonable changes to an instructor, meeting time, platform, or lesson sequence when necessary and will give affected families reasonable notice. If BCC cancels a course that has already started, BCC will offer an appropriate transfer, credit, rescheduled session, or refund for instruction not provided.
4. Technology and Third-Party Services
The family is responsible for a working computer, reliable internet connection, and any account or software specifically identified before class. Courses may use third-party video meeting, learning, hosting, coding, payment, and AI services. Those services may have their own terms and privacy practices and may change or become unavailable. BCC will use reasonable alternatives when a required service becomes unavailable. Optional subscriptions, custom domains, extra hosting, and API usage beyond any amount specifically listed as included are the family’s responsibility.
5. AI Use, Accuracy, and Safety
AI systems can produce incorrect, incomplete, biased, or inappropriate output. Students are expected to question, verify, and revise AI output rather than treat it as automatically correct. Students must follow instructor directions and may not use class tools to create harmful, deceptive, unlawful, harassing, sexually explicit, violent, discriminatory, or privacy-invasive content. BCC instruction and AI output are educational only and are not medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice.
6. Student Privacy and Data
Students must not enter passwords or private, identifying, medical, financial, school-record, or account information into AI prompts or project data. Students must not publish class meeting links, reveal classmates’ personal information, or attempt to access another person’s account or files. BCC will use student information only as reasonably necessary to enroll, schedule, teach, support, and document the course, subject to the BCC Privacy Policy and the AI Academy Parent Authorization & Student Privacy Notice.
7. Class Recording, Images, and Public Sharing
Students may not record a class without advance written permission. A class may be recorded for enrolled-student access, safety, or instructional quality only after BCC gives notice and obtains any consent required by law. Enrollment alone does not authorize BCC to use a student’s name, image, voice, or identifiable work in public marketing. Public sharing or promotional use requires separate, specific permission from the parent or legal guardian.
8. Student Work and Intellectual Property
To the extent permitted by law and applicable third-party terms, the student retains ownership of the student’s original project work. The student grants BCC a limited, nonexclusive permission to view, copy, and display the work privately as reasonably needed to teach, provide feedback, assess progress, and conduct a class showcase. This permission does not include public advertising or promotional use without separate parent or guardian consent. Students must respect copyright, licenses, trademarks, privacy, and the rights of others.
9. Conduct and Academic Integrity
Students must participate respectfully, follow class and platform rules, submit work they can explain, and give appropriate credit for sources, code, media, and AI assistance. BCC may limit tool access, contact the parent or guardian, or remove a student from a session when reasonably necessary to protect students, staff, accounts, or systems. Repeated or serious violations may result in removal from the course under the refund terms accepted at checkout.
10. Attendance, Missed Classes, Cancellation, and Refunds
Families should email info@baycodingclub.com as early as possible when a student will miss class. A student absence does not automatically create a right to a make-up session, credit, or refund; any available option depends on the course, cohort, and checkout terms. A family may request cancellation within the first week after the student’s first class by emailing BCC. After the first week, cancellation requests are no longer accepted. The refund amount, method, and timing are governed by the terms displayed and accepted on the applicable product and checkout pages.
11. Online Activity Risks and Release
The parent or guardian understands that online technology activities involve risks that may include eye strain, repetitive-use discomfort, emotional stress, exposure to inaccurate or inappropriate online content, loss of work, service interruption, account compromise, and privacy or cybersecurity incidents. The family agrees to follow reasonable safety instructions, use age-appropriate accounts, maintain secure passwords, and supervise the student as appropriate. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the parent or guardian accepts the ordinary risks inherent in voluntary participation and agrees that the release and hold-harmless provisions in the BCC Waiver and Release of Liability apply to participation in these AI project courses. Nothing in these terms waives rights that cannot legally be waived.
12. Electronic Acceptance
Checking the required box at checkout, completing payment, or otherwise electronically accepting these terms has the same effect as a handwritten signature. The parent or guardian acknowledges that they have read and accepted these AI course terms, the applicable product and checkout terms, the BCC Privacy Policy, and the BCC Waiver and Release of Liability.
