Terms of Service

1. Subject Matter and Acceptance of Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms", "Agreement") constitute a legally binding contract entered into by and between the user ("you", "your", or "User") and Markdex ("we", "us", or "our"), governing your access to and use of our website, documentation, interval calculations, template designs, and educational resources regarding spaced repetition software.

By accessing, browsing, downloading card syntax, copying interval configuration parameters, or otherwise interacting with our platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and unequivocally agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to these terms in their entirety, you must immediately terminate access to this site.

2. Description of Educational Services and Materials

Markdex provides analytical breakdowns, configuration scripts, card templates, algorithmic interval tuning guides (such as FSRS and SM-2 implementations), and taxonomic organizational blueprints designed for learning optimization. All guides found across modules such as Interval Scheduling Calculations, Card Template Architecture, and Add-on Infrastructure are offered strictly for educational and informational development.

Markdex is an independent research and learning hub. We are neither affiliated with, endorsed by, nor a subsidiary of the official Anki software project (Damien Elmes) or any associated third-party developers, unless expressly stated otherwise in writing.

3. Acceptable Use Policy and Prohibited Operations

You agree to use our digital assets solely for lawful, non-commercial educational purposes or individual skill enhancement. In connecting to our infrastructure, you expressly agree not to:

• Engage in automated data extraction, web scraping, spidering, or bulk harvesting of our template libraries or proprietary code tutorials without written consent;
• Deploy malicious code, script injections, or denial-of-service payloads against our host servers and delivery networks;
• Redistribute, sub-license, package into paid derivative masterclasses, or resell whole modules of our documentation without attribution and explicit authorization;
• Bypass, reverse engineer, or attempt to disable security barriers, headers, or API rate-limiting measures implemented across Markdex domains;
• Misrepresent your identity, impersonate Markdex staff or contributors, or falsely claim sponsorship or accreditation from our team.

4. Intellectual Property and Card Template Syntax Rights

All text, pedagogical layouts, graphics, branding elements, taxonomic schemas, UI/UX configurations, and editorial compilations hosted on this site are the exclusive intellectual property of Markdex and are protected under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (UK), international copyright conventions, and relevant treaty frameworks.

Users are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to implement card CSS stylesheets, HTML frameworks, and scheduling presets into their private flashcard databases for personal, academic, or internal non-distributive study workflows.

6. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or restrict Markdex’s liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other statutory liability that cannot be excluded under the laws of England and Wales (including the Consumer Rights Act 2015).

Subject to the above, Markdex, its directors, employees, affiliates, and licensors shall not be held liable in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages. This includes, without limitation:

• Loss of flashcard database records, corrupted media files, or synchronization failure;
• Loss of academic standing, missed examination thresholds, or career advancement opportunities;
• Loss of profits, business revenue, data, goodwill, or commercial opportunities;
• System outages, browser incompatibilities, or third-party add-on conflicts.

In all circumstances, our cumulative total liability arising out of or in connection with your use of the website shall not exceed the amount paid by you to Markdex in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or £50.00 GBP, whichever is lower.

7. External Third-Party Add-ons and Hyperlinks

Our guides contain analytical references and hyperlinks to third-party software repositories, Python extensions, and open-source add-ons (detailed in our Add-on Integration section). Markdex exercises no direct operational control over third-party scripts, repositories, or external services. We accept no liability or responsibility for damages, data corruption, or privacy breaches resulting from third-party software execution on your local hardware.
