Terms of Service
1. Agreement to These Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Individual, the individual who operates this Service ("we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the website located at https://servsafeskip.com (the "Site") and the browser-console script sold through it, marketed as ServSafe® Skip (the "Service"). The Service is operated by a sole proprietor, not by a company or other business entity.
You agree to these Terms by taking an affirmative action that shows your acceptance: checking the agreement box (or equivalent confirmation) presented at checkout when you purchase, and again when you request and retrieve your access line. Merely browsing the Site does not bind you to the purchase terms. If you do not agree, do not purchase or use the Service. Links to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Refund Policy are provided conspicuously at checkout and where you retrieve your access line.
2. Your Assent and Our Records
When you agree, we record the version of these Terms you accepted, the date and time, and an identifier for the transaction (such as your checkout email or Paddle customer/transaction ID), together with the fact of your assent. These records document the agreement that applies to your purchase. You may request a copy of the Terms version you accepted by contacting us.
3. About the Service
The Service is a JavaScript utility intended to be pasted into the developer console of a web browser while a supported online food-handler training course is open. It interacts with the course player running in your own browser session. The Service:
- runs entirely in your browser and does not modify any server you do not own;
- is delivered as a one-line command tied to the email address used at checkout;
- is a tool only — it does not provide training, certification, or legal advice.
4. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if greater) and capable of forming a binding contract to use the Service. By using the Service you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.
5. License and Permitted Use
Upon receipt of payment, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the script for your own personal, non-commercial use with a course you are legitimately enrolled in. Your access does not expire and you may retrieve a fresh access line whenever you need one, subject only to termination under Section 15. You may not:
- resell, redistribute, sublicense, rent, or lease the script or your access line;
- publish the script, your one-line command, or any derivative of it;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source beyond what is delivered to you, except to the extent such a restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
- use the Service on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any third party.
Each purchase entitles a single individual to access. Access is keyed to the checkout email.
6. Purchases, Payment, and Taxes
The Service is sold for a one-time fee of $4.99 USD. Your payment is made to Paddle, which acts as the seller and merchant of record for the transaction. Paddle is the seller that appears on your statement and is responsible for processing your payment, handling billing inquiries, and calculating, collecting, and remitting any applicable sales tax. Your payment relationship for the transaction is with Paddle; your license to the script (Section 5) is granted by us. These are two separate relationships. By purchasing, you authorize Paddle to charge the payment method you provide. We do not collect or store your card details. Prices may change at any time; changes do not affect purchases already completed.
7. Refunds
Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. Because the Service is delivered digitally, please read the Refund Policy before purchasing. Nothing in the Refund Policy limits your statutory rights.
8. Assumption of Risk
9. Intellectual Property
The Site, the script, and all associated content (excluding third-party trademarks) are owned by or licensed to us and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Except for the limited license in Section 5, no rights are transferred to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any right you may have under applicable law that cannot be waived.
ServSafe® and SafeStaff® are registered trademarks of the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF). We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the NRAEF. Any use of these marks on the Site is for nominative, descriptive purposes only.
10. Prohibited Uses
You agree not to use the Service to:
- violate any applicable law or regulation;
- commit fraud, including obtaining a credential you are not entitled to;
- interfere with, disrupt, or place undue load on the Site or any third-party system;
- circumvent the access controls of the Site (for example, sharing access lines);
- infringe the rights of any third party.
11. Third-Party Services
The Service depends on third parties, including Paddle (payments), Vercel (hosting), Upstash (data storage), Cloudflare (DNS and email routing), and the course platform itself. Your use of those services is also governed by their own terms. We are not responsible for the acts, errors, or omissions of any third party, and we do not guarantee that the Service will work with any particular course, browser, or platform version.
12. Disclaimer of Warranties
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SITE AND THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SUCCESSFUL IN ANY PARTICULAR COURSE, NOR THAT IT WILL RESULT IN A COMPLETED COURSE OR VALID CERTIFICATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THIS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IN FULL.
13. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE OR OUR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, DATA, OR CERTIFICATION, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, willful or intentional misconduct, gross negligence where applicable, personal injury or death caused by our negligence, or any other liability that applicable law does not permit us to limit. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations or exclusions, so portions of this section may not apply to you.
14. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify us against third-party claims, damages, losses, and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right. Our obligation to defend a claim under this section is subject to your giving us prompt written notice, cooperating with the defense, and not settling any claim that imposes liability or obligations on us without our prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). We may, at our option, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you must indemnify us. This indemnity does not apply to the extent a claim arises from our own fault or where applicable law does not permit it.
15. Termination
Your access persists and we will not revoke it arbitrarily. We may suspend or terminate access only for a material breach of these Terms, a security concern, a legal requirement, or if we discontinue the Service. Where practicable we will give you notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure a curable breach. If we discontinue the Service, we will provide reasonable notice and, where appropriate, a refund of any amount paid for access you could not use. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.
16. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. For changes that materially affect your rights, we will provide direct notice (for example, by email to your checkout address or a prominent notice on the Site) before they take effect, and we will not apply material changes retroactively to purchases already completed. The "Effective date" at the top of this page reflects the current version. Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms for future use.
17. Governing Law, Venue, and Mandatory Consumer Rights
These Terms are governed by the laws of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Subject to the next sentence, disputes shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Florida, United States. Nothing here deprives you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the consumer-protection law of the place where you live, or of any right you may have under applicable law to bring or defend claims in your local courts.
18. Severability; Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
