Terms of use

Last updated: November 13, 2026

These terms apply when you use the ShortLesson website or apps. By creating an account or using the service, you accept them.

The service

ShortLesson is run by Oleksandr Kolesnyk, an individual developer based in Ukraine. It offers short lessons on web development, practice tasks with automatic checks, an AI tutor, interview practice and related materials. Some of it is free and some needs a subscription.

Your account

  • Give a real email address and keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what happens in your account.
  • One account is for one person. Do not share access or resell it.
  • We may suspend an account that breaks these terms, for example by abusing the AI tutor, scraping content or attacking the service.

Subscriptions and payments

  • In the apps, subscriptions are bought through the App Store or Google Play and billed by Apple or Google. Their payment terms apply too.
  • A subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the period ends.
  • If a plan includes a free trial, the store shows its length before you confirm. When the trial ends, the store charges you unless you cancelled at least 24 hours before.
  • You can cancel at any time in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Access stays open until the paid period ends.
  • Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their rules. We cannot issue refunds for store purchases ourselves.

Content

The lessons, tasks, texts and images on ShortLesson belong to us or our authors. You can use them for your own learning. Do not copy, republish or sell them without our written permission. Code you write in practice tasks is yours.

AI answers

The AI tutor and the voice answer grading are automated. They can be wrong. Treat their answers as help for learning, not as professional advice.

Liability

We work to keep ShortLesson available and accurate, but we provide it as it is, without a guarantee that it will always work or fit your goals. We do not promise any job or exam result. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses from using the service. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection law.

Ending the agreement

You can stop using ShortLesson and delete your account at any time, see the privacy policy. We can stop providing the service or close an account that breaks these terms. If we shut the service down, we will warn you in advance.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Ukraine. If a dispute comes up, write to us first and we will try to settle it. If that does not work, the dispute goes to the courts of Ukraine, unless the law of your country gives you the right to go to court there.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. If a change matters for you, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect.
