These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," "your," or "Learner") and ByteWise. Your use of the Platform indicates your acceptance of these Terms in their entirety. ByteWise reserves the right to modify, update, or change these Terms at any time without prior notice, and it is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically.
