These are the rules for using Project Shift. Making an account or joining the waitlist means you are agreeing to them, so they are worth the five minutes.
We have kept them short and in ordinary words. What we do with your data is a separate page, the Privacy Policy.
We teach data analysis. Structured paths through spreadsheets, SQL, data visualisation and the portfolio work that goes at the end of them. The lessons are built to be worked through rather than watched.
We have not opened yet. Right now the site is a waitlist and a small amount of the product behind it. Treat everything you see as work in progress, because that is what it is.
You need an account to get at the lessons. You can set an email and a password, or sign in with Google and skip the password entirely. Either way, use an address you actually read, because it is how we reach you and how you get back in if you are locked out.
One account per person. Anything done through your account is treated as done by you, so keep the password to yourself. If you want the account harder to break into, Settings then Security has two-factor authentication and passkeys. If you think somebody else has got in, email mail@projectshift.app and we will help you shut it down.
You have to be at least 13 to sign up. If you are under 18, get a parent or guardian to agree to this on your behalf before you do.
Nothing today. There is no payment anywhere on this site yet, so nothing can charge you by accident.
The waitlist page promises the first 100 people 30 days free. That promise stands and we will honour it when we open.
When we do add paid plans, the price and the refund rules will be on the site before anyone is asked to pay, and nothing you already have access to will quietly start billing you. If we get that wrong, tell us and we will refund it.
The lessons, exercises, datasets, wording and design are ours or licensed to us. Your account gets you a personal licence to use them to learn. That licence is for you, not for a group, and it ends if your account does.
Do not republish or resell the material, scrape the site to copy it, feed it wholesale into another product, or hand your login to other people so they can use one seat between them. Running our lessons as your own course somewhere else is the specific thing this clause exists to stop.
Everything you make is yours. The queries you write, the dashboards you build, the portfolio projects at the end of a path. Put them on GitHub, show them to recruiters, use them in interviews. That is the entire point of building them.
We do need permission to store your work and show it back to you inside the product, which is all that permission covers. We will not sell it or publish it as ours. You are responsible for what you upload, so do not put anything there you do not have the right to.
Things not to do, in plain terms:
You can leave whenever you want. Settings, then Profile, then Delete account. It happens straight away and takes your onboarding answers and passkeys with it. Nothing to ask us for and nobody to talk to first.
We can suspend or close an account that breaks the rules above. Where it is reasonable to, we will tell you what happened and give you a chance to sort it out first. For anything involving other people getting hurt or the site being attacked, we will act immediately and explain afterwards.
We cannot promise you a job. The paths are built around what hiring managers actually ask for, and the portfolio work at the end is there so you have something to show. What happens after that depends on you, on the market and on a dozen things none of us control. Anyone promising you a hire is selling something.
We also cannot promise the site is always up or always right. We are a small team, this is pre-launch software, lessons get rewritten and features come and go. Do not build anything you cannot afford to lose on top of it.
Beyond that, the service is provided as it is, and as far as the law allows we are not liable for losses that follow from using it. Where we are liable, that liability is capped at what you have paid us, which right now is nothing. None of this takes away the rights you have as a consumer under Indian law, and nothing here is meant to.
When we change this page we change the date at the top. If a change actually affects you, for instance when we start charging for something, we will email account holders rather than quietly edit the page. Carrying on using the site after a change means you are fine with it.
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, including the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, and are applicable exclusively to users within India.
Anything here you want explained, or think is unfair, email mail@projectshift.app. The contact form reaches us too. We would rather hear about a problem than have you sit with it.
