Terms of Service

1. Programme Enrolment Terms

Payment

The programme fee is €499. Payment confirms your place in the cohort. All payments are processed securely via Stripe.

Refund Policy

Payment and refund terms depend on the payment option selected before enrolment. Founder's Cohort deposits are non-refundable but transferable to the next cohort. If SlieveTech cancels the cohort, students will receive a full refund.

Student Expectations

Students are expected to attend live sessions, actively build and deploy projects, complete weekly deliverables including GitHub commits and LinkedIn posts, and engage with the cohort community. The programme is build-led. Passive attendance does not meet the standard.

Project Ownership

Students retain full ownership of the projects they build during the programme and may use them for portfolios, job applications, and freelance work. SlieveTech may reference, learn from, and build upon project concepts, architectures, and approaches for internal development, training, and commercial purposes. This does not transfer ownership of the student's original code or repositories.

Public Portfolio Requirement

Participation in the programme includes building public proof of work. Students agree to publish GitHub repositories, deploy projects to live public URLs, and post LinkedIn updates documenting their build journey. This is a core programme requirement, not optional.

Conduct

SlieveTech reserves the right to remove any participant who is disruptive, abusive, or violates programme expectations. No refund will be issued in cases of removal for conduct.
