By purchasing, accessing, or using any product or service offered through Rational School ("the Services"), including via rational.school or any third-party platform used for delivery or payment (such as Gumroad), you agree to the following Terms & Conditions.
"Services" includes all digital courses, coaching programmes, materials, and any other products offered under the Rational School brand, regardless of the platform or method through which they are sold or delivered. Where a third-party platform (such as Gumroad) acts as the Merchant of Record for a transaction, that platform is the legal seller and is responsible for payment processing, transaction-related tax compliance, and payment dispute resolution. The instructor remains responsible for the content, delivery of materials, and these Terms. Coaching engagements are subject to a separate agreement signed by both parties before the engagement begins. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a signed coaching agreement, the signed agreement shall prevail.
All Services are provided for educational and informational purposes only. Nothing provided constitutes legal, employment, financial, or professional advice. No guarantees are made regarding hiring outcomes, job offers, compensation, or career advancement.
Results vary based on individual experience, effort, market conditions, and other factors beyond our control. No Service promises or guarantees any specific outcome, including but not limited to job placement, interviews, or salary levels. Any statistics, figures, or success rates referenced in our materials reflect historical outcomes and are not a guarantee of future results.
You acknowledge and agree that:
To the extent permitted by applicable law, all Services are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will produce any particular result.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, income, employment, data, or business opportunities, arising out of or in connection with your use of any Service. Our total aggregate liability for any and all claims arising out of or related to any Service shall not exceed the amount you paid for the specific Service giving rise to the claim.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Nothing in these Terms is intended to affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
You may request a full refund of the course purchase price within fourteen (14) days of purchase. Refund requests must be submitted by replying to the download email received at the time of purchase. Refunds are processed through the platform used for the original transaction, in accordance with that platform's policies.
After the 14-day period, all course sales are final, subject to your statutory rights.
Issuing a refund does not constitute an admission of fault, liability, or guarantee of outcomes.
Coaching engagements are governed by a separate signed agreement which sets out all applicable terms, including payment, cancellation, and refund provisions. That agreement must be executed by both parties before any coaching engagement begins.
All content delivered through any Service — including but not limited to videos, audio, slides, templates, documents, strategies, frameworks, outreach scripts, resume templates, coaching materials, and any other materials provided — is the exclusive intellectual property of the instructor and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
Your purchase grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the content for your own personal, non-commercial purposes only. This licence does not transfer any ownership of the content to you.
You may not, without the instructor's prior written permission:
Unauthorised use of any content constitutes copyright infringement and a breach of these Terms. We reserve the right to pursue all available legal remedies, including but not limited to injunctive relief, damages, and recovery of legal costs. Breach of this section will result in immediate termination of access to all Services without refund.
Your participation in any Service does not create an employment, legal advisory, consulting, fiduciary, or therapeutic relationship between you and the instructor. Coaching constitutes an educational and strategic mentorship engagement only.
Any examples, scenarios, statistics, or anecdotes shared through any Service are generalised and illustrative. They are based on personal experience, historical outcomes, or hypothetical situations. No confidential, proprietary, or employer-restricted information is shared.
We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to any Service, without refund or credit, if you breach these Terms, engage in abusive or harassing behaviour, misuse the content or materials provided, or attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or systematically download any Service content.
Before initiating any formal legal proceedings relating to these Terms or any Service, you agree to first notify us in writing and allow thirty (30) days to resolve the matter informally. Written notice must be sent by email to the contact address provided at the time of purchase. This requirement does not prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief where necessary.
We shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms where the delay or failure results from any cause beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, pandemic, internet or platform outages, or government actions.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
These Terms, together with any signed coaching agreement where applicable, constitute the entire agreement between you and Rational School with respect to the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, or agreements, whether oral or written.
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be posted with an updated date and, where reasonably practicable, notified to active customers via email. Continued use of any Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. Changes do not apply retrospectively to Services already purchased. If you do not agree with any changes, you may discontinue use of the Services.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. If you are accessing the Services from outside England and Wales, you are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws. Nothing in these Terms shall deprive you of any mandatory consumer protections granted to you under the laws of your country of residence.
By purchasing, enrolling in, or accessing any Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms & Conditions.
