2. Educational purpose

Whonix Course is an educational platform about digital privacy, Linux, Whonix, Tor networking, virtualization, and defensive security. The course is a reading and lab programme; it is not an accredited qualification and does not issue certificates.

3. Applications and accounts

Applying for the course is free and does not create an obligation for either side. After an application is reviewed, an invitation link is sent to the email address given in the form. The link lets the applicant create an account and reach the lesson pages. Keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account. You must be at least 16 years old to apply or create an account.

4. No payments

All content is free. There is no checkout and no recurring billing. See the pricing and refunds page.

5. Acceptable use

The course is for defensive and educational use. Use the labs only on systems you own or are explicitly authorized to assess. Do not use the material for unauthorized access, fraud, harassment, or to harm others. We may close an account that does. Course material is protected by copyright and is for your own use. Do not resell or republish it.

6. No guarantee of anonymity

The course teaches methods and their limits. It does not guarantee a particular result, including anonymity or safety in any specific situation. It is not legal advice. You are responsible for following the laws that apply to you.

7. Liability

We are not liable for indirect damage. This does not limit liability for intent or gross negligence, or any rights you have as a consumer that cannot be excluded by law.

8. Complaints

Send complaints to info@whonixcourse.eu.

9. Law

Dutch law applies. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country you live in, and you may bring a dispute before the courts there.
