1. Purpose

Malware Analysis Academy is an educational platform designed to teach defensive malware analysis skills. All content, exercises, and sample references are provided exclusively for learning and professional development in cybersecurity defense.

2. Prohibited Use

You agree not to use this platform, its content, or any referenced malware samples for offensive purposes, unauthorized access, or any activity that violates applicable laws. Specifically, you must not:

Weaponize techniques or samples learned through this platform
Distribute malware samples to unauthorized parties
Use knowledge gained here for unauthorized penetration testing
Attempt to compromise systems without explicit authorization

3. Sample Handling Policy

All malware samples referenced on this platform are sourced from publicly available repositories. You must handle these samples only within isolated virtual machine environments with no network access to host systems. You accept full responsibility for the safe handling of any samples you download from external sources.

4. VM Isolation Requirement

Before accessing any sample references, you must complete the Safety Gate, which includes acknowledging that all analysis must be performed inside an isolated virtual machine. Failure to follow proper isolation procedures is done at your own risk.

5. Account Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account that violates these terms, particularly any misuse of malware samples or platform content for malicious purposes.

6. Limitation of Liability

This platform provides educational content on an "as-is" basis. We are not liable for any damages resulting from the use or misuse of information, techniques, or samples referenced on this platform. You assume all risk associated with malware analysis activities.

7. Refunds and the 30-day money-back guarantee

Not for you? Ask for a refund within 30 days and we will send your money back — no questions, no forms.

Finish a premium path in full within 60 days and still not feel ready for the work? Tell us and we will refund you, even past day 30.

The 30-day window runs from the date of purchase.
We do not ask why, and there is nothing to fill in — one email is enough.
The skill guarantee needs the work done: every lesson and every graded exercise in one premium path, completed within 60 days of purchase.
Refunds are returned to the original payment method by our payment provider, so the money goes back the way it came.
Cancel whenever you like — a cancelled subscription keeps its access until the end of the period you already paid for.

To claim either guarantee, email us from the address on your account via the contact page. Nothing in this section limits any statutory right of withdrawal or refund you hold under your local consumer law — where those rights are broader, they apply.

8. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. A change that reduces the guarantee above never applies to a purchase already made under the older terms.
