Temporary restriction of chat access, while the rest of the features remain active.

Account access is blocked for a set period, proportional to the severity of the offense.

Intellectual Property
Platform content: all texts, tutorials, images, source code, logos, design, mini-games and other original elements of Programando Web are the property of their creators and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Their reproduction, distribution or commercial use without express authorization is prohibited.
User-generated content: by publishing content on the platform (messages, comments, assignment solutions), you retain ownership of it, but you grant Programando Web a non-exclusive, free, worldwide license to display that content within the context of the platform, including its storage, display and moderation.
Third-party trademarks: the names and logos of Discord, Google, Instagram, X (Twitter) and other mentioned services are registered trademarks of their respective owners. Their mention does not imply affiliation with or endorsement by those brands.
Infringement notices: if you believe any content on the platform infringes your intellectual property rights, contact us describing the infringement and we will review it and, if applicable, remove it.
AI Assistant
Programando Web includes an AI assistant to help users with their programming questions. By using it, you accept that:
- The assistant's answers are for guidance only and may contain errors. They should not be taken as definitive professional advice.
- You must not use the assistant to generate harmful, illegal content or content that infringes third-party rights.
- Conversations with the assistant may be reviewed by the team to improve the service, always in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
- The assistant does not replace your own learning; it is meant to complement it, not as a shortcut to avoid personal effort.
- Misuse of the assistant (for example, attempting to generate prohibited content) may lead to the sanctions described in section 6.
Gamification System
The XP, level, achievement and ranking system of Programando Web is a platform feature designed to motivate learning, not an asset with monetary value. Therefore:
- Programando Web may modify, readjust or remove scores, achievements or levels at any time, especially to correct abuse or system errors.
- Points and achievements cannot be redeemed for money nor transferred to other platforms or accounts.
- The loss of XP, achievements or ranking position resulting from a sanction for breaking the rules does not give rise to any claim or compensation.

Programando Web reserves the right to:
- Modify, expand or reduce the platform's features at any time.
- Temporarily suspend the service for maintenance tasks, trying to minimize the impact on users and giving notice when possible.
- Permanently close the platform, giving notice at least 30 days in advance through the website itself and, where applicable, by email.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the service, although we work actively to maintain as much uptime as possible.

Programando Web is provided "as is", with no guarantees of continuous availability or absence of errors. Specifically:
- We are not liable for service interruptions due to maintenance, technical failures or force majeure.

- Your profile, activity history and messages will be deleted or anonymized within a maximum of 30 days.
- Technical access data will be retained for 3 months for security reasons.
- If your account was permanently banned, the record of that sanction may be kept to prevent further abusive re-registration.
Programando Web may also delete accounts that have been inactive for a long period, with prior email notification when possible.
