Terms of Service & Licence Agreement

These Terms of Service and End-User Licence Agreement (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you (the “user” or “you”) and Tahiri Idriss, an independent software developer based in Algeria (“we”, “us”, the “developer”), governing your download and use of the software application TD. Course Downloader and this website. Please read them carefully. If you do not agree, do not install or use the software.

1. Definitions

• “Software” — the TD. Course Downloader desktop application for Microsoft Windows, including its installer, updates, bundled components and documentation.
• “Licence key” — the alphanumeric code issued to you after purchase that activates a paid licence.
• “Licensing service” — the online service operated by the developer that verifies licence keys and keeps the free-plan download counter.
• “Course platform” — any third-party website or service that hosts online course or video content (for example, learning marketplaces and school platforms).
• “Content” — video lessons and related materials that you access through a course platform.

2. Acceptance and eligibility

By downloading, installing, activating or using the Software, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy and our Acceptable Use Policy, which are incorporated by reference.

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, and legally able to enter into a contract. If you use the Software on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to bind that organisation.

3. What the software is

The Software is a general-purpose download manager and file-organisation tool that runs locally on your computer. When you provide it with a link to Content that you are able to access, it retrieves the associated video files and saves them to a folder structure on your device for your personal offline use.

4. Licence grant

Subject to your continuous compliance with these Terms and, for a paid licence, payment of the applicable fee, the developer grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable licence to install and use the Software as follows:

• Paid licence. A one-time purchase that permits use of the Software on up to three (3) computers at a time, all used by the same person. The licence is issued in the name and to the email address you provide at purchase and is personal to that person. When three computers are active, no further computer can be activated until you free a slot using the Software’s built-in deactivation function; you can then activate the licence on a different computer.
• Trial licence. A time-limited licence as described in section 6.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved by the developer.

5. Licence validation and the online check

Activating a paid licence requires a one-time internet connection so the Software can verify the licence key with the licensing service. After activation, the Software stores a signed confirmation on your computer and works offline.

The Software periodically re-confirms the licence with the licensing service (approximately every seven days), with an additional grace period during which it continues to work offline. If the Software cannot reach the licensing service for an extended period beyond that grace window, or if the licence has been revoked, the Software will stop performing downloads until it can re-verify. Information exchanged during activation and re-checks is described in our Privacy Policy.

6. Free plan

Without a paid licence, the Software may be used on a free plan that allows you to start up to seven (7) videos within any rolling 24-hour period, with all features available. Your recent downloads are counted on your device and, when you are online, reconciled with the licensing service so that clearing local data does not raise the limit. When you reach the limit, the Software stops starting new downloads until enough time has passed for the count to fall back below seven, or until a valid licence key is entered; downloads already in progress, and your settings and history, are not affected. We may change the number of free videos, the window, or discontinue the free plan at any time, for future use.

7. Licence restrictions

You must not, and must not allow anyone else to:

• share, publish, sell, rent, lease, lend or sub-licence the Software or a licence key;
• use a single licence on more computers than permitted, or pool licence keys among multiple people;
• circumvent, disable, tamper with or attempt to defeat the licence validation, the free-plan download counter or any security feature of the Software or licensing service;
• modify, translate, adapt or create derivative works of the Software, or reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it, except to the limited extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction;
• remove, obscure or alter any proprietary notice, label or mark on the Software;
• use the Software to build a competing product, or for any unlawful purpose.

8. Your responsibilities and acceptable use

You are solely responsible for how you use the Software and for all Content you download with it. You agree to use the Software only in accordance with our Acceptable Use Policy, and in particular only to download Content that you have lawfully purchased, been enrolled in, or otherwise have a clear right to access, and only for your own personal, non-commercial offline use.

9. Third-party platforms and content

The Software is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by or connected to any course platform, and no such platform is responsible for it. All third-party names and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used only to describe compatibility.

Your use of any course platform is governed by that platform’s own terms. You are responsible for reviewing and complying with those terms and with all applicable copyright and other laws. We do not monitor, and are not responsible for, the Content you choose to access or how you use it.

10. Third-party and open-source components

The Software includes third-party components, some of which are open-source software provided under their own licences. Those components are used as separate programs and are described, with their licences and any required notices, in our Third-Party Software Notices. Your use of those components is subject to their respective licences.

11. Fees, payment and refunds

Paid licences are sold for a one-time fee stated at the point of purchase (currently USD 21 as a launch price; the standard price is USD 31). Prices may change for future purchases. Applicable taxes, duties or payment-processor fees may be added or deducted.

Orders are sold and processed by Paddle.com (Paddle.com Market Ltd, 30 Old Bailey, London EC4M 7AU, United Kingdom), which acts as our authorised reseller and Merchant of Record. Your purchase is also subject to Paddle’s buyer terms and privacy policy. Paddle issues the receipt, handles order-related enquiries, and processes any refund on our behalf in line with our Refund & Payment Policy.

Because the free plan lets you fully evaluate the Software before purchase, all sales are final and licence fees are non-refundable, except where a refund is required by applicable law or as expressly stated in our Refund & Payment Policy.

12. Intellectual property

The Software, the TD. Course Downloader name and logo, this website and all related materials are owned by the developer and are protected by copyright and other laws. Except for the licence expressly granted in section 4, nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual-property right to you.

If you send us feedback or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use them to improve the Software, with no obligation to you.

13. Updates and changes to the software

We may release updates, and a paid licence includes updates within the same major release series (V1.x). Future major versions may be offered as separate products requiring a new licence. We may change, suspend or discontinue any feature of the Software or licensing service at any time. We are not obliged to provide support, but we try to respond to reasonable requests by email.

14. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Software and the licensing service are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Software will work with any particular course platform or Content, that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, that any defect will be corrected, or that downloads will be complete or of any particular quality. Course platforms change frequently and may stop working with the Software at any time. You use the Software at your own risk.

15. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or content, arising out of or relating to the Software, the licensing service, this website or these Terms, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages;
• our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Software or these Terms will not exceed the amount you actually paid to us for the licence in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or USD 25 if you use the Software only on the free plan.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including any mandatory statutory rights you have as a consumer.

16. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the developer from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Software, your Content, or your breach of these Terms or of any third party’s rights or terms.

17. Suspension and termination

These Terms apply for as long as you use the Software. We may suspend or revoke your licence, with or without notice, if you materially breach these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy — for example by sharing a licence key, abusing the free plan, attempting to bypass the licence check or the free-plan counter, or initiating an unjustified payment chargeback.

On termination, the licence granted to you ends and you must stop using the Software and delete it. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including sections 8–9, 11–12 and 14–20) will survive. Revocation for breach does not entitle you to a refund.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top shows the latest version, which will be posted on this website. Material changes will take effect no sooner than 14 days after posting. Your continued use of the Software after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms; if you do not agree, stop using the Software.

19. Governing law and disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or the Software are governed by the laws of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The competent courts of Algeria will have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory right you may have as a consumer to bring proceedings in the courts of your own place of residence.

Before starting any formal proceedings, you agree to contact us first at the address below so we can try to resolve the matter informally.

20. General

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Refund & Payment Policy and Third-Party Software Notices, are the entire agreement between you and the developer regarding the Software and supersede any prior understanding.
• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect and the unenforceable provision is replaced by an enforceable one that most closely reflects its intent.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them to a successor of the Software.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
• Notices. We may give notice by posting on this website or emailing the address linked to your licence. You give notice to us by email at the address below.
• Language. These Terms are provided in English. Any translation is for convenience only; the English version prevails.
