Terms of Use

Last updated: 5 August 2026

This is the agreement between you and Byte for using the app and this website. It is written to be read, not to be impressive. By creating an account or using Byte, you accept it.

1. Who this is with

Byte is operated by MINT LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company, United States. In these terms, "we" and "us" mean that company, and "you" means the person using Byte.

What Byte is: fifteen ordered modules of Python interview preparation, each with a guided lesson and multiple choice questions with explanations, plus progress tracking (XP, streaks, badges, ranks and practice time), provided as an auto-renewing membership. Byte needs an internet connection; its content is served from our systems and is not available offline.

How we handle your information is set out separately in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of this agreement.

2. Your account

You must be at least 13 years old to use Byte. You need an account to use it, created with an email address and password; Apple and Google sign-in are available for signing back into an existing account. You agree to give accurate details, to keep your password to yourself, and to tell us if you think someone else is using your account. You are responsible for what happens under your account.

One account per person. Do not share it, sell it, or let anyone else use it.

You may delete your account at any time from Settings inside the app. That is a real deletion, and what happens to your information is described in the Privacy Policy.

3. Membership and billing

Byte is a paid membership. All fifteen modules and every feature are included in it, and nothing else is sold inside the app.

• Apple takes the payment, not us. Your membership is billed to your App Store account and appears on your Apple receipt. We never see your card details.
• It renews automatically until you cancel. The price, the billing period, and any introductory offer are shown to you on the membership screen before you commit, and again by Apple at the point of purchase.
• If a free trial is offered, it converts to a paid membership at the end of the trial unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.
• To cancel, use your App Store subscription settings. Cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. We cannot cancel it for you, because we are not the ones billing you.
• Refunds are handled by Apple under its own policies. We do not process refunds for App Store purchases.
• If you already paid but the app does not recognise it, use Restore purchases in Settings.

We may change the price of the membership. If we do, the new price applies from your next renewal, and you will be told in advance and given the chance to cancel before it takes effect.

4. Your licence to use Byte

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Byte on devices you own or control, for your own learning. That licence lasts as long as this agreement does.

We keep everything we have not explicitly given you. Nothing here transfers ownership of anything.

5. Acceptable use

Please do not:

• Copy, extract, scrape or republish Byte's lessons, questions, explanations or artwork, whether by hand or with automated tools.
• Reverse engineer, decompile or try to derive the source of the app, except where the law says you may.
• Interfere with our servers, bypass the membership, or try to reach parts of the service you have not paid for.
• Use Byte to build a competing product, or to train a machine learning model on its content.
• Use Byte in a way that breaks the law, or that harms other people using it.

6. Our content

The lessons, tours, questions, explanations, the Byte name, the koala mascot, and the design of the app and this site belong to us or to our licensors, and are protected by copyright and trade mark law.

Code examples in Byte teach standard, widely known programming techniques. Nothing stops you from using what you learn in your own work. What you may not do is take our material and redistribute it.

Byte does not have public posting, comments, or user uploads, so you are not giving us a licence to any content of yours by using it.

If you send us feedback, suggestions or bug reports, by email or otherwise, we may use them to improve Byte without restriction, compensation, or any obligation of confidentiality. That covers the idea you send, never your personal information, which stays governed by the Privacy Policy.

7. What Byte does not promise

Byte is study material. It does not guarantee that you will pass an interview, be offered a job, or earn any particular amount. The earning projection shown during setup is an illustration built from the answers you gave, not a forecast, an offer, or advice.

Byte is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Apple, Google, or any company whose interview process it helps you prepare for. Any company or product names are used only to describe what Byte teaches.

8. Warranties

We provide Byte with reasonable skill and care, and we want it to work well. Beyond that, and to the extent the law allows, Byte is provided as it is. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error free, or that every answer and explanation is free of mistakes. If you spot something wrong, tell us and we will fix it.

If you are a consumer, you have legal rights that these terms do not affect. Nothing here removes or limits those rights.

9. Liability

We do not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Subject to that, we are not liable for loss of profit, loss of opportunity, or any indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability to you in any twelve month period is limited to the amount you paid us for Byte in that period.

10. Ending this agreement

You can end it at any time by deleting your account in Settings. Cancel the membership separately in your App Store settings: deleting your account does not cancel the membership, and cancelling the membership does not delete your account.

We can suspend or close your account immediately, without warning, if you break these terms or use Byte dishonestly: for example fraud or payment abuse, trying to bypass the membership, attacking or overloading our systems, scraping or redistributing our content, or any illegal activity. For minor breaches we may warn you first, but we are not required to. We can also close accounts where the law requires it.

If we ever close your account without cause, we will tell you why and help you seek a refund of the unused part of your membership from Apple, which processes all payments and refunds.

If Byte is ever discontinued, we will give reasonable notice so you can cancel before your next renewal, and we will support any refund request you make to Apple for time you paid for but did not get.

11. Terms that concern Apple

These terms are between you and us. They are not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible for Byte or its content. Specifically:

• Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for Byte. If you need help, contact us.
• If Byte fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may tell Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to Byte.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim you or anyone else has about Byte, including product liability claims, any claim that Byte fails to conform to a legal requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar law.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for investigating and resolving any third-party claim that Byte infringes that party's intellectual property rights.
• You confirm that you are not in a country subject to a United States embargo or designated as a terrorist-supporting country, and that you are not on any United States list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and on your acceptance of them Apple has the right to enforce them against you.

12. Changes

We may update these terms. If a change materially affects your rights, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use Byte after that means you accept the change. If you do not accept it, delete your account and cancel the membership.

13. Governing law and general terms

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, United States, without regard to its conflict of law rules. The state and federal courts located in Connecticut have exclusive jurisdiction, and you and we both consent to that. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country you live in, and you may bring proceedings there.

Talk to us first. If you have a dispute, email support@minttech.org before taking any formal step. Most problems are fixable in a reply, and we will try to resolve yours within 30 days. Nothing in this paragraph takes away your right to go to court or to small claims court.

General terms. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about Byte. If part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands. If we do not enforce a term, we are not giving it up. You cannot transfer this agreement to anyone else; we may transfer it if Byte changes hands, and the promises in it bind whoever takes over. Any part of these terms that by its nature should outlive the agreement, such as the sections on our content, disclaimers, liability and this one, survives it.
