Mentor (https://mentoring.abstractly.dev) is a 1-2-1 engineering mentorship platform: scheduling, curriculum, homework, feedback, and progress tracking shared between a mentor and their clients. These terms are an agreement between you and Abstractly, the operator of Mentor. By signing in you accept them.
Accounts are created by invitation only: mentors are invited by the platform's administrators, clients by their mentor. You are responsible for keeping your password to yourself and for what happens under your sign-in. Tell us at jake.brown@abstractly.dev if you believe your account has been compromised.
The platform records a coaching engagement; it is not a party to it. Fees, scheduling commitments, and outcomes are matters between mentor and client. Session allowances shown in the product are a record of what has been agreed, not a payment instrument: no money moves through Mentor.
Write-ups, notes, submissions, and reviews belong to the people who wrote them. You grant us the licence needed to store that content and display it to the people the product is designed to show it to, and nothing more. A mentor's private session notes are visible only to that mentor. We do not use your content for advertising or to train machine-learning models.
Do not misuse the service: no attempting to access accounts or data that are not yours, no probing, scanning, or disrupting the infrastructure, no using the platform to harass anyone, and no storing content that is unlawful or infringes someone else's rights. We may suspend accounts that do.
Optional integrations, such as Google Calendar, are governed by their own terms with you. How Mentor uses data from them is described in the privacy policy.
The service is provided as it stands, without warranties, and features may change as it evolves. To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability arising from the service is limited to the amount you have paid us for it in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
You may stop using the service at any time and ask for your data to be deleted, as described in the privacy policy. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms, and will say why unless the law prevents it.
If these terms change materially we will update them here and change the date at the top. These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
