Terms of use

Last updated 23 October 2026.

1. About these terms

Root (rootlearn.com) is part of OpenBootcamp (theopenbootcamp.com), which is run by M3V Technologies Private Limited, Pune, Maharashtra, India. In these terms, “Root”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean M3V Technologies Private Limited. “You” means the person using Root.

These terms, our privacy policy and our cookie policy form one agreement between you and us. By signing in, creating an account or using Root, you agree to all of them. If you do not agree, do not use Root.

2. Who can use Root

  • You must be 18 or older, or use Root with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who accepts these terms for you.
  • Give accurate details when you sign up and keep them current.
  • One account per person. Accounts cannot be shared, sold or transferred.
  • Temporary or disposable email addresses are not allowed. We may close accounts created with them.

3. Your account

Keep access to your email and sign-in providers secure. You are responsible for everything done through your account. Tell us at support@rootlearn.com as soon as you think someone else has used it.

4. Root Pro, payments and no refunds

  • Some lessons are open with an account. The rest, and unlimited lab machine time, need a Root Pro subscription. Current prices are on the Root Pro page.
  • Root Pro is billed yearly in US dollars, and the price shown includes taxes. Any amount shown in another currency is an estimate; your bank or card provider sets the final converted amount and may add its own fees. Root Pro renews automatically each year until you cancel.
  • You can cancel at any time from your account page. You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for, and you are not charged again.
  • All payments are final. There are no refunds of any kind, including for partial periods, unused time, unused lessons, a change of mind or an account suspended for breaking these terms, except where a refund is required by law.
  • We may change prices. A new price applies from your next renewal and we will tell you before it does.

5. Courses change

We intend to change and upgrade the courses on a regular basis. We may add, rewrite, move or remove lessons, units, labs and courses, and change which lessons are open and which need Root Pro. We do not promise that any particular lesson, lab or feature will stay available.

6. Educational material only

Root provides educational teaching material only. Nothing on Root is professional, legal or security advice for your own systems. Lessons explain how systems are attacked so that you can defend them. You alone decide how you use what you learn, and you are responsible for following the law where you live.

7. Acceptable use

No user shall misuse the platform. In particular, you must not:

  • Use Root, its lab machines or anything you learn here against any system, network, device, account or person you do not own or do not have written permission to test.
  • Jailbreak, root or bypass the security of devices or services you are not authorised to modify, or use course material to commit any crime.
  • Attack, probe or overload Root, break out of a lab machine, reach another learner’s machine or data, or get around the paywall, usage limits, rate limits or sign-up checks.
  • Use lab machines for anything other than the course exercises, such as mining, sending spam, hosting content or attacking others.
  • Use bots, scrapers, crawlers, spiders, browser automation or any other automated means to access, crawl, download or collect Root or its content, except public search engines that follow our robots.txt.
  • Copy, reproduce, mirror, republish, sell, translate, rewrite or otherwise reuse Root or its content, including lessons, questions, answers, labs, figures and code, in whole or in part, or use it to build or train another product, course or AI model.
  • Share your account, or share Root Pro content with people who do not have it.
  • Upload malware, impersonate anyone, harass anyone, or use Root for anything unlawful.

8. Our content and trademarks

Root, its design and all course material belong to M3V Technologies Private Limited or its licensors and are protected by the Copyright Act, 1957 and other laws. We give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to view the material for your own learning while your account is in good standing. Nothing else is licensed to you. “Root” and “OpenBootcamp” and their logos are our marks and cannot be used without our written permission.

We may also, without notice and without refund, suspend or close any account that breaks these terms, remove content, block access, and share information with law enforcement where the law allows or requires it.

10. Cancelling and deleting your account

  • Cancel Root Pro at any time from your account page.
  • To delete your account, email us at support@rootlearn.com from the address on the account. You can also delete it yourself from your account page once Root Pro is cancelled. Deletion removes your progress and cannot be undone.
  • Sections 4, 7 to 9 and 13 to 21 continue to apply after your account ends.

11. Reporting security issues

If you find a security problem in Root, email support@rootlearn.com with the details and do not use it, share it or access other people’s data. Acting in good faith this way is not a breach of section 7.

12. Third-party services and links

Root uses third parties for sign-in, hosting, lab machines and payments, and lessons link to other websites. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, availability or practices. Their own terms apply when you use them.

13. Disclaimer of warranties

Root, its content and its lab machines are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness and non-infringement. We do not promise that Root will be uninterrupted, without errors or secure, that content is current or correct, or that completing a course will get you a job, a certification or any other result.

14. Limitation on liability

We provide educational teaching material only. To the fullest extent the law allows, M3V Technologies Private Limited, OpenBootcamp, and their directors, employees and partners are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss or damage arising from your use of Root or its content, or from your inability to use it. This includes, without limitation:

  • damage to, or jailbreaking or rooting of, any device, and any warranty you lose by doing so;
  • hacking or unauthorised access carried out by you or anyone else using what they learned here;
  • legal action, fines or penalties brought against you;
  • loss of data, revenue, profit, business, employment or opportunity;
  • emotional distress, anxiety or any other personal harm.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability for all claims is limited to the amount you paid us in the six months before the event that gave rise to the claim.

15. Indemnity

You agree to defend and compensate M3V Technologies Private Limited for any claim, loss, damage or cost, including reasonable legal fees, that arises from your breach of these terms, your misuse of Root, or your use of anything you learned here against any system or person.

16. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to section 17, the courts at Pune, State of Maharashtra, India have exclusive jurisdiction over every dispute arising from or relating to these terms or Root, and all legal proceedings will be held there.

17. Arbitration; class action waiver

  • Talk to us first. Before starting any proceeding, email support@rootlearn.com describing the dispute. Both sides will try in good faith to settle it within 30 days.
  • Arbitration. A dispute that is not settled will be referred to final and binding arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, by a sole arbitrator appointed by both sides together, or failing agreement, under that Act. The seat and venue of arbitration is Pune, Maharashtra, and the language is English.
  • Individual claims only. To the fullest extent the law allows, disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis. You agree not to bring, join or take part in any class, collective or representative action against us.
  • Either side may ask the courts at Pune for urgent interim relief, and a dispute that by law cannot be arbitrated will be heard by those courts.

18. Limitation on time to file claims

To the fullest extent the law allows, any claim arising from or relating to these terms or Root must be started within six (6) months after the cause of action arises. Otherwise, the claim is permanently barred.

19. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows the latest version. We will tell Root Pro members about material changes by email before they apply. Continuing to use Root after a change means you accept it.

20. General

  • If any part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest stays in effect, and that part is applied as far as the law allows.
  • Not enforcing a right now does not waive it later.
  • You may not transfer your rights under these terms. We may transfer ours to a group company or a successor.
