Terms of use
Last updated 30 October 2026
In short
- Cintax is for learning: practise honestly and don't misuse the code checker.
- Your code stays yours. Our problems, hints and site stay ours.
- Colleges have a separate agreement with us that covers their students' access.
- We work hard to keep Cintax running, but we can't promise it will never go down.
Agreeing to these terms
By creating an account or using cintax.in, you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you don't agree, please don't use Cintax. In these terms, "we" means Cintax and "you" means the person using it.
Your account
- Give your real name and an email address you can access.
- Keep your password to yourself. You're responsible for what happens under your account.
- One account per person. Don't share accounts or use someone else's.
- If you think someone else has used your account, write to hello@cintax.in.
Using Cintax fairly
Cintax runs your code on our servers so it can check it. To keep it fast and safe for everyone, you agree not to:
- try to harm, overload or break into our servers or the code checker, or use them for anything other than solving Cintax problems (for example, mining, attacking other systems or sending spam),
- run code automatically with scripts or bots,
- try to get the hidden tests, other students' code or other people's data,
- copy and publish our problems, hints or solutions elsewhere,
- use Cintax to cheat in an exam or assessment where that isn't allowed.
We limit how often code can be run, and we may suspend accounts that break these rules.
Who owns what
- Your code is yours. You give us permission to store it, run it and show it to you (and to your faculty, if you joined through your college), and to use it without your name to improve Cintax.
- Cintax is ours. The problems, hints, explanations, design and software belong to Cintax. You can use them for your own learning.
Colleges
When a college buys Cintax for its students, the college's agreement with us (including the price and what's included) applies along with these terms. If there's a conflict, the college agreement wins for that college's students.
Payments
Student use is free at the moment. If we introduce paid plans, the price and what you get will be shown clearly before you pay, and these terms will be updated.
The AI tutor
Hints from the AI tutor are generated automatically. They're meant to guide you and can sometimes be wrong. Always check your own understanding.
Availability and changes
We work to keep Cintax available and correct, but it's provided "as is". We can't promise it will always be available, error-free or suitable for a particular purpose. We may change or remove features over time. To the extent the law allows, we're not responsible for indirect losses from using Cintax, and our total responsibility to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the last 12 months.
Ending your use
You can stop using Cintax at any time and ask us to delete your account. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms.
Changes to these terms
If we change these terms, we'll update the date at the top. If a change is important, we'll tell you in the app or by email before it applies.
Law
These terms are governed by the laws of India.
