Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

These terms apply to everyone who uses vene.win, run by Tio Vené. By using the site, you agree to them and to the Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the site.

If you are a minor, use the site with the knowledge and permission of your parent or legal guardian, who also accepts these terms on your behalf.

2. What vene.win offers

• Information about Tio Vené's private technology lessons and a form to request a lesson.
• A public calendar of olympiads, hackathons and competitions, with the same data in open format (/api/competicoes.json).
• A study platform for students, with sign-in through Google.
• Information about ACSL mentoring and study groups in Brazil.

3. Private lessons

• Lessons are contracted directly with Tio Vené. Prices, schedule, format, payment method, rescheduling and cancellation are agreed individually and confirmed in writing (email or WhatsApp).
• Payment can be made through an InfinitePay charge link (Pix or card) created by Tio Vené. It happens on InfinitePay's website, under its terms; vene.win stores only the confirmation and sends a receipt by email. That receipt is not a tax invoice (nota fiscal).
• Sending the form creates no obligation to contract, for you or for Tio Vené.
• For contracts made at a distance, you may withdraw within 7 days, as provided by Brazil's Consumer Protection Code (art. 49), in addition to any other consumer rights under the law of your country.
• Competition results depend on each student's effort and can't be guaranteed.

4. Competition calendar

• Dates are checked against official sources, but organizers may change them at any time. Estimates ("usually held in…") are only forecasts.
• Always confirm on the official website before registering, paying or traveling. vene.win is not responsible for organizers' registrations, deadlines or decisions.
• vene.win is not affiliated with the organizers of the competitions listed, except where stated, such as the ACSL partnership with Clube Amplexo Educação. Names and trademarks belong to their owners.

5. Account and platform access

• Access is through your Google account. Keep it secure and don't share access.
• Each account is personal, and you are responsible for what is done with it.
• Accounts for users under 18 require a guardian's permission; children under 13 may only use the platform with a parent's or guardian's consent.
• You can ask to close your account at any time by writing to [email protected].
• We may suspend or close accounts used in breach of these terms, notifying the account holder when possible.

6. Acceptable use

When using vene.win, you agree not to:

• use the site for unlawful purposes or in ways that violate other people's rights;
• try to access restricted areas, bypass security or exploit vulnerabilities (if you find one, please report it to [email protected]);
• overload the site with excessive automated requests (for calendar data, use /api/competicoes.json);
• send false, offensive or spam content through the form, or other people's data without permission.

7. Intellectual property

• The texts, lesson materials, site design and the Bit robot belong to Tio Vené or their respective authors and are protected by Brazil's Copyright Law (Law No. 9,610/1998) and international treaties.
• Students may use the materials to study, but may not resell, publish or distribute them without permission.
• Projects created by students belong to the students themselves.
• Calendar data may be reused with attribution (vene.win). The dates themselves are information from each competition's organizers.

8. Third-party services

Sign-in uses Google, payments use InfinitePay, email notifications are sent through Gmail, and the calendar links to third-party websites. Using those services is subject to their own terms and policies, and vene.win is not responsible for their content.

9. Availability and changes

We do our best to keep the site online, but it may be unavailable for maintenance or because of failures. We may change, suspend or discontinue parts of the site; if a change affects students with arranged lessons, we will let them know in advance.

10. Liability

The site's informational content, such as the calendar, is provided as is, with no guarantee that it is always complete or up to date. To the extent permitted by law, vene.win is not liable for indirect damages arising from the use of this information.

Nothing in these terms limits the rights the law gives you as a consumer, such as those under Brazil's Consumer Protection Code or the consumer protection laws of your country.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the version in force; important changes will be announced on the site. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the new version.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of Brazil. If you are a consumer, you may bring claims in the courts where you live (Brazilian Consumer Protection Code, art. 101, I). Consumers in other countries keep the mandatory protections of their local laws.
