Terms of use

Version 2026-10-06 · in effect from 6 October 2026

These terms are written in plain language. Part A is for learners. Part B is for anyone checking a YUNOVA certificate. You are asked to tick a box agreeing to them before you sign in and before you take a certificate.

Part A: for learners

1. What YUNOVA is

YUNOVA is a free learning website run by one person. It organises lessons into paths and adds key points, practice, quizzes, tests and an AI Mentor. It is not a school, college, university or exam board. There is no course fee, no subscription and no advertising by YUNOVA. Support payments (“buy us a coffee”) are voluntary, are not a purchase and unlock nothing.

YUNOVA एक मुफ़्त learning website है जो lessons को एक क्रम में रखती है; यह कोई school, college या university नहीं है।

2. Lessons come from independent creators

The lesson videos are made by independent creators and play in YouTube’s own player, under YouTube’s terms. YUNOVA does not own them and does not endorse everything a creator says or links to. A video may change, be removed or become unavailable at any time; whether a video is available is up to its creator and YouTube. We review and refresh video information regularly and try to replace a video that is no longer available, but cannot promise to do so at once.

YUNOVA uses YouTube API Services. By using YUNOVA you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service; see also the Google Privacy Policy. How creators can ask for a video to be removed or changed is in our content and copyright policy.

Videos स्वतंत्र YouTube creators के हैं; YUNOVA उनका मालिक नहीं है, और वे कभी भी बदल या हट सकते हैं।

3. Your own effort decides what you learn

We have organised lessons, key points, practice and tests intended to be enough to understand each skill at the level stated, but what you learn depends on your own attention, practice and time. Watching a video is not the same as being able to do the work. YUNOVA does not guarantee any outcome, job, income or exam result.

हमने lessons, key points, practice और tests इस तरह रखे हैं कि आप हर skill को बताए गए level तक समझ सकें, लेकिन आप कितना सीखते हैं यह आपके ध्यान, अभ्यास और समय पर निर्भर है। YUNOVA किसी नौकरी, कमाई या exam result की guarantee नहीं देता।

4. The AI Mentor

The AI Mentor is an AI system, not a person or a teacher. It can be wrong, incomplete or out of date, so check what it says. It gives up to 20 replies a day, is not available during tests, and does not keep a history of your conversation. Do not share personal, financial or health details with it.

AI Mentor एक AI है और गलत हो सकता है; इसकी बातों को जाँच लें। दिन में 20 जवाब तक, और कोई chat history नहीं रखी जाती।

5. Certificates

Where a skill offers one, a certificate records what you completed on YUNOVA: the topics, the topic tests and final test you passed and, where required, a practical project approved by YUNOVA. It is not an industry certification, licence, degree or accreditation, and it does not assess or certify your proficiency. Some skills do not issue certificates yet. See what a certificate means.

Certificate यह दर्ज करता है कि आपने YUNOVA पर क्या पूरा किया; यह कोई degree, licence या industry certification नहीं है।

6. Honest work

YUNOVA may revoke a certificate obtained dishonestly or by misusing the site.

Tests में नकल न करें, answers किसी से साझा न करें और project अपना खुद का बनाएँ। बेईमानी से लिया गया certificate रद्द किया जा सकता है।

7. Community

Be respectful. No harassment, hate, threats, sexual content, spam, scams, advertising, or sharing anyone’s personal details. Post only what you have the right to share; you are responsible for what you post. YUNOVA may hide or remove posts and limit accounts that break these rules. Use the report option on a post to tell us about a problem.

Community में सम्मान से बात करें; अपमान, spam, धोखा या किसी की निजी जानकारी साझा करना मना है।

8. Young learners

If you are under 18, please use YUNOVA with the knowledge and guidance of a parent or guardian, and do not share personal details in the community.

अगर आपकी उम्र 18 साल से कम है, तो कृपया माता-पिता या अभिभावक की जानकारी और मार्गदर्शन में YUNOVA का उपयोग करें।

9. Your account

You sign in with Google. Keep your account to yourself. You may delete your account, and everything attached to it, yourself and at any time from your profile; a certificate deleted with your account stops verifying. YUNOVA may suspend an account used to break these terms.

आप अपना account और उससे जुड़ा सब कुछ profile से कभी भी खुद delete कर सकते हैं।

10. Privacy

How YUNOVA handles your information is described in the privacy notice, written with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 in mind. In short: views and searches are counted in aggregate, a visitor-interest cookie remembers what you looked at, and there are no advertising trackers.

आपकी जानकारी कैसे रखी जाती है, यह Privacy notice में लिखा है।

11. Availability and changes

YUNOVA is provided as it is and as available. It may be down at times, and lessons, skills and features may change or end. When these terms change in a way that matters, the version above changes and you will be asked to agree again.

YUNOVA हमेशा बिना रुकावट चलने का वादा नहीं कर सकता; Terms बदलने पर आपसे फिर से सहमति माँगी जाएगी।

12. Responsibility

YUNOVA is free and offered in good faith. To the extent the law allows, YUNOVA is not responsible for loss arising from your use of the site, from third-party videos or links, or from decisions you or others make based on what you learned or on a certificate. Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under Indian consumer law or any other law that cannot be excluded.

कानून जितनी अनुमति देता है, उससे आगे YUNOVA नुकसान के लिए ज़िम्मेदार नहीं है; उपभोक्ता के रूप में आपके कानूनी अधिकार बने रहते हैं।

13. Law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of India. For a question, a complaint or to report misuse, write to helpyunova@gmail.com. See also the privacy notice.

ये Terms भारत के कानून के अधीन हैं। किसी प्रश्न या शिकायत के लिए नीचे दिए पते पर लिखें।

Part B: for people checking a certificate

What a YUNOVA certificate means

It means the named learner completed, on YUNOVA, the topics listed on the record, passed the topic tests and the final test for that level and, where the skill requires it, had a practical project approved by YUNOVA.

It does not mean the holder was examined under supervised conditions, holds a degree, licence, accreditation or industry certification, or can do the work to any particular standard. More: about YUNOVA certificates.

यह certificate बताता है कि learner ने YUNOVA पर क्या पूरा किया; यह उनकी क्षमता की guarantee नहीं है।

How to verify one

Scan the QR code on the certificate, or open /verify/ followed by its code. The page shows the record as it was frozen when the certificate was issued. “Record unchanged since issue” means the stored record still matches that snapshot exactly; if it does not, the page says so. A code that leads nowhere means there is no such certificate, or it was deleted.

Your decisions are your own

The holder’s privacy

A verify page shows only what the certificate itself shows: the holder’s name, the skill, the level, what was completed and when. It shows nothing else about them, and these pages are not listed by search engines.

Report suspected misuse

If you think a certificate is misused, belongs to someone else or was obtained dishonestly, write to helpyunova@gmail.com with its code. YUNOVA will look into it and may revoke the certificate.
