1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing, browsing, or utilizing the services, point engines, simulation grids, and visual catalog systems available on ArcadePoints Calc, you unequivocally agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service and all applicable local, national, and international laws. If you disagree with any portion of these binding conditions, you are strictly prohibited from utilizing the points calculator, accessing the resource catalogs, or reading our student guide pages.
2. Permitted Use & Use License
Permission is granted to temporarily access and execute the points calculator scripts for personal, non-commercial educational purposes. This represents the grant of a temporary, non-transferable license, not a transfer of ownership or title. Under this use license, you explicitly agree that you will not:
- Modify, clone, translate, or copy the Next.js visual assets, styling tokens, or calculations logic.
- Utilize the points calculation system or companion resource lists for commercial monetization projects.
- Attempt to reverse engineer, compile, or extract the client-side parsing modules or database fetch routines.
- Deploy automated web-scraping scripts, bots, or denial-of-service processes targeting our real-time profile lookup endpoints.
- Hot-link directly to our parsed resource assets or wrap the point engine in external framing tools without attribution.
3. User Representations & Profile URLs
When submitting a Google Cloud Skills Boost profile URL into the calculator input box, you represent that the URL is public and that your actions do not violate the terms of service of Google Cloud, Qwiklabs, or any local school or campus organizations. You understand that entering third-party public URLs is permitted solely for educational assessment and milestone practice.
4. Limitation of Liability & Warranty Exclusion
The point calculations, cohort milestone projections, legacy trivia rules, and walkthrough links are provided strictly on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" operational baseline. We make no warranties, explicit or implied, regarding the 100% precision, synchronicity, or completeness of the scoring data.
In no event shall ArcadePoints Calc, its founders, developer team, or contributors (including the GCP DECODE platform) be held liable for any damages (including, without limitation, account termination on Qwiklabs, points discrepancies, missing facilitator milestones, or missing swag tier rewards) arising out of the use or inability to use the tools on this website.
