Copyright & Terms of Use — Applied Coding

1What we own

the written guides: their text, structure, explanations, examples, tables, captions and step lists;
the videos, animations and every still image taken from them;
the illustrations, diagrams, thumbnails, channel art and the design of this site;
the characters — the narrator in the green hoodie, his friend, and the other cast — and the stories they appear in (the coin machine, the street of houses, the store shelf, the window on the row, and so on);
the interactive labs on the guide pages and the code that runs them.

Publishing something on the open web does not give up any of these rights. Unless a part of a page says otherwise, no licence to reuse it is granted.

2What you are welcome to do

Read, watch and learn from everything here, for free, as often as you like.
Link to any page or video, from anywhere, without asking.
Share a page or a video using the share features of the site you are on (a link, a YouTube share or embed through YouTube's own player).
Quote a short excerpt — a sentence or two, or a single figure — in a review, an answer, a discussion or a class, as long as you name Applied Coding and link back to the page it came from.
Print or save a page for your own personal study.
Teachers and study groups may show a guide or a video in class and point students to it. For handouts or anything beyond a short excerpt, ask first — we usually say yes.

3The code examples

The short Python programs in the guides exist so you can learn from them and use them. You may copy, run, change and use the code examples in your own programs, exercises and solutions, with or without credit.

That permission covers the code itself, not the guide around it: it does not let you republish the explanations, figures or page layout together with the code.

4What is not allowed

Without written permission from Applied Coding HQ, you may not:

copy or republish a guide, in whole or in large part, on another website, blog, course, newsletter, e-book, slide deck or social media post — including in translation or "rewritten in your own words" while following the same structure, examples and figures;
clone or mirror this site, its design or its pages, or frame them inside another site;
re-upload the videos, in full or in clips, on any platform, or use them in compilations, reaction videos beyond fair commentary, or paid courses;
use the characters, illustrations or still images in your own content, products, merchandise, thumbnails or advertising;
scrape or bulk-download the site with automated tools, or use its text, images, videos or audio to build a dataset or to train or fine-tune machine-learning or AI models;
remove or hide the copyright notice, credits or links from anything you are allowed to share;
present our work as yours, or suggest that Applied Coding endorses you, your product or your course.

Using the site in any of these ways ends your permission to use it, and we may take action to have the copy removed.

5Names, logo and characters

"Applied Coding", "Applied Coding HQ", the logo, the narrator character and the look of the channel identify our work. Please don't use them in a way that could make people think something comes from us or is approved by us.

6Other people's names and problems

The guides explain well-known algorithmic patterns using classic programming problems. The names of companies, platforms and products mentioned anywhere on this site are the property of their owners and are used only to identify them. Applied Coding is an independent project and is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any of them. See the disclaimer for more.

7Reporting a copy

If you find our work copied somewhere it shouldn't be — a cloned page, a re-uploaded video, our characters in someone else's thumbnail — we'd be grateful to hear about it. Send the link to the copy and the link to our original through the contact options on our YouTube channel's About page.

If you believe something on this site uses your work without permission, contact us the same way, with a link to the page and to your original, and we will look at it promptly.

8Changes to these terms

We may update this page as the site grows. The date at the top shows the latest version. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
