Terms of Service

1. About this site

CodeUnit is a personal portfolio, blog, and digital products platform operated by an independent developer based in Mombasa, Kenya. The site allows visitors to read articles, learn about services, and purchase downloadable digital products including source code, templates, and documentation.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or make a purchase. By using this site you confirm that you meet this requirement. If you are using the site on behalf of a company or organisation, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that entity to these terms.

3. User accounts

Registration

You may register for a free account to access premium content, track orders, and manage downloads. You agree to provide accurate, current information and to keep it updated.

Account security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at admin@codeunit.dev if you suspect unauthorised access.

Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or permanently delete accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or are inactive for more than two years. You may delete your own account at any time from your profile settings.

4. Purchases and payments

Payment methods

We accept M-Pesa (Lipa na M-Pesa), Visa/Mastercard via Stripe, and PayPal. All transactions are processed securely by these third-party payment providers. We do not store card numbers or M-Pesa PINs.

Pricing and currency

Prices are displayed in Kenyan Shillings (KES) by default with approximate conversions shown in USD, EUR, and GBP. The amount charged will be the KES price at the time of purchase. Currency conversion rates are approximate and may differ from your bank's rate.

Order confirmation

A purchase is complete when payment is confirmed by the payment processor and you receive an order confirmation email. We reserve the right to cancel orders in cases of pricing errors, technical faults, or suspected fraud.

Taxes

Prices shown do not include VAT or any local taxes that may apply in your country. You are responsible for any applicable taxes in your jurisdiction.

5. Digital products and downloads

Upon successful payment you will receive a secure download link by email. Download links are valid for 48 hours and allow up to 3 downloads per purchase. If your link expires before you complete a successful download, contact us at admin@codeunit.dev and we will reissue it.

The licence granted upon purchase is governed by the User Licence Agreement, which forms part of these Terms of Service.

6. Refund policy

When refunds are not available
