Terms of Service

By accessing or browsing Paradox (paradox.engineer), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you disagree with any part of these terms, you should discontinue use of the site immediately.

Paradox is a free, publicly accessible informational aggregator and discovery platform. We research, aggregate, curate, and verify promotional discounts, software grants, developer credits, student tiers, and cloud coupons across 150+ technology brands.

Paradox is not a direct retailer, software developer, or payment gateway. We do not sell software licenses directly to end-users. All software purchases, account activations, and credit applications are conducted directly on the official websites of the respective third-party merchants.

While we diligently verify deals through automated health checks and manual testing, third-party merchants may alter, revoke, pause, or expire promotions, pricing tiers, eligibility criteria, or coupon codes at their sole discretion at any time without notifying us.

• As-Is Basis: All content, coupons, links, and perk descriptions are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis with no warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
• Merchant Discretion: The terms, eligibility, refund policies, and pricing listed on the merchant’s official website always supersede any information presented on Paradox.
• Reporting Expired Deals: If you discover a promo code that is no longer honored or has expired, please report it via our Submit / Feedback tool so our editors can promptly update the catalog.

Paradox participates in affiliate marketing programs (including Cuelinks and direct merchant partner programs). Some outbound links may earn us an affiliate referral commission when you claim an offer or register for a service, at zero extra cost to you.

For a comprehensive breakdown of our commercial partnerships and strict editorial independence policy, please read our Affiliate Disclosure.

All company names, brand names, product logos, and registered trademarks featured on Paradox (including, without limitation, Claude, DigitalOcean, Vultr, AWS, PostHog, JetBrains, GitHub, and others) are the property of their respective owners.

Their inclusion on Paradox is solely for purposes of nominative fair use, truthful identification, editorial review, and comparative deal indexing. It does not imply affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement of Paradox by those trademark owners unless explicitly noted.

The Paradox name, website design, curation layout, and software codebase are protected by copyright and intellectual property laws.

When utilizing Paradox or submitting deals via our forms, you agree not to:

• Submit fraudulent, deceptive, pirated, or malicious coupon links, malware, or phishing campaigns.
• Submit spam or unauthorized multi-level marketing affiliate promotions.
• Deploy automated bots, spiders, or scrapers in an abusive manner that burdens site infrastructure.
• Attempt to bypass site security, exploit vulnerabilities, or disrupt normal server operation.

• Your access to or inability to access our directory.
