These terms are the agreement between you and Passdown. Please read them before you use it.
1. About Passdown
Passdown (passdown.space) is a site for students: permanent course pages where students share what they know, year after year, alongside profiles and personal timetables. Passdown is run by Amit Kerub ("we", "us").
Passdown is independent. It isn't run by, affiliated with, or endorsed by any academic institution, including the ones whose students use it, and its information isn't the institution's official information.
2. Agreeing to these terms
By signing up for Passdown or using it, you agree to these terms and to the Content and takedown policy, which is part of them, and you confirm that you've read the Privacy policy. If you don't agree, don't use Passdown.
3. Who can use Passdown
- Students of an institution Passdown supports, who sign up with their institutional email address.
- Passdown is for people 18 and over. If you're under 18, you may use it only with the consent of a parent or guardian.
- One account per person, in your own name. Don't let anyone else use your account or your sign-in codes, and tell us at once if you think someone did.
- You sign in with a code sent to your institutional mailbox, or with your institution's Google account. If you lose access to them, for example when your studies end, you may lose access to your account too.
4. Your profile
- Your profile shows your real first and last name. Your name, program, year of study, and profile photo (if you add one) are visible to every student at your institution.
- Keep your details accurate and up to date. Your name and your program can each change once every 30 days.
- What's visible, and to whom, is set out in the privacy policy.
5. Your content
- What you post stays yours. You give us a free, non-exclusive permission to store it, to show it to the people it's meant for (according to where you posted it and your settings), and to make the copies and versions that takes, such as a smaller photo or a link's preview. The permission lasts while the content is on Passdown, and ends when you delete it or your account.
- Other students can quote your post. If you delete it, their quote shows that it was deleted.
- You're responsible for what you post. Before uploading files, you confirm that you may share them.
- We don't sell your content, and we don't use it for advertising.
6. Passdown's own rights
Passdown's name, logo, design, and code belong to us. The open-source code, fonts, and data that Passdown uses keep their own licenses, listed on the open-source notices page.
7. Rules
Follow the content policy. In addition, don't:
- try to get into accounts or information that aren't yours, or get around limits or security;
- collect information about other users, including by bulk downloading or automated tools;
- run automated tools that post or read in bulk;
- disrupt the service, for example with deliberate load or malicious code;
- use Passdown for commercial purposes, such as advertising or selling, without our written permission;
- use Passdown against your institution's rules of academic integrity.
8. Anonymous posting
In several places you can post without your name. Other students won't see who wrote it, but Passdown keeps it, and may use it to enforce these terms or when the law requires it (see the content policy).
9. Enforcement
We may remove content, change a handle, limit actions, or suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or the content policy, or that puts other users or Passdown at risk. When we can, we'll explain why. Think we got it wrong? Write to us.
Content on Passdown is written by its users. We don't review it before it's published, and it doesn't express our views.
10. Information on Passdown
- Course pages, ratings, exam dates, timetables, and the course list come from students and from public sources. They may be wrong, outdated, or incomplete.
- Passdown doesn't replace the institution's official information. Check exam dates, rooms, and requirements with the institution.
- Past exams and solutions are shared by students, and solutions may contain mistakes.
11. The service
Passdown is free and provided as it is. We work to keep it running and your information protected, but we can't promise it will always be available or free of faults. We may change, add, or remove features, and may stop the service. If we stop it, we'll try to tell you in advance.
12. Liability
As far as the law allows, we aren't liable for content that users post, for decisions you make based on information on Passdown, or for indirect damage. Nothing in these terms limits a liability that the law doesn't allow to be limited.
13. Deleting your account
You can delete your account at any time, in Settings. Your profile, posts, comments, files, and the rest of your information are deleted with it, except as the privacy policy describes.
14. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We'll announce a significant change on Passdown before it takes effect. Using Passdown after a change takes effect means you accept it. The date at the top shows when the terms last changed.
15. Law and courts
Israeli law governs these terms. The competent courts of the Beer Sheva district have sole jurisdiction over any matter concerning them.
16. Language
These terms are written in Hebrew and English. Where the two differ, the Hebrew version prevails.
