These terms govern your use of the Schemdeck website and its content. By using the site, you agree to them. They are written to be readable rather than exhaustive, and they describe Schemdeck as it exists today.
Service description
Schemdeck provides digital educational and informational content and technical project guidance, organized as structured Blueprints and guided learning paths. It is reference material, not a physical product and not a hands-on installation service.
Current access
Schemdeck offers two access levels: Free and Pro. Free Blueprints, including their catalog listings and Manuals, the ordinary catalog, and search all remain usable without an account. An account is required for New to Tech / Tech References and for private Workbench features (saving, resuming, build history, and preferences), and is also used for account and billing management.
Pro subscription
Schemdeck Pro is a recurring monthly digital subscription that unlocks every Blueprint Manual. The current price is an introductory launch price of $4.99 USD per month, billed monthly and renewing automatically until you cancel. This introductory price is not a permanent commitment: it may change in the future as the Blueprint library and Pro feature set grow, and no subscriber — current or future — has been promised this exact price indefinitely. If a pricing change would affect your existing subscription, Schemdeck will tell you before that change takes effect. The price and terms actually presented to you when you start Checkout are part of your purchase agreement.
You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through billing management (Stripe’s Customer Portal) in Account Settings. Canceling prevents the next renewal; it does not end access already paid for — your Pro access continues through the end of the billing period you already paid for. Subscription charges are generally non-refundable and are not prorated, except where required by applicable law. Schemdeck may, at its discretion, issue a refund for a duplicate charge, a billing error, or another exceptional circumstance. See the Refund & Cancellation Policy for the full terms.
Your account
You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for activity under your account. Use one account per person, and provide accurate information. You can delete your account from Account settings; if the account has a billing relationship that prevents self-service deletion, contact schemdeck@gmail.com to complete the request.
Technical-content disclaimer
Technical projects depend on variables that Schemdeck cannot control, including hardware revisions, firmware and software versions, network configuration, third-party compatibility, and your working environment. Schemdeck aims for accuracy but does not guarantee that a project will work identically in every environment.
Each Blueprint carries a validation label. Rely on it for the level of testing that is actually represented: researched information is not the same as a build that has been physically verified, and AI-assisted material is not treated as physically tested unless a person tested it.
Lawful and authorized use
You must use Schemdeck content lawfully, and only on systems, devices, and networks that you own or are explicitly authorized to work with.
Schemdeck content is not permission or encouragement to:
- access systems, accounts, or networks without authorization
- interfere with or disrupt networks or services
- violate applicable laws or third-party rights
- misuse security information to cause harm
Security-related content on Schemdeck is educational and defensive in nature.
Safety and your responsibility
You are responsible for understanding the relevant hardware, electrical, software, networking, and legal risks before performing a project, and for deciding whether a project is appropriate for your situation and skill level.
Third-party products and services
Blueprints may reference third-party hardware, software, repositories, documentation, and services. Those third parties are independent of Schemdeck and may change or withdraw their products, terms, and pricing at any time. Schemdeck does not control them and is not responsible for them.
Intellectual property
The original content, branding, and materials that Schemdeck publishes on this site remain the intellectual property of Schemdeck unless stated otherwise. Third-party names, code, and materials referenced in Blueprints remain the property of their respective owners and are subject to their own licenses and terms.
Availability and changes
Schemdeck may update, modify, or remove site content and features over time, including as the product develops. These terms may also be updated; the “Last updated” date above reflects the current version.
Disclaimer and liability
The site and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, to the extent permitted by law. To the extent permitted by law, Schemdeck is not liable for damages arising from use of the site or reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot be limited under applicable law.
