Legal
Terms of Use
These Terms govern access to and use of SimulatedCyber. By using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
The service
SimulatedCyber is an educational platform that lets learners practice cybersecurity roles and tasks in simulated environments. Features may include guided tutorials, independent shifts, case work, reports, career information, locally stored learning progress, and optional online team investigations for two to five signed-in participants.
Simulation results show practice completed inside SimulatedCyber. They are not a professional certification, employment history, security clearance, academic credit, or a guarantee of employment or job readiness.
Learning profiles
One account is used for solo practice and Multiplayer. Your profile and completed practice are saved to your account; unfinished shifts and drafts remain device-local. Existing browser-only history is imported only when you choose. You are responsible for access to your device and sign-in methods. Do not impersonate another person.
Create an account with Google or a verified email address. Existing Multiplayer usernames remain usable and can add a verified sign-in method. Use a unique password of at least 15 characters. Multiplayer requires individual sign-in, desktop access, and room authorization, but no prior training or progress requirement.
Authorized and lawful use
You may use SimulatedCyber for personal learning and other lawful purposes consistent with these Terms and the Acceptable Use Policy. Cybersecurity techniques shown in an exercise may be used only in the SimulatedCyber environment, on systems you own, or on systems for which you have clear authorization.
Nothing in the service gives you permission to scan, access, test, disrupt, or attack a real system. You may not misuse the site, bypass its access controls, interfere with its operation, deliver malicious code, obtain another person’s data, or use the service to facilitate unlawful or harmful activity.
Your content and responsibilities
You retain responsibility for notes, answers, reports, profile images, and other material you enter. Completed solo practice records, including saved incident notes and reports, are stored with your account. Online team investigations process shared actions, evidence, notes, chat, and results. Shared submissions are visible to teammates. Do not enter unlawful, infringing, confidential, or harmful material.
You are responsible for evaluating information presented in the simulations. SimulatedCyber is not a substitute for professional security, legal, compliance, educational, or employment advice.
SimulatedCyber content
The SimulatedCyber name, interface, original scenarios, text, graphics, and software are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. These Terms allow you to use the service for its intended learning purpose; they do not transfer ownership of the service or permit copying, resale, reverse engineering, or creation of a competing service except where applicable law does not allow such a restriction.
Third-party names, trademarks, and linked materials belong to their respective owners. References to them do not imply sponsorship or endorsement.
Availability, changes, and local data
The service may be changed, improved, limited, suspended, or discontinued. SimulatedCyber does not promise uninterrupted or error-free access. Browser-only drafts may be lost if site data is cleared or storage changes. Online rooms expire, and network interruptions or service limits can prevent account access or Multiplayer participation. Keep backups of important completed work.
Suspension and termination
Access may be restricted or ended when reasonably necessary to protect users, the service, or others; address unlawful or abusive conduct; or enforce these Terms. You may stop using the service at any time. Account settings provide account deletion. Shared team results follow the retention period in the Privacy Policy.
Disclaimers and limits of liability
The service is provided “as is” and “as available” for education and practice. To the extent permitted by law, SimulatedCyber disclaims implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or right that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, SimulatedCyber and the people who operate it will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, revenue, profits, or opportunities arising from use of or inability to use the service. This limitation does not apply where applicable law does not permit it.
Applicable law and changes to these Terms
These Terms do not limit rights or protections that cannot be waived under applicable law. Disputes remain subject to the laws and courts with jurisdiction.
These Terms may be updated as the service changes. The date at the top identifies the current version. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.
