These terms govern the use of Rocheston websites, mobile applications, platforms, training, labs, examinations, and certification services offered by Rocheston Pvt. Ltd. Please read them carefully — by using our Services, you agree to them.
The agreement between you and Rocheston Pvt. Ltd. for the use of all Rocheston Services.
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Rocheston Pvt. Ltd. together with its affiliates ("Rocheston," "we," "us"). They govern your access to and use of all Rocheston websites, subdomains, mobile applications, platforms, labs, cyber ranges, learning systems, downloads, software, APIs, RSS feeds, events, and related offerings (collectively, the "Services").
By accessing or using any part of the Services, creating an account, registering for a course or examination, or clicking to accept, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy below. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" includes that organization.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services, and at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to purchase training, sit a certification examination, or enter into this agreement on your own behalf. Users between 13 and 18 may use the Services only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.
You may not use the Services if you are barred from doing so under applicable law, or if your account was previously suspended or removed by Rocheston.
We may revise these Terms at any time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the current version. Material changes will be announced on this page or by email. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Rocheston may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services — including any feature, course, platform, lab, content, or database — at any time, with or without notice, and may impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Services without liability.
All content and materials in the Services — including courseware, videos, labs, lab environments, examinations, question banks, slides, documents, books, articles, images, illustrations, audio, software, source code, operating systems, designs, and data (collectively, "Content") — are owned by or licensed to Rocheston and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual-property laws of India, the United States, and international treaties.
Subject to these Terms, Rocheston grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access the Content for your own non-commercial education. All other rights are reserved. Except for this limited license, nothing in the Services grants you, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right in or to the Content.
ROCHESTON, RCCE, Rocheston Certified Cybersecurity Engineer, RCAI, Extreme Hacking, Rose OS, AINA, Cyber Range Sphere, Vulnerability Vines, Rocheston Raven, and the associated logos, designs, and trade dress are trademarks or registered trademarks of Rocheston in the United States, India, and other jurisdictions.
No Rocheston trademark may be used — including in domain names, product names, marketing, metadata, or AI-generated content — without Rocheston's prior written authorization, except for truthful nominative reference to Rocheston products or services. Certification marks and digital badges may be used only by individuals who currently hold the corresponding valid certification, and only in accordance with Rocheston's badge usage guidelines. All other names and marks belong to their respective owners.
Rocheston certifications are earned credentials. To protect their value for every certified engineer, the following rules apply and survive any termination of these Terms:
Rocheston teaches offensive and defensive cybersecurity techniques for one purpose: lawful, authorized security work. By using the Services you agree that:
You agree not to, and not to permit or assist anyone to:
If you post or submit content to the Services — comments, reviews, forum posts, write-ups, code, testimonials, photos, video, audio ("Submissions") — you retain your ownership, and you grant Rocheston a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, publicly perform, and display your Submissions in any media now known or later developed, including for the promotion of Rocheston and the Services, online and offline.
You represent that you own or control all rights to your Submissions, that they are accurate, and that they do not violate these Terms, the law, or the rights of any person. Rocheston has no obligation to review Submissions and may remove or refuse any Submission at any time for any reason. You — not Rocheston — are fully responsible for your Submissions.
Prices, inclusions, and availability of courses, examinations, subscriptions, and merchandise are as stated at the point of purchase and may change at any time before purchase. Taxes, duties, and payment-processor fees may apply. Payment is processed by secure third-party payment providers; Rocheston does not store full card numbers.
Except where required by law or expressly stated in a written offer: seats are confirmed only upon payment; exam fees are non-refundable once an exam is scheduled or attempted; and digital content, lab access, and courseware are non-refundable once delivered or accessed. Specific refund and rescheduling rules published at cert.rocheston.com/policies form part of these Terms. Rocheston may cancel or reschedule a class for operational reasons; in that case your remedy is a reschedule or a refund of the fees paid for that class — Rocheston is not responsible for travel or other incidental costs.
The Services link to and interoperate with third-party websites, content, tools, payment processors, communication platforms, and resources. Rocheston does not control and is not responsible for their availability, accuracy, content, products, policies, or practices. Links do not imply endorsement. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to their terms.
Software, virtual machines, operating systems, and lab environments are licensed, not sold, solely for use within the Services. You may not sublicense, rent, transfer, or assign them, and any attempt to do so is void. Lab environments may be reset, monitored, and logged at any time; do not store personal or production data in them.
Features identified as beta, preview, or experimental — including AI-powered features — are provided for evaluation, may change or be withdrawn at any time, and are excluded from any service commitments. AI-generated output can be inaccurate or incomplete; verify before relying on it.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.
These limitations apply regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Rocheston and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, information providers, licensors, and licensees (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use or misuse of the Services or any skill, tool, or information obtained from them; (b) your Submissions; (c) your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right; or (d) your violation of Section 7 (Ethical Use). Rocheston reserves the right, at your expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate.
The Services, software, and technical content may be subject to export-control and sanctions laws of the United States, India, and other jurisdictions. You represent that you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in any embargoed or sanctioned jurisdiction, and that you are not on any restricted-party list. You agree not to export, re-export, or transfer any part of the Services or Content in violation of such laws, and not to use them for prohibited end uses, including the development of weapons.
Rocheston may suspend or terminate your account or access to all or part of the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason — including any violation or suspected violation of these Terms — without liability or refund except as required by law. You may stop using the Services at any time. Upon termination, your license to the Content ends immediately; Sections 4–7, 9, and 13–20 survive termination.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
You consent to receive communications from Rocheston electronically — by email, through the Services, or by posting on this page — and agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that communications be in writing. Service and transactional messages (for example, enrollment confirmations, exam notices, security alerts, and changes to these Terms) are part of the Services and may not be opted out of while you maintain an account. Marketing messages always include an unsubscribe option.
How Rocheston collects, uses, protects, and shares information — and the rights you have.
This Privacy Policy explains how Rocheston collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects information in connection with its websites, mobile applications, platforms, and services (collectively, the "Services"), and the choices and rights you have. It applies to the Rocheston websites and the subdomains and mobile apps associated with them, including:
By using the Services you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meaning given in the Terms above.
In some cases an administrator — your employer or a Rocheston Authorized Training Partner ("Customer") — creates an account on your behalf and provides your information, including personal information. We process that information under the Customer's direction and may have no direct relationship with you. Your use of the platform may also be subject to your Customer's own policies. The Customer is responsible for having the authority to consent to the collection and use of your personal information as described here. If you use an enterprise-provided account, please direct privacy inquiries to your administrator first. Rocheston is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of its Customers.
Information you provide:
Information collected automatically (logs and telemetry): device type, browser type, operating system, language preference, time zone, screen size, IP address, approximate location derived from IP, referring/exit pages, and usage events within the Services. You may browse public pages without registering; providing personal information is voluntary, but some activities are unavailable without it.
When you give us personal information about your contacts (for example, a referral), we use it only for the specific purpose for which it was provided.
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on: performance of a contract (delivering the Services you signed up for); legitimate interests (securing the Services, preventing exam fraud, improving products, business communications) balanced against your rights; consent (marketing where required, optional cookies, social sign-on) which you may withdraw at any time; and legal obligation (tax, accounting, lawful requests).
We may receive data about you from third-party sources and protect it under this Policy plus any restrictions imposed by the source. These sources have included: social networks (when you grant access), referral-program participants, service providers that map IP addresses to approximate location, co-branded or joint-marketing partners, publicly available sources, and offline channels such as postal mail, telephone, or fax. We may combine this with information we already hold to improve the Services.
You have the right to access, correct, update, export, and delete your personal information.
Exceptions. We may retain information where required for legitimate business or legal purposes (for example, certification records that underpin issued credentials, fraud prevention, tax, audit). Deleted information may persist briefly in backups before being purged. We may limit access where the burden or expense would be disproportionate to privacy risk or where access would violate others' rights, and we may keep prior versions of corrected data in logs and audit records.
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy: account data for the life of the account plus a reasonable period; certification and exam-integrity records for the life of the credential program (the record is what makes your certification verifiable); transaction records as required by tax and accounting law; logs and security telemetry for a limited rolling window. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.
Rocheston operates globally. Your information may be stored and processed in your region and in any country where Rocheston, its affiliates, or its data sub-processors operate — currently including data centers in the United States and India — and may be accessed by staff in those countries for product development, customer support, and operations. The data-protection laws of these countries may differ from those of your country.
Note to customers in Europe: where we transfer personal data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to countries not deemed adequate by the European Commission, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses so that your rights and protections travel with your data. By submitting your data and/or using our Services, you consent to this transfer, storage, and processing.
Rocheston and its analytics and advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies (web beacons, pixels, device identifiers) to provide functionality and recognize you across Services and devices:
You can set your browser to warn you about cookies or block them entirely; see your browser's Help menu. Blocking cookies may break features that depend on them.
We may partner with third parties to manage advertising on other sites. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your activities on our Websites and elsewhere to serve interest-based advertising. You can opt out of interest-based advertising via the Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info (or, in the EU, youronlinechoices.eu). Opting out does not remove advertising — you will simply see generic ads.
We use third-party analytics software. Usage metrics are transmitted to our analytics providers to evaluate how users use the platform and to compile statistical reports for us. We use these tools to maintain, enhance, and personalize the Services. Aggregated, non-identifying analysis may be made public. We and our partners may use web beacons to analyze trends, administer the website, track movement around the site, and gather demographic information about the user base, and may receive individual and aggregated reports from these technologies.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted, Rocheston does not currently respond to DNT signals. We continue to monitor developments in DNT standards and will revisit this position as standards mature. Where supported, we honor recognized opt-out signals required by applicable law (such as Global Privacy Control for California residents).
Our Websites contain links to sites we do not own or control. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every site that collects personal information from you.
Blogs, community forums, leaderboards, and comment areas are public. Anything you post there can be read, collected, indexed by search engines, and used by others — including to send you unsolicited messages — and Rocheston is not responsible for personal information you choose to disclose publicly. To request removal of your information from public areas, contact us; if removal is not possible we will tell you why.
Our Websites may include social features (such as share buttons) and sign-in services (such as LinkedIn). These features may collect your IP address and the page you are visiting, and may set cookies to function. Your interactions with them are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing them. If you sign in with a third-party service, it authenticates your identity and gives you the option to share certain profile information (such as name and email) with us.
We may use your email address for newsletters and marketing. You can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email. Service announcements (maintenance, security, enrollment, exam, and policy notices) are not promotional and generally cannot be opted out of while you hold an account; if you do not wish to receive them, you may close your account.
We use industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information under our control against loss, misuse, and alteration:
No transmission or storage is 100% secure; transmission is at your own risk, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by applicable law.
We post customer testimonials, comments, and reviews on our Websites, which may contain personal information. We obtain the customer's consent before posting a name alongside a testimonial. To have your testimonial removed, contact us.
Information that comes into Rocheston's possession regarding certification examinations — scenarios, questions, answers, and scoring — is kept confidential and disclosed only in the normal course of candidates sitting the examinations and as required to administer the certification program. Candidates are bound by the exam-integrity obligations in the Terms above. Proctoring records are used solely for identity verification and exam-integrity purposes and are retained per Section 9.
The Services are not directed to children under 13, and Rocheston does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, do not submit any personal information through our Websites or Services. Parents and legal guardians: if you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will delete that information and terminate the child's account. Users aged 13–17 may use the Services only with parental or guardian consent.
We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page, update the "Last updated" date, and — for material changes — post a notice on our main page and/or email registered users. Your continued use of the Websites or Services after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy. If you do not accept it, discontinue use of the Services.
