Terms & Conditions

Thanks for checking out Industrial Control Academy.

By browsing the site, signing up for a course, downloading materials, or getting in touch for support, you’re agreeing to these terms below. If any part feels off to you, just step away, no hard feelings.

What we actually do

We help people who already work with industrial automation get sharper at it. That means online courses, live/remote support, consulting, and resources around PLC programming, SCADA, DCS, instrumentation, industrial networking, drives, electrical panels, safety systems, and the like.

Each training or support package has clear details, price, contents, and timeline, listed on the course page, by email, or in a quote/proposal.

Important reminder: our stuff is meant to support experienced professionals. It never replaces

• your own engineering common sense
• your company’s internal standards and procedures
• the actual safety regulations, electrical codes, or plant rules that apply where you are

Big disclaimer on safety & engineering responsibility

Nothing on this website or in our training should ever be taken as:

• official design work or stamped engineering drawings
• a shortcut around reading the real standards (IEC, ISA, IEEE, NFPA, local codes, etc.)
• permission to skip your site’s change management, risk assessment, or approval process

If you change logic, add wiring, tweak parameters, or adjust anything based on what you learn here, that’s on you (and your team/employer) to:

• properly review and test it
• Run it through FAT/SAT or whatever validation your plant requires
• Get it signed off by the right qualified people
• Make damn sure it meets every law, permit, and standard that applies

We’re teachers and troubleshooters, not your liability shield.

If we give you a login

Don’t share your username/password.

• Anything done under your account is your responsibility.
• If it looks like someone’s using it without permission, email us immediately: [email protected]

Our stuff is ours

The videos, PDFs, example code, wiring diagrams, HMI screenshots, quizzes, pretty much everything we produce belongs to us (or we have permission to use it).

You can happily:

• Watch it yourself
• Save copies for your own reference.
• print handouts for use inside your own company or personal study

But please don’t (unless we give you written okay):

• upload our content to public drives, Telegram, YouTube, forums, etc.
• Share it with people outside your organisation for free or for money.
• sell, re-package, or re-sell any part of it
• crop out logos, copyright lines, or watermarks

Money & refunds

We show the price before you pay by checkout, quote, or agreement. Payment means you accept the terms.

Refunds depend on the specific thing you bought:

• If we wrote a cancellation/refund policy for that course or service, follow that
• If we didn’t spell one out, we handle it case by case and only where the law says we have to

Links we didn’t make

Sometimes we point you to manufacturer manuals, standards organisations, software download pages, or helpful tools. Those sites aren’t ours. We can’t vouch for what’s on them, so click through at your own risk.

No fancy guarantees

We work hard to keep the information solid and the site running, but we offer everything exactly “as is.” That means no promises that:

• Every fact or tip is perfect and never gets outdated.
• The site is always online and glitch-free
• It will behave the same on every phone, tablet, or browser.

You’re using our materials, knowing industrial systems are complex and mistakes can be expensive. So double-check everything in your real-world context.

If something goes wrong

To the fullest extent the law allows, we (and everyone who helps run this) aren’t on the hook for indirect losses, lost production hours, profit hits, data gone wrong, project delays, etc., even if someone warned us that those things could happen.

If a court does hold us responsible for something, the most we’d ever owe is whatever you actually paid us for the exact course/support tied to the claim (or nothing if it was free content).

If you cause us trouble

If you break these rules, misuse the site, or do anything that lands us in legal or financial hot water, you agree to cover our reasonable costs (including lawyer fees) arising from it.

We can update this page.

Things change, courses get added, laws shift, and we rewrite wording. When we update these terms, we’ll refresh the “last updated” date at the top. Continuing to use the site after that means you’re okay with the new version.

One bad paragraph doesn’t kill the rest.

If a court says any line here can’t stand, we’ll fix or drop just that part. Everything else keeps going.

Let’s talk if you need to
