1. Who you are buying from

School of Simulation is a trading name of Aspegio Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 13792055) with its registered office at Matrix House, 12-16 Lionel Road, Canvey Island, Essex, England, SS8 9DE. ‘We’ and ‘us’ below mean that company. In practice they mean Harry Munro, who runs it and answers its email at [email protected].

2. What these terms cover

What you buy from us directly:

  • the Simulation Bootcamp, which is sold and taught on our course site, learn.schoolofsimulation.com;
  • Claude Code in Practice, the short course;
  • the Agentic Engineering ebook.

They also cover your use of this website, the course site and the free books and resources on them. They do not cover the 10-Day Python Bootcamp, which Udemy sells, or the paperbacks, which Amazon sells: you buy those from Udemy or Amazon, on their terms. How we handle personal data is set out in the privacy policy.

3. Prices and payment

The price is the one shown on the course or book page when you buy, and the checkout page confirms it before you pay. Payment is taken by Stripe; we never see your card details. Stripe emails your receipt.

The Simulation Bootcamp is £597 in one payment, or 3 monthly payments of £219. When there is a dated offer, the page states its price and its deadline, and the checkout charges that price only until the deadline.

4. Paying in instalments

The instalment plan is 3 monthly payments of £219, £657 in all, taken automatically from the card you paid with. Your access begins with the first payment. After the last the plan ends by itself: there is nothing to cancel, and the course is yours on the same terms as if you had paid at once.

If a payment fails we tell you by email, and the payment is tried again over about two weeks; your access carries on meanwhile. You can update your card from your account page on the course site. If the payment has still not been made by then, access to the course is paused until it is, and returns as soon as the payment goes through.

The plan spreads the price; it is not a subscription to be stopped part-way with the course kept. If you want to leave within the guarantee period, section 5 applies.

5. Refunds

The Simulation Bootcamp carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the course is not what you hoped, write to [email protected] within 30 days of the day you enrolled and we will refund what you have paid, in full, to the card you paid with. You need give no reason. On the instalment plan we refund the payments made and cancel the rest. Your access to the course ends when the refund is made.

Claude Code in Practice can be refunded in full, on request, at any time before the course opens and for 30 days after it does. If it does not open on the date its page states, anyone who asks is refunded at once.

The Agentic Engineering ebook is delivered at once, as files to download. If a download fails or a file is faulty, write to us and we will put it right or refund you.

Your legal rights. If you buy as a consumer you have rights in law as well, which may include a right to cancel a purchase made at a distance within 14 days and the right to digital content that is as described and of satisfactory quality. Nothing in these terms reduces them.

6. Your access

You sign in to the course site with the email address you bought with. There is no password: each time, the course site sends a link and a code to that address. If you bought with an address you can no longer use, write to us and we will move your access to another.

Access does not expire. There is no subscription and no renewal fee, and updates to a course you own are included. ‘Lifetime’ means the life of the course: for as long as we offer it. If we ever have to withdraw a course you own, we will tell you beforehand at the address we hold for you.

An enrolment is for one person. Please do not share your sign-in, and keep the email account it relies on secure. Teams are welcome: write to us for team pricing.

We may pause or end access if an account is shared or resold, if a course's materials are republished, or if a payment is reversed by the bank. Where we end access for one of those reasons, no refund is due beyond section 5.

7. What you may do with the materials

The lessons, videos, notebooks, code, quizzes and books are ours, or are used with permission, and are protected by copyright. They are for your own learning and your own work.

  • The code you write is yours.
  • The example code, the starter notebooks and the solutions are yours to adapt and use in your own models, at work as much as at home.
  • You may not republish, resell or pass on the materials themselves, in whole or in substantial part, or record the videos, without our agreement in writing.

8. Changes to a course

Courses are revised. Lessons are corrected, replaced, added and occasionally retired, and what a course page lists as being in the pipeline is our intention, not a dated promise. A revision never costs you anything: updates to a course you own are included.

9. Help, and what a course is

Questions about a course come to Harry Munro by email and are answered personally, as promptly as one person can.

A course teaches a method. The models you build with it, and the decisions taken on their results, are yours: check your work as you would any analysis that matters. We do not promise a particular result, a job or a saving.

10. The website and the free resources

The website, the free books, the masterclass and the SimPy Playground are there for general learning, free of charge and as they are. We work to keep them correct and available, but cannot promise that they always will be. Links to other sites take you to places we do not run and are not responsible for.

11. Our responsibility to you

If we break these terms or fail to use reasonable care and skill, we are responsible for the loss you suffer that was a foreseeable result. We are not responsible for loss that was not foreseeable, for business losses such as lost profit or lost opportunity, or for decisions made on the output of a model.

If we are liable to you, the most we will pay is the price you paid for the course or book concerned.

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow us to limit; and nothing in them reduces your rights as a consumer.

12. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms; the date at the head of the page says when they last changed. The terms in force on the day you bought govern that purchase.

13. The law that applies

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you are a consumer living elsewhere, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the place you live and may bring a claim in its courts.
