Terms of Service

Welcome to Certified Architect. By using this site you agree to the terms below. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. These terms are written in plain language on purpose — read them.

1. What this service is

Certified Architect is a community-built practice platform to help candidates prepare for the Claude Certified Architect (CCA) exam. It offers a 7-day free trial and one-time paid passes (see Payments and refunds below). The site offers practice questions, knowledge articles, mock exams, progress tracking, and a community space. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic. “Claude” is a trademark of Anthropic, PBC. The real certification is obtained only through Anthropic’s official channels.

2. No guarantee of passing the official exam

Practice here gives you exposure to topics and question styles, but it does not guarantee that you will pass the official CCA exam. Questions on this site are written by the community based on publicly available materials. The real exam is written and scored by Anthropic and may differ. Use this site as one of several study resources, not your only one.

3. Accounts

• You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure. Do not share your account.
• You must provide a real email address so that password reset still works.
• We reserve the right to suspend or delete accounts that are being used to abuse the service — for example, automated scraping, spam, or attempts to disrupt other users.
• You can delete your account at any time from the profile settings. See the Privacy Policy for how deletion is handled.

4. Payments and refunds

Certified Architect offers a 7-day free trial, after which continued access to study and practice features requires a one-time pass (Starter, Standard, or Lifetime). All passes are one-time purchases — nothing auto-renews. Passes stack: buying a new pass adds its duration to your current expiry date. Payments are processed by third-party payment providers; we do not store your card details.

7-day refund policy: if a pass is not right for you, email [email protected] within 7 days of purchase and we will issue a full refund. Refunded purchases have their access revoked. Requests made after 7 days are handled case by case at our discretion.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Scrape the site with automated tools beyond what robots.txt permits, or attempt to download the full question bank in bulk.
• Republish our content as your own, or use it in a commercial product without attribution.
• Attempt to circumvent rate limits, authentication, or any other security measure.
• Upload or post content that is illegal, abusive, harassing, discriminatory, deceptive, or that infringes someone else’s rights.
• Use the site to impersonate another person or to misrepresent your affiliation with any organization, especially Anthropic.

6. Content and intellectual property

The study articles, practice questions, and explanations on this site are written by contributors to the Certified Architect community. Unless otherwise noted, they are provided for personal study use. You are free to read, quote, and reference them with attribution.

“Claude,” “Anthropic,” and related marks are the property of Anthropic, PBC. Any reference to them on this site is descriptive and nominative. Nothing on this site transfers any rights in Anthropic’s trademarks.

7. User-generated content

If you post notes, comments, or other content in community areas of the site, you keep ownership of your content. By posting, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, store, and distribute that content as part of running the site. You are responsible for making sure the content you post is yours to share.

8. The site is provided “as is”

Certified Architect is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without any warranty of any kind — express or implied. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, bug-free, secure, or that any particular piece of content is accurate or up to date. You use the site at your own risk.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the operators and contributors of Certified Architect are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of your use of the site — including but not limited to lost study progress, failure to pass the official CCA exam, or data loss. Our total liability to you for any claim related to the site is capped at the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose (zero if you have not purchased a pass).

10. Third-party links

The site links to external resources including Anthropic Academy, Anthropic’s learning hub, and community spaces. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, their own terms, or their privacy practices. Links are provided for convenience only.

11. Termination

You can stop using the site or delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access to accounts that violate these terms, with or without notice where the abuse is serious or ongoing.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top. Material changes will be highlighted where practical. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the new terms.
