Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Exhume (accessible at exhume.dev, its subdomains, the Exhume web application, and the Exhume browser extension, collectively referred to as the "Service").
The Service is developed and operated by Sriram (known online as sudosriram, "we," "us," or "our").
By creating an account, installing the browser extension, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
1. Description of the Service
Exhume provides interactive coding micro-drills designed to keep software development instincts sharp. The Service includes:
- A web platform for tracking drill history, streaks, and progress.

- AI-assisted dynamic coding challenges and solutions.
