In short: I'm Eric Pedersen, sole operator of Simply Complex Systems, LLC — the operating entity behind this site. In these terms, "we" means Simply Complex Systems, LLC. This site offers education from Simply Complex Systems, LLC and preserves selected archived projects. These terms govern course enrollment, class participation, and use of the site.
What this site is
simplycomplexsystems.com is the home of Simply Complex Systems Education. AI Literacy Fundamentals is a paid course consisting of four live online lessons, accompanying self-paced materials, and email support. Archived projects remain available as publication records. Client services and the client portal are governed by their separate client agreements.
Course enrollment and access
Enrollment in AI Literacy Fundamentals includes four live class credits. Lessons must be attended in order: Task, Output, Context, and Verification. Multiple future lessons may be reserved when their scheduled dates preserve that sequence.
Cancellations
Cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled class start and the credit returns to your account. A cancellation within 24 hours, or a missed class, uses the credit. If Simply Complex Systems Education must change or cancel a class, Eric will contact affected students directly and determine the appropriate arrangement; the scheduling system will not decide automatically.
Refunds and transfers
Course fees are non-refundable and non-transferable unless Eric Pedersen explicitly approves an exception. Approved exceptions are handled manually.
Using the published artifacts
The artifacts are published as a dated record of development. You may download them, read them, verify the hash against the file, and cite them with attribution. If you choose to run the seed file with an AI model, you do so on your own systems and at your own judgment; the publication is a record, not an offer of software or services.
License
Copyright in the published artifacts is held by Simply Complex Systems, LLC. All rights reserved, with this express grant: you may download the artifacts, read them, verify the hash against the file, cite them with attribution, and run the seed file for evaluation. Redistribution and derivative works are reserved — contact us for permission.
Educational outcomes
This course does not guarantee employment, protection from layoffs, increased earnings, or error-free AI output. Research cited on the site concerns the tools and tasks studied, not an evaluation or endorsement of this course.
What we don't promise
The pages and artifacts are provided "as is," with no implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Simply Complex Systems, LLC is not liable for any damages arising from your use of the site or the published artifacts, including from running the seed file.
Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio. If we ever disagree, the first step is a real conversation in good faith. If a dispute does end up in court, it goes to the appropriate state or federal court in Hamilton County, Ohio.
Changes to these terms
If these terms change, the new version takes effect when it's posted, with the date updated at the top.
