Terms of Use

CONFIG by Network Kings · Effective 28 September 2026

For educational purposes only

CONFIG by Network Kings is a training simulator. Every router, switch, firewall, PC and server you see is a simulation built for learning. It is not Cisco IOS, Junos, FortiOS or PAN-OS, contains no vendor software, and its behaviour and output are simplified approximations of real equipment.

Do not use anything you configure here as a production configuration without validating it on real equipment and official documentation. Network Kings is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cisco Systems, Juniper Networks, Fortinet or Palo Alto Networks, and completing labs here does not guarantee any certification result.

1. Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of CONFIG by Network Kings (the "Service"), operated by Network Kings ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Educational purpose only

The Service is provided solely for education and training.

  • All devices, operating systems, command-line interfaces, web interfaces, packet captures and network behaviour are simulations written by us. They are not Cisco IOS, IOS XE, Junos, FortiOS, PAN-OS or any other vendor software, contain no vendor code, and may differ from real equipment in syntax, defaults, output and behaviour.
  • Configurations, commands and answers produced in the Service must not be relied on for production networks. Always validate against real equipment and official vendor documentation.
  • Course content is designed to help you prepare, but we do not guarantee that you will pass any exam or obtain any certification or job.
  • Use the skills you learn only on networks and systems you own or are explicitly authorised to work on.

3. Trademarks and no affiliation

Cisco, IOS, CCNA, CCNP, Juniper, Junos, JNCIA, JNCIS, JNCIP, Fortinet, FortiGate, FortiOS, NSE, Palo Alto Networks, PAN-OS, PCNSE and other product and certification names are trademarks of their respective owners and are used only to describe the subjects taught. Network Kings is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Cisco Systems, Inc., Juniper Networks, Inc., Fortinet, Inc. or Palo Alto Networks, Inc.

4. Your account

You must give accurate information and keep your sign-in details secure. Accounts are personal: do not share your account or let others use your subscription. You are responsible for activity under your account. Learners under 18 may use the Service only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

5. Free Starter plan, paid plans and payments

The free Starter plan gives limited access (for example the first module of each path and a small number of labs) as described in the Service; we may change what it includes. Paid plans unlock the content described on the plans page at the time of purchase. Prices are shown in the Service and payments are processed by Razorpay; by paying you also agree to Razorpay's terms. Plan duration, what is included and any refund terms are as shown at checkout. We may change prices or plans for future purchases; changes do not affect a plan you have already paid for.

6. Fair usage: VPN and account sharing

Your account is for you only. To keep labs fair for everyone, these rules apply when you start a lab:

  • VPN or proxy: if you start a lab through a VPN or proxy (for example on an office laptop), we ask you to turn it off. You may instead continue, and that lab costs 2x tokens. Using a VPN never puts your account on hold.
  • Different cities on the same day: if your account is used from two or more places at least 150 km apart on the same day (India time), that day counts once, however many labs you open. Mobile networks (such as Jio, Airtel, Vi, BSNL) and VPN connections are ignored for this check, because their location changes on its own.
  • The 1st and 2nd such day bring a warning. The 3rd puts labs on hold for 24 hours, the 4th for 3 days, and the 5th and later for 7 days. A hold ends on its own; your reading material stays open.
  • After 90 days with no new issue, your count goes back to zero.
  • We may also pause lab access for a set time (24 hours, 3 days or 7 days) where we see clear misuse. If you think a warning or hold is wrong, message support on WhatsApp +91 81305 37300 and we will review it.

7. Regional pricing, INR payments and VPN use

INR prices are offered only to learners in India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bhutan and other developing countries, based on the country of your IP address. All other countries are charged in USD. Your plan is tied to the currency and region you paid in.

  • Labs started through a VPN, proxy or other location-masking tool follow the fair-usage rules above (2x tokens).
  • Using location masking to obtain INR pricing, or sharing an account, may lead to a temporary hold or, for repeated misuse, suspension without a refund.
  • USD prices are higher because our lab servers are hosted in the US, we deliver through a global CDN, international payments cost more to process, and our international marketing spend is far higher than in India.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • copy, resell, redistribute or publicly share our lessons, labs, questions or exam content;
  • scrape, reverse engineer or bypass access controls, trials or payment checks;
  • attack, overload or interfere with the Service or other users;
  • use the AI features to create harmful, unlawful or abusive content, or enter other people's personal data into them;
  • use the Service in violation of any law.

9. Our content

The Service, including the simulator, lessons, labs, questions, text, graphics and software, is owned by Network Kings or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property law. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use it for your own learning while your account is in good standing.

10. Your content

You keep ownership of the lab topologies, configurations and notes you create. You give us permission to store and process them to provide the Service to you. You are responsible for what you enter and must not upload unlawful content.

11. AI features

AI-generated hints, explanations and labs are provided to support learning and may be incomplete or incorrect. Verify important information before relying on it.

12. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted availability. The simulator is an approximation and may contain errors.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Network Kings is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for any loss arising from applying anything learned or configured in the Service to real networks or systems. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us for the Service in the three months before the claim.

14. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or close accounts that breach these Terms, misuse the Service or put other users at risk. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts in India.

16. Changes and contact

We may update these Terms. We will post the new version here with a new effective date; continued use after changes means you accept them. Questions about these Terms: contact us through the contact or support options published on nwkings.com.
