Terms of service

What tessura is — and is not

tessura is an independent study tool and credential tracker for security professionals. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a substitute for the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) or any state agency. tessura is not a BSIS-certified training provider: using this app does not satisfy any state training requirement, and passing our practice exams does not license you to work as a security guard.

No legal advice; verify with the source

Content is prepared from primary sources and re-verified periodically, but regulations, fees, and deadlines change. The app's deadline calculations are conveniences, not guarantees — the dates printed on your credentials and the requirements published by your state agency always control. Nothing in tessura is legal advice.

Your account

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you enter (credential dates drive your reminders) and for keeping your login secure. You must be at least 18 to use tessura.

Subscriptions

Premium features are sold as auto-renewing subscriptions through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Prices are shown before purchase; trials convert automatically unless cancelled before the trial ends; you can cancel any time in your store account settings. Refunds are handled by the store per its policies. The credential wallet and compliance reminders are free and do not require a subscription.

Acceptable use

Do not copy, scrape, resell, or redistribute question content; do not reverse engineer the service; do not use tessura to violate any law. We may suspend accounts that abuse the service.

Intellectual property

All question content, explanations, and branding are original works owned by tessura. Statutes and public documents cited as sources remain public; our expressions of them are ours.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The service is provided "as is." To the maximum extent permitted by law, tessura disclaims all warranties and is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages — including missed deadlines, lapsed credentials, lost wages, or exam outcomes. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; material changes will be announced in the app. Continued use after changes means acceptance. Questions: legal@tessurasecurity.com.
