Draft · Updated October 2026

Terms

Telebem is in development. Accounts are open and free, there is nothing to pay for, and these are the terms we intend to launch with. They will be finalised before launch.

What Telebem is

An index in four sections. Resources: libraries to read from, past papers from the bodies that set them, and open-source code packages to build coursework with. Student prices in Azerbaijan. Exchange guides for the countries ADA University sends students to. And volunteering programmes in Azerbaijan. One search runs across all of it, and each part can also be searched on its own with filters made for what it holds.

Volunteering programmes are listed from their organisers’ own pages, with the status the organiser gave and the date it was read. Telebem does not take applications: you apply on the organiser’s site, under the organiser’s terms, and the organiser decides who takes part.

The exchange guides follow ADA University’s own exchange list: the places, the partner universities and who each is open to are the university’s to decide, and its exchange office has the final word. The practical parts (banking, transport, a SIM card, the visa) are checked and dated, but rules abroad change; confirm anything official with the authority that issues it.

Telebem points to resources and offers published by others; it doesn’t host, copy or re-upload them.

Languages

The interface and the entries are written in English, Azerbaijani and Russian. The Azerbaijani and Russian wording is provided so the index is usable in the languages students here actually read; where a translation and the original disagree, the source the entry links to is the one that governs.

Offers and resources

• Student offers are run by the companies that make them, under their own terms and eligibility rules.
• We check listings, but prices, availability and licences can change at the source. The source is always the final word.
• Free resources are listed only when they’re free legally, from the publisher or author.

Which libraries we list

Every library in the index is authorised: the rights holder publishes it, the work is out of copyright, or a library lends it lawfully. That is the condition of being listed at all, not something a particular entry earns.

Shadow libraries that post copyrighted books without permission are deliberately not listed, however convenient they are.

Which past papers we list

Only sources run by the body that sets the exam, or published with its permission: an exam board, a national testing centre, a university, an olympiad's own organisers. Sites that re-upload board papers without permission are not listed, however complete they look.

A paper candidates actually sat and a practice test written to resemble one are recorded as different things, and every entry says which it holds and whether the answers come with it. Where an exam's papers are not free anywhere official, we say so rather than point somewhere else.

The papers remain the property of whoever set them. Most boards allow them to be used for practice and forbid republishing them; where we read such a condition, the entry names it.

Which code packages we list

Open-source projects, listed with the licence declared in their own repository. A licence decides what you may do with the code in work you hand in or publish, so it is recorded on every entry and read from the source rather than assumed.

The checks describe a project’s licence, metadata and release activity. They are not a security audit, and open source does not mean safe: review any dependency before you ship it.

What the marks mean

Entries can carry up to three marks. Each records work a person did on a stated date, and each has a limit. The three differ by section, because a library’s access terms and a package’s licence are not the same fact.

Libraries

• Details checked: the name, address and search page were opened and checked against each other. It says the library is where it claims to be; it says nothing about what is in it.
• Access confirmed: how you get a book, and on what terms, was read from the library’s own statement. Terms change, and individual items can differ from the collection’s general rule.
• Used and reviewed: an editor searched it for real coursework and wrote the note explaining when to come here. That is one person’s use, not an audit of the whole collection.

Past papers

• Details checked: the exam body, the address and the archive page were opened and checked against each other. It says the archive is where it claims to be; it says nothing about what is in it.
• Access confirmed: what is published, what is held back and for how long was read from the exam body’s own statement. Boards change these rules, and the date is the date it was read.
• Paper opened: an editor downloaded a real paper from the source, with its answers where there are any, and opened it. One paper was opened; not every paper was checked.

Student prices

• Details checked: the provider, address and claim page were opened and checked against each other. It says the offer exists where it claims to; it says nothing about the terms.
• Terms read: the discount, its conditions and its exclusions were read from the provider’s own page, on the date shown. Offers change without notice, and many here have changed before.
• Claimable here: an editor confirmed the offer is open to a student enrolled in Azerbaijan, not merely advertised. It does not promise a particular branch or cashier will honour it.

Code packages

• Details checked: name, package, repository and documentation checked against each other. It says the entry points where it claims to; it says nothing about the code.
• Licence read: the declared SPDX identifier was read from the repository’s own LICENSE file. Licences change, and the date is the date it was read, not a guarantee for every version.
• Read by an editor: an editor read the source and wrote the note explaining why it is listed. A reading, not an audit, and not a security review.

An entry carrying no mark has not failed anything. It only means nobody has run that check yet.

Names and logos

Entries are shown with the name and icon of the organisation that runs them, to identify the source you are being sent to. Those names and marks belong to their owners. Icons are stored and served from Telebem rather than hotlinked, and their use here is identification only: it does not imply the organisation endorses Telebem or is connected with it.

Set texts and paid textbooks

Many set texts are current commercial textbooks. Where that is true we say so plainly and point at the lawful ways to read them, including the open textbook that covers the same course where one exists. We never present a paid book as free.

We don’t hold the books. Every result sends you to the library that does, on that library’s own terms, which can change without telling us.

While Telebem is in development

Everything listed is real: libraries and their access terms, past paper sources and what they hold back, offers and their conditions, packages and the licences read from their repositories. The check dates shown are illustrative while the index is being built, and will be replaced by real ones before launch.

Student prices change more often than anything else here. Treat an old check date as a reason to confirm with the provider before you travel for an offer.

Suggestions

Anyone can suggest a resource. A person checks each one before it’s listed, and we may decline suggestions that aren’t official or legal copies.

Contact

A contact address will be published here before launch.
