1. Accounts

You need an account for most activities on our platform. Keep your password somewhere safe, because you’re responsible for all activity associated with your account. If you suspect someone else is using your account, let us know by contacting our Support Team. You must have reached the age of consent for online services in your country to use Teachingly.

You need an account for most activities on our platform, including to purchase and enroll in a course or to submit a course for publication. When setting up and maintaining your account, you must provide and continue to provide accurate and complete information, including a valid email address. You have complete responsibility for your account and everything that happens on your account, including for any harm or damage (to us or anyone else) caused by someone using your account without your permission. This means you need to be careful with your password. You may not transfer your account to someone else or use someone else’s account. If you contact us to request access to an account, we will not grant you such access unless you can provide us with the information that we need to prove you are the owner of that account. In the event of the death of a user, the account of that user will be closed.

You may not share your account login credentials with anyone else. You are responsible for what happens with your account and Teachingly will not intervene in disputes between students or teachers who have shared account login credentials. You must notify us immediately upon learning that someone else may be using your account without your permission (or if you suspect any other breach of security) by contacting our Support Team. We may request some information from you to confirm that you are indeed the owner of your account.

Students and teachers must be at least 18 years of age to create an account on Teachingly and use the Services. If you are younger than 18 but above the required age for consent to use online services where you live (for example, 13 in the US or 16 in Ireland), you may not set up an account, but we encourage you to invite a parent or guardian to open an account and help you enroll in courses that are appropriate for you. If you are below this age of consent to use online services, you may not create a Teachingly account. If we discover that you have created an account that violates these rules, we will terminate your account. Under our Instructor/Teacher Terms, you may be requested to verify your identity before you are authorized to submit a course for publication on Teachingly.

You can terminate your account at any time by contacting our Support.

2. Course Enrollment and Lifetime Access

When you enroll in a course, you get a license from us to view it via the Teachingly Services and no other use. Don’t try to transfer or resell courses in any way. We grant you a lifetime access license, except when we must disable the course because of legal or policy reasons.

Under our Instructor/Teacher Terms, when instructors publish a course on Teachingly, they grant Teachingly a license to offer a license to the course to students. This means that we have the right to sublicense the course to the students who enroll in the course. As a student, when you enroll in a course, whether it’s a free or paid course, you are getting a license from Teachingly to view the course via the Teachingly platform and Services, and Teachingly is the licensor of record. Courses are licensed, and not sold, to you. This license does not give you any right to resell the course in any manner (including by sharing account information with a purchaser or illegally downloading the course and sharing it on torrent sites).

In legal, more complete terms, Teachingly grants you (as a student) a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the courses and associated content for which you have paid all required fees, solely for your personal, non-commercial, educational purposes through the Services, in accordance with these Terms and any conditions or restrictions associated with a particular courses or feature of our Services. All other uses are expressly prohibited. You may not reproduce, redistribute, transmit, assign, sell, broadcast, rent, share, lend, modify, adapt, edit, create derivative works of, sublicense, or otherwise transfer or use any course unless we give you explicit permission to do so in a written agreement signed by a Teachingly authorized representative. This also applies to content you can access via any of our APIs.

We generally give a lifetime access license to our students when they enroll in a course. However, we reserve the right to revoke any license to access and use courses at any point in time in the event where we decide or are obligated to disable access to a course due to legal or policy reasons, for example, if the course you enrolled in is the object of a copyright complaint, or if we determine its content violates our any trust and safety guidelines. The lifetime access is not applicable to add-on features and services associated with a course. For example, translation captions of courses may be disabled by instructors at any time, and instructors may decide at any time to no longer provide teaching assistance or Q&A services in association with a course. To be clear, the lifetime access is to the course content but not to the instructor.

Teachers may update course content over the time. We cannot guarantee that you will have access to the same content as it was at the time of your order.

3. Payments, Credits, and Refunds

When you make a payment to create an Instructor/Teacher account, you agree to use a valid payment method. If you aren’t happy for any reason, Teachingly offers refund according to the refund policy agreed at the time of purchase. We may also try to offer you another product to save the refund which would be your decision to accept or not. Once conditions set in refund policy are expired, for example no. of days passed since the account was opened, Teachingly will refuse any refunds. Students cannot request refund form Teachingly since we do not charge students. More details on this can be found in Instructor/Teacher Terms section.

3.1 Pricing

Teachingly does not control course prices, it is up to the instructor/teacher. We may set up minimum and maximum amount at which a course can be sold on our platform.

3.2 Payments

You agree to pay the fees for courses that you purchase, and you authorize instructor/teacher to charge your debit or credit card or process other means of payment for those fees. We do not process your payments. Payments are processed by third party applications set by instructor/teacher. When you make a purchase, you agree not to use an invalid or unauthorized payment method. We reserve the right to disable access to any course for which instructor/teacher not received adequate payment upon his/her request. Instructor/teacher should email student a clear refund policy and other terms they would like student to be aware of immediately after a student has made an order.

3.3 Refunds and Refund Credits

If as a student, the course you purchased is not what you were expecting, you should contact instructor/teacher. For the instructor/teacher, if we ban your account or disable your access to a course due to your violation of any of our terms, you will not be eligible eligible to receive a refund.

3.4 Gift and Promotional Codes

An Instructor/teachers may offer discount to students by reducing the price of the course from time to time and offering coupon codes at their leisure.

4. Content and Behavior Rules

If we are put on notice that your course or content violates the law or the rights of others (for example, if it is established that it violates intellectual property or image rights of others, or is about an illegal activity), if we discover that your content or behaviour is unlawful, inappropriate, or objectionable (for example if you impersonate someone else), we may remove your content from our platform. Teachingly complies with copyright laws.

Teachingly has discretion in enforcing all such Terms. We may terminate or suspend your permission to use our platform and Services or ban your account at any time, with or without notice, for any or no reason, including for any violation of these Terms, if you fail to pay any fees when due, upon the request of law enforcement or government agencies, for extended periods of inactivity, for unexpected technical issues or problems, or if we suspect that you engage in fraudulent or illegal activities, or for any other reason in our sole discretion. Upon any such termination we may delete your account and content, and we may prevent you from further access to the platforms and use of our Services. Your content may still be available to students on the platforms even if your account is terminated or suspended.

The content you post as a student or instructor (including courses) remains yours. By posting courses and other content, you allow Teachingly to reuse and share it but you do not lose any ownership rights you may have over your content.

When you post content, comments, questions, reviews, and when you submit to us ideas and suggestions for new features or improvements, you authorize Teachingly to use and share this content with anyone, distribute it and promote it on any platform and in any media, and to make modifications or edits to it as we see fit.

6. Using Teachingly at Your Own Risk

Anyone over the age of 18 can use Teachingly to create and publish courses and instructors and we enable instructors and students to interact for teaching and learning. Like other platforms where people can post content and interact, some things can go wrong, and you use Teachingly at your own risk.

Our platform model means we do not review or edit the courses for legal issues, and we are not in a position to determine the legality of course content. We do not exercise any editorial control over the courses that are available on the platform and, as such, do not guarantee in any manner the reliability, validity, accuracy, or truthfulness of the courses. If you enroll in a course, you rely on any information provided by an instructor at your own risk.

By using the Services, you may be exposed to content that you consider offensive, indecent, or objectionable. Teachingly has no responsibility to keep such content from you and no liability for your access or enrollment in any course, to the extent permissible under applicable law. This also applies to any courses relating to health, wellness, and physical exercise. You acknowledge the inherent risks and dangers in the strenuous nature of these types of courses, and by enrolling in such courses you choose to assume those risks voluntarily, including risk of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death. You assume full responsibility for the choices you make before, during, and after your enrollment in a course.

When you interact directly with a student or an instructor, you must be careful about the types of personal information that you share. While we restrict the types of information instructors may request from students, we do not control what students and instructors do with the information they obtain from other users on the platform.

We do not hire or employ instructors nor are we responsible or liable for any interactions involved between instructors and students. We are not liable for disputes, claims, losses, injuries, or damage of any kind that might arise out of or relate to the conduct of instructors or students.

When you use our Services, you will find links to other websites that we don’t own or control. We are not responsible for the content or any other aspect of these third-party sites, including their collection of information about you. You should also read their terms and conditions and privacy policies.

8. Miscellaneous Legal Terms

These Terms are like any other contract, and they have boring but important legal terms that protect us from the countless things that could happen and that clarify the legal relationship between us and you.

8.1 Binding Agreement

You agree that by registering, accessing, or using our Services, you are agreeing to enter into a legally binding contract with Teachingly. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not register, access, or otherwise use any of our Services.

If you are an instructor/teacher accepting these Terms and using our Services on behalf of a company, organization, government, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so.

Any version of these Terms in a language other than English is not available and you understand and agree that the English language will control if there is any conflict.

If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by applicable law, then that provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of these Terms will continue in effect.

Even if we are delayed in exercising our rights or fail to exercise a right in one case, it doesn’t mean we waive our rights under these Terms, and we may decide to enforce them in the future. If we decide to waive any of our rights in a particular instance, it doesn’t mean we waive our rights generally or in the future.

8.2 Disclaimers

It may happen that our platform is down, either for planned maintenance or because something goes down with the site.

Your use of the Services (including any content) is entirely at your own risk.

We may decide to cease making available certain features of the Services at any time and for any reason. Under no circumstances will Teachingly or its affiliates, suppliers, partners or agents be held liable for any damages due to such interruptions or lack of availability of such features.

We are not responsible for delay or failure of our performance of any of the Services caused by events beyond our reasonable control, like an act of war, hostility, or sabotage; natural disaster; electrical, internet, or telecommunication outage; or government restrictions.

Our liability (and the liability of each of our group companies, suppliers, partners, affiliates, and agents) to you or any third parties under any circumstance is limited to the greater of one hundred united state dollars ($100) or the amount you have paid us in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to your claims. Some jurisdictions don’t allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so some of the above may not apply to you.
