Teachable, Inc. ("Teachable") is a Delaware corporation. In these Terms of Use, we will reference ourselves as “Teachable” or “we/us”. This document sets out the terms for use of our Platform. Our platform can be found at https://teachable.com, and also includes all of the subdomains, mobile applications, any other media, location, application, etc. owned, managed or otherwise operated by Teachable. When referring to the infrastructure in these Terms, we will be collectively referring to them as the "Platform".
Our Terms of Use ("Terms") also includes our Fair Use Policy, House Rules, Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy, Data Processing Agreement, Content Guidelines, Creator Referral Terms and Conditions and any other documents referred to by those agreements, and they, as a whole, govern any and all of the access to the Teachable platform.
When we refer to “You” or “User”, we mean the entity you represent in accepting these Terms, or, if that does not apply, you individually. If you are accepting on behalf of your employer, your company, or another entity, you represent and warrant that (i) you have full legal authority to bind your employer or such entity to these Terms; (ii) you have read and understand these Terms; and (iii) you agree to these Terms on behalf of the party you represent.
By using our Platform in any manner, You are expressly agreeing to, and give Your consent to be governed by, these Terms. If You do not agree with these Terms or You do not wish to be bound by these Terms, You must not use or access the Platform in any manner.
1.1. The Teachable Platform and Teachable Services
Teachable provides an open online content creation platform designed to allow content creators (“Creators”) to build, design, publish, and sell courses, coaching offerings (“Coaching”) and other services to their end users (“Students”). Teachable provides each Creator with a dedicated Teachable environment (“school”) to host and offer their services. Teachable offers this content creation platform along with a number of additional services and tools (e.g. payment gateways, author and affiliate payouts) and the entire selection of tools and services offered via the Platform will be referred to in these Terms as "Teachable Services".
1.2. Relationship between Teachable and Users
Teachable is neither a content provider nor an educational institution. Creators and Students are not employees of Teachable.
Teachable is not responsible for interactions between Creators and Students, with the exception of providing the technological means through which Creators may broadcast and otherwise make their courses, digital downloads, and other content (collectively, “Creator Content”) available and, at each Creator's election, for processing payments through Teachable's payment gateway(s). Teachable is not liable for any disputes, claims, losses, injuries, or damage of any kind that may arise out of the Creator/Student relationship, including but not limited to, any Student's reliance upon any information provided by a Creator or Creator Content at any time.
As stated in our Privacy Policy, Teachable only provides Creators with limited information about Students enrolled in their services, including name, email address, IP address, and the Creator offering in which the Student has enrolled. This information is only available to the Creator upon the purchase or enrollment of a Student in the Creator's school. Teachable does not provide, sell, rent, release, disclose, or otherwise transfer Student data to Creators for monetary or other valuable consideration. Students assume full responsibility for the disclosure and use of any other personal information the Student chooses to disclose to any Creator on the Platform.
1.3. The Discover Platform
The Teachable Platform encompasses the Teachable Discover ("Discover") platform, a marketplace that allows Users to search, find, and sign up for select Creator offerings. Discover is an overall part of the Teachable Platform, and these Terms apply in full force to the use of Discover. However, to the extent that You are a Creator being featured on Discover, the terms of the Teachable Discover Platform Agreement shall govern and take precedence in the event of any conflicts with these Terms.
2.1 Age of Access
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Platform, or, if You are between the ages of 13 and 18, You must have your parent or guardian's permission to use the Platform. By using our Platform, You are telling us by your actions that You have obtained that permission (You are 'representing' and 'warranting' that You have obtained the appropriate permissions to use our Platform). IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 13 YOU MAY NOT USE OUR PLATFORM IN ANY MANNER NOR MAY YOU REGISTER FOR AN ACCOUNT.
2.2 OFAC Restrictions
As an express condition of being permitted to access and use the Platform, You represent and warrant that You (i) are not on a list of persons that bars You from receiving services under U.S. laws (including, without limitation, the Denied Persons List and the Entity List issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security) or other applicable jurisdiction and (iii) are not a resident of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela or Crimea.
2.3 User Accounts
To access or use certain features of the Platform, You may be required to register for an account (“Account”). For example, to enroll in a Creator’s course or other service, You will be required to create a Student Account associated with the Creator’s school. When You register for an account, You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information and to keep Your account up to date.
2.4 Creator Accounts
To sign up for the Platform as a Creator, you will need to open a Creator account. Creators are deemed the contracting party (“Primary Owner”) for the purposes of our Terms.
If you are signing up as a Creator on behalf of your employer, your employer shall be the Primary Owner of the account and any associated school(s). If you are signing up on behalf of your employer, then you must use your employer-issued email address and you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind your employer to our Terms. When You register for a Creator Account, You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information and to keep Your account up to date.
2.5 Admin User Accounts
Depending on the Teachable subscription plan, a Creator may allow one or more persons (“Non-Primary Owner”) to establish an administrative account associated with a Primary Owner’s school. The Primary Owner is responsible for setting the level of access and permissions for Non-Primary Owners.
A Primary Owner is responsible and liable for the acts, omissions and defaults arising from the use of Non-Primary Owner accounts associated with their schools as if they were the Primary Owner’s own acts, omissions, or default.
2.6. Account Ownership Disputes
In the unlikely event that there is a dispute over the ownership of an account, Teachable has the right to request additional information from You to determine ownership and settle the dispute. The information that We may request to assist in resolving ownership disputes includes, but is not limited to, the following:
Should a dispute arise, Teachable reserves the right determine the account ownership in its sole judgment, and the ability to transfer the account to the rightful owner, unless otherwise prohibited by law.
We have to set up some ground rules. Honestly, most of what we cover here should go without saying. However, it's better to be upfront about things, rather than just assume everyone knows how they are expected to conduct themselves on our Platform. If You violate this Code of Conduct, we reserve the right to remove You and any of Your User Content from the Teachable Platform. Whether conduct violates our Code of Conduct will be determined in Teachable's sole discretion.
3.1 No Illegal Activity:
This is about as simple as it gets. Do not use the Teachable Platform for any illegal activity. Period.

3.2 No Fraud:
Yes, this is probably covered in the No Illegal Activity section above, but we want to make this very clear. Fraud will not be tolerated in any capacity.

Do not use the Teachable Platform to transmit, distribute, send, or otherwise expose the Platform or its Users to viruses, worms, or any other code that may be deemed dangerous, harmful, or destructive in any manner.

You may not use the Teachable Platform to engage in any activities that will result in sending spam to anyone on the Teachable Platform, including Teachable (and its employees), Creators, and Students.
3.5 Be Civil:
We mean this. We're an open platform allowing myriad subject matters to be taught. Not all Creator Content is for everyone. But the one thing we can all agree on is that when we use the Teachable Platform we are going to be civil and respectful at all times.
3.6 No Exploitation:
You will not use the Teachable Platform to try to gather personal information on anyone outside of the limited permissible uses for offering or accessing User Content.

3.8 No Data Mining or Bots:
You may not use any data mining, robots, or similar data gathering or extraction methods.

In operating our Platform, it's important for us to make it clear who owns what and who's responsible for what. You are trusting us with Your content and consistent with Teachable's genuine belief in transparency we want to make it simple for You to know exactly what You are getting into when You join the Teachable community.

Teachable reserves the right to remove access to content that it knows, or has reason to know, violates the rights of trademark owners. Please note that Teachable will send a copy of any trademark infringement claim received to the user who posted the content you report as infringing.

Teachable is not responsible for these communications and shall not have any liability in connection with them. You are solely responsible for assessing and verifying the identity and trustworthiness of the source and content of any such third-party communications. Teachable assumes no responsibility for verifying, and makes no representations or warranties regarding the identity or trustworthiness of the source or content of any such third-party communications.

By using these AI services, you accept and agree to be bound by OpenAI’s API Terms of Use and other Policies (the “Open AI Terms”), which are legal agreements between you and OpenAI. Teachable is not liable to you in respect to the OpenAI terms. In case of any inconsistency between the Terms and OpenAI’s Terms, the Terms shall govern.
9.1 The Teachable Platform encompasses Teachable APIs (“API” or “APIs”), a powerful solution that provides flexibility for Creators to access and interact with data about their business on Teachable. APIs provide Creators with access to school performance data related to sales, enrollments, and student engagement anytime they would like. APIs provide the ability for Creators to build custom products for their school’s end users (“Students”).
9.2 Teachable API Features include:
9.3 Definitions for this Section Only: The following definitions only apply to this section of the Terms and its subsections (Section 9).
(a) "API" means the TEACHABLE API application programming interface and any API Documentation or other API materials made available by Company on the Platform

9.4. License Grant

You acknowledge that there are no implied licenses granted under this Section of the Terms. We reserve all rights that are not expressly granted. You may not use the API or any Company Mark for any other purpose without our prior written consent. You must obtain an API Key through the registration process to use and access the API. You may not share your API Key with any third party, must keep your API Key and all log-in information secure, and must use the API Key as your sole means of accessing the API. Your API Key may be revoked at any time by us.
9.5 Additional Use Restrictions for API Services
Except as expressly authorized under the Terms, you may not: (a) remove any proprietary notices from the API; (b) use the API in any manner or for any purpose that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property right or other right of any person, or that violates any applicable law; (c) combine or integrate the API with any software, technology, services, or materials not authorized by Teachable; (d) design or permit Your Applications to disable, override, or otherwise interfere with any Teachable-implemented communications to end users, consent screens, user settings, alerts, warning, or the like; (e) use the API in any of Your Applications to replicate or attempt to replace the user experience of the Company Offering; or; (f) attempt to cloak or conceal your identity or the identity of Your Applications when requesting authorization to use the API.

Updates may adversely affect how Your Applications communicate with the Company Offering. You are required to make any changes to the Applications that are required for integration as a result of such update at your sole cost and expense. Your continued use of the API following an Update constitutes binding acceptance of the Update.
9.7 No Additional Fees for APIs
You acknowledge and agree that no additional license fees or other payments will be due for API in exchange for the rights granted under the Terms. You acknowledge and agree that this fee arrangement is made in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in the Terms, including, without limitation, the disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to start charging for access to and use of the API at any time.
9.8 Collection and Use of Your Information
We may collect certain information through the API, Company Offering or the Licensor Offering about you or any of your employees, contractors, or agents. By accessing, using, and providing information to or through the API or the Company Offering, you consent to all actions taken by us with respect to your information in compliance with the then-current version of our privacy policy and data protection requirements, available at https://teachable.com/.

Teachable will not provide a credit to You to the next month or year for any unused requests.
Teachable operates two different types of payment options for Creators who use our Platform: Teachable Native Gateways and Custom Payment Gateways. Your use of either type of gateway is covered by the terms of this section.
10.1. Teachable Native Gateways
For the avoidance of doubt, the term Teachable Native Gateways is a reference to both Teachable Payments and the Monthly Payments Gateway.
10.2. Custom Payments Gateway: Creators on the Professional, Business, and Enterprise plans may choose to set up a Custom Payment Gateway (CPG) to process Student transactions. These transactions, which are made through a third-party payment gateway, are outside of the scope of your relationship with Teachable. You agree that Your CPG service is a third-party payment service and is not a part of the Teachable Services. Payouts are distributed according to the third-party payment service's policies and procedures, and are not subject to any of Teachable’s policies and procedures related to payments, including the 14-day refund policy or payment hold. Furthermore, You acknowledge that:
10.3 Chargebacks
Creators may be charged a fee for any chargeback on credit card, debit card, or PayPal transaction that is processed through the Teachable Native Gateways. This fee is deducted from Your school's payout but is returned to You if You win the dispute. Current fees may be found on the Teachable Knowledge Base. Fees are subject to change.
10.4 Negative Balance Collections
Under certain circumstances including, without limitation, refunds and chargebacks, You may incur negative balances on Your Account. In the event that You are unable to resolve such negative balances directly with Teachable within a time period determined solely by Teachable in adherence with the Federal Debt Collections Practice Act and other applicable laws, You hereby permit Teachable to appoint a collections agency solely for the limited purpose of collecting such negative balances on Your Account. You agree to pay all costs and expenses including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, legal expenses, collections agency fees, and other collections fees, incurred by or on behalf of Teachable in connection with the collection of any amounts due to Teachable under these Terms that are unpaid by You. Teachable will send the debt out for collection to a collection agency no sooner than payment 90 days due.
Laws governing the collection, reporting and remittance of sales and use taxes, value-added taxes and other similar state, local and foreign taxes are complex. This section of the Terms summarizes Teachable’s practices regarding these tax requirements. Please be advised that Teachable’s position on these tax matters is subject to change, without notice, and possibly with retroactive effect.
Depending on the laws of the relevant jurisdictions, Creator Content sold by Creators to Students through the Teachable platform for purchases of courses and other services and transmitted to locations inside and outside of the United States may be subject to tax.
The rate and amount of tax imposed depends on a number of factors which Teachable considers, including (without limitation):
Teachable may request additional information from its customers, which will require You to provide certain information, such as Your legal name, tax identification number, address, phone number, e-mail address, and account information for Your bank account, as necessary to fulfill its tax obligations.
11.1 General Application of Sales Taxes in the United States
Teachable will determine whether a transaction on the Teachable Platform is subject to tax based on the applicable laws in each state. Teachable will calculate, collect, report and remit any sales taxes collected directly to the state on whose behalf the tax is imposed. Certain states may also require the Creator to submit their own tax filings or information returns.
The tax rate applied to Your transaction will be equal to the combined applicable state and local tax rate which shall be determined by Teachable based on the information provided by the Creator and/or Student, as applicable.
11.2 General Application of Taxes Outside of the United States
Creator and Student expressly acknowledge that an agreement is formed directly between Creator and Student for the sale of Creator Content by the Creator to the Student. Teachable is not a party to that agreement nor sets any of the terms for Creator Content sold by the Creator to the Student.
The Creator is the supplier of the Creator Content, Teachable is not responsible for interactions between Creators and Students and only provides technical means through which Creators may make their Creator Content available to Students.
As the Creator sells its Creator Content directly to the Student under its agreement with the Student, except as expressly provided in these Terms, the Creator will be solely and fully responsible to collect, report and remit the correct amount of tax (if any) to tax authorities for charges to the Students for the purchase of Creator Content. Teachable recommends Creators consult a tax advisor to assist with determining the tax requirements relating to the sale of their Creator Content.
Some countries provide for special tax laws making Teachable instead of the Creator responsible for the tax obligations pertaining to Creator Content sold by Creators while using the Teachable Native Gateways (Teachable Payments and Monthly Payment Gateway). In this regard, please note that the tax laws of the countries where Students reside generally dictate whether such a special tax law applies making Teachable instead of the Creator responsible for tax.
Therefore, in the event a Creator sells Creator Content to Students in multiple countries, different tax obligations may apply for the Creator, depending on the countries where the individual Students reside.
Please note that where a Creator is using the Custom Payment Gateway (CPG), the Creator is always solely responsible for tax, regardless of the country of residence of the Student.
The Country-Specific Guidance section contains an overview of jurisdictions where tax laws apply that shift the tax obligations for Creator Content from the Creator to Teachable in the Teachable Native Gateways model due to a deemed (by way of legal fiction) resale of Creator Content by Teachable that applies for tax purposes only.
Teachable determines the country where a Student resides for tax purposes on the basis of information the Student enters at checkout. Where needed, Teachable makes such data available to the Creator to enable the Creator to determine the amount of tax on the sale of Creator Content to a Student for which the Creator is responsible.
For information around requesting refunds and exemptions, please refer to Section 2 of the Terms of Use - Annex
Teachable is not responsible for setting the pricing on Creator Content. Prices for Creator Content are set by the Creator.

20.4 You and Teachable agree to waive the right to trial by jury. You further agree that any proceedings to resolve any disputes shall be done solely on an individual basis and that You will not seek to have any dispute heard as a class action, a representative action, a collective action, a private attorney-general action, or in any proceeding in which You act or propose to act in a representative capacity.
20.5 You also agree that no proceeding will be joined, consolidated, or combined with another proceeding without the prior written consent of Teachable and all parties to any such proceeding.
