3. Trust & Safety

3.1 Trust & Safety Policies

We reserve the right to remove courses, suspend payouts, and/or ban instructors for any reason at any time, without prior notice, including in cases where:

• an instructor or course does not comply with our policies or legal terms (including the Terms of Use);
• a course falls below our quality standards or has a negative impact on the student experience;
• an instructor engages in behavior that might reflect unfavorably on EduQskills or bring EduQskills into public disrepute, contempt, scandal, or ridicule;
• an instructor engages the services of a marketer or other business partner who violates EduQskills’s policies; or
• as determined by EduQskills in its sole discretion.

3.3 Relationship to Other Users

You agree that you will not use the personal data of learners you receive for any purpose other than providing your services to those learners on the EduQskills platform, and that you won’t solicit additional personal data or store learners’ personal data outside the EduQskills platform.

4. Pricing

4.1 Price Setting

When creating a course, you will be prompted to select a base price (“Base Price“) for your course from a list of available price tiers. Alternatively, you may choose to offer your course for free.

5. Payments

5.1 Revenue Share

When a student purchases your course directly from eduQskills, we calculate the gross amount of the sale as the amount actually received by EduQskills from the student (“Gross Amount“). From this, we subtract any Transaction Taxes, a 5% administrative and handling fee, agreed commission and any amounts paid to third parties in connection with the Promotional Programs to calculate the net amount of the sale (“Net Amount“).

EduQskills makes all instructor payments in Indian Rupees (INR) regardless of the currency with which the sale was made. We will assume transaction processing fees, excluding foreign currency conversion fees and wiring fees. Your revenue report and converted revenue amount will show the sales price in Indian Rupees.

5.2 Receiving Payments

For us to pay you in a timely manner, you must own a PayPal or GooglePay account in good standing and must keep us informed of the correct email associated with your account. We reserve the right to withhold payments or impose other penalties if we do not receive proper identifying information or tax documentation from you. You understand and agree that you are ultimately responsible for any taxes on your income.

Depending on the applicable revenue share model, payment will be made within 30 days of the end of the month in which (a) we receive the fee for a course or (b) the relevant course consumption occurred.

This condition applicable only for the course fee transferred using EduQskills Payment Gateway.

5.3 Refunds

You acknowledge and agree that learners have the right to receive a refund, as detailed in the Terms of Use. Instructors will not receive any revenue from transactions for which a refund has been granted under the Terms of Use.

If a student asks for a refund after we have paid the relevant instructor payment, we reserve the right to either (1) deduct the amount of the refund from the next payment sent to the instructor or (2) where no further payments are due to the instructor or the payments are insufficient to cover the refunded amounts, require the instructor to refund any amounts refunded to learners for the instructor’s courses.

This condition applicable only for the course fee transferred using EduQskills Payment Gateway.

6. Trademarks

While you are a published instructor and subject to the requirements below, you may use our trademarks where we authorize you to do so.

You must:

• only use the images of our trademarks that we make available to you.
• only use our trademarks in connection with the promotion and sale of your EduQskills courses or your participation on EduQskills; and
• immediately comply if we request that you discontinue use.

You must not:

• use our trademarks in a misleading or disparaging way;
• use our trademarks in a way that implies that we endorse, sponsor, or approve of your courses or services; or
• use our trademarks in a way that violates applicable law or in connection with an obscene, indecent, or unlawful topic or material.
