Terms & Conditions for Instructors

The following are the Terms and Conditions for all Instructors (referred on the site also as Authors / Teachers) who publish their courses on the EDUfyre.com eLearning Marketplace. By signing up to teach and publish your courses on EDUfyre you agree to all these terms. Repeated violations may result in a temporary of permanent ban, depending on the severity of the violation.

In addition you may read the FAQs for Instructors.

Registration

Every instructor must go through a pre-screen registration procedure by submitting a registration form. Our Instructor Evaluation team will screen your registration and revert back to you within one business day with an approval email, if you are approved in the screening process.

Course Policy for Marketplace

We take the course approval process very seriously, as we are very strict on the kind of course content we would like to see in our marketplace.

Our course review team reviews all courses submitted for approval by Instructors.

Publishing Your Courses

Once you are accepted as an Instructor to publish and teach courses on EDUfyre.com - you will receive an on-boarding email from our course content team at [email protected]. The "Welcome Email" will contain basic steps and guide you on the Do's and Dont's of the marketplace.

Publishing a new course on EDUfyre basically involves 2 steps. The first is to create a new course, and the second is to let us know when ready so our course moderation team can review and make it live on EDufyre. You can send us your course details through the New Course Submission link from inside your dashboard.

Step 1

As part of the course creation process you will need to set the name of the course, description, introductory preview video, course image thumbnail, price of the course, and the individual sections and lectures.

Do note that while you are creating a new course and uploading its individual lectures, you need to click the "publish" button on the top right corner while creating each new lecture that you wish to be visible to students once they sign up.

You may see the Instructor Guide here for help on how to create new courses and lectures from your Instructor Dashboard.

Step 2

Once you are done adding all the course material, you will need to send us a request to review the new course and publish it for inclusion in the marketplace.

To send a request to review your new course, simply click on the "Instructor" link on the header of your main homepage dashboard at edufyre.com while logged in, and then select the option "Submit New Course Approval".

Our course moderation team will then review the course and publish it within 1 or 2 business days. If there is anything that needs to be changed or corrected, they will let you know by email so you can do the needful before its is published on the marketplace.

From time to time we run onsite and offsite promotions and we will include your course at the best suitable price based on the deal we are offering. If you do not want to be included in such promotions, please let us know by writing to [email protected]

Branding Your Course

You may now reasonably include your contact information or any URLs and domains names etc. in the course material. This includes your main course sales page, any preview videos and content people see. The contact information should not be jarring or too prominent.

Please make sure you do not insert any links to pages offsite in which you collect email addresses or ask students to pay or opt-in BEFORE they can access information. You are allowed to link out to your blogs or company pages from inside the course.

Repeated or serious violations of this may result in a suspension or a ban of your account.

Updating Your Course After it is Live in the Marketplace

Once your course is published and live in the marketplace, you may not make any changes to it and add or remove content without notifying us of these changes. Should you make any changes to your course please update us immediately after you make these changes by sending an email to [email protected]. If you do not inform us of any course updates you make, it will be a direct violation of the Terms and Conditions.

Accessing Your Students Data

You will see the names of your students and you may communicate and help them through the discussion below each courses individual lecture. You will also get to see advanced analytics and metrics for each course through your dashboard dashboard.

Instructor Payments

Instructors on EDUfyre.com are paid 50% revenue share for course enrolments 30 days after the end of the month in which a sale was made. This 30-day period is necessary to account for any refunds, since students have 30 days to request a refund on any course purchased through the system.

For example - if you sell 10 course downloads in the month of July, your revenue share payment will be made at the end of August.

You will be paid directly by our technology providers. We have a solid platform to handle all your payments and transactions, and use Stripe and Paypal to collect payments, and we use PayPal to issue out payments to instructors. Please ensure you have accurate PayPal address included in your Instructor Dashboard.

You will receive your payment based on the revenue share stated in your agreement with EDUfyre.com (usually 50%) after Teachable takes their processing fee (which is currently 2% of the total course sale cost). In the event that an Affiliate has promoted your course for the sale, then your revenue share percentage is applied after the Affiliate Commission (20%) is deducted from the total course sale amount.

Promotions

From time to time, we will conduct promotions, contests and/or giveaways on the site, through email, online advertising etc. Your courses will automatically be included in all such events and special pricing deals (including offering bonuses, discounted pricing or freebies) to winners and participants unless you explicitly tell us not to include your courses by mailing us at [email protected]

In the event that we conduct any paid advertising campaigns directly or indirectly, a flat 50% commission will be deducted towards the payment for the campaign per sale of your course made directly from the campaign (tracked via affiliate link and cookie of the paid campaign), and then your author revenue share percentage will be calculated from the remaining 50%.

Also, do note that from time to time EDUfyre runs special deals and promotions and discounted pricing as low as $10 per course. By signing up and publishing your courses on EDUfyre you agree to allow us to use your course for these deals, promotions and any special discounted pricing. Should you object to any such pricing you will have to contact [email protected] AND [email protected] by email informing exclusion from any or all special deals, promotions and discounted pricing on our website.

Our Affiliate Program

From time to time, we may have affiliates who will sign up to promote your courses. You will automatically be signed up in our listing of your courses in as part of the Affiliate program unless you tell us to exclude you by mailing us at [email protected]. When an affiliate promotes courses, you will receive your revenue share calculated after the Affiliate Commission Fees are paid on the total cost the course is sold for.

As an example - if a course sells for $100, and the affiliate commission is 10% you will get your instructor revenue share as negotiated with EDUfyre from the remaining 90% amount.

All instructors also agree to our general Terms of Use listed here.

The Instructor Terms and Conditions and Terms of Use policy may be updated from time to time without any prior notice, and on doing so their respected pages on EDUfyre.com will be updated.
