Coursera Terms of Use

These terms govern how you can use Coursera's platform: you get a personal, non-commercial license that Coursera can revoke at any time for any reason. Any content you post gives Coursera a permanent, worldwide right to use and share it freely. If you have a dispute with Coursera, you must resolve it through individual arbitration — not in court — and you cannot join a class action; Coursera's total financial liability to you is capped at $20 or what you paid in the last six months.

Coursera's Terms of Use establish the conditions under which users may access and use the platform's services, granting users a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license for personal, non-commercial use only. Users who submit content grant Coursera a perpetual, fully transferable, royalty-free, sublicensable, worldwide license to copy, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, and otherwise use that content. Coursera caps its aggregate liability to any user at $20 or fees paid in the past six months, excludes all indirect and consequential damages, and reserves the right to terminate user access for any reason. All disputes must be resolved through binding individual arbitration, with both parties waiving rights to court proceedings, jury trials, and class or collective actions. Commercial use without a separate agreement and access by users under age 13 are strictly prohibited, as is use of platform content for text or data mining or AI training and development.

As a Coursera user, your access is revocable at any time for any reason, and any content you submit is licensed to Coursera permanently and without payment. Fee changes for paid services take effect immediately upon posting at Coursera's sole discretion, with no advance notice required. You are required to resolve all disputes with Coursera through binding individual arbitration and waive your right to sue in court or participate in a class action. If you disagree with a fee change or service change, your practical recourse is to stop using the paid service before the change affects you.
