Skillshare Terms of Service

This document constitutes the Terms of Service for Skillshare, Inc., a Delaware corporation, governing use of the Skillshare platform, the Superpeer platform (acquired by Skillshare), Creatorsuite.com, mobile applications, and live Events, with the agreement stating it is legally binding upon account creation or any access to the Services. The terms authorize Skillshare to unilaterally modify the Terms at any time with changes taking effect upon continued use, reserve the right to terminate or suspend accounts without notice, establish mandatory binding individual arbitration with a class action and jury trial waiver for all disputes, and grant Skillshare a broad, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, distribute, and create derivative works from user-submitted content. The arbitration clause applies retroactively to claims that arose before the effective date of these Terms, which is operationally distinct from many peer platforms that limit arbitration to prospective claims; the user content license grants Skillshare sublicensable rights without a clear durational limit tied to account termination, and the refund provision states that users are entitled to at most one refund to the extent permissible under applicable law, though applicable consumer protection law in various jurisdictions may provide broader refund rights than the agreement asserts. The document engages GDPR and analogous state privacy frameworks through its data-sharing provisions, COPPA and similar age-gating frameworks through its 18-year minimum age requirement, FTC Act consumer protection standards through its auto-renewal and refund terms, and FERPA through its role as an education platform; EU and UK consumer law may limit enforceability of the arbitration clause, class action waiver, and unilateral modification provisions for users in those jurisdictions. Compliance teams should note that Skillshare's expansion of these Terms to cover Superpeer users following an acquisition, without specifying a separate transition notice period, may warrant review under applicable data transfer and consent obligations.
