Why it matters

Teachers and Students who create or upload original content should understand that Skillshare can use their work without paying them additional compensation beyond what the platform already provides.

Consumer impact

Skillshare's Terms significantly limit consumers' legal recourse by requiring binding individual arbitration and waiving class action rights for all disputes. Subscriptions auto-renew and charge your payment method automatically, with very limited refund options and no refund if you cancel mid-cycle. You can opt out of mandatory arbitration by sending a written notice to Skillshare within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms.
