Summary
This document sets out the rules for using Teachable's platform, including how payments are collected, how disputes must be handled, and what Teachable is and is not responsible for. If you have a dispute with Teachable, you must resolve it through private arbitration individually — you cannot join a class action or go to court. Teachable can change its Terms at any time, and simply continuing to use the platform means you agree to whatever the new Terms say.
Analysis
Teachable's Terms of Use establish the rights, obligations, and limitations governing use of its platform by Creators and Students. Teachable retains sole discretion to modify, suspend, or terminate any provision at any time, with continued platform use constituting acceptance of modifications. The document caps Teachable's total liability to any user or third party at amounts paid in the twelve months preceding a claim and excludes liability for a broad range of damage categories including direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, and consequential damages. Dispute resolution is channeled exclusively to binding confidential arbitration administered by JAMS on an individual basis, with claims barred unless filed within one year of accrual. Payment obligations include ACH debit authorization permitting Teachable and its designated processors to withdraw amounts owed directly from a user's bank account, and subscription plans renew automatically unless affirmatively cancelled in writing before the billing cycle ends.
What this means for you
Students purchasing courses through Teachable Native Gateways are entitled to a full refund if requested within fourteen days of purchase. Creators receive only a Student's name, email address, IP address, and enrollment information — no additional personal data is shared. Users authorizing ACH payments grant Teachable and its designated processors the ability to withdraw owed amounts directly from their bank account. Any claim against Teachable must be filed within one year of when it arises. To avoid automatic renewal charges, users must submit a written cancellation by email or through their account before the end of the current billing cycle.
