Summary

This is Teachable's Terms of Use, governing the relationship between Teachable and both creators (educators who build and sell courses, coaching, or digital products) and students (buyers of those products) on the platform. The agreement requires creators to indemnify Teachable against claims arising from their content or business practices, limits Teachable's financial liability to amounts paid in the prior twelve months, and requires individual arbitration for dispute resolution with a class action waiver. The terms also grant Teachable a broad content license to host, display, and distribute creator materials as needed to operate the platform.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document governs use of the Teachable platform, including course creation, digital product sales, coaching, memberships, and related services, forming a binding contract between Teachable (operated under Hotmart) and users upon account creation or platform use. The agreement states that creators grant Teachable a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute creator content for platform operation purposes, and the terms authorize Teachable to suspend or terminate accounts for violations of acceptable use policies, with or without prior notice. The terms include broad indemnification obligations requiring creators to defend and hold harmless Teachable against third-party claims arising from creator content, business practices, or tax obligations, and assert that Teachable's liability is limited to amounts paid in the prior twelve months; the agreement also establishes that disputes are subject to binding arbitration on an individual basis with a class action waiver, though such waivers may be limited or unenforceable in certain jurisdictions including California and EU member states. The terms engage consumer protection frameworks enforced by the FTC, state attorneys general, and potentially the DOE where student data is implicated; EU and UK users may also have rights under GDPR and the Consumer Rights Directive that interact with the agreement's arbitration and limitation-of-liability provisions.
