"In the unlikely event that there is a dispute over the ownership of an account, Teachable has the right to request additional information from You to determine ownership and settle the dispute. Should a dispute arise, Teachable reserves the right to determine the account ownership in its sole judgment, and the ability to transfer the account to the rightful owner, unless otherwise prohibited by law.Excerpt from Teachable's Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The sole judgment standard for account ownership determination may engage state consumer protection statutes if the process is applied in a manner that affects a user's access to revenue, content, or business operations without adequate procedural protections. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. Account ownership disputes are acknowledged as unlikely in the document, but the sole judgment standard without a stated appeal process creates asymmetric risk for Creator businesses with multiple stakeholders or employment transitions. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU consumer protection law may impose procedural fairness requirements on dispute resolution mechanisms that affect access to contracted services. California consumer protection statutes may similarly apply. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations that operate Teachable schools through employee accounts should establish internal governance procedures for account ownership documentation to support any Teachable ownership determination process. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams advising Creator businesses should document account ownership credentials and maintain records of the information categories Teachable may request, including photo ID, business documents, tax forms, and billing information.
