"Such content is provided as a resource only and does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, certification, or guarantee by Teachable of any Featured Provider or the quality or reliability of their services. Teachable has not independently verified any Featured Provider's qualifications or representations. Featured Providers are independent third parties, not agents or employees of Teachable. Teachable may receive compensation, including commissions made from sales to You, from such Featured Providers. You are solely responsible for conducting due diligence before engaging any Featured Provider. Your engagement is at Your own risk and governed by separate terms between You and the Featured Provider. Teachable disclaims all warranties regarding any Featured Provider. You shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Teachable and its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents, from all claims, losses, damages, and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from Your engagement of any Featured Provider.Excerpt from Teachable's Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The disclosure that Teachable may receive compensation from Featured Providers engages FTC endorsement and disclosure guidelines, which require clear and conspicuous disclosure of material commercial relationships at the point of promotion. The adequacy of the disclosure as contained in the Terms rather than at the point of Featured Provider content presentation is a relevant compliance consideration. The FTC is the primary enforcement authority. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The user indemnification obligation for Featured Provider engagements shifts all liability for third-party service provider interactions to the user, including reasonable attorneys' fees. This is a broad indemnification scope for interactions that may be influenced by platform-presented content. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU consumer protection law may limit the enforceability of blanket indemnification clauses in consumer contracts. California's CLRA may similarly constrain liability shifts where the platform has a commercial relationship with the Featured Provider. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Users engaging Featured Providers featured on Teachable should conduct independent due diligence before contracting, as the Terms explicitly disclaim all warranties and verification. The availability of written confirmation of compensation arrangements upon request is a relevant due diligence mechanism disclosed in the document. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether Teachable's Featured Provider compensation disclosures satisfy FTC guidelines at the point of content presentation rather than only within the Terms of Service, and whether the indemnification clause is enforceable under applicable consumer protection law in relevant jurisdictions.
