ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This agency relationship defines the scope of Teachable's authority over Creator funds and may affect when payment is legally considered received by the Creator.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

When a Student pays through Teachable Native Gateways, Teachable is collecting that payment as the Creator's limited agent, not on its own behalf.
