When you create a course on the Lifecoach platform, you agree to abide by these Course Creator Terms ("Terms"). These Terms cover details about the aspects of the Lifecoach platform relevant to Coaches who create courses (Course Creator) and are incorporated by reference into our Terms of Use, the general terms that govern your use of our Services. Any capitalised terms that aren't defined in these Terms are defined as specified in the Terms of Use.


As a Course Creator, you are contracting directly with Lifecoach, regardless of whether another Lifecoach subsidiary facilitates payments to you.


1. Course Creator Obligations


As a Course Creator, you are responsible for all content that you post, including lectures, assignments, resources, answers, course landing page content, and announcements ("Submitted Content").


You represent and warrant that:

  • you will provide and maintain accurate account information;
  • you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, permissions, and authority to authorise Lifecoach to use your Submitted Content as specified in these Terms and the Terms of Use;
  • your Submitted Content will not infringe or misappropriate any third party's intellectual property rights;
  • you have the required qualifications, credentials, and expertise (including education, training, knowledge, and skill sets) to teach and offer the services that you offer through your Submitted Content and use of the Services; and
  • you will respond promptly to students and ensure a quality of service that corresponds with the standards of your industry and instruction services in general.

You warrant that you will not:

  • post or provide any inappropriate, offensive, racist, hateful, sexist, pornographic, false, misleading, incorrect, infringing, defamatory or libellous content or information;
  • post or transmit any unsolicited or unauthorised advertising, promotional materials, junk mail, spam, or any other form of solicitation (commercial or otherwise) through the Services or to any user;
  • use the Services for business other than providing tutoring, teaching, and instructional services to students;
  • engage in any activity that would require us to obtain licenses from or pay royalties to any third party, including the need to pay royalties for the public performance of a musical work or sound recording;
  • frame or embed the Services (such as to embed a free version of a course) or otherwise circumvent the Services;
  • impersonate another person or gain unauthorised access to another person's account;
  • interfere with or otherwise prevent other instructors from providing their services or courses; or
  • abuse Lifecoach resources, including support services.

2. License to Lifecoach


You grant Lifecoach the rights detailed in the Terms of Use to offer, market, and otherwise exploit your Submitted Content, and to sublicense it to students for these purposes directly or through third parties. This includes the right to add captions or otherwise modify content to ensure accessibility.


Unless otherwise agreed (including within our Promotions Policy), you have the right to remove all or any portion of your Submitted Content from the Services at any time. Except as otherwise agreed, Lifecoach's right to sublicense the rights in this section will terminate with respect to new users 60 days after the Submitted Content's removal. However, (1) rights given to students before the Submitted Content's removal will continue in accordance with the terms of those licenses (including any grants of lifetime access) and (2) Lifecoach's right to use such Submitted Content for marketing purposes shall survive termination.


We may record all or any part of your Submitted Content for quality control and for delivering, marketing, promoting, demonstrating, or operating the Services. You grant Lifecoach permission to use your name, likeness, voice, and image in connection with offering, delivering, marketing, promoting, demonstrating, and selling the Services, your Submitted Content, or Lifecoach's content, and you waive any rights of privacy, publicity, or other rights of a similar nature, to the extent permissible under applicable law.


3. Trust & Safety


3.1 Trust & Safety Policies


You agree to abide by Lifecoach's Trust & Safety policies, Restricted Topics policy, and other course quality standards or policies prescribed by Lifecoach from time to time. You should check these policies periodically to ensure that you comply with any updates to them. You understand that your use of the Services is subject to Lifecoach's approval, which we may grant or deny at our sole discretion.


We reserve the right to remove courses, suspend payouts, and/or ban Course Creators (Coaches) for any reason at any time, without prior notice, including in cases where:

  • a Course Creator or course does not comply with our policies or legal terms (including the Terms of Use);
  • a course falls below our quality standards or has a negative impact on the student experience;
  • a Course Creator engages in behaviour that might reflect unfavourably on Lifecoach or bring Lifecoach into public disrepute, contempt, scandal, or ridicule;
  • an instructor engages the services of a marketer or other business partner who violates Lifecoach's policies; or
  • as determined by Lifecoach in its sole discretion.

3.2 Co-Instructors and Teaching Assistants


The Lifecoach platform may allow you to add other users as co-instructors or teaching assistants for courses that you manage. By adding a co-instructor or teaching assistant, you understand that you are authorising them to take certain actions that affect your Lifecoach account and courses. Lifecoach is not able to advise on any questions or mediate any disputes between you and such users. If your co-instructors have an assigned revenue share, their share will be paid out of your earned revenue share based on the ratios you have specified in your Course Management settings as of the date of the purchase.


3.3 Relationship to Other Users


Course Creators do not have a direct contractual relationship with students, so the only information you'll receive about students is what is provided to you through the Services. You agree that you will not use the data you receive for any purpose other than providing your services to those students on the Lifecoach platform, and that you won't solicit additional personal data or store students' personal data outside the Lifecoach platform. You will indemnify Lifecoach against any claims arising from your use of students' personal data.


3.4 Anti-Piracy Efforts


We may partner with anti-piracy vendors to help protect your courses from unauthorised use. To enable this protection, you hereby appoint Lifecoach and our anti-piracy vendors as your agents for the purpose of enforcing copyrights for each of your courses, through notice and takedown processes (under applicable copyright laws like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act) and for other efforts to enforce those rights. You grant Lifecoach and our anti-piracy vendors primary authority to file notices on your behalf to enforce your copyright interests.


You agree that Lifecoach and our anti-piracy vendors will retain the above rights unless you revoke them by sending an email to hello@lifecoach.io with the subject line: "Revoke Anti-Piracy Protection Rights" from the email address associated with your account. Any revocation of rights will be effective 48 hours after we receive it.


4. Pricing


4.1 Price Setting


When creating a course, you will be prompted to input a currency ("Base Currency") and a price ("Base Price") and for your course. Alternatively, you may choose to offer your course for free. You may also be given the opportunity to participate in certain promotional programs under the terms of our Promotions Policy ("Promotional Programs").


If you do not opt to participate in any Promotional Programs, we will list your course for the Base Price or the closest local or equivalent (as detailed below).


When a Student purchases using a foreign currency, we will convert the relevant Base Price or Promotional Program price into the Student's applicable currency using a system-wide foreign currency conversion rate and Local Pricing Algorithm set by Lifecoach. Since the Local Pricing Algorithm is proprietary, those conversion rates may not be identical to the applicable market rate in effect when a transaction is processed. We reserve the right to update the Local Pricing Algorithm at any time.


You give us permission to share your courses for free with our employees, with selected partners, and in cases where we need to restore access accounts who have previously purchased your courses. You understand that you will not receive compensation in these cases.


4.2 Transaction Taxes


If a Student purchases a product or service in a country that requires Lifecoach to remit national, state, or local sales or use taxes, value added taxes (VAT), or other similar transaction taxes ("Transaction Taxes"), under applicable law, we may collect and remit those Transaction Taxes to the competent tax authorities for those sales. We may increase the sale price at our discretion where we determine that such taxes may be due. For purchases through mobile applications, applicable Transaction Taxes may be collected by the mobile platform (such as Apple's App Store or Google Play).


4.3 Promotional Programs


Lifecoach may offer optional marketing programs (Promotional Programs) in which you can choose to participate, as detailed in our Promotions Policy. These programs can help increase your revenue potential on Lifecoach by finding the optimal price point for your courses and promoting them through additional marketing channels.


There is no up-front cost to participate in these programs, and you can modify your participation status at any time, though changes you make will not apply to currently active campaigns.


5. Payments


5.1 Revenue Share (Shared Payment Model)


When a Student purchases your course, we calculate the gross amount of the sale as the amount actually received by Lifecoach from the student ("Gross Amount"). From this, we subtract any Transaction Taxes and any amounts paid to third parties in connection with the Promotional Programs to calculate the net amount of the sale ("Net Amount").


Your revenue share will be:


  • 90% of the Net Amount less any applicable deductions, such as student refunds, where you have originated the sale using your unique course referral code.
  • 50% of the Net Amount less any applicable deductions, such as student refunds where the sale is not attributed to your unique course referral code. 


If we change these payment rates, we will provide you 30 days notice using prominent means, such as via email or by posting a notice through our Services.


If you opt into any of the Promotional Programs, the relevant revenue share may be different and will be as specified in the Promotions Policy.


5.2 Receiving Payments


For us to pay you in a timely manner, you must own a Stripe account in good standing, and must keep us informed of the correct email associated with your account.

You understand and agree that you are ultimately responsible for any taxes on your income.


Depending on the applicable shared payment model, payment will be made within 45 days of the end of the month in which (a) we receive the fee for a course or (b) the relevant course consumption occurred.


As a Course Creator, you are responsible for determining whether you are eligible to be paid by a U.K. company. We reserve the right not to pay out funds in the event of identified fraud, violations of intellectual property rights, or other violations of the law.


If we cannot settle funds into your payment account after the period of time set forth by your state, country, or other government authority in its unclaimed property laws, we may process the funds due to you in accordance with our legal obligations, including by submitting those funds to the appropriate government authority as required by law.


5.3 Refunds


You acknowledge and agree that Students have the right to receive a refund, as detailed in the Terms of Use. Co will not receive any revenue from transactions for which a refund has been granted under the Terms of Use.


If a Student asks for a refund after we have paid the relevant Course Creator payment, we reserve the right to either (1) deduct the amount of the refund from the next payment sent to the Course Creator or (2) where no further payments are due to the Course Creator or the payments are insufficient to cover the refunded amounts, require the Course Creator to refund any amounts refunded to Students for the Course Creator's courses.


6. Trademarks


While you are a published Course Creator and subject to the requirements below, you may use our trademarks where we authorise you to do so.


You must:

  • only use the images of our trademarks that we make available to you, as detailed in any guidelines we may publish;
  • only use our trademarks in connection with the promotion and sale of your Lifecoach courses or your participation on Lifecoach; and
  • immediately comply if we request that you discontinue use.

You must not:

  • use our trademarks in a misleading or disparaging way;
  • use our trademarks in a way that implies that we endorse, sponsor, or approve of your courses or services; or
  • use our trademarks in a way that violates applicable law or in connection with an obscene, indecent, or unlawful topic or material.

You warrant that you aren't restricted from using the Services under UK sanctions or export laws (as an individual or as an officer, director, or controlling shareholder of any entity on whose behalf you use the Services). If you become subject to such a restriction while you are subject to these Course Creator Terms, you will notify Lifecoach within 24 hours, and we will have the right to terminate any further obligations to you, effective immediately and with no further liability to you (but without prejudice to your outstanding obligations to Lifecoach). You will not use the Services to conduct or facilitate any transaction with any other individual or entity subject to such a restriction. You may not remove, export, or allow the export or re-export of the Services (or any product thereof, including technical data) outside the UK in violation of any restrictions, laws, or regulations of the UK or any other applicable country.


8. Deleting Your Account


We'll use commercially reasonable efforts to make any remaining scheduled payments that are owed to you before deleting your account. You understand that if students have previously enrolled in your courses, your name, image and that Submitted Content will remain accessible to those students after your account is deleted. If you need help or encounter difficulty deleting your account, you can contact us via our Support Centre.
