These Teacher Terms were last updated February 2, 2024. When you sign up to become an Teacher on the Zed Online Tuitions platform, you agree to abide by these Teacher Terms (‘Terms’).

Payments  

Zed Online Tuitions charges no fees for creating and hosting courses on the platform. This is to encourage content creators as they bring content which benefits students. As an Teacher, you can create as many free and paid courses as possible. You are only limited by your own capabilities.

Teacher Obligations

As an Teacher, you are responsible for all content that you post, including lectures, quizzes, exercises, practice tests, assignments, resources, answers, course landing page content, and announcements (‘Course’).

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 authorize Zed Online Tuitions to use your Course as specified in these Terms and the Terms of Use;
• your Course 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 Course and use of the Services; and
• you will ensure a quality of service that corresponds with the standards of your industry and instruction services in general.
• You will give Zed Online proof of your qualifications

You Warrant That You Will Not:

• post or provide any inappropriate, offensive, racist, hateful, sexist, pornographic, false, misleading, incorrect, infringing, defamatory or libelous content or information;
• post or transmit any unsolicited or unauthorized 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 unauthorized access to another person’s account;
• interfere with or otherwise prevent other Teachers from providing their services or courses; or
• abuse Zed Online Tuitions resources, including support services.

License To Zed Online Tuitions

You grant Zed Online Tuitions the rights to offer, market, and otherwise exploit your Course, and to sublicense it to students for these purposes directly or through third parties. This includes the right to add captions offer coupon codes for discounts or post your content on our social media platforms.

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

Our Rights

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

• a Teacher 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 Teacher engages in behaviour that might reflect unfavourably on Zed Online Tuitions or bring Zed Online Tuitions into public disrepute, contempt, scandal, or ridicule;
• a Teacher engages the services of a marketer or other business partner who violates Zed Online Tuitions’ policies;
• a Teacher seeks or obtain student information for use outside the Zed Online Tuitions platform or as determined by Zed Online Tuitions in its sole discretion.

Co-Teachers And Teaching Assistants

The Zed Online Tuitions platform allows you to add other users as co-Teachers or teaching assistants for courses that you manage. By adding a co-Teacher or teaching assistant, you understand that you are authorizing them to take certain actions that affect your Zed Online Tuitions account and courses. Zed Online Tuitions is not able to advise on any questions or mediate any disputes between you and such users. If your co-Teachers 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.

Relationship To Other Users

Teachers don’t have a direct contractual relationship with students, so the only information you’ll receive about students is what is provided to you through the platform. You agree that you will not use the data you receive for any purpose other than providing your services to those students on the Zed Online Tuitions platform, and that you won’t solicit additional personal data or store students’ personal data outside the Zed Online Tuitions platform. You will not ask students to meet you outside the platform. You will indemnify Zed Online Tuitions against any claims arising from your use of students’ personal data outside the intended purpose outlined in our terms and Privacy Policy.

Price Setting

When creating a course, you will be prompted to determine the price for your course. Alternatively, you may choose to offer your course for free.

Taxes

You are responsible for paying applicable taxes from your course earnings.

Revenue Share

When a student purchases your course, we calculate the gross amount of the sale as the amount actually received by Zed Online Tuitions from the student.

Sharing Earnings

The following information indicates how the earnings are shared between you, the Teacher, and Zed Online Tuitions.

Teacher: 75%

Site administration:  25%

Receiving Payments

For us to pay you in a timely manner, you must own a PayPal, or Mobile Money account in good standing and must keep us informed of the correct email associated with your account. Depending on the applicable revenue share model, payment will be made within 14 days after we receive your request. You can send a request in your dashboard if you meet the minimum earnings specified by us.

Minimum Fees

The minimum earnings is K250 or its equivalent in any currency. You can only request to be paid if you have K250 in earnings.

Refunds

You acknowledge and agree that students have the right to receive a refund. Teachers 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 Teacher payment, we reserve the right to either (1) deduct the amount of the refund from the next payment sent to the Teacher or (2) where no further payments are due to the Teacher or the payments are insufficient to cover the refunded amounts, require the Teacher to refund any amounts refunded to students for the Teacher’s courses.

Updating These Terms

From time to time, we may update these Terms to clarify our practices or to reflect new or different practices (such as when we add new features), and Zed Online Tuitions reserves the right in its sole discretion to modify and/or make changes to these Terms at any time. If we make any material change, we are not under any obligation to inform you. You are responsible for reviewing these terms and conditions from time to time.

Your continued use of our Services after changes become effective shall mean that you accept those changes. Any revised Terms shall supersede all previous Terms.

Relationship Between Us

You and we agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, contractor, or agency relationship exists between us.
