Submission of Content

In connection with registering for and using the Service, you agree

Pricing, Revenue Share & Payouts

Upon submission of content for sale on the aptLearn platform, instructors are required to create at least one free course. Only after creating a free course will instructors be prompted to select a base price for subsequent paid content from a list of available price tiers. Alternatively, instructors may choose to offer their paid content for free. If an instructor wishes to make their first paid content available for purchase without first creating a free course, they may contact the Course Review team for approval.

Unless and until aptLearn makes changes to these terms, the highest amount that an instructor may charge for a course on the aptLearn platform is 20 GBP (￡20). This amount may be lower, but instructors who believe that their course is comprehensive enough to warrant a higher price may contact aptLearn support for further discussion. Any course with a price above the stated price without prior approval from aptLearn may be rejected.

Revenue Share

When a student purchases your Submitted Content, we calculate the gross amount of the sale as the amount actually received by aptLearn from the student (“Gross Amount”).
From this, we subtract any Transaction Taxes, any mobile platform fees applied to mobile provider checkout sales, a service and processing fee for any non-mobile provider checkout sales, and any amounts paid to third parties in connection with the Promotional Programs to calculate the net amount of the sale (“Net Amount”).
If you have not opted into any of aptLearn‘s optional Promotional Programs, your revenue share will be 55% of the Net Amount.
If we change this payment rate, we will provide you with a 28-day 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.
aptLearn is not responsible for your foreign currency conversion fees, wiring fees, or any other processing fees that you may incur.
Your revenue report will show the sales price (in local currency) and your converted revenue amount (in GBP).

Payouts

To be eligible for payout, an instructor must have accrued a balance of at least 50 GBP or its local currency equivalence. Payouts will be processed within seven (7) days of withdrawal request. aptLearn reserves the right to withhold payout of funds in the event of identified fraud, violations of intellectual property rights, or other violations of the law.

You hereby grant aptLearn Limited a non-exclusive right and license to reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, offer, market, and otherwise use and exploit the Submitted Content through the Services, and sublicense it to Users for these purposes directly or through third parties owned by aptLearn Limited (i.e., other marketplaces).
