3.1 Full Course Completion

The Tutor agrees to design and deliver each Course in accordance with the syllabus, duration, schedule, and description published on the Platform and to complete the entire Course without abandoning or permanently discontinuing it.

3.2 Continuity and Rescheduling

(a) If the Tutor needs to reschedule any class or session due to genuine reasons (including illness, emergency, or other unavoidable circumstances), the Tutor shall:

• (i) provide reasonable prior notice to enrolled Learners, where practicable; and
• (ii) reschedule and deliver the missed class or session so that the entire syllabus is ultimately completed.

(b) Temporary rescheduling in good faith is permitted; however, abandoning the Course or failing to complete the syllabus is strictly prohibited.

3.3 No Mid-Course Withdrawal

The Tutor shall not intentionally withdraw from, discontinue, or abandon a Course after Learners have enrolled and/or paid, except with the Company’s prior written consent. Any unauthorised mid-course withdrawal shall be treated as non-completion under Clause 6.

4.1 No Offensive or Harmful Conduct

During any class, session, communication, chat, or in any Course material, the Tutor shall not:

• (a) use abusive, insulting, vulgar, or inappropriate language;
• (b) engage in harassment, bullying, or targeted attacks against any individual or group;
• (c) promote or endorse hate, discrimination, or violence based on religion, caste, gender, sexual orientation, disability, nationality, or any other protected characteristic;
• (d) share, display, or promote pornographic, sexually explicit, or otherwise inappropriate content; or
• (e) promote illegal activities or misleading or unverified financial or health-related claims.

4.2 Professional Conduct

The Tutor shall conduct all classes and interactions in a professional manner, including but not limited to:

• (a) being reasonably punctual and prepared;
• (b) responding to Learner questions respectfully; and
• (c) maintaining a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment.

4.3 Platform Reputation

The Tutor recognises that their conduct directly impacts the reputation and goodwill of the Platform. Serious or repeated violations of this Clause 4 shall entitle the Company, at its sole discretion, to suspend or remove the Tutor and/or their Courses from the Platform and to withhold unpaid amounts in accordance with this Agreement.

5.1 Collection of Course Fees

All fees payable by Learners in respect of a Course shall be collected by the Company (whether through payment gateways or other approved channels). Learners shall not pay the Tutor directly for any Course conducted through the Platform unless explicitly authorised in writing by the Company.

5.2 Platform Service and Processing Fee

(a) From the total fees collected from Learners for a Course, the Company shall deduct a Platform Service and Processing Fee (“Platform Fee”) to cover, without limitation:

• (i) payment gateway and transaction charges;
• (ii) technology, infrastructure, and hosting costs;
• (iii) customer support, dispute handling, and learner assistance; and
• (iv) platform operations, maintenance, marketing, and administration.

(b) The Platform Fee shall be as notified in writing (including through the Platform) by the Company from time to time.

(c) After deduction of the Platform Fee, the remaining amount shall constitute the Tutor’s gross earnings for that Course, subject to further adjustments under this Agreement.

5.3 Course Completion & Rating-Based Payouts

(a) The Tutor acknowledges and agrees that no earnings are paid upfront for a Course.

(b) For each Course, the Tutor’s earnings shall be released only after both of the following conditions are met:

• (i) The Tutor has successfully completed the Course as per the syllabus and schedule published on the Platform for that batch; and
• (ii) The Course has achieved an average rating of more than 3.0 out of 5.0 for that batch, calculated on the basis of the feedback / ratings actually submitted by Students on the Platform.

Example: If 20 Students are enrolled in a Course and 15 Students submit feedback with an average rating higher than 3.0 out of 5.0, the payout for that batch will be processed. If fewer Students submit feedback, the average rating will still be calculated only from those who have rated, and payout will be processed if the average is greater than 3.0 out of 5.0.

(c) This payout model is intended to reward Tutors who complete their syllabus and maintain positive student feedback, helping them grow their reputation and earnings on the Platform over time.

(d) The Company may define or update, from time to time, the minimum average rating threshold and the payout timelines, and such details shall be communicated to the Tutor via the Platform or in writing.

5.4 Confirmation of Completion

To determine whether a Milestone has been completed, the Company may rely on platform-generated logs, Learner attendance records, Learner feedback, internal review, and other relevant data. The Company’s determination regarding completion of any Milestone shall be final and binding for payout purposes.

5.5 Payout Timeline

Subject to this Agreement, applicable laws, and successful completion of the relevant Milestone, the Company shall endeavour to release each eligible payout to the Tutor within a reasonable timeframe after confirming Milestone completion and ensuring there are no major unresolved Learner disputes relating to that Milestone.

6.1 Consequences of Non-Completion

If the Tutor abandons a Course, repeatedly cancels classes, fails to complete the syllabus, or is removed due to misconduct, the Company may withhold all unpaid amounts for that Course and/or declare that the Tutor is not entitled to any payment for any uncompleted portion.

6.2 Impact on Platform Image

In serious cases of non-completion, misconduct, or repeated breach, the Company may permanently or temporarily restrict the Tutor from creating or publishing new Courses, remove the Tutor’s Courses/profile, and publish appropriate notices to Learners.

6.3 Refunds and Adjustments

If the Company decides to provide refunds or credits to Learners due to non-completion, misconduct, or materially poor delivery by the Tutor, the Company may deduct such amounts from the Tutor’s current or future earnings.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Tutor retains ownership of their original teaching content created independently by the Tutor, including slides, notes, examples, and explanations (“Tutor Content”).
