Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Instructor hereby grants HippoCampus Hub, during the term of this agreement a permanent right and license to sell, reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, offer, market and otherwise use the Courses to the Students and for these purposes only. For the purposes of this agreement, “sale” or “selling” with respect to the Courses means “licensed” and “licensing”; without limiting the foregoing, HippoCampus Hub  acknowledges and agrees that all Courses are licensed, and not sold, to Students. The instructor has the right to amend, update and/or remove any course or any content of a course at any time.
HippoCampus Hub  will be exclusively responsible for the assessment of the students who bought courses through the website and will provide all necessary customer care, support, information and certifications to the students. Instructor hereby agrees that HippoCampus Hub  website (hippocampushub.com) may record all or any part of any Courses (other than any part that is Instructor’s intellectual property) including voice chat communications for quality control and delivering, marketing, promoting, demonstrating or operating the Services; “Services” means HippoCampus Hub ’s marketing, delivery, administration, maintenance and provision of the Courses to Students and potential Students. Any recording of a Course shall be deemed a copy and/or derivative work of the Course.
HippoCampus Hub  agrees to (i) perform the Services in a competent and commercially reasonable fashion; (ii) manage and maintain the HippoCampus Hub  Websites in a commercially reasonable fashion, at its sole expense, to create, manage, operate, maintain and host its Websites and other technology, and all content contained therein, and shall ensure that the Websites have commercially reasonable operating policies and procedures applicable to its Website, including without limitation, commercially reasonable terms of use and privacy policies that are in accordance with all applicable laws; and (iii) will ensure that its marketing and provision of the Courses are done with good business ethics and in a commercially reasonable manner, and without prejudicing the reputation of Instructor or Instructor’s products and services, including the Courses.

2. Course Pricing:

HippoCampus Hub  will be free to determine the price (“Course Price”) or  any Course; provided, however, that in no event shall the Course Price be offered at or below the (“Lowest Price”), regardless of whether the Course is offered alone or in combination with other courses. If a Course is offered at a price equal to or lower than the Lowest Price, HippoCampus Hub shall calculate the profit as if the Course had been offered at the Lowest Price. Courses may not be bundled with any other third-party courses, offerings or other content.

3. Revenue:

HippoCampus Hub makes all instructor payments in Canadian dollars (CAD) regardless of the currency with which the sale was made. HippoCampus Hub 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 CAD).
HippoCampus Hub will take 30% of all transactions after Stripe service fees and Taxes. The educator/professional will receive 70%.

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 are collected by the mobile platform (such as Apple's App Store or Google Play).

Relationship to Other Users

You agree that you will not use the data you receive for any purpose other than providing your services to those students on the HippoCampus Hub platform, and that you won't solicit additional personal data or store students' personal data outside the HippoCampus Hub platform.

Refunds

If the instructor starts the class and is a couple classes into it and then cancels the remaining classes (i.e., In the case of an 8-week session) then we issue a refund for the undelivered class portion and instructor does not get paid for it and since we have already paid the instructor out, they must refund the portion owed.
