SkillAmpify Instructor Agreement
Effective date
October 1, 2026
This Instructor Agreement governs participation as an instructor on SkillAmpify. By checking the acceptance box, creating or maintaining an instructor account, or submitting a course after the effective date, you agree to this Agreement, the Instructor Earnings and Payout Policy, the Privacy Policy, and other policies expressly incorporated here. If you do not agree, do not submit or publish a course.
1. Eligibility and instructor account
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into this Agreement. You must provide accurate account, contact, payout, and tax information; protect your login credentials; and promptly update information that changes. You are responsible for activity conducted through your account unless you notify SkillAmpify promptly of suspected unauthorized access.
2. Independent relationship
You participate as an independent course provider, not as an employee, partner, joint venturer, franchisee, or agent of SkillAmpify. You control the subject matter and creation of your courses, subject to this Agreement and platform requirements. You may not make commitments or representations on behalf of SkillAmpify.
3. Course submission and standards
You may submit courses and related materials for review. SkillAmpify may approve, reject, request revisions to, unpublish, or remove content to maintain quality, comply with law, protect users, or enforce platform policies. You are responsible for keeping course descriptions, pricing, materials, and professional information accurate and current.
Courses must not contain unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, discriminatory, harassing, sexually exploitative, dangerous, or deceptive content; malware or harmful code; unauthorized personal information; or material that infringes another person's intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or contractual rights. You must have all permissions, releases, and licenses needed for anything you upload.
You may not manipulate reviews or enrollments, misrepresent credentials or results, collect learners' payment-card information, bypass SkillAmpify checkout for a SkillAmpify sale, or use learner information for unrelated marketing without valid permission.
4. Ownership and license
As between you and SkillAmpify, you retain ownership of original course content you create. You grant SkillAmpify a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license during the term of this Agreement to host, reproduce, format, display, distribute, transmit, and make your course content available through the platform and to use reasonable excerpts, course images, your name, biography, and approved marks to operate and promote SkillAmpify and your courses.
This license ends after termination except to the extent reasonably necessary to serve learners who purchased access before removal, maintain legal and financial records, preserve backups for a limited period, or resolve disputes. SkillAmpify retains ownership of its platform, branding, software, page designs, and materials it creates.
5. Pricing, payments, and payouts
You set the listed price for each course, subject to platform requirements and any promotion you separately approve. SkillAmpify collects student payments through its checkout and payment providers and grants access after successful payment confirmation.
Instructor earnings and payouts are governed by the Instructor Earnings and Payout Policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement. Stripe or another payment provider first deducts applicable processing fees. Tutor LMS then applies the current split of 80% of remaining net revenue to the instructor and 20% to SkillAmpify. Discounts, taxes, refunds, chargebacks, reversals, and similar adjustments may affect net revenue.
Earnings remain pending for seven days. You must have at least $100 in available earnings and submit a withdrawal request. SkillAmpify reviews requests and sends approved payouts manually. Stripe Connect is not currently used for instructor payouts. You authorize the adjustments described in the Instructor Earnings and Payout Policy.
6. Refunds and learner access
Student purchases are subject to the SkillAmpify Refund Policy. When a purchase is refunded, reversed, or charged back, SkillAmpify may remove or restrict course access and deduct the affected instructor share from pending or future earnings. If future earnings are insufficient, SkillAmpify may contact you to resolve the balance.
7. Taxes
You are responsible for determining and paying taxes associated with your instructor earnings. SkillAmpify may request taxpayer information and provide or file tax documentation when required by law. The current platform does not automatically create instructor tax forms, and Stripe Connect is not used for instructor tax reporting.
8. Learner information and privacy
You may use learner information available through SkillAmpify only to deliver and support the applicable course or as otherwise permitted by law and the learner. You must protect it, limit access to people who need it for those purposes, and not sell it or export it for unrelated solicitation. SkillAmpify handles information as described in the Privacy Policy.
9. Confidential information
You must protect nonpublic information about SkillAmpify, its learners, business operations, security, and other instructors. This obligation does not cover information that becomes public through no breach by you, was lawfully known to you without restriction, or must be disclosed by law.
10. Course claims and professional responsibility
You are responsible for the accuracy and supportability of claims made in your courses and promotional materials. Unless specifically approved in writing, do not represent that SkillAmpify endorses your credentials, guarantees learner results, or certifies that a course satisfies a licensing, employment, academic, financial, legal, medical, or regulatory requirement. Educational content is not a substitute for individualized professional advice where such advice is required.
11. Term, suspension, and termination
This Agreement begins when you accept it and continues until terminated. You may stop offering new courses by notifying SkillAmpify, subject to existing learner access and unresolved transactions. SkillAmpify may suspend or terminate an instructor account or remove content for material breach, fraud, security risk, legal requirements, repeated learner harm, or conduct that threatens the platform.
After termination, SkillAmpify will reconcile legitimate unpaid earnings, refunds, disputes, chargebacks, and lawful offsets. Sections that by their nature should survive, including ownership, licenses needed for prior purchasers, confidentiality, taxes, disclaimers, liability limits, and dispute terms, will survive.
12. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, SkillAmpify provides the platform and related services on an “as is” and “as available” basis and does not guarantee uninterrupted availability, a particular number of enrollments, earnings, reviews, or learner outcomes.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, SkillAmpify will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities arising from the platform or this Agreement. SkillAmpify's aggregate liability arising from this Agreement will not exceed the amount SkillAmpify retained from sales of your courses during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. These limitations do not apply where prohibited by law.
13. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SkillAmpify and its owners, officers, employees, and service providers from third-party claims, damages, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your course content, your breach of this Agreement, your violation of law, or your infringement of another person's rights. SkillAmpify will provide reasonable notice of a covered claim and allow you to participate in its defense, subject to SkillAmpify's right to protect its interests.
14. Governing law and disputes
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a lawsuit, the parties will attempt in good faith for 30 days to resolve the dispute after written notice. If the dispute is not resolved, it may be brought in a state or federal court with jurisdiction in Virginia. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief or using a court with mandatory jurisdiction.
15. Changes, notices, and general terms
SkillAmpify may update this Agreement prospectively. Material changes will be communicated before taking effect, and renewed acceptance may be required. If one provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer this Agreement without SkillAmpify's written consent. SkillAmpify may transfer it in connection with a merger, reorganization, financing, or sale of the platform or substantially all related assets.
This Agreement and the incorporated policies form the agreement between SkillAmpify and the instructor regarding the subjects they cover and supersede prior inconsistent discussions or statements.
