Legal for course creators: Terms of Use with your students (S4E85)
b'
Terms of Use, Terms of Service\\u2026 whatever you call it, you might not think of it as a contract, but it is \\u2013 and an important one at that! This week\\u2019s solo episode is all about this critical contract between you and your customers, students, or clients.
In this episode, you\\u2019ll learn:
- Where your TOU must be linked on your website
- The 11 terms you should include in your TOU to protect you and your students
- Why including more strict terms in your TOU is always better, and how you can be gentler when difficult circumstances come up
- Why including a \\u201crefunds at our discretion\\u201d clause is a bad idea
- How your TOU can give you a way to resolve issues with someone stealing your intellectual property, without having to file a costly copyright or trademark lawsuit
Key takeaway: Unlike your website\\u2019s privacy policy, TOU are not required by law, but they are the legal foundation of your course business. \\xa0Strong TOU will put you and your customers on the same page and will save you a lot of legal headaches.
