  1. Key Definitions

“Base Price” means the course price set by the Instructor within the Price Matrix.

“Base Currency” means the currency of the Base Price.

“Base Exchange Rate” means a system-wide rate used by FutureCFO for foreign currency conversion and does not include any fee or mark-up by FutureCFO. The rate is established using one or more third parties and is fixed periodically. Accordingly, the Base Exchange Rate may not be identical to the applicable market rate in effect at the specific time a foreign currency conversion is processed.

“Instructor Revenue” shall mean Net Amount, less any refunds paid, as provided in Section 10 of the Terms of Use.

“Gross Amount” means the amount actually received by FutureCFO for purchases by Students for Your Course.

“Net Amount” means Gross Amount, less (1) FutureCFO share of the fees (2) for administrative and handling fee, if You choose to opt-in (as further described below).

FutureCFO’s pricing and promotional policy and terms.

“Sale Price” means the actual sale price for the Course. When the Sale Currency is different from the Base Currency, FutureCFO will determine the Sale Price based on the applicable Base Exchange Rate.

“Sale Currency” means the currency of the sale. This is determined by the country of origin of the User purchasing the Course.

All other capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in FutureCFO’s Terms of Use.

In this event, you will receive an email from a member of Our team, explaining the reasons for the refusal to publish.

  1. Content Policy and Visibility

Content must be current, effectively designed, and accurate. Courses must be developed by a subject matter expert, whether through education or experience. The content must be based on learning objectives and outcomes that are relevant to prospective participants in the course, and clearly articulate the knowledge and skills that participants may achieve by taking the course. Courses must be effectively designed to contribute to students’ professional development. Courses are reviewed by a member of Our team before being published. Additionally, where required by an accreditation or governing body, courses may undergo further review by a content reviewer, who is a subject matter expert.

  1. Pricing

As an Instructor, You will be responsible for determining the Base Price You charge Students for Your Course(s). You agree to charge only for Your own Submitted Content. You may not charge separately for any course add-ons such as downloadable PDFs or other content and services (such as providing a link to a third party service to sell downloadable PDFs). The Company will handle billing and other fee interaction with Students. When the Sale Currency is different than the Base Currency, FutureCFO will determine the Sale Price.

As part of Your participation on FutureCFO, You give Us permission to share Your Course, and information about You and the Course with FutureCFO employees and selected partners, for which You will not receive compensation.

FutureCFO offers certain programs that can help you market your Courses (“Marketing Programs”). Marketing Programs may include, but are not limited to, FutureCFO’s Package Credits Program. The complete list and terms of the currently available Marketing Programs are available under our Pricing and Promotions Policy, which may be updated from time to time. If You choose to participate, the fee You receive from FutureCFO will be in accordance with the terms of the particular Marketing Program that applies to the sale of Your Course.

You acknowledge that the amounts paid by Students for Courses sold through Marketing Programs are not fixed, and FutureCFO has the sole discretion to determine those amounts and which Courses to offer as part of such Marketing Programs. Further, FutureCFO does not guarantee any minimum level of success in connection with the Marketing Programs, and its selection of Courses to include is not an endorsement of those Courses, or of You.

You may be able to increase Your sales by promoting Your Courses by using a coupon code that You have created on FutureCFO. For additional information on Instructor created coupons please Contact Us.

  1. Payments

If You do not opt into any of FutureCFO’s optional Marketing Programs, We will pay You a set amount fee of the Net Amount received for Your Course less any applicable deductions such as Student refunds (“Standard Fee Payments”). If FutureCFO changes the Standard Fee Share, we will provide you thirty (30) days notice via email or prominent notice on the Services.

Payment of revenue collected through the platform will be released when a customer begins the first activity of program/course or package purchased. Revenue earned by the instructor is specifically defined as revenue that is available to pay out, after a customer has started an activity, and may not coincide with directly with the purchase date of the programming to allow substitutions or alterations in a timely basis.

So that Company can pay you in a timely manner, you must have a Bank account in good standing and keep FutureCFO apprised as to the correct email address associated with your Bank account. Payment will be made within forty-five (45) days of the end of the month in which the fee for a Course was received. You are responsible for paying taxes to the appropriate authority.

  1. Standard Fees Share

FutureCFO shall take 35% of the eligible course gross revenue and 65% for the Course Instructor, except where the two parties agreed otherwise. The Instructor understands that the Fee Share goes into maintaining the platform. This fee excludes promotional work or course development. The Instructor is responsible for developing, recording, and editing their courses. FutureCFO may help in the development process for an agreed-upon development fee. Such development fees shall be deducted from the Gross revenue.

  1. Refunds

As an Instructor, you acknowledge and agree that Students have the right to receive a refund, as set forth in section 10 of FutureCFO’s Terms of Use. Neither Instructors nor FutureCFO shall receive any payments, fees or commissions for any transactions for which a refund has been granted pursuant to section 10 thereof. In the event that a Student requests a refund for a Course after FutureCFO has sent an Instructor payment for that Course, FutureCFO reserves the right to either (1) deduct the amount of such refund from the next payment to be sent to that Instructor, or (2) require that Instructor to refund any amounts refunded to Students for Instructor’s Course to the extent no additional payments are due from FutureCFO to Instructor or such payments due to the Instructor are insufficient to cover the amounts refunded to Students.

  1. Taxes

You understand and agree that You are responsible for any taxes on Your income. We reserve the right to withhold payment if we are instructed by any Tax Authority.

  1. Deletion of Your Account

 If You wish to delete Your Instructor Account, please Contact Us, and We will make commercially reasonable efforts to respond to Your request within 36 business hours.

From time to time, We may update these Instructor Terms to clarify our practices or to reflect new or different practices, such as when We add new features, and FutureCFO reserves the right to modify and/or make changes to these Instructor Terms at any time. If We make any material change We will notify You using prominent means such as by email notice sent to the email address specified in Your Account or by posting a notice on Our Services. Other modifications will become effective on the day they are posted unless stated otherwise. If You continue to use the Services, after the effective date of any change, then such access and/or use will be deemed an acceptance of and an agreement to follow and be bound by the Instructor Terms as changed.
