This Instructor Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between iBrothers Group LLC (the company that owns and operates the iGurus platform) and you, the individual or entity applying to become or acting as an instructor on the iGurus platform.

Platform Operator

iBrothers Group LLC, an Indiana limited liability company with its principal place of business at Greenwood, Indiana, USA. iGurus is the online learning platform owned and operated by iBrothers Group LLC. References to "iGurus" in this Agreement refer to iBrothers Group LLC acting through the iGurus platform.

Instructor

The individual or business entity that has applied for and been approved to publish educational content ("Courses") on the iGurus platform, identified by the account associated with the application.

Effective Date

This Agreement takes effect when iGurus approves your instructor application and grants you instructor-level access to the platform.

Incorporation

This Agreement is supplemental to the iGurus Terms & Conditions. In the event of conflict on instructor-specific matters, this Agreement prevails.

To become an iGurus instructor, you must complete and submit an instructor application. iGurus reviews all applications and approves them at its sole discretion. Submission of an application does not guarantee approval.

Required Information

Stripe Payout Email

The email address associated with your Stripe account (payout_email). iGurus uses this to transfer your earned credits. You are responsible for maintaining a valid, active Stripe account at this address.

Legal Name

Your legal first name (payout_holder_name) and last name (payout_holder_lname) as they appear on government-issued identification. These must match the name on your Stripe account.

Optional Supporting Documents

Qualification Certificate

A digital copy of a relevant professional qualification or certification demonstrating subject-matter expertise in the proposed course topic.

Identity Scan

A scan or photograph of a government-issued identity document. Handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Additional Information

Any other information in support of your application — bio, teaching experience, or links to previous educational work.

iGurus operates a revenue-share model. When a student purchases your course, iGurus credits a portion of the sale price to your instructor account.

Revenue Share Rate

The current instructor revenue share rate is 65% of the net course sale price (excluding applicable taxes, payment processing fees, or platform discounts). This rate is configurable by iGurus at any time; any change will be communicated to instructors with reasonable notice before taking effect.

Credits are denominated in the platform's default currency. Credits accumulate in your instructor account dashboard until a payout is requested or processed.

Payout Method

All instructor payouts are made via your configured payout method to the payout email address provided in your instructor profile. You are solely responsible for:

• Maintaining a valid and active account with your selected payout provider at your registered payout email.
• Ensuring your payout account is configured to accept transfers in the applicable currency.
• Any fees, currency conversion charges, or transfer costs deducted by your payout provider before funds reach your bank.
• All applicable taxes, including income tax, self-employment tax, VAT, or GST arising from your earnings. iGurus does not withhold tax on instructor payments unless required by applicable law.

Payout Frequency & Threshold

Instructor earnings are credited to your iGurus wallet immediately upon each confirmed course sale. Payouts are on-demand — there is no fixed disbursement schedule. You may submit a withdrawal request at any time through your Instructor Dashboard, subject to the following limits:

• Minimum per request: USD $10.00
• Maximum per request: USD $10,000.00
• Only one pending withdrawal request is permitted at a time.

Requests are reviewed by iGurus and processed within a reasonable period following approval. iGurus reserves the right to adjust these thresholds on reasonable prior notice. On account closure, any remaining credit balance will be paid out within thirty (30) days, net of any amounts owed to iGurus, unless termination was for fraud or material breach.

Refunds & Chargebacks

Where a student is granted a refund in accordance with iGurus's Refund Policy, the corresponding instructor credit for that transaction will be reversed. In cases of payment fraud or chargeback, iGurus reserves the right to withhold or claw back the corresponding credit amount pending resolution.

You own your course content. By publishing it on iGurus, you grant us the licences we need to operate the platform.

Your Ownership

You retain full ownership of all intellectual property rights in the courses, videos, materials, and other content you create and upload to iGurus ("Instructor Content"), subject to any third-party rights embodied in that content. Nothing in this Agreement transfers ownership of Instructor Content to iGurus.

Licence Grant to iGurus

By publishing Instructor Content on iGurus, you grant iBrothers Group LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable licence to:

• Host, store, reproduce, and back up the Instructor Content on iGurus servers and CDN infrastructure.
• Stream, display, and deliver the Instructor Content to enrolled students via the iGurus platform (web, mobile, and any future delivery method).
• Create preview clips, thumbnails, and promotional excerpts for marketing the course.
• Translate captions or subtitles to facilitate access for students in other languages, with your prior written consent.
• Reformat or technically adapt the Instructor Content for delivery across different devices and resolutions.

This licence continues for as long as the relevant course remains published on the platform, and for such period after removal as is reasonably necessary to complete removal from all delivery systems, caches, and student accounts. Students who enrolled prior to course removal retain access to content they have already purchased.

No Exclusivity

The licence granted to iGurus is non-exclusive. You are free to publish the same content on other platforms or through your own channels, unless you have entered into a separate written exclusivity arrangement with iGurus.

How long a course stays live on iGurus, what happens as it approaches the end of that window, and how you keep it going.

Hosting Term

iGurus hosts a published course for up to 36 months from its publish date, or from its most recent substantial content refresh, whichever is later. After that, the course is archived: removed from the catalog and closed to further learning by new or existing students, though students who already earned a certificate or made a purchase keep access to those records as described in our Terms of Use.

New-Enrollment Window

A course accepts new student enrollments for up to 24 months from its publish date or last refresh. Once that window passes, the course is marked as no longer accepting new enrollments — it stays visible to students already enrolled, but drops out of the public catalog and search results.

Refreshing Resets the Clock

Both windows above restart from zero whenever you submit a substantial content update and it passes admin re-review — there's no limit on how many times a course can be refreshed. A course you keep current can, in principle, stay on iGurus indefinitely.

Content Export

When a course reaches its hosting term and is archived, you retain the right to export your Instructor Content (videos, materials, and associated metadata) for your own records. Contact instructors@igurus.org to request an export.

Klips

Individual Klips (short-form lesson videos) follow the same 36-month hosting clock as full courses. A Klip used as a free preview for one of your courses follows that course's lifecycle rather than running its own separate clock.

All Instructor Content must meet minimum quality and accuracy standards. iGurus is an educational platform and the quality of your content directly affects learner outcomes and platform reputation.

Accuracy

All factual claims, statistics, and instructions must be accurate to the best of your knowledge at time of publication. You must update or remove content that becomes materially inaccurate or outdated.

Originality

You must be the original creator, or hold all necessary rights and licences from the original copyright owner(s), to publish the content on iGurus without restriction.

Production Quality

Video content must be clearly audible and visually legible. iGurus may set minimum production quality guidelines and may decline to publish content that does not meet them.

Completeness

Courses must be complete and coherent as published. Releasing intentionally incomplete content as a complete product is prohibited.

Disclosure

If your course contains sponsored content, affiliate links, or any material commercial relationship relevant to the subject matter, you must disclose this prominently within the course and in the course description.

Currency

You are responsible for keeping time-sensitive content (software, regulations, market conditions) up to date. iGurus may flag or de-list significantly outdated content.

Klips (Course-Attached Videos)

Instructors may attach short-form video clips ("Klips") to individual course lessons via the instructor dashboard. The following additional terms apply to instructor-uploaded Klips:

• Ownership: You retain all intellectual property rights in Klips you create. By attaching a Klip to a course lesson, you grant iBrothers Group LLC the same non-exclusive worldwide licence described in §04 above, and additionally authorise iGurus to surface the Klip in the public Klips feed and in platform marketing.
• Format: Klips must not exceed 3 minutes in duration. iGurus may update this limit by providing 30 days' notice to instructors.
• Content standards: All Klips must comply with the content standards in this §05 and the prohibited content rules in §06. Klips are publicly viewable without login; you accept that your content will be seen by non-enrolled users.
• Removal: iGurus may remove any Klip that, in its reasonable opinion, violates this Agreement, applicable law, or the Community Guidelines — without prior notice. Removal of a Klip does not constitute removal of the course it is attached to.
• Reporting: Klips can be reported by any viewer. iGurus will notify you if a Klip is removed following a report. You may appeal a removal by emailing legal@igurus.org with subject line "Klip Removal Appeal" within 14 days of the removal notice.
• Deletion on account termination: If your instructor account is terminated, all course-attached Klips will be removed from the public feed. Students with active enrolments may retain access to the lesson video where the Klip appeared at iGurus's discretion.

The following categories of content are strictly prohibited on iGurus. Publication will result in immediate removal and may result in suspension or permanent termination of your instructor account.

iGurus reserves the right to review, remove, or restrict any Instructor Content and to suspend or terminate any instructor account at its reasonable discretion.

Content Review & Takedown

iGurus may review any Instructor Content at any time, including in response to a student report, a third-party complaint, or a proactive platform audit. iGurus may:

• Request that you edit or update the content within a specified timeframe.
• Temporarily de-list or unpublish the content pending your response.
• Permanently remove the content without prior notice where the violation is serious or where delay would cause harm.
• Withhold or reverse instructor credits earned from sales through violating content.

DMCA Takedown Compliance

iGurus complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Where iGurus receives a valid DMCA takedown notice relating to your Instructor Content, iGurus will promptly remove or disable access to the identified content and notify you. You may submit a counter-notification in accordance with the DMCA process. Repeated DMCA violations will result in instructor account termination under iGurus's repeat-infringer policy.

Account Suspension

iGurus may suspend your instructor account without prior notice where: you are suspected of a material breach pending investigation; iGurus receives a credible complaint about published content; your Stripe payout account is invalid, closed, or flagged for fraud; or iGurus is required to do so by applicable law or court order. Where practical, iGurus will notify you and provide an opportunity to respond.

Pricing & Promotions

Instructors set the list price for their own courses during the course creation process, subject to any minimum or maximum pricing limits that iGurus may establish from time to time. iGurus reserves the right to apply platform-wide promotional discounts, coupon codes, or sale pricing to any course without prior consent from the individual instructor. Your 65% revenue share is always calculated on the amount actually paid by the student after any promotional discount, net of applicable taxes and processing fees. iGurus will not reduce your share rate itself without providing written notice in accordance with §05 above.

You warrant that you are the original creator of all Instructor Content, or that you hold all necessary rights, licences, and permissions from the respective copyright holders to publish the Instructor Content on iGurus without restriction and without infringing any third-party intellectual property rights.

This indemnification obligation survives termination of this Agreement. iGurus will provide you with prompt written notice of any claim and will cooperate reasonably with your defence at your cost. iGurus reserves the right to assume exclusive control of the defence of any claim at your expense if it determines your defence is inadequate.

By submitting an application and publishing Instructor Content, you represent and warrant to iGurus that:

Authority

You have the full legal right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement and to grant the licences described in §04. If entering on behalf of a company or organisation, you have authority to bind that entity.

Ownership

You own or have obtained all necessary rights and licences in and to the Instructor Content, including rights to all third-party materials incorporated in the content.

No Infringement

The Instructor Content does not and will not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any copyright, trade mark, patent, trade secret, privacy right, moral right, or any other intellectual property right of any third party.

Accuracy of Application

All information provided in your instructor application — including payout details, legal name, and supporting documents — is true, accurate, and complete at time of submission.

Compliance with Law

The Instructor Content and your use of the iGurus platform comply with all applicable federal, state, local, and international laws and regulations.

No Harmful Code

Any software, scripts, or downloadable files included in Instructor Content do not contain viruses, malware, or any harmful code.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

Consequential Loss

iGurus shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill arising out of or relating to this Agreement, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Liability Cap

iGurus's aggregate liability to you under or in connection with this Agreement, from all causes of action and all theories of liability combined, shall not exceed the total amount of credits earned by you on the iGurus platform in the twelve (12) calendar months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or USD $100.00, whichever is greater.

Platform Availability

iGurus does not guarantee uninterrupted availability. Downtime, maintenance, or technical failures that temporarily prevent student access to your courses do not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

Student Conduct

iGurus is not liable for the conduct of students who access your courses, including students who breach the student terms and conditions.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages. In those jurisdictions, the foregoing limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

This Agreement continues until terminated by either party in accordance with this section.

By Instructor

You may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing written notice to legal@igurus.org and removing all of your courses from the platform. Termination does not affect students who have already enrolled; those students retain access to content they purchased.

By iGurus — With Notice

iGurus may terminate this Agreement for any reason by providing 30 (thirty) days' written notice to your registered account email address.

By iGurus — Without Notice

iGurus may terminate immediately and without notice where you have: materially breached this Agreement (including §06 Prohibited Content), committed fraud or provided materially false information, been subject to legal proceedings relevant to your Instructor Content, or failed to maintain a valid payout account.

Effect of Termination

Upon termination: (a) instructor access is revoked; (b) courses are removed from public sale subject to existing student access rights; (c) outstanding credit balance will be paid out within a reasonable period, net of amounts owed to iGurus, unless termination was due to fraud or material breach. Sections §04, §08, §09, §10, and §12 survive termination.

This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

Dispute Resolution

Before initiating any formal legal action, the parties agree to attempt good-faith resolution of any dispute by emailing legal@igurus.org with a written description of the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days of that notice, either party may pursue the remedies below.

Any claim, dispute, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement — including its formation, interpretation, breach, or termination — that is not resolved informally shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Johnson County, Indiana. Both parties irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts and waive any objection to venue or inconvenient-forum grounds.

Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with the iGurus Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and iGurus with respect to your role as an instructor, and supersedes all prior understandings, negotiations, and agreements on that subject.

Amendments

iGurus may amend this Agreement at any time by posting an updated version to this page and notifying instructors via their registered email address. Continued use of instructor features after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the amended Agreement.
