PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY

This document sets out the terms for use of the INKED UNION platform. It governs both our Course & Content Creators (“Creators”) and our end users (“Students”). When we refer to “You”, we mean both our Creators and Students or just our Creators or our Students (don’t worry, we’ll make it clear who we’re talking to, but when in doubt, we’re talking to you). INKED UNION is committed to transparency, which includes providing a Terms of Use that is understandable and written in plain language.

INKED UNION’s Platform can be found at https://inkedunion.com, and also includes all of the subdomains, mobile applications, any other media, location, application, etc. owned, managed, operated, etc. by INKED UNION. When referring to the infrastructure in this Agreement, we will be collectively referring to them as the “Platform”.

I. Introduction

INKED UNION. ("IU") provides an open online content creation platform designed to allow Creators to build, design, publish, and sell courses and services (“Content”) to their Students. INKED UNION offers this Content creation platform along with a number of additional services and tools (e.g. payment gateways, author and affiliate payouts) and the entire selection of tools and services offered via the Platform will be referred to in this Agreement as “INKED UNION Services”.

By using our Platform in any manner you are expressly agreeing to, and give your consent to be governed by, these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms or you do not wish to be bound by these Terms, you must not use or access INKED UNION’s Platform in any manner.

INKED UNION is neither a content provider nor an educational institution. Creators and Students are not employees of INKED UNION. INKED UNION is not responsible for interactions between Creators and Students, with the exception of providing the technological means through which Creators may broadcast and otherwise make their Content available and, at each Creator’s election, for processing payments through INKED UNION’s payment gateway(s). INKED UNION is not liable for any disputes, claims, losses, injuries, or damage of any kind that may arise out of the Creator/Student relationship, including but not limited to, any Student’s reliance upon any information provided by a Creator or Creator Content at any time.

As stated in our Privacy Policy, INKED UNION only provides Creators with limited information about the Students enrolled in their Content, including name, email address, IP address, and the Content in which the Student has enrolled. This information is only available to the Creator upon the purchase or enrollment of a Student in the Creator’s Content. INKED UNION does not provide, sell, rent, release, disclose, etc. Student data to Creators for monetary or other valuable consideration.

Students assume full responsibility for the disclosure and use of any other personal information the Student chooses to disclose to any Creator on the Platform.

II. Age of Access

A. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Platform, or, if you are between the ages of 13 and 18, you must have your parent or guardian’s permission to use the Platform. By using our Platform, you are telling us by your actions that you have obtained that permission (you are ‘representing’ and ‘warranting’ that you have obtained the appropriate permissions to use our Platform). If you are under the age of 13 you may not use our Platform in any manner nor may you register for an account.

III. License to Creators & Students

A. INKED UNION grants You a limited, non-exclusive license to access and use INKED UNION’s Platform for your own personal and commercial purposes. This license is only for Your use and may not be assigned or power points to anyone else, without INKED UNION’s express written consent. Except as expressly permitted by INKED UNION in writing, you will not try to reproduce INKED UNION’s Platform (legally that’s known as engaging in activity that would reproduce, redistribute, sell, create derivative works from, decompile, reverse engineer, or disassemble the Platform). You also agree that in exchange for this license You will not engage in any activity that would interfere with or damage or harm the Platform. All rights not expressly granted by INKED UNION are reserved.

IV. Code of Conduct

A. We have to set up some ground rules. Honestly, most of what we cover here should go without saying. However, it’s better to be upfront about things, rather than just assume everyone knows how they are expected to conduct themselves on our Platform.

No Illegal Activity: This is about as simple as it gets. Do not use the INKED UNION Platform for any illegal activity. Period. You are not allowed to use our Platform to engage in any kind of conduct that violates any applicable federal, state, local, or international law or regulation (including, without limitation, any laws regarding the export of data or software to and from the US or other countries)
No Fraud: Yes, this is probably covered in the No Illegal Activity section above, but we want to make this very clear. Fraud will not be tolerated in any capacity
No Bad Code: Do not use the Teachable Platform to transmit, distribute, send, etc. viruses, worms, or any other code that may be deemed dangerous, harmful, or destructive in any manner

You may not use the INKED UNION Platform to engage in any activities that will result in sending spam to anyone on the INKED UNION Platform, including INKED UNION (and its employees), Creators, and Students

No Exploitation: You will not use the INKED UNION Platform to try to gather personal information on anyone, outside of the limited permissible uses for offering your Content

No Data Mining or Bots: You may not use any data mining, robots, or similar data gathering or extraction methods; and
No Use Other Than Intended: You may not use the Platform or any content contained on the Platform for any purposes other than intended

V. Course and Services Content

INKED UNION reserves the right to remove You and Your Content should Your Content contain material (determined, in our sole discretion) that is libelous, slanderous, pornographic, obscene, unlawful, threatening, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable or violates any party’s intellectual property or any other part of this Agreement

Should the Services involve any third party content, You agree that INKED UNION is not responsible in any way for such content, and makes no representations or guarantees as to its merchantability or fitness of use.

B. INKED UNION Native Gateways

For the avoidance of doubt, the term INKED UNION Native Gateways is a reference to both INKED UNION Payments and the Monthly Payments Gateway
INKED UNION Payments: The INKED UNION Payments gateway allows Creators to process credit or debit card transactions and facilitates faster payout processes. INKED UNION Payments is available to some Creators, based on location. For a list of eligible locations, please see the INKED UNION website.

c) Funds paid out to Creators via MPG are paid on the first of the month (or first available business day) no earlier than thirty (30) days after the end of the month in which a sale was made.

The current hold period can be located on our Knowledge Base page regarding MPG. The length of time in which MPG funds are held before payout is subject to change at INKED UNION’s sole discretion. Should the hold period change, INKED UNION will make reasonable efforts to communicate these changes via the Knowledge Base page
