By submitting a course for publication on Tikidas (“the Platform”), you (“Instructor”) agree to the following terms and conditions. If you do not agree, do not submit your course.

---

1. Purpose and Scope

Tikidas is a continuing education (CE) and professional learning platform for nurses and healthcare professionals. This Instructor Agreement governs all courses, CE or non-CE, submitted for review, approval, and publication on the Platform.

---

2. Instructor Representations

By submitting a course, you represent and warrant that:

• You are legally eligible to provide educational content in your subject area.

• You have read and understand the Rights & Licensing, Revenue Share, and CE Compliance sections of this agreement.

• You have the authority to grant Tikidas the rights described in this Agreement.

• Your course content is accurate, compliant with applicable regulations (including CE requirements when applicable), and does not infringe on any copyright, trademark, or other third-party rights.

---

3. Content Rights and Licensing

• You retain ownership of all content you create and submit.

• By submitting a course, you grant Tikidas a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, display, distribute, promote, and market your course on the Platform and through affiliate channels.

• Tikidas may edit or adjust metadata (titles, descriptions, thumbnails) for formatting or marketing consistency but will not alter the educational content without your consent.

• If you remove your course, Tikidas will disable new enrollments within 30 days, but existing students may retain access as required by CE record keeping policies.

---

4. Course Standards and Quality Requirements

• Lesson Length: Keep lesson videos under 10 minutes when possible.

• 1-CE Courses: Total duration should be approximately 50 minutes (for example, five 10-minute lessons).

• Extended CE Courses: You may offer more than 1 CE hour; specify total CE time on the Course Planning Form.

• Non-CE Courses: May range from 5 minutes to any length suitable for your topic.

• Content Review: Tikidas reviews all courses for quality, compliance, and technical standards before publication. Courses that fail review may be returned for revision.

---

5. CE Compliance and Accreditation

• Courses offering CE credit must meet the California Board of Nursing continuing education requirements and Tikidas’ CE Provider standards.

• Instructors must complete required forms (Course Planning Form, Conflict of Interest Disclosure, and Commercial Disclosure).

• Tikidas reserves the right to deny or revoke CE approval for any course that fails to meet accreditation standards.

---

6. Revenue Share and Payment

• Instructors will receive a percentage-based commission on net revenue, as defined in the Instructor Compensation Policy.

• Net revenue means gross revenue received by Tikidas from course enrollments minus payment processing fees, taxes, refunds, and affiliate commissions.

• Payments are issued on a monthly basis, subject to minimum payout thresholds and completion of any required tax documentation.

• Refunds or chargebacks will be deducted from future payouts.

• Tikidas reserves the right to update revenue share models or payment schedules with 30 days’ notice.

Payout Metrics:

• The primary payout metric is course enrollment. A course enrollment is counted when a verified paid unique student either:

  • Watches more than 10 minutes of the course, or

  • Completes the first module.

Anti-Fraud Protections:

• Only verified paid accounts count toward completions.

• Tikidas reserves the right to withhold or reverse payments if suspicious activity is detected, including but not limited to unusually fast completions, multiple completions from the same IP address, or coordinated enrollments.

• Monthly spot checks may be conducted, and instructors may be asked to provide additional information if flagged activity occurs.

Holding Period:

• Completions from new accounts (less than 3–7 days old) may be held for review and may not be included in that month’s payout.

• Small payouts below $25 will be accumulated until they meet the minimum payout threshold.

Dispute Process:

• Instructors may request a review of flagged deductions within 14 days.

• Final decisions rest with Tikidas administration following investigation.

---

7. Promotions and Marketing

• Courses may be included in promotional campaigns, discounts, or featured listings at Tikidas’ discretion.

• Discounted pricing or promotional enrollment may affect revenue share according to the Instructor Compensation Policy.

• Instructors may not use Tikidas branding to promote courses outside of the Platform without prior written consent.

---

8. Co-Instructors and Collaboration

• If multiple instructors collaborate on a course, they must agree in writing to their revenue splits prior to submission.

• Tikidas is not responsible for disputes between co-instructors and will process payouts according to the designated account holder’s information.

---

9. Refunds and Chargebacks

• Tikidas may issue refunds to learners under its refund policy or as required by law or CE compliance.

• If a refund or chargeback occurs after a payout, the refunded amount will be deducted from future instructor earnings.

---

10. Termination and Removal

• Tikidas may remove or suspend a course that violates this Agreement, fails quality or compliance standards, or receives repeated learner complaints.

• Instructors may remove their courses at any time by providing written notice.

• Upon termination, Tikidas may retain limited rights to maintain access for previously enrolled learners for CE record retention requirements.

---

11. Taxes and Documentation

• Instructors are responsible for all applicable income and self-employment taxes.

• Tikidas may require completion of tax forms (e.g., W-9, W-8BEN) before issuing payments.

• Tikidas may withhold payments if tax documentation is incomplete or invalid.

---

12. Confidentiality and Data

• Tikidas may share course performance data, enrollments, and revenue reports through the instructor dashboard.

• Instructors agree to maintain the confidentiality of student information and comply with all applicable privacy laws.

---

13. Indemnification and Liability

• Instructor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Tikidas, its owners, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, or losses arising from the Instructor’s content, conduct, or breach of this Agreement.

• Tikidas’ total liability to the Instructor shall not exceed the total amount paid to the Instructor in the preceding six months.

---

14. Modifications

Tikidas may modify this Agreement or related policies with 30 days’ notice. Continued submission or publication of courses after such notice constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

---

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California. Any dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved in the courts of Los Angeles County, California.
