Put clear online course terms behind your sales, access and content rules

The wording depends on how your course actually works in practice. Useful details include whether the course is a one-off purchase or recurring membership, whether content is released all at once or in stages, whether students get community access, and whether live calls, coaching or downloadable resources are included. We also look at where the terms appear in the sign-up flow, such as at checkout or inside the learning platform. Those points matter because access rights, refund wording and content-use restrictions should match the real learner journey.

No. This page is for the core online course terms and conditions document itself. It is narrower than a broader advisory service for a learning platform or subscription business. The work here is about getting the main contract wording in place for your course offer and learner use model. It does not automatically cover wider platform restructuring, tax advice, or ongoing representation after the document is completed. If related issues come up during the drafting process, we can flag them and discuss whether extra work is needed.

Timing depends on how detailed the course model is and how quickly the key information is confirmed. A straightforward course with one access model is usually quicker than a business with subscriptions, bundled resources and several learner tiers. Once we have the relevant details, we prepare the draft terms for your review. The fixed-fee includes one round of amendments so the wording can be refined after you have checked it against your platform and sales flow. If you later need broader advice, that can be scoped separately.

Online courses usually involve more than a simple website visit. You may be selling timed access, drip-fed lessons, bonus downloads, live sessions, community features or recurring payments. General website terms often do not explain what the learner is actually buying, how long access lasts, whether accounts can be shared, or what happens if someone breaches your platform rules. A dedicated course terms document helps align the contract with the real offer being sold at checkout, which is especially important where your course includes several content types or access levels.

The document usually covers the main customer-facing rules for buying and using the course. That often includes enrolment, payment timing, access start dates, whether access is ongoing or time-limited, cancellation and refund wording, restrictions on copying or sharing materials, acceptable behaviour, and when access may be suspended. If your offer includes memberships, subscriptions, downloadable resources, certificates or live teaching elements, those can also be reflected. The aim is to produce one core set of terms that matches the structure of your course rather than relying on broad, generic site wording.
