What are online course terms?

Online course terms are a contract between your business and your customers to manage the delivery of your online course. Our terms have been prepared to offer you basic legal protection when delivering an online course to customers in Australia. Please be aware that these terms should be used in delivering an online course direct to customers, not to other businesses – we have a separate template for working with businesses.

Do you need online course terms?

Yes, these terms help you get paid on time, set clear expectations and rules for your online course users, and protect your important intellectual property (no copy and pasting here)!

What terms are included in these terms?

Our online course terms cover important topics such as fees, payment, refunds, course inclusions, access to the course, participant conduct, groups, intellectual property, limitation of liability, termination, and more.

Did a lawyer write these terms?

Our contracts are written by an all-female Australian team of lawyers. They’ve been designed so that they provide a DIY solution to managing your business legals. We’re trying to help as many female business owners as possible, so while these have been written by a lawyer, they have not been customised to your unique business needs – that’s where you come in.

How do I customise this document?

You’ll be able to customise our online course terms template by making minor changes to text highlighted in yellow. We also provide comments throughout the document to guide you. When have finished editing the document, you simply delete the guidance comments and upload your terms to your website. Voila!

Are these terms legally binding?

Yes, if you follow our instructions set out in our guidance text to ensure that you’re making the terms easily available to customers before they checkout.

Can I have a lawyer customise these terms for me?

Our online course terms template has been designed for you to take it, DIY it and get started.

However, if this document is close to but not exactly what you’re looking for (maybe you need a few extra clauses) you can always reach out to us to have the template customised to suit your business.

If you purchase our template customisation service, you will have an opportunity to speak to a lawyer for up to 30 minutes to discuss what changes you’d like to make and one of our team of female lawyers will make those changes to the template for you.

Please be aware that you are not permitted to purchase our template and take it to another lawyer for customisation.
