Instructors Terms and Agreement

Instructor Terms

When you sign up to become an instructor on the White Tiger Qigong platform, you agree to abide by these Instructor Terms (“Terms“). These Terms cover details about the aspects of the White Tiger Qigong platform relevant to instructors and are incorporated by reference into our Terms of Use, the general terms that govern your use of our Services. Any capitalized terms that aren’t defined in these Terms are defined as specified in the Terms of Use.

As an instructor, you are contracting directly with d/b/a White Tiger Qigong, Qi Dao Ltd (a Limited Liability Company in Hong Kong), regardless of whether another White Tiger Qigong subsidiary facilitates payments to you.

3. Trust & Safety

3.1 Trust & Safety Policies

We reserve the right to remove courses, suspend payouts, and/or ban instructors for any reason at any time, without prior notice, including in cases where:

• an instructor or course does not comply with our policies or legal terms (including the Terms of Use);
• a course falls below our quality standards or has a negative impact on the student experience;
• an instructor engages in behavior that might reflect unfavorably on White Tiger Qigong or bring White Tiger Qigong into public disrepute, contempt, scandal, or ridicule;
• an instructor engages the services of a marketer or other business partner who violates White Tiger Qigong’s policies; or
• as determined by White Tiger Qigong in its sole discretion.

3.2 Co-Instructors and Teaching Assistants

If you have co-instructors and or teaching assistants, it will be your responsibility to pay them out from your share of the revenue. White Tiger Qigong is not responsible for tracking their revenue or payouts.

3.3 Relationship to Other Users

Instructors don’t have a direct contractual relationship with students, so the only information you’ll receive about students is what is provided to you through the Services. You agree that you will not use the data you receive for any purpose other than providing your services to those students on the White Tiger Qigong platform, and that you won’t solicit additional personal data or store students’ personal data outside the White Tiger Qigong platform. You will indemnify White Tiger Qigong against any claims arising from your use of students’ personal data.

3.4 Anti-Piracy Efforts

We partner with anti-piracy vendors to help protect your courses from unauthorized use. To enable this protection, you hereby appoint White Tiger Qigong and our anti-piracy vendors as your agents for the purpose of enforcing copyrights for each of your courses, through notice and takedown processes (under applicable copyright laws like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act) and for other efforts to enforce those rights. You grant White Tiger Qigong and our anti-piracy vendors primary authority to file notices on your behalf to enforce your copyright interests.

You agree that White Tiger Qigong and our anti-piracy vendors will retain the above rights unless you revoke them by sending an email to piracy@WhiteTigerQigong.com with the subject line: “Revoke Anti-Piracy Protection Rights” from the email address associated with your account. Any revocation of rights will be effective 48 hours after we receive it.

4. Pricing

4.1 Price Setting

White Tiger Qigong will decide on what purchase price the courses should be sold at based on their research. You can offer your input, but it remains the sole discretion of White Tiger Qigong to decide the price.

When a student purchases using a foreign currency, we will convert the relevant Base Price or Promotional Program price into the student’s applicable currency using a system-wide foreign currency conversion rate set by White Tiger Qigong and fixed periodically into a table of corresponding price tiers by currency (“Price Tier Matrix“). Since the Price Tier Matrix is fixed, those conversion rates may not be identical to the applicable market rate in effect when a transaction is processed. We reserve the right to update the Price Tier Matrix at any time.

You give us permission to share your courses for free with our employees, with selected partners, and in cases where we need to restore access accounts who have previously purchased your courses. You understand that you will not receive compensation in these cases.

4.2 Transaction Taxes

If a student purchases a product or service in a country that requires White Tiger Qigong to remit national, state, or local sales or use taxes, value added taxes (VAT), or other similar transaction taxes (“Transaction Taxes“), under applicable law, we will collect and remit those Transaction Taxes to the competent tax authorities for those sales. We may increase the sale price at our discretion where we determine that such taxes may be due. For purchases through mobile applications, applicable Transaction Taxes are collected by the mobile platform (such as Apple’s App Store or Google Play).

4.3 Promotional Programs

White Tiger Qigong offers several optional marketing programs (Promotional Programs). These programs can help increase your revenue potential on White Tiger Qigong by finding the optimal price point for your courses and promoting them through additional marketing channels.

5. Payments

5.1 Revenue Share

When a student purchases your course, we calculate the gross amount of the sale as the amount actually received by White Tiger Qigong from the student (“Gross Amount“). From this, we subtract any Transaction Taxes, any mobile platform fees applied to mobile provider checkout sales, a 3% administrative and handling fee for any non-mobile provider checkout sales, and any amounts paid to third parties in connection with the Promotional Programs to calculate the net amount of the sale (“Net Amount“).

Your revenue share will be 15% of the Net Amount less any applicable deductions, such as student refunds. If we change this payment rate, we will provide you 30 days notice using prominent means, such as via email or by posting a notice through our Services. Any sales from your website through our affiliate program will be 50% of the total profit.

White Tiger Qigong makes all instructor payments in U.S. dollars (USD) regardless of the currency with which the sale was made. We will assume transaction processing fees, excluding foreign currency conversion fees and wiring fees. Your revenue report will show the sales price (in local currency) and your converted revenue amount (in USD).

5.2 Receiving Payments

For us to pay you in a timely manner, you must own a PayPal or Payoneer account in good standing and must keep us informed of the correct email associated with your account. You must also provide any identifying information or tax documentation (such as a W-9 or W-8) necessary for payment of amounts due, and you agree that we have the right to withhold appropriate taxes from your payments if we are required. You understand and agree that you are ultimately responsible for any taxes on your income.

Depending on the applicable revenue share model, payment will be made within 45 days of the end of the month in which (a) we receive the fee for a course or (b) the relevant course consumption occurred.

As an instructor, you are responsible for determining whether you are eligible to be paid by a Hong Kong or UK company. We reserve the right not to pay out funds in the event of identified fraud, violations of intellectual property rights, or other violations of the law.

If we cannot settle funds into your payment account after the period of time set forth by your state, country, or other government authority in its unclaimed property laws, we may process the funds due to you in accordance with our legal obligations, including by submitting those funds to the appropriate government authority as required by law.

5.3 Refunds

You acknowledge and agree that students have the right to receive a refund, as detailed in the Terms of Use. Instructors will not receive any revenue from transactions for which a refund has been granted under the Terms of Use.

If a student asks for a refund after we have paid the relevant instructor payment, we reserve the right to either (1) deduct the amount of the refund from the next payment sent to the instructor or (2) where no further payments are due to the instructor or the payments are insufficient to cover the refunded amounts, require the instructor to refund any amounts refunded to students for the instructor’s courses.

6. Trademarks

While you are a published instructor and subject to the requirements below, you may use our trademarks where we authorize you to do so.

You must:

• only use the images of our trademarks that we make available to you, as detailed in any guidelines we may publish.
• only use our trademarks in connection with the promotion and sale of your White Tiger Qigong courses or your participation on White Tiger Qigong; and
• immediately comply if we request that you discontinue use.

You must not:

• use our trademarks in a misleading or disparaging way; or
• use our trademarks in a way that violates applicable law or in connection with an obscene, indecent, or unlawful topic or material.

7. Sanctions and Export Laws

You warrant that you aren’t restricted from using the Services under Seychelles sanctions or export laws (as an individual or as an officer, director, or controlling shareholder of any entity on whose behalf you use the Services). If you become subject to such a restriction while you are subject to these Instructor Terms, you will notify White Tiger Qigong within 24 hours, and we will have the right to terminate any further obligations to you, effective immediately and with no further liability to you (but without prejudice to your outstanding obligations to White Tiger Qigong). You will not use the Services to conduct or facilitate any transaction with any other individual or entity subject to such a restriction. You may not remove, export, or allow the export or re-export of the Services (or any product thereof, including technical data) outside Seychelles, Hong Kong or the United Kingdom in violation of any restrictions, laws, or regulations of Seychelles or any other applicable country.

8. Deleting Your Account

Email us to delete your account. We’ll use commercially reasonable efforts to make any remaining scheduled payments that are owed to you before deleting your account. You understand that if students have previously enrolled in your courses, your name and that Submitted Content will remain accessible to those students after your account is deleted. If you need help or encounter difficulty deleting your account, you can contact us via our Support Center.

9. Miscellaneous Legal Terms

From time to time, we may update these Terms to clarify our practices or to reflect new or different practices (such as when we add new features), and White Tiger Qigong reserves the right in its sole discretion to modify and/or make changes to these Terms at any time. If we make any material change, we will notify you using prominent means such as by email notice sent to the email address specified in your account or by posting a notice through our Services.
