Teach Simple Contributor Terms & Conditions

Contributor Terms & Conditions
Effective September 1, 2026
These terms explain your rights and responsibilities when you share resources on Teach Simple. They cover the Monthly Contributor Royalty Pool, your payments, and how you can end this agreement.
1.
Background of Agreement
a.
By confirming your acceptance of this Agreement this becomes a binding legal agreement between any member intending to upload data or materials to Teach Simple (in this agreement referred to as “you”) and Teach Simple, LLC.
b.
You wish to appoint Teach Simple as its non-exclusive agent to license, sublicense and distribute Content (as defined below) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Upon accepting the terms of this Agreement, you may make Content available to Teach Simple by following the "upload" procedures identified by Teach Simple from time to time. Each upload of Content will be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
c.
This is a fairly lengthy document, and it contains many important provisions that affect your rights and obligations. This Agreement remains in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with its terms. If at any time the terms and conditions of this Agreement are no longer acceptable to you, you must follow the termination procedures set forth below under "Term and Termination
2.
Provision of Content
a.
This contract enables Teach Simple to realize the commercial potential of the rights granted in the Content (“Descriptive Information”). Teach Simple, in its sole discretion, may determine which of such Content is suitable for posting on the Teach Simple Site, and only such Content as it deems suitable will be considered "Accepted Content" for the purposes of applicable provisions of this Agreement. Although Teach Simple may permit Content to be submitted pursuant to certain applications from time to time, your ability to submit further Content under this Agreement shall be subject to policies and procedures outlined by Teach Simple from time to time.
b.
In addition to the terms of this Agreement, the parties acknowledge that the provision of all Content is subject to the policies and procedures outlined by Teach Simple from time to time, the terms of which are incorporated by reference into this Agreement. Any breach of the rules relating to Content will be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement.
3.
Grant of Authority
a.
You hereby appoint Teach Simple as your non-exclusive distributor to sell, license or sublicense Content to third parties worldwide and to collect and remit funds in connection with those endeavours on the terms set forth in this Agreement. For all Content, you grant Teach Simple: i. The worldwide right to market and sublicense the right to copy, use, reproduce, distribute, redistribute, sublicense, publish, republish, upload, post, transmit, broadcast, crop, modify, alter, create derivative works of, package, repackage, produce and sell prints or similar image products, or publicly perform or display Content to prospective licensees in any and all media now in existence or that may in the future be introduced: (i) through the Teach Simple Site; ii. The right to grant perpetual, worldwide, licenses or sublicenses to end-users. Teach Simple will determine the terms and conditions of all licenses of Content granted by them, but will not use or license Content for uses that are defamatory, pornographic or otherwise illegal.
b.
In addition to the foregoing grant Teach Simple may post, reproduce, modify, display, make derivative works or otherwise use any Accepted Content for their own business purposes relating to the promotion of the Teach Simple Site, the Content, and promote the licensing of Accepted Content (including, without limitation, the use of the Accepted Content and your registered and unregistered trademarks for marketing, sales and promotional efforts whether on the Teach Simple Site or through third parties). No compensation shall be due to you for use of Accepted Content for such business purposes.
c.
The Parties agree that all rights, including title and copyright, in and to the Accepted Content will be retained by you, and no title or copyright is transferred or granted in any way to Teach Simple or any third party except as provided in this Agreement.
4.
Intellectual Property Matters
a.
You acknowledge that Teach Simple prohibits any Content, Descriptive Information or any other material that infringes on any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, right to privacy, right to publicity, or any other applicable law or proprietary right to be uploaded under this Agreement.
b.
By uploading Content, you are warranting that you own all proprietary rights or are the authorized representative of the applicable copyright owner(s) of such Content, including copyright, in and to the Content with full power to grant the rights contemplated in this Agreement.
c.
Using the name identified by you in your contributor account profile, Teach Simple shall use commercially reasonable efforts to credit you as the source of Accepted Content, but shall have no liability for lack of credit. You acknowledge and accept and therefore waive any right to object to the fact that it is common practice for professional uses that the creator of Content is not credited, that Content may be modified, used in connection with sensitive topics and may be used or modified in ways that may be controversial or unflattering.
5.
Compensation
a.
Royalties and Rate Card. Subject to this Agreement, Teach Simple will calculate royalties (“Royalties”) for Accepted Content under the royalty rate card and eligibility rules then in effect (the “Rate Card”). Teach Simple may amend the Rate Card by giving you at least fifteen (15) days' notice by email before the change takes effect. If an amended Rate Card is not acceptable to you, you may terminate this Agreement under Section 11. Continued submission of Content or failure to terminate after the effective date of an amended Rate Card constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.
b.
Net Subscription Revenue. “Net Subscription Revenue” means subscription amounts actually and successfully collected by Teach Simple, less taxes collected, payment-processing fees, refunds, credits, reversals, disputes, chargebacks and other customer-payment adjustments. Failed, unpaid or uncollected amounts do not constitute Net Subscription Revenue. Revenue covering more than one service month may be allocated across the covered service period under Teach Simple’s consistently applied accounting method.
c.
Monthly Contributor Royalty Pool. For each earning month, Teach Simple establishes a private company-wide Monthly Contributor Royalty Pool under the then-current Rate Card. Earning months are calendar months in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). One hundred percent (100%) of Net Subscription Revenue allocated to successfully paying members who make at least one Royalty-Eligible Download during the applicable earning month is included in the pool. The pool is allocated among contributors according to royalty points generated by Royalty-Eligible Downloads during that earning month. The pool amount, total platform activity, platform revenue and activity of other contributors are Teach Simple Confidential Information and are not contributor reporting metrics.
d.
Royalty-Eligible Downloads. A “Royalty-Eligible Download” is a download of eligible Accepted Content by a member during a successfully paid subscription service period, subject to the Rate Card. Downloads during a free trial or from a free account are not eligible and do not become eligible if the member later pays. A converted member must download the Accepted Content during a paid service period. Repeated downloads of the same Accepted Content by the same member in one earning month count once. A contributor's downloads of their own Accepted Content are not Royalty-Eligible. Free Accepted Content remains owned by the contributor but is not Royalty-Eligible while offered free. Teach Simple may also exclude any future Teach Simple-owned content and fraudulent, automated, abusive, duplicate, invalid or otherwise ineligible activity.
e.
Royalty Points and Calculation. Eligible Accepted Content is assigned a versioned point value under the Rate Card. A contributor’s monthly Royalty equals the contributor’s royalty points for the earning month multiplied by that month’s royalty rate per point, subject to rounding and adjustments. Point values and eligibility may be changed prospectively under the Rate Card. Teach Simple will use reasonable efforts to report each contributor’s personal eligible activity, points, rate and earnings.
f.
Adjustments. Teach Simple may make auditable current- or later-period adjustments for refunds, credits, cancellations, disputes, chargebacks, fraud, duplicate or invalid activity, prior overpayments, errors, indemnity obligations or other deductions permitted by this Agreement. Teach Simple may set off such amounts against sums otherwise payable, subject to applicable law. Contributor reporting will identify a material personal adjustment with a reasonable description.
g.
Payment. Royalties are payable through a method supported by Teach Simple after a contributor’s unpaid balance reaches $50.00 USD and all required payment, identity and tax information is complete. Royalties released for payment are ordinarily processed after the applicable earning month has been finalized. Processing timing may be extended for reconciliation, fraud review, payment-provider delay, incomplete contributor information or other reasonable operational requirements.
6.
Passwords
a.
You acknowledge and agree that you will be responsible for each and every access or use of the Teach Simple contributor enrollment website or any other upload website, tool or application that occurs in conjunction with your account and such passwords, and that Teach Simple is authorized to accept your login and password as conclusive evidence that you wish to upload Content pursuant to this Agreement. Teach Simple shall have no liability or responsibility to monitor the provision of Content under your login and password.
7.
Managing Content
a.
Teach Simple has policies and processes which must be adhered to prior to Content being posted on the Site or otherwise being offered for sale or license. Notwithstanding that some qualitative standards are required to be met, Teach Simple does not and cannot review all Content or Descriptive Information uploaded to the Teach Simple Site and is not responsible for the content, quality, or consequences of your uploading such Content or Descriptive Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Teach Simple reserves the right to delete, move, refuse to accept or edit any communication or Content that it may determine, in its sole discretion, violates or may violate this Agreement, the intellectual or proprietary rights of others, any of its policies or is otherwise unacceptable in its discretion, and you hereby agree to forfeit any fees payable in respect of such Content to Teach Simple or as it may direct. Teach Simple shall have the right but not the obligation to correct any errors or omissions in any Content or Descriptive Information, as it may determine in its sole discretion. You acknowledge that any screening of Content or Descriptive Information performed by Teach Simple to determine Accepted Content is done as a courtesy only. NOTICE: You acknowledge that the Content you provide pursuant to this Agreement that becomes Accepted Content may be purchased or licensed by members of the Teach Simple Site with the intention that they will adhere to the terms of the applicable license agreement.
b.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, given the exigencies of the business and the prevalence of royalty-free content, Teach Simple cannot take responsibility for the compliance by purchasers and licensees of the terms of such agreements. Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree to the possibility of Content being used in a manner that is not contemplated in this Agreement, and you agree that notwithstanding any rights you may have to pursue the licensees of such Content at law, Teach Simple shall have no liability to you or any person claiming through you for any breach by a licensee of the terms of any agreement respecting Accepted Content
c.
You can request resources/products to be deleted from Teach Simple after 30 days of said resources being published in the Marketplace. Upon submitting a delete request to remove resources/products from Teach Simple, Teach Simple will remove the resource/product after 30 days of initiating the removal request.

Rate Card:
a.
Teach Simple uses a 1–10 product-weight scale as royalty points. Existing Accepted Content retains its assigned product weight unless Teach Simple changes that weight prospectively under the Rate Card. Single or narrowly scoped resources generally receive fewer points, while substantial units, bundles, curricula and complete programs generally receive more points. Teach Simple may review related listings together and adjust point values prospectively to protect the fairness and integrity of the system.
b.
For each earning month, the monthly royalty rate per point equals the Monthly Contributor Royalty Pool divided by total Royalty-Eligible Download points for that month. Your monthly Royalty equals your Royalty-Eligible Download points multiplied by that monthly rate per point, subject to final rounding and any adjustments permitted by this Agreement.
