NavEd Network Seller Terms

Version seller-terms-2026-09-08-draft-2, dated September 8, 2026.

This is a draft. A lawyer has not reviewed it.

It is published in this state so that what you agreed to at signup points at real text instead of at nothing. The sections marked Still open below have no answer in it yet.

This is a working draft. No lawyer has reviewed it yet, and the sections marked Still open below have no answer in it.

It is published in this state so that anyone who agreed to the ownership statement at signup can read the exact wording they agreed to, on the date they agreed to it.

When a reviewed version replaces this one, this version stays here at this address. What you agreed to does not change because we later wrote something better.

What you agree to about ownership

At signup you are asked to agree to one statement, in these words:

I own what I'm listing, or I have the right to sell it. If I teach at a school, nothing I list here uses that school's name, its students, or curriculum that belongs to it, and listing here does not conflict with any agreement I have with an employer.

The reason it is there: a teacher who works at a school may have an agreement with that school about the curriculum she writes. NavEd cannot see those agreements. Asking you is the only way we know of to raise the question before you list something rather than after.

What this statement does and does not do, plainly. It records that you told us the material is yours to sell, and it records the date, the wording and the version. It does not settle any question between you and a school you work for, and NavEd does not represent you if one comes up. If you are not sure whether something you wrote is yours to sell, the people to ask are your school or your own lawyer, not us.

Who you are to NavEd

You are running your own teaching, not working for NavEd. You decide what you teach, how you teach it, what you charge and who you take on. NavEd is not your employer and is not your agent.

For the first version of the Network, sellers are teachers who do not already run or work at a school on NavEd. That is about where we are starting, not about who is good enough to teach. Support for teachers who also work at a NavEd school is the next thing after this.

What NavEd charges

NavEd takes 3 percent of each sale. Listing a course is free, including a course that never sells.

Card processing is charged separately by Stripe and is not NavEd's fee. Your earnings page shows the gross sale, the card processing, NavEd's 3 percent and what reaches you.

The rate that applies to an order is the rate recorded on that order at the moment it was paid. If the rate changes later, orders already paid are not recalculated.

Ratings are about the course, never about you

A family can rate a course. NavEd does not add those ratings up into a score for you, does not show a rating next to your name, and does not use ratings to decide what order courses appear in. There is no ranking of teachers on NavEd and there is not going to be one.

Closing your account

You can stop new sales at any time. You cannot close the account while a learner is still enrolled in one of your courses, because closing it would take away something a family already paid for. Once the last enrolled learner has finished or been refunded, closing is open to you.

Your own material and your own records are yours. Getting them out is free, always.

Working with children

A learner in your course may be a child. While a course is running: keep contact on NavEd, do not ask a child for personal information you do not need in order to teach them, and do not move a child to a private channel off the platform.

What you can see about a learner is what you need in order to teach them, and it is not yours to use for anything else, including marketing.

Still open, and being written Still open

These are the parts of a seller agreement that are not written yet. They are listed rather than filled in with wording nobody checked. If one of them matters to you before you list, ask us and we will tell you where it stands.

The licence you give NavEd to host and sell your material, and the licence the buyer gets from you: scope, how long it lasts, and what happens to it if you stop selling the course.

Payouts: which rail, the timing, and how long funds are held before release.

Refunds and chargebacks: who bears them, and in what order.

Tax: your own filing, W-9 or W-8 collection, and whether NavEd issues a 1099.

Copyright complaints: how someone reports material they say is theirs, how you answer, and what happens in between.

Suspension and appeal: what gets an account suspended, and how you contest it.

Indemnity, governing law, disputes, and how changes to these terms are notified.

Every version

Older versions stay at their own address. If you agreed to one of them, that is the one that describes what you agreed to.
