When referring to the infrastructure in this Agreement, we will be collectively referring to them as the “Platform”.

Introduction

Projects Mind, (“Project Minds”) provides an open online content creation platform designed to allow Creators to build, design, publish, and sell courses and services (“Content”) to their Students. Project Minds offers this Content creation platform along with a number of additional services and tools (e.g. payment gateways, author and affiliate payouts) and the entire selection of tools and services offered via the Platform will be referred to in this Agreement as “Project Minds Services”.

By using our Platform in any manner you are expressly agreeing to, and give your consent to be governed by, these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms or you do not wish to be bound by these Terms, you must not use or access Project Minds’s Platform in any manner.

Project Minds is neither a content provider nor an educational institution. Creators and Students are not employees of Project Minds. Project Minds is not responsible for interactions between Creators and Students, with the exception of providing the technological means through which Creators may broadcast and otherwise make their Content available and, at each Creator’s election, for processing payments through Project Minds’s payment gateway(s). Project Minds is not liable for any disputes, claims, losses, injuries, or damage of any kind that may arise out of the Creator/Student relationship, including but not limited to, any Student’s reliance upon any information provided by a Creator or Creator Content at any time.

As stated in our Privacy Policy, Project Minds only provides Creators with limited information about the Students enrolled in their Content, including name, email address, IP address, and the Content in which the Student has enrolled. This information is only available to the Creator upon the purchase or enrolment of a Student in the Creator’s Content. Project Minds does not provide, sell, rent, release, disclose, etc. Student data to Creators for monetary or other valuable consideration.

Students assume full responsibility for the disclosure and use of any other personal information the Student chooses to disclose to any Creator on the Platform.

License to Creators & Students
Project Minds grants You a limited, non-exclusive license to access and use Project Minds’s Platform for your own personal and commercial purposes. This license is only for Your use and may not be assigned or sublicensed to anyone else, without Project Minds’s express written consent. Except as expressly permitted by Project Minds in writing, you will not try to reproduce Project Minds’s Platform (legally that’s known as engaging in activity that would reproduce, redistribute, sell, create derivative works from, decompile, reverse engineer, or disassemble the Platform). You also agree that in exchange for this license You will not engage in any activity that would interfere with or damage or harm the Platform. All rights not expressly granted by Project Minds are reserved.
Code of Conduct
We have to set up some ground rules. Honestly, most of what we cover here should go without saying. However, it’s better to be upfront about things, rather than just assume everyone knows how they are expected to conduct themselves on our Platform.

No Illegal Activity: This is about as simple as it gets. Do not use the Project Minds Platform for any illegal activity. Period. You are not allowed to use our Platform to engage in any kind of conduct that violates any applicable federal, state, local, or international law or regulation (including, without limitation, any laws regarding the export of data or software to and from the US or other countries)
No Fraud: Yes, this is probably covered in the No Illegal Activity section above, but we want to make this very clear. Fraud will not be tolerated in any capacity
No Bad Code: Do not use the Project Minds Platform to transmit, distribute, send, etc. viruses, worms, or any other code that may be deemed dangerous, harmful, or destructive in any manner
No Spamming: Seriously. No one likes spam. We don’t like spam. We’re pretty sure that you don’t like your inbox cluttered with spam. You may not use the Project Minds Platform to engage in any activities that will result in sending spam to anyone on the Project Minds Platform, including Project Minds (and its employees), Creators, and Students
Be Civil: We mean this. We’re an open platform allowing myriad subject matters to be taught. Not all Content is for everyone. But the one thing we can all agree on is that when we use the Project Minds Platform we are going to be civil and respectful at all times
No Exploitation: You will not use the Project Minds Platform to try to gather personal information on anyone, outside of the limited permissible uses for offering your Content
No Impersonation of Project Minds or its Employees: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but not when it comes to representing that You are a part of Project Minds. You will not impersonate Project Minds or any of its employees
No Data Mining or Bots: You may not use any data mining, robots, or similar data gathering or extraction methods; and
No Use Other Than Intended: You may not use the Platform or any content contained on the Platform for any purposes other than intended
.

If You violate this Code of Conduct we reserve the right to remove You and any of Your Content from the Project Minds Platform. Whether conduct violates our Code of Conduct will be determined in Project Minds’s sole discretion.
Course and Coaching Content
While we’re on the subject of ground rules, we should also discuss what content is prohibited on the Project Minds Platform. For a number of reasons, there are certain subject matter types that we simply will not allow to be published in Your Content on Project Minds.

Project Minds reserves the right to remove You and Your Content should Your Content contain material (determined, in our sole discretion) that is libelous, slanderous, pornographic, obscene, unlawful, threatening, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable or violates any party’s intellectual property or any other part of this Agreement

Coaching
Project Minds may provide the opportunity for Creators to sell offerings (“Coaching”) to Students in addition to the courses that the Creator sells on the Platform (together Coaching and courses are referred to as Content). All Coaching shall be covered by this Agreement and are included in the definition of Content. Should the Coaching involve any third party content, You agree that Project Minds is not responsible in any way for such content, and makes no representations or guarantees as to its merchantability or fitness of use. The delivery of the Coaching is the sole responsibility of the Creator.

VII. Intellectual Property and Data Processing

In operating our Platform, it’s important for us to make it clear who owns what and who’s responsible for what. You are trusting us with your content and consistent with Project Minds’s genuine belief in transparency we want to make it simple for You to know exactly what You are getting into when You join the Project Minds community.

Project Minds Content:Content on the Platform, including all information, software, technology, data, logos, marks, designs, text, graphics, pictures, audio and video files, other data or copyrightable materials or content, and their selection and arrangement, is referred to herein as “Project Minds Content”, and is and remains the sole property of Project Minds. Project Minds Content, including our trademarks, may not be modified by You in any way

You are responsible for and own, or have the rights to use, all of Your Content
.

Content Free of Infringement of Any Third Party Rights

You agree that Your Content does not infringe upon anyone else’s intellectual property rights and that you have secured or obtained or received all necessary rights and permissions, as necessary, from any third parties who may own the content.

a) In plain language, this means that if you’re using someone else’s work (including videos, text, charts, powerpoints, etc.) in your Content, you’ve gotten the content owner’s permission to use it. You wouldn’t want anyone selling any of Your Content without Your permission. If You are going to use something that You didn’t create, make sure You can demonstrate that You have the right to use it before You make it a part of Your Content

DMCA
Project Minds takes a firm stance against anyone who is infringing upon anyone else’s intellectual property. This Platform is all about You transforming Your knowledge into Content. We draw a hard line when the Project Minds Platform is used to exploit someone else’s intellectual property.
Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), Project Minds has set out the following policy:

If Project Minds has a good faith belief that any content (including Creator Content) appearing on its Platform violates any copyrights or has been illegally copyrighted, Project Minds reserves the right to remove, block, or otherwise ‘take down’ the content. Project Minds also reserves the right to remove from the Platform any Creators, Students, or other parties, who are repeat offenders of the Project Minds DMCA policy

a) If you believe that content appearing on the Project Minds Platform violates your intellectual property, you should send a notice to Project Minds (either physical mail or email is ok) at the following address:

(2) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed

(3) Identification of the material/works/content that is claimed to be infringing that you want to see removed. This identification should include a location (URL) and other details sufficient to allow Project Minds to find and review this material on the Project Minds Platform

Should Project Minds receive two or more DMCA complaints regarding any Creator, Project Minds may simply remove that Creator from the Project Minds Platform without further warning. Note: as we state in our Project Minds Rights section, we still reserve the right to remove any school at any time for any reason.

XIII. Payments

Gateway Options:Project Minds operates two different types of payment options for Creators who use our Platform: Project Minds Gateways and Custom Gateways. Your use of either type of gateway is covered by the terms of this section.
Project Minds Native Gateways

For the avoidance of doubt, the term Project Minds Native Gateways is a reference to both Project Minds Payments and the Monthly Payments Gateway
Project Minds Payments: The Project Minds Payments gateway allows Creators to process credit or debit card transactions and facilitates faster payout processes. Project Minds Payments is available to some Creators, based on location. For a list of eligible locations, please see the Project Minds website.

a) Creators have the option to set up Project Minds Payments from their school’s Admin page. By setting up Project Minds Payments, You agree to the terms that appear in this Agreement and/or on the Project Minds Platform regarding the Project Minds Payments Gateway
b) Third Party Agreement: In setting up Project Minds Payments, You may be instructed to agree to terms of service offered by Stripe. Stripe is an independent party from Project Minds and Project Minds is not responsible for the contents of their terms of service. Should Stripe’s terms of service differ from Project Minds’s terms, such differences shall not modify this Agreement in any manner
c) By using Project Minds Payments You agree that Project Minds may place a portion of Your school sales in reserve for a period of time to cover losses, chargebacks, refunds, etc. The current reserve period and amount are located on our Knowledge Basepage regarding Project Minds Payments. The amount of reserves and the length of time in which they are held are subject to change at Project Minds’s sole discretion. Should the reserve period or the amount withheld change, Project Minds will make reasonable efforts to update the Knowledge Base page to communicate these changes
d) Fees for Project Minds Payments may be found on the Project Minds Knowledge Base All Project Minds Payment gateway fees will be deducted before the funds are sent to the Creator. The fees associated with Project Minds Payments are subject to change, in Project Minds’s sole discretion. By using Project Minds Payments, You agree to the fees as set by Project Minds

3.Monthly Payment Gateway

a) Project Minds Creators may also have an opportunity to utilize the Monthly Payments Gateway (MPG) to facilitate credit card or debit card transactions or to utilize PayPal as a payment option. MPG is offered wherever PayPal accounts are available and the availability of MPG is subject to any limitations by PayPal. Project Minds Payments users will only be able to utilize MPG for PayPal transactions and will not be able to utilize MPG for credit card processing
b) Third Party Agreement: In setting up MPG, You may need to agree to terms of service offered by Stripe or PayPal. Stripe and PayPal are independent parties from Project Minds and Project Minds is not responsible for the contents of their terms of service. Should their terms of service differ from Project Minds’s terms, such differences shall not modify this Agreement in any manner
c) Funds paid out to Creators via MPG are paid on the first of the month (or first available business day) no earlier than thirty (30) days after the end of the month in which a sale was made. This hold period is to account for any potential losses, chargebacks, refunds, etc. For the avoidance of doubt, this hold may result in funds being paid out more than thirty (30) days after the sale to a Student. The current hold period can be located on our Knowledge Basepage regarding MPG. The length of time in which MPG funds are held before payout is subject to change at Project Minds’s sole discretion. Should the hold period change, Project Minds will make reasonable efforts to communicate these changes via the Knowledge Base page
Custom Payments Gateway
a) Creators on the Professional, Business, and Enterprise plans may choose to set up a Custom Payment Gateway (CPG) to process Student transactions. These transactions, which are made through a third-party payment gateway, are outside of the scope of your relationship with Project Minds. You agree that Your CPG service is not a part of the Project Minds Services
b) Payouts are distributed according to the third-party payment service’s policies and procedures, and are not subject to Project Minds’s 30-day refund policy or payment hold
c) Transactions made through CPG are not subject to Project Minds’s transaction fees
d) You acknowledge that Project Minds does not control any payment processing fees that may be assessed through CPG. Additionally, while Project Minds may record the amounts that you owe to authors and affiliates in the transaction report, Project Minds does not have the access or ability to make deductions from transaction fees processed through third-party payment gateways to pay your authors or affiliates. Creators are responsible for making payments to authors and affiliates on their own
e) By using CPG, Project Minds does not have any responsibility to pay, remit, or otherwise send to any relevant tax authorities, taxes owed, including sales taxes, on Content you sell through CPG processing
Chargebacks
a) Creators may be charged a fee for any chargeback on credit card, debit card, or PayPal transaction that is processed through the Project Minds Native Gateways.

Creators will indemnify, defend, and hold Project Minds harmless from and against any tax, penalty and interest arising from the Creator’s personal tax position

b) Otherwise Responsible

1) Unless explicitly mentioned in this Agreement, Creators and Students are otherwise responsible for the payment of any and all applicable taxes that become due from their use of the Platform
