The Outschool New Teacher Referral Program seeks to partner with Teachers approved on the Outschool Platform to promote Outschool to potential new Teachers (the “Program”) in order to earn Incentives and Rewards (defined below). These Outschool New Teacher Referral Program Terms (“Terms”) are made by and between Outschool, Inc. ("Outschool," “we”, “us”, or “our”) and you (“Participant”,“you” or “your'', and each Outschool and Participant is a "Party" and together, the "Parties") regarding your participation in the Program. Outschool’s Terms of Services, Teacher Addendum, Privacy Notice, and Community Standards are hereby incorporated into these Terms (collectively, the "Agreement"). Any capitalized terms not defined in these Terms, will have the meaning as defined in the Agreement. By participating in the Program, the Participant agrees to accept this Agreement. If you do not agree to this Agreement, you are not eligible to participate in the Program. Participation in this Program cannot be combined with any other Outschool-sponsored teacher referral program.
Outschool may update this Agreement at any time. Continued participation in the Program after any modification shall constitute consent to such modification.
Eligibility
To be eligible to participate in the Program, you must:
Be at least 18 years old (or be the age of the majority if Participant resides outside of the United States);
Have an Outschool teaching account in good standing, with no prior Outschool Trust & Safety incidents; and
Must not be participating in any other Outschool-sponsored teacher referral program.
Teachers do not qualify for the Incentive Reward (as defined below) if referring another account under their ownership (e.g. Educator Orgs cannot refer their own teachers).
Term and Termination
Participation in this Program will commence upon the enrollment by Outschool and continue until otherwise terminated by Outschool, at its sole discretion (the “Term”). You may terminate this Agreement at any time during the Term upon five (5) days prior written notice to Outschool. Additionally, Outschool may terminate this Agreement immediately for cause with or without written notice to you. Upon termination, you will be removed from the Program.
Commitments
During the Term, Participant will commit to all of the following (collectively, “Commitments”):
Represent Outschool publicly in a positive manner and tone at all times;
Will not post any controversial or socially unacceptable public postings, e.g., racist, pornographic, illegal drug use, bullying, etc.;
Will not post your referral link within class description pages;
Will not post your referral link on any couponing website or similar mass distribution websites; and,
Comply with the terms of this Agreement.
We reserve the right to monitor your compliance with these Commitments, and any violation may result in you being removed from the Program, at Outschool’s sole discretion. Removal from the Program will cancel all Participation Reward(s) (as defined below) received through the Program. Further, at Outschool's sole discretion, we may remove a Participant from the Program for other causes, including but not limited to fraud, failure to execute expected challenges, or if we are dissatisfied with a Participant’s performance under the Program.
Participant Incentives and Rewards
Participant may earn a one-time, two hundred dollars cash ($200 USD) reward for each New Teacher Referral (each an “Incentive Reward”), which will be made to your PayPal account. “New Teacher Referral” is defined as an individual who: (i) is a legal resident of their applicable country; (ii) is at least the age of majority in said territory of residence; (iii) clicks on your referral link to sign-up as a new Teacher on Outschool; (iv) earns at least one-hundred dollars ($100) in Teacher Payment; and (v) has not previously registered as a Teacher on Outschool.
Outschool will cover the standard 2.9% for sending payments via PayPal, but will not cover the 1% instant transfer fee that results from linking a debit card. See this article from PayPal’s support center for more information.
Only one Participant can earn a single New Teacher Referral and will be based on the Teacher’s referral link used by the new Teacher to create their Outschool profile. If a referral link is not used at time of account creation, Outschool can not retroactively provide an Incentive Reward to any Teacher. We are unable to change this for any reason. In the event that multiple Participants claim credit for a particular referral, Outschool has full discretion to determine which person earned such referral according to Outschool’s systems. New Teachers are welcome to work with any existing Teachers from our community to get started, but this will not have bearing on the recruiting Teacher’s referral incentive status.
