If You are a User, You agree to pay the fees for Courses that You take, and hereby authorize Us to charge Your credit card for these amounts. For one off courses we will charge the amount immediately upon purchase. For subscription courses, we will charge Your credit card monthly for all amounts owed. If Your credit card is declined, You agree to pay Us the fees within thirty (30) days of notification from Us, and pay (at Our discretion) a late payment charge at 1.5% per month, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is greater.

9.2- Refunds

For online courses, Petrolessons offers Users a thirty (30)-day, no-questions-asked money back guarantee on Courses that no more than 50% of the course was taken. If you, as a User, have completed 50% or less of the course and are unhappy with such a Course and request a refund within thirty (30) days of the date that you paid for access to that Course, we will provide you with a full refund of the amount you paid (minus any transaction fees charged by the credit card or bank) and un-enroll you from the course.

Please note that if we believe that you are abusing our refund policy in our sole discretion, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse or restrict any and all current or future use of the Company Products, without any liability to you.

You, as a publisher, acknowledge and agree that Users have the right to receive a refund as set forth in this section.

In order to preserve the quality of content and products offered through the Petrolessons marketplace, we make an effort to select the best fit for our community, as well as offer suggestions, including but not limited to course description, course images, course material (look and feel, production quality etc).  As a publisher, You will be solely responsible for determining the fees You charge Users for Your Courses.

Publishers authorize the Company to perform the appropriate calculations, deduct and retain the transaction fee, and pay You the balance as indicated above.

17.2. Marketing Programs. Marketing Programs include, but are not limited to, Company’s Affiliate and Deals. You acknowledge that the amounts paid for Marketing Programs are not fixed, we will work with each publisher to determine the best promotional strategies, but, unless explicitely requested by a publisher, the Company can determine those amounts and which Courses to offer as part of Marketing Programs. Further, the Company does not guarantee any minimum level of success in connection with any Marketing Programs, and its selection of Courses to include is not an endorsement of those Courses, or of You. You give us permission to share information about You and your course(s) with Petrolessons employees and selected partners (for marketing or evaluation purposes), for which you will not receive compensation. For on-demand courses, we may make your course available for free for 1-week trials to potential key Enterprise clients to allow them to preview the material before purchasing group licenses. We use deals & price tests to find the optimal price for Your Course. You agree that We may offer Your Course in limited time deals & price tests for a discount. You understand that a limited time deal may also encompass an Affiliate, which will affect the final fees remitted. Deals may also be promoted through the Site, or third party websites at a discount. Discounts and other deals are typically available for less than a week, but you acknowledge that the actual duration and amount discounted may vary. If there are any instances where we feel courses should have discounts of 75% of more we will always inform and attempt to get OK from Publishers ahead of time,  and we will consider removing any courses from such promotions should publisher decide to not participate.  Publishers also have access to create coupons and can create their own promotions. Publishers agree not to abuse the system and not offer courses at 75-100% discount without prior discussion with Petrolessons.

17.3. Refunds. Users are entitled to refunds pursuant to Our 30-day Money back Guarantee policy and You agree that Company may deduct such refunds from subsequent amounts owed to You.

Company will remit to You any amounts remaining after the foregoing deductions and adjustments, in US dollars, via PayPal or wire transfer for larger amounts unless agreed beforehand on a different payment transfer service.

Payment will be made as per following schedule:

  • Online courses: Payment can be requested via the withdraw function on the publisher dashboard after (30) days in which the fee for a Course was received.

18- Affiliate Program

By default, all users are enrolled into our Affiliates Program and can earn 10% for any sales they generate. Publishers sharing 50% or above royalty, can also earn 10% on top of their own courses when they make a sale with their affiliate link. When an Affiliate promotes and sells a Course, a portion of the fee for each User the Affiliate refers to the Course is paid to the Affiliate.

17 U.S.C. 512(f).

Petrolessons reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a notification of claimed infringement or counter notification in violation of the law.
