What are Online Course Terms and Conditions?
Online Course Terms and Conditions are the terms you set for customers who purchase an online course on your website.
If you’re an educator or industry professional and make an online course for students to purchase and learn from, this contract is for you!
You want to ensure all the hard work you’ve put into your online course isn’t stolen out from under you. You also want to ensure your business practices on refund requests, payment schedule, intellectual property etc., are explained to your students before they purchase.

What does this Online Course Terms and Conditions template cover?

- Payment – payment schedule, payment methods you accept etc
- Licence – Licence which allows customers to access course materials while you retain ownership
- Discounts – your policy for discounts and coupon codes
- Access – how students can log in and access the course

Australian Consumer Law – what’s required?
Australian Consumer Law requires you to include the following details in your Terms and Conditions:
- A statement that you comply with Australian Consumer Law
- How you will provide a refund, repair or replacement of faulty products
- Details of your guarantee
- Details of any warranty (if you provide one, which is not obligatory)
Remember, you cannot have a blanket “no refunds” policy in your T&Cs. You are required by law to guarantee your goods and services against faults or if they do not perform as advertised.
Where should I publish my Online Course Terms and Conditions?
It is standard practice to display a tickbox linking to your T&Cs in the shopping cart or checkout. Customers must click on the “OK“, “I Agree“, or “I Accept” button before they complete an order. This is known as a clickwrap agreement.
You can also publish your T&Cs on your website as a new page and place a link in the menu or footer together with your Privacy Policy and Website Terms of Use.
Can I have a separate Refund Policy page on my website?
Yes, you can have a separate Refund Policy page on your website. However, it should mirror the terms you include in your Online Course Terms and Conditions. In other words, you should copy what is in your T&Cs and make sure the same information is reflected in your Refund Policy.
If you only had a Refund Policy on your website, a customer could argue that they did not accept the refund policy when they signed up, and are therefore not bound by it.
What if I sell to Australia AND overseas customers?
No worries, you can still cover this in one document. Just ensure you update any relevant sections on payment etc., to include international customers.
Generally, you want the governing law for your legal agreements to be where you are based so that if a dispute arises, you are covered by local laws.
If you sell or market to European customers, you will also need a GDPR Privacy Policy to comply with EU privacy laws.
Course Platforms – Compatibility
There are a number of popular course platforms available, including Udemy, Teachable, Thinkific and Kartra.
Our template can be used with any of these platforms. Normally, just a few quick steps are involved to add your T&Cs to the platform’s backend (see example here).
