5. The Services; Disputes and Release.
(a)Generally.
Through the Services, we provide a platform enabling Creators to connect with Learners who wish to enroll in Courses created by such Creators. zick learn role in this process is solely to provide the technology and platform that enables this connection. Enrollment and participation in Courses involves a direct relationship between a Creator and a Learner. zick learn is not a party to any agreements between Creators and Learners with respect to Courses, and does not have control over and disclaims all liability for the content, quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of any Courses created by Creators.
zick learn responsibilities are limited to:
(i) facilitating the availability of the Services; and
(ii) serving as the limited agent of each Creator as described above.
(b) Creating Courses.
When you register to be an Creator, you’ll be able to create Courses and: (i) make them available via zick learn platform where Learners may access through the Site; or
(ii) make them available to Learners by means of your own selected advertising and promotional channels, including third-party websites, social media, or other such channels (collectively, the “Channels”).
zick learn will also provide users with access to an automated system that allows Creator(s) to enroll Learners in their Courses. For each course you create, you must specify in reasonable detail:
(1) the skill set required for a Learner to participate in and complete the Course;
(2) instructions sufficient for a Learner with the requisite skill set to participate in and complete the Course; and
(3) comply with all rules and guidelines set by zick learn with respect to Course creation. Creator(s) will be responsible for all tasks, duties, and responsibilities associated with the development of Courses. Creator(s) agree to use best efforts to continuously and diligently monitor and supervise Learners’ participation in and completion of the Course (including by responding to Learners’ inquiries). We grant you limited permission to use the zick learn name solely to denote the existence of these Terms, in connection with the advertising and promotion of the Course(s) you make available through the Services; provided that we must approve your use of the zick learn name in each instance.
(c) Relationship of the Parties.
Creators are not employees, agents or contractors of zick technologies LTD, nor are they otherwise in a direct or indirect working or service provider relationship with zick technologies LTD. You acknowledge that zick technologies LTD does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control a Creator or such Creator’s work created in relation to the Courses. zick technologies LTD does not set a Creator’s work hours or location of work. zick technologies LTD will never provide a Creator with training or any equipment needed for a particular Course. You agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend zick learn from any and all claims by or on behalf of an Creator that a Creator was misclassified as an independent contractor or employee which may result in taxes, penalties, interest and attorney's fees.
