We make it possible for anybody, anywhere, to produce and disseminate instructional materials (instructors) and for students to access and use those materials for learning. We believe that providing our users with valuable educational content is best achieved through our marketplace model. To ensure the safety of our services and platform for you, us, and the community of instructors and students, we require regulations. Your use of the yigakati website, and other associated services (collectively, the "Services") is governed by these Terms.

 

Accepting the Instructor Terms is another requirement for publishing a course on the yigakati site. In our Privacy Policy, we also offer information on how we handle the personal information of our teachers and learners. Included by reference in these Terms are our Instructor Terms, Privacy Policy, and any other yigakati policies that apply to your use of our Services.

 

Our website enables you to send communications to third parties that support yigakati with information about your app usage, browsing habits, and app activity. You accept these communications by using our services.

 

Accounts

You need an account for most activities on our platform. Keep your password somewhere safe, because you’re responsible for all activity associated with your account. If you suspect someone else is using your account, let us know by contacting our Support Team. You must have reached the age of consent for online services in your country to use YigaKati.

 

You need an account for most activities on our platform, including to purchase and access content or to submit content for publication. When setting up and maintaining your account, you must provide and continue to provide accurate and complete information, including a valid email address. You have complete responsibility for your account and everything that happens on your account, including for any harm or damage (to us or anyone else) caused by someone using your account without your permission. This means you need to be careful with your password. You may not transfer your account to someone else or use someone else’s account. If you contact us to request access to an account, we will not grant you such access unless you can provide us with the information that we need to prove you are the owner of that account. In the event of the death of a user, the account of that user will be closed.

 

You may not share your account login credentials with anyone else. You are responsible for what happens with your account and YigaKati will not intervene in disputes between students or instructors who have shared account login credentials. You must notify us immediately upon learning that someone else may be using your account without your permission (or if you suspect any other breach of security) by contacting our Support Team. We may request some information from you to confirm that you are indeed the owner of your account.

 

Students and instructors must be at least 18 years of age to create an account on YigaKati and use the Services. If you are younger than 18 but above the required age for consent to use online services where you live (for example, 13 in the US or 16 in Ireland), you may not set up an account, but we encourage you to invite a parent or guardian to open an account and help you access content that is appropriate for you. If you are below this age of consent to use online services, you may not create a YigaKati account. If we discover that you have created an account that violates these rules, we will terminate your account. Under our Instructor Terms, you may be requested to verify your identity before you are authorized to submit content for publication on YigaKati.

 

You can terminate your account at any time by following the steps here. Check our Privacy Policy to see what happens when you terminate your account.

 

Content Enrollment and Lifetime Access

When you enroll in a course or other content, you get a license from us to view it via the YigaKati Services and no other use. Don’t try to transfer or resell content in any way. We generally grant you a lifetime access license, except when we must disable the content because of legal or policy reasons or for enrollments via Subscription Plans.

 

Under our Instructor Terms, when instructors publish content on YigaKati, they grant YigaKati a license to offer a license to the content to students. This means that we have the right to sublicense the content to enrolled students. As a student, when you enroll in a course or other content, whether it’s free or paid content, you are getting a license from YigaKati to view the content via the YigaKati platform and Services, and YigaKati is the licensor of record. Content is licensed, and not sold, to you. This license does not give you any right to resell the content in any manner (including by sharing account information with a purchaser or illegally downloading the content and sharing it on torrent sites).

 

In legal, more complete terms, YigaKati grants you (as a student) a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the content for which you have paid all required fees, solely for your personal, non-commercial, educational purposes through the Services, in accordance with these Terms and any conditions or restrictions associated with the particular content or feature of our Services. All other uses are expressly prohibited. You may not reproduce, redistribute, transmit, assign, sell, broadcast, rent, share, lend, modify, adapt, edit, create derivative works of, sublicense, or otherwise transfer or use any content unless we give you explicit permission to do so in a written agreement signed by a YigaKati authorized representative. This also applies to content you can access via any of our APIs.

 

We generally give a lifetime access license to our students when they enroll in a course or other content. However, we reserve the right to revoke any license to access and use any content at any point in time in the event where we decide or are obligated to disable access to the content due to legal or policy reasons, for example, if the course or other content you enrolled in is the object of a copyright complaint, or if we determine it violates our Trust & Safety Guidelines. This lifetime access license does not apply to enrollments via Subscription Plans or to add-on features and services associated with the course or other content you enroll in. For example, instructors may decide at any time to no longer provide teaching assistance or Q&A services in association with the content. To be clear, the lifetime access is to the course content but not to the instructor.

 

Instructors may not grant licenses to their content to students directly, and any such direct license shall be null and void and a violation of these Terms."

 

 

 

 

Payments, Credits, and Refunds

When you make a payment, you agree to use a valid payment method.

Pricing

The prices of content on YigaKati are determined based on the terms of the Instructor Terms.

 

Payments

You agree to pay the fees for content that you purchase, and you authorize us to charge your debit or credit card or process other means of payment (such as mobile money wallet) for those fees. Yigakati works with payment service providers to offer you the most convenient payment methods in your country and to keep your payment information secure. We may update your payment methods using information provided by our payment service providers. Check out our Privacy Policy for more details.

 

When you make a purchase, you agree not to use an invalid or unauthorized payment method. If your payment method fails and you still get access to the content you are enrolling in, you agree to pay us the corresponding fees within 30 days of notification from us. We reserve the right to disable access to any content for which we have not received adequate payment.

 

Content and Behavior Rules

You can only use Yiga Kati for lawful purposes. You’re responsible for all the content that you post on our platform. You should keep the reviews, questions, posts, courses and other content you upload in line with our Trust & Safety Guidelines and the law, and respect the intellectual property rights of others. We can ban your account for repeated or major offenses. If you think someone is infringing your copyright on our platform, let us know.

 

You may not access or use the Services or create an account for unlawful purposes. Your use of the Services and behavior on our platform must comply with applicable local or national laws or regulations of your country. You are solely responsible for the knowledge of and compliance with such laws and regulations that are applicable to you.

 

If you are a student, the Services enable you to ask questions to the instructors of courses or other content you are enrolled in, and to post reviews of content. For certain content, the instructor may invite you to submit content as “homework” or tests. Don’t post or submit anything that is not yours.

 

If you are an instructor, you can submit content for publication on the platform and you can also communicate with the students who have enrolled in your courses or other content. In both cases, you must abide by the law and respect the rights of others: you cannot post any course, question, answer, review or other content that violates applicable local or national laws or regulations of your country. You are solely responsible for any courses, content, and actions you post or take via the platform and Services and their consequences. Make sure you understand all the copyright restrictions set forth in the Instructor Terms before you submit any content for publication on Yiga Kati.

 

If we are put on notice that your course or content violates the law or the rights of others (for example, if it is established that it violates intellectual property or image rights of others, or is about an illegal activity), if we discover that your content or behavior violates our Trust & Safety Guidelines, or if we believe your content or behavior is unlawful, inappropriate, or objectionable (for example if you impersonate someone else), we may remove your content from our platform. Yiga Kati complies with copyright laws. Check out our Intellectual Property Policy for more details.

 

Yiga Kati has discretion in enforcing these Terms and our Trust & Safety Guidelines. We may restrict or terminate your permission to use our platform and Services or ban your account at any time, with or without notice, for any or no reason, including for any violation of these Terms, if you fail to pay any fees when due, for fraudulent chargeback requests, upon the request of law enforcement or government agencies, for extended periods of inactivity, for unexpected technical issues or problems, if we suspect that you engage in fraudulent or illegal activities, or for any other reason in our sole discretion. Upon any such termination we may delete your account and content, and we may prevent you from further access to the platforms and use of our Services. Your content may still be available on the platforms even if your account is terminated or suspended. You agree that we will have no liability to you or any third party for termination of your account, removal of your content, or blocking of your access to our platforms and services.

 

If a user has published content that infringes your copyright or trademark rights, please let us know. Our Instructor Terms require our instructors to follow the law and respect the intellectual property rights of others. For more details on how to file a copyright or trademark infringement claim with us, see our Intellectual Property Policy.

 

Yiga Kati’s Rights to Content You Post

You retain ownership of content you post to our platform, including your courses. We’re allowed to share your content to anyone through any media, including promoting it via advertising on other websites.

 

The content you post as a student or instructor (including courses) remains yours. By posting courses and other content, you allow Yiga Kati to reuse and share it but you do not lose any ownership rights you may have over your content. If you are an instructor, be sure to understand the content licensing terms that are detailed in the Instructor Terms.

 

When you post content, comments, questions, reviews, and when you submit to us ideas and suggestions for new features or improvements, you authorize Yiga Kati to use and share this content with anyone, distribute it and promote it on any platform and in any media, and to make modifications or edits to it as we see fit.

 

In legal language, by submitting or posting content on or through the platforms, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display, and distribute your content (including your name and image) in any and all media or distribution methods (existing now or later developed). This includes making your content available to other companies, organizations, or individuals who partner with Yiga Kati for the syndication, broadcast, distribution, or publication of content on other media, as well as using your content for marketing purposes. You also waive any rights of privacy, publicity, or other rights of a similar nature applicable to all these uses, to the extent permissible under applicable law. You represent and warrant that you have all the rights, power, and authority necessary to authorize us to use any content that you submit. You also agree to all such uses of your content with no compensation paid to you.

 

Using Yiga Kati at Your Own Risk

Anyone can use Yiga Kati to create and publish content and instructors and we enable instructors and students to interact for teaching and learning. Like other platforms where people can post content and interact, some things can go wrong, and you use Yiga Kati at your own risk.

 

Our platform model means we do not review or edit the content for legal issues, and we are not in a position to determine the legality of content. We do not exercise any editorial control over the content that is available on the platform and, as such, do not guarantee in any manner the reliability, validity, accuracy, or truthfulness of the content. If you access content, you rely on any information provided by an instructor at your own risk.

 

By using the Services, you may be exposed to content that you consider offensive, indecent, or objectionable. Yiga Kati has no responsibility to keep such content from you and no liability for your access or enrollment in any course or other content, to the extent permissible under applicable law. This also applies to any content relating to health, wellness, and physical exercise. You acknowledge the inherent risks and dangers in the strenuous nature of these types of content, and by accessing such content you choose to assume those risks voluntarily, including risk of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death. You assume full responsibility for the choices you make before, during, and after your access to the content.

 

When you interact directly with a student or an instructor, you must be careful about the types of personal information that you share. While we restrict the types of information instructors may request from students, we do not control what students and instructors do with the information they obtain from other users on the platform. You should not share your email or other personal information about you for your safety.

 

We do not hire or employ instructors nor are we responsible or liable for any interactions involved between instructors and students. We are not liable for disputes, claims, losses, injuries, or damage of any kind that might arise out of or relate to.

 

Miscellaneous Legal Terms:

These Terms serve as a binding agreement between users and Yigakati, safeguarding both parties' interests and outlining the legal framework of their relationship.

 

Binding Agreement:

Upon registration or access to our Services, users enter into a legally binding contract with Yigakati. Failure to agree to these Terms prohibits access to our Services. If representing a legal entity, users warrant their authority to bind such entities.

 

These Terms, including linked agreements and policies, constitute the entire agreement, superseding any prior arrangements. Invalid provisions will be replaced to maintain the original intent, preserving the validity of the remaining Terms.

 

Certain sections, such as Content Enrollment, yigakati’s Rights, and Dispute Resolution, persist even after termination of these Terms, ensuring ongoing compliance.

 

Disclaimers:

Yigakati disclaims any responsibility for platform downtime, instructor misrepresentations, or security breaches. Services are provided "as is," with no warranties regarding reliability, accuracy, or suitability. Users accept inherent risks and acknowledge limitations of liability.

 

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue features without liability for resulting interruptions. Events beyond our control, like natural disasters or government restrictions, may affect service availability.

 

Limitation of Liability:

Users assume risks associated with using our Services, with Yigakati and affiliates not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Our liability is limited to the greater of $100 USD or the amount paid by the user in the preceding 12 months.

 

Some jurisdictions may not permit exclusion of certain liabilities, thus certain provisions may not apply.

 

Indemnification:

Users agree to indemnify and hold Yigakati harmless from third-party claims arising from their content, use of Services, or violation of these Terms. Indemnification obligations endure beyond termination.

 

Governing Law and Jurisdiction:

Governing law and jurisdiction are determined by user location.

 

Legal Actions and Notices:

Legal actions must be initiated within one year of the cause of action. Notices must be in writing via registered mail or email.

 

Relationship Between Us:

No joint venture, partnership, or employment relationship exists between users and Yigakati.

 

Updating These Terms

From time to time, we may update these Terms to clarify our practices or to reflect new or different practices (such as when we add new features), and YigaKati reserves the right in its sole discretion to modify and/or make changes to these Terms at any time. If we make any material change, we will notify you using prominent means, such as by email notice sent to the email address specified in your account or by posting a notice through our Services. Modifications will become effective on the day they are posted unless stated otherwise.

 

Your continued use of our Services after changes become effective shall mean that you accept those changes. Any revised Terms shall supersede all previous Terms.
