Please note that access to some content may be restricted or modified at any time by Odecy, including but not limited to updates, revisions, or the discontinuation of certain courses. In such cases, you will be notified of any significant changes that may impact your access to materials.

5- Terms of Collaboration with Instructors at Odecy

Content Protection Rights:

- The course is fully protected, and no party is allowed to access or use it without the instructor's consent.
- Only two platform administrators (admins) have the right to access the content, and they are responsible for periodic reviews to ensure quality, such as verifying that files are free of viruses or checking for logos from other platforms, etc.
- The instructor will be informed of any violations that require correction.

Termination of Course Collaboration:

-If the instructor decides to terminate collaboration with the platform, the course will immediately stop being sold.
-The course will remain available only to students who have already purchased it.

Promoting the Platform and Courses:

- All advertisements and promotional materials, such as posts and reels, are published on the platform’s pages without any additional costs to the instructor.
- Discounts may be applied to courses during occasions or for promotional purposes, and instructors are informed about them. Their profit percentage remains fixed.
- It is preferred for the instructor to participate in events and workshops organized by the platform as a free promotional opportunity for both the platform and the instructor.
- A promotional video for the course can be filmed in a studio in coordination with the instructor.

Allocated Storage for Instructors:

- The platform provides up to 10 GB of storage for video uploads.
- The storage for other files is unlimited as it follows a different uploading system.

Financial Transactions:

- The platform takes only 20% of the sales revenue of any course, while the instructor receives 80%.
- The percentage is calculated based on the course's set price, excluding the fees and taxes associated with payment platforms. These taxes are added to the subscriber’s payment during the checkout process.
- The instructor is notified in advance of any discounts applied to their courses during special occasions.
- Instructors can request withdrawals after their earnings reach 10,000 EGP, provided they have added their financial details in the account settings, such as their InstaPay address or e-wallet number. Withdrawal requests are reviewed within one day, and payments are processed immediately.

External Sales Condition:

- If the instructor sells the course with the same content on another platform, the price must match the price listed on Odecy.

The Instructor’s Right to Use the Platform for Personal Purposes or External Sales:

- The instructor has the right to add students or groups to the course as gifts, for contests, or through external sales, by providing their names and email addresses after they have registered on the platform. We will add the courses to their accounts for free.
- This is one of the features we offer to our instructors and is not available on other platforms because our goal is to provide value, not focus solely on financial gain.

Two Systems on the Platform Applied to Course Content for Encouragement and Promotion:
The two systems are financially affiliated with the platform to support development, funding, and as a means of encouraging the use of the platform and promoting it, in exchange for all the benefits provided to the instructor as mentioned earlier. These two systems are explained below (to keep the instructor fully informed):

- Subscription System: Allows access to selected courses under a subscription model for a nominal fee (e.g., access to three selected courses for 15 days). The content will be hidden after the subscription period ends. This system enables students to browse these courses to decide what to subscribe to or gain insights into a specific field.

- Point System: Students earn points by completing courses, submitting assignments, and interacting on the platform. These points can be used to access additional courses based on a clear exchange system (e.g., a course priced at 700 EGP requires 1,000 points).

Meetings (Sessions):

- The instructor can activate the meetings option from their settings and set an hourly rate for online or offline sessions.
- The instructor's profit percentage from meetings is the same as from courses, with no deductions.
- The meetings feature will soon be available directly on the platform to eliminate the need for external applications.

Platform Message:

- Our main goal is to provide meaningful and beneficial educational content, not just focus on financial profit.
- We commit to content quality and providing an exceptional educational experience for all while adhering to ethical practices.

May everyone succeed, God willing!
