2. Course Enrollment and Access

Upon your enrollment for a course, you are given a license from THRIVE to view it via the THRIVE Services ONLY. It should be noted that you are not allowed to transfer or resell courses.

THRIVE grants you an access license, except when the course is disabled arising from legal or policy reasons.

When instructors publish a course on THRIVE, they grant THRIVE a license to offer a license to the course to students. This means that we have the right to sublicense the course to the students who enroll for the course. As a student, upon your enrollment for a course, whether it is a free or a paid course, THRIVE gives you a license to view the course via the THRIVE platform and Services but THRIVE is the licensor of record. Courses are licensed, and not sold to students. This license does not give you any right to resell the course in any manner (including by sharing account information with a purchaser or illegally downloading the course and sharing it on torrent sites).

Legally, THRIVE grants you (as a student) a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the courses and associated 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 each course 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 course unless we give you explicit permission to do so in a written agreement signed by a THRIVE authorized representative. This also applies to content you can access via any of our APIs.

Generally, THRIVE gives access license to our students when they enroll for a course. However, THRIVE reserves the right and discretion to revoke any license to access and use courses and reserves the right to disable access to a course for legal or policy reasons, for example, if the course enrolled for is the object of a copyright complaint, or if it is determined that its contents violate THRIVE’s Trust & Safety Guidelines. The access is not applicable to add-on features and services associated with a course. For example, translation captions of courses may be disabled by instructors at any time, and instructors may decide at any time to no longer provide teaching assistance or Q&A services in association with a course. To put more clearly, the access only applies to the course content and not to the instructor. Instructors may not grant licenses to their courses to students directly, and any such direct license shall be null and void and shall be a violation of these Terms.

3.1 Pricing
The prices of courses on THRIVE are determined by the Instructor with some input from THRIVE.
