Terms
Here are the legal and financial terms that we typically use when working with course instructors (this is the broad overview; you will receive a full contract with this all spelled out). I’m flexible and happy to work with you to come up with a solution that meets both of our needs.
Compensation
We pay an advance to the course creator of $500, half on signing the contract to work together, and the other half when the course is released.
Revenue for the courses is split 60/40 (60% for R for the Rest of Us, 40% for the course creator). I pay any royalties owed to the course creator on a quarterly basis.
Ownership
All videos are owned by R for the Rest of Us. All non-video materials will be made freely available on the R for the Rest of Us organization GitHub using a CC-BY-SA-4.0 License.
Exclusivity
The instructor agrees not to create a course that covers the same topic on another online platform for at least 12 months from the release of this course.
Agreement Expiration
These terms remain in effect for one year after the course is released. After that, David and the instructor will discuss any possible changes to the terms.
