What are Online Course Terms and Conditions?
Online Course Terms and Conditions are the terms you set for customers who purchase an online course on your website.
If you’re an educator or industry professional and make an online course for students to purchase and learn from, this contract is for you!
You want to ensure all the hard work you’ve put into your online course isn’t stolen out from under you. You also want to ensure your business practices on refund requests, payment schedule, intellectual property etc., are explained to your students before they purchase.

What does this Online Course Terms and Conditions template cover?
Our Online Course Terms and Conditions template includes everything you need:
- Payment – payment schedule, payment methods you accept etc
- Licence – Licence which allows customers to access course materials while you retain ownership
- Discounts – your policy for discounts and coupon codes
- Access – how students can log in and access the course
- Conduct – rules for participation in the course
- Events Beyond Control – to cover events beyond your control (e.g. COVID19, natural disasters)

- Confidentiality – both parties agree to keep confidential information private
- Dispute Resolution – process to deal with disputes if a customer has a complaint or is unhappy

Australian Consumer Law – what’s required?
Australian Consumer Law requires you to include the following details in your Terms and Conditions:
- A statement that you comply with Australian Consumer Law
- How you will provide a refund, repair or replacement of faulty products
- Details of your guarantee
- Details of any warranty (if you provide one, which is not obligatory)
Remember, you cannot have a blanket “no refunds” policy in your T&Cs. You are required by law to guarantee your goods and services against faults or if they do not perform as advertised.
Where should I publish my Online Course Terms and Conditions?
It is standard practice to display a tickbox linking to your T&Cs in the shopping cart or checkout. Customers must click on the “OK“, “I Agree“, or “I Accept” button before they complete an order. This is known as a clickwrap agreement.
You can also publish your T&Cs on your website as a new page and place a link in the menu or footer together with your Privacy Policy and Website Terms of Use.
Can I have a separate Refund Policy page on my website?
Yes, you can have a separate Refund Policy page on your website. However, it should mirror the terms you include in your Online Course Terms and Conditions. In other words, you should copy what is in your T&Cs and make sure the same information is reflected in your Refund Policy.
If you only had a Refund Policy on your website, a customer could argue that they did not accept the refund policy when they signed up, and are therefore not bound by it.
What if I sell to Australia AND overseas customers?
No worries, you can still cover this in one document. Just ensure you update any relevant sections on payment etc., to include international customers.
Generally, you want the governing law for your legal agreements to be where you are based so that if a dispute arises, you are covered by local laws.
If you sell or market to European customers, you will also need a GDPR Privacy Policy to comply with EU privacy laws.
Course Platforms – Compatibility
There are a number of popular course platforms available, including Udemy, Teachable, Thinkific and Kartra.
Our template can be used with any of these platforms. Normally, just a few quick steps are involved to add your T&Cs to the platform’s backend (see example here).

AUGreat foundation but needs a lot of additions
This is to be expected, but having purchased a different template previously, I found this one a lot less detailed. I had to add all the T&Cs I wanted specific for my course (expected) but I also had to add other things I felt were necessary, like definitions, signatories, etc from my previous purchase. Overall, very much still worth it but just not quite as smooth as my first contract.
AUSo easy
Template was exactly what I was looking for and was super easy to use. Took less and 15mins to set up. Totally worth the money in the time it saved me.
AUQuick and easy
Perfect for what I need it for and very easy to adjust. Also included much more coverage for things I hadn't yet thought about. Nice to have piece of mind prior to launching course
