Nexus has the right to refuse approval or upload of a Note on the platform for any reason and without providing any explanation to you.
There are no fees that you will be charged for uploading Notes onto the Platform, or offering Notes for sale on the Platform. Anyone who uploads a Note to the Platform is treated as an ‘Author’ of the Note for the purposes of these Terms.
Payments are not guaranteed and are reliant on and subject to other Members electing to access your Notes on the Platform. We offer no guarantee you will receive any payments as a result of uploading your Notes to the Platform.
We will pay Authors a percentage of the revenue collected each month by Nexus from its Subscriptions calculated by reference to how many Members add each Author Note(s) to its library that month (‘Author Commission’).
From time to time, Nexus may offer promotions or discounts to its users which may reduce the revenue collected by Nexus.
Author Commission is paid by Nexus to Authors via Paypal and Authors must set up a paypal account before uploading Notes to the Platform.
We may from time to time offer you the option to upload Notes in return for a discounted Subscription fee for the Services or access to premium features. The number of Notes we may require you to upload, and the period for which you receive a discount on the Subscription or access to premium features, may vary from time to time. We will advise you of any specific terms that are in place and obtain your consent to these at the time you wish to access the unlock feature of the Service.
Any Notes Authors choose to upload to the Platform in order to access our ‘Unlock’ feature will not receive any Author Commission.
When you upload your Notes to our Platform you grant us certain rights in those Notes. We may from time to time offer different features or benefits to you in consideration for you granting us different rights in relation to the Notes you upload. Further detail about this is provided below. We will obtain your prior consent in writing to any additional rights you may grant us.
Subject to any other additional rights you may grant Nexus (in consideration for accessing different benefits), you grant Nexus an exclusive, sub-licensable, irrevocable, worldwide licence to use, reproduce, make available to the public, publish, translate, modify, and distribute your Notes, for the purpose of making your Notes available to Nexus users and providing the Services, as well as all other rights necessary to use and exercise all rights in the Notes for any purpose in connection with the Nexus Notes business.
The licence you grant Nexus is exclusive. This means you will not be able to grant any other third parties rights or permissions to use the Notes. You must not upload your Notes to any other online learning platform which provides Services similar to Nexus Notes (‘Nexus Competitor’). The licence is not intended to otherwise limit your ownership rights in the Notes. Please contact us if you want to use your Notes in any way and are unsure whether this would be in breach of this exclusive licence.
The exclusive licence you grant to Nexus is for a period of three years from the date you upload it to the Platform. After this period the licence that you grant to Nexus to use and exercise all rights in the Notes (as described above) is granted to Nexus on a non-exclusive basis.
You grant all other users of the Platform, a licence to access your Notes and to use your Notes as permitted by the functionality of the Service and as set out in these Terms.
In relation to any Notes you upload as an ‘Unlock’ (as described in Section 5 ‘Uploading Notes’) the licence you grant Nexus will be granted on a ‘royalty free’ basis. This means you will not be entitled to receive any Author Commission or any other form of payment from Nexus when other users access the Notes.
