5. Pricing

The final price of a course is set by Scholastia. Educators do not possess any control over setting the fee for an online course.

6. Revenue Share

By participating in Scholastia, you agree that for each collection, your revenue share will be calculated as follows:

1. Educators will receive 25% of the net course fee (‘net course fee’ refers to the fee left after excluding applicable GST, payment gateway charges and/or any additional expenses involved) of an online course. For example, if a course is listed for INR 3000 on our website, excluding applicable 18% GST and 2.36% payment gateway charges and/or additional involved expenses, the educator will be entitled to receive INR 616.84 per sale made on that particular course.

7. Payments

1. After formally registering as an educator, you will gain access to your very own instructor dashboard. There under “Settings” you will find the option “Withdraw” where you can enter and save your bank details.
2. For us to pay you in a timely manner, you must own a RazorPay, UPI, GPay, Paytm, PhonPe, or Indian bank account (for Indian residents only) in good standing and must keep us informed of the correct email associated with your account.
3. When a student purchases your Submitted Content, we calculate the gross amount of the sale as the amount actually received by Scholastia from the student (“Gross Amount”). From this, we subtract any Sales Taxes to calculate the net amount of the sale (“Net Amount”).
4. Scholastia makes all instructor payments in Indian Rupees (INR) regardless of the currency with which the sale was made. Scholastia is not responsible for your foreign currency conversion fees, wiring fees, or any other processing fees that you may incur. Your revenue report will show the sales price (in local currency) and your converted revenue amount (in INR).
5. Depending on the applicable revenue share model, payment of one month – in which (a) we receive the fee for a course or (b) a course sale is recorded – will be made within the 5^th day of the following month. E.g., if your course begins to sell from the first week of June, the total amount of revenue generated till the 30^th day of June will be credited to your account within the 5^th day of July; however, if your course starts to sell in the last week of June, only that last week’s recorded revenue will be credited to your account within the 5^th day of July (from then on, every full month’s revenue will be regularly released within the following month’s 5^th day).
