Each resource can be listed only once on TheStudentShed.com. Resources for an inconsistent price. You’re welcome to offer your work in other online retail outlets and marketplaces, but it’s important that your Student Shed Buyers are not being charged a higher price or being charged for something that you’ve posted for free somewhere else.

The Student Shed is a place where persons share, buy, and sell educational materials and resources. These guidelines provide information on the types of resources that we currently support. Don’t post resources that fall outside of these guidelines. Set and honor your prices. How you price your resources is up to you. You must offer the full material advertised in your resource listing for the price listed, and you cannot require members to pay any additional fees to access your resource. You may not charge more on TheStudentShed.com for a resource that is offered for free or less elsewhere. Be accurate and honest. TheStudentShed.com community is built on trust. You should only sell resources that you’ve produced yourself. Make sure your resource is complete and accurate. Don’t be misleading about what your resource is or includes. It’s your responsibility to ensure that the titles, descriptions, and other materials in your resources are truthful, accurate and free of mistakes and technical issues. Maintain accessibility and fix technical issues. By offering resources for sale through our Services, you agree to provide undisrupted access to your resources to members who have purchased them. Each resource file you upload to our service must be complete, fully accessible, and in working condition at all times. This means, if any part of your resource content is hosted on another platform or relies on a third party service, you must maintain third party content at all times. You may not require the purchase of any additional software or equipment not listed as required in your resource description. You may not require the purchase, subscription, of an account with any other websites or services to access your full resource. Respect intellectual property rights. Your resources must only contain material that you own the rights to (copyright, trademark, and other rights) or that you have the legal right to use commercially. When you upload a resource to our services, you represent and warrant to us and to members who may use your resource that you have the necessary rights to use all of the content you include in your resource, that neither TheStudentShed.com nor any member will have to obtain a license or pay royalties to any third parties, and that the intended use of your resource by TheStudentShed.com or a member will not infringe on anyone’s rights (including copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights, personality, publicity, or privacy rights). Don’t direct Users to alternative sales channels. TheStudentShed.com should not be used as a way to drive traffic to another website or business. You may not include hyperlinks to alternative sales channels such as another online marketplace or e-commerce site where your resources can be purchased. Although not mandatory, we advise that you offer a free sample or free product to members of the Student Shed community. By doing so, members will get an opportunity to experience the quality of your product. Your online store will operate in accordance with The Student Shed Marketplace operating hours. Above all be a supportive and respectful community member, let us work together to develop and grow our amazing eLearning community. 6. Your rights and obligations as a Student Shed Creator Creators agree to resolve any disputes directly with a buyer. In the event that a dispute is escalated to The Student Shed Support Team, The Student Shed reserves the right to issue a refund to a buyer if a transaction is found to be in violation of the Creator Policy. In the event that a buyer submits a chargeback, TheStudentShed.com will respond to the credit card networks on behalf of the creator involved in the transaction; the creator agrees to provide any requested information to us within five calendar days of the request. TheStudentShed.com reserves the right to recoup funds associated with buyer chargebacks. 7. Appointment of The Student Shed as Limited Collection Agent for Creators Each creator appoints The Student Shed as its agent for the limited purpose of receiving, holding and settling payments for the creator. The Student Shed will settle payments that are actually received by The Student Shed to each creator, less any amounts owed to The Student Shed. Each creator agrees that a buyer payment received by TheStudentShed.com, on behalf of creator, satisfies the buyer's obligations to make payment to creator, regardless of whether The Student Shed actually settles such payment to creator. If The Student Shed does not settle any such payments as described in these Terms to a creator, the creator will have recourse only against The Student Shed and not the buyer. 8. Deposits A. Payment Account. All funds resulting from a completed transaction will be reflected as a balance in a creator’s payment account. Transactions are considered complete once the payment is approved by The Student Shed or our fraud analysis service provider. Any refunds, adjustments, or other amounts paid to buyers in connection with purchases, or for funds received since the last payment day, are also applied to the creator’s payment account balance. Funds in a payment account balance are eligible for deposit (the “Available Balance”) into a creator’s bank account at the end of any applicable deposit delay, reserve, or hold period as determined by the creator’s bank. B. Scheduled Deposits. The Student Shed will instruct our payments partners to initiate a deposit of a creator’s Available Balance into the creator’s bank account on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis. The Student Shed initiates the deposit request. The actual timing of the deposit may depend on how quickly a creator’s bank processes the request. 9. Recoupment We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to seek reimbursement from a creator in any of the following circumstances: (a) we provide a refund to a buyer because a creator did not promptly deliver the goods or (b) we discover erroneous or duplicate transactions related to a creator, (c) we receive a chargeback from a buyer's credit card issuer or reversal of payment for the amount of a buyer's purchase from a creator, or (d) a creator does not act in accordance with The Student Shed policy. 10. Payment Processing Fees A. Overview. TheStudentShed.com charges a fee (the “Payment Processing Fee”) for processing each transaction through TheStudentShed.com Payments. The fee amount will be assessed on the gross order amount, including shipping and tax (if applicable). Payment Processing Fees will be reflected in your payment account. The Payment Processing Fee will be deducted from the total amount of the payment at the time the payment is considered complete. We reserve the right to modify the Payment Processing Fee at any time. In the event of any partial or full refunds credited back to a buyer, the Payment Processing Fee and other applicable fees will be recalculated based on the adjusted sale price. The difference between the original Payment Processing Fee and the adjusted Payment Processing Fee will be applied to the refund amount being credited back to the creator. Other applicable fees will be refunded on the creator’s bill. B. Fee Amount. Payment processing fees vary based on the location of a creator’s bank account. 11. Changes to the Terms We may update these Terms from time to time. If we believe that the changes are material, we’ll definitely let you know by doing one (or more) of the following: (1) posting the changes through the website or (2) sending you an email or message about the changes. That way you can decide whether you want to continue using the Services. Changes will be effective upon the posting of the changes. You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any changes. Your use of the Services following the changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. 12. Termination by You You may terminate your account with The Student Shed at any time from your account settings. Terminating your account will not affect the availability of some of Your Content that you posted through the marketplace prior to termination. 13. Termination by The Student Shed We may terminate or suspend your account (and any related accounts) and your access to the marketplace at any time, for any reason that does not comply with the creator policy, with advance notice. If we do so, it’s important to understand that you don’t have a contractual or legal right to continue to use our Services, for example, to sell or buy on our website. If you or The Student Shed terminate your account, you may lose any information associated with your account, including Your Content. 14. We May Discontinue the Services The Student Shed reserves the right to change, suspend, or discontinue any of the Services at any time, for any reason. We will not be liable to you for the effect that any changes to the Services may have on you, including your income or your ability to generate revenue through the Services. 15. Refund Policy At The Student Shed, the vast majority of resources purchased are delivered electronically. Unlike a t-shirt or a book, you can't (really) return a PDF, Word document, or other file once it’s downloaded. For that reason, all sales of digital content hosted on The Student Shed are considered final and nonrefundable. We get though that things don't always go as planned, so we offer refunds in a few limited circumstances. If a purchase falls into one of the exceptions listed below, buyers may be eligible for a refund. Refund requests must be submitted within one year of your purchase and are granted on a case-by-case basis. Compromised Resource File - A resource file is damaged or is missing content. Example: A thumbnail or preview is uploaded instead of the resource itself. Misrepresentation- A resource preview and/or description misrepresents what is actually contained in the resource. (Requests are subject to The Student Shed review.) Example: A product description states there are 50 multiple choice questions in a resource but instead there are 50 true or false questions. Technical Limitations— A buyer is unable to access a resource because the technical requirements aren't included in the resource description. Example: A resource is a Notebook file but this is not listed anywhere on the product page. Duplicate Purchase— The same resource is purchased twice. Example: A buyer purchase a resource contained in a specific bundle and then later purchase that bundle within one year of the original purchase. File Download Status— A buyer purchased a resource but never downloaded the file from your "My Purchases" page. (Verified by The Student Shed). If a buyer’s purchase meets these guidelines, he/she can submit a refund request. Accept
