5. Payments

5.1 Revenue Share

When a student purchases your Pre-Recorded Course or Live Streaming session, we calculate the gross amount of the sale as the amount actually received by Airlearners from the student ("Gross Amount"). From this, we calculate the net amount of the sale ("Net Amount").

If you have not opted into Airlearners's Foundation Member Program or Airlearners Preferred Member Program, your revenue share will be 50% of the Net Amount less any applicable deductions, such as student refunds. If we change this payment rate, we will provide you 30 days notice using prominent means, such as via email or by posting a notice through our Services.

5.2 Receiving Payments

For us to pay you in a timely manner, you must own a Stripe account in good standing and must keep us informed of the correct email associated with your account. You must also provide any identifying information or tax documentation (such as an ABN number) necessary for payment of amounts due, and you agree that we have the right to withhold appropriate taxes from your payments. We reserve the right to withhold payments or impose other penalties if we do not receive proper identifying information or tax documentation from you. You understand and agree that you are ultimately responsible for any taxes on your income.

Depending on the applicable revenue share model, payment will be made within 7 days of the end of the month in which (a) we receive the fee for a course or (b) the relevant course consumption occurred. Payment may be made earlier than this time.

As a Tutor, you are responsible for determining whether you are eligible to be paid by an Australian company. We reserve the right not to pay out funds in the event of identified fraud, violations of intellectual property rights, or other violations of the law.

If we cannot settle funds into your payment account after the period of time set forth by your state, country, or other government authority in its unclaimed property laws, we may process the funds due to you in accordance with our legal obligations, including by submitting those funds to the appropriate government authority as required by law.

You acknowledge and agree that students have the right to receive a refund, as detailed in the Terms and Conditions. Tutors will not receive any revenue from transactions for which a refund has been granted under the Terms and Conditions.

If a student asks for a refund after we have paid the relevant Tutor payment, we reserve the right to either (1) deduct the amount of the refund from the next payment sent to the Tutor or (2) where no further payments are due to the Tutor or the payments are insufficient to cover the refunded amounts, require the Tutor to refund any amounts refunded to students for the Tutor's courses.
