By submitting materials, you grant Totopnine a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, edit, format, display, reproduce, publish, promote and distribute those materials for the purpose of operating and promoting Totopnine.

This may include use on:

• course listing pages;
• category pages;
• coach profiles;
• email updates;
• social media;

This license does not transfer ownership of your course content to Totopnine.

10. Editing and formatting

Totopnine may edit, shorten, format or rewrite submitted descriptions to make listings clearer, more consistent or easier for users to understand.

We may also add labels, categories, summaries, disclaimers or notes.

We will not intentionally misrepresent your course, but we are not required to publish your exact submitted wording.

11. Third-party course delivery

Unless clearly agreed otherwise, you remain responsible for:

• course delivery;
• student access;
• customer support;
• billing;
• refunds;
• course updates;
• technical issues;
• claims made on your course page;
• compliance with your own terms and policies;
• taxes and legal obligations related to your sales.

If users purchase your course through your own website or a third-party platform, that relationship is between you and the user.

12. Commercial terms

Course publication may be free, paid, affiliate-based, referral-based, sponsored or based on another commercial arrangement.

Possible commercial models may include:

• free listing;
• affiliate commission;
• referral fee;
• paid placement;
• sponsored listing;
• revenue share;
• fixed listing fee;
• custom partnership.

Any specific commercial terms must be agreed separately.

Submitting a course does not create a partnership, employment relationship, agency relationship, joint venture or exclusive arrangement unless we agree in writing.

13. Affiliate and referral links

Totopnine may use affiliate or referral links for submitted courses.

If a user clicks a link and later purchases a course, signs up or takes another action, Totopnine may receive a commission or referral fee.

We may disclose affiliate or commercial relationships on the website where appropriate.

14. Sponsored and paid placements

If a listing, article, banner or placement is sponsored or paid, we may identify it as sponsored, promoted, partner content or similar wording.

Paid placement does not guarantee a positive review, ranking, recommendation or permanent publication.

Totopnine may remove or change sponsored placements if they create legal, reputational, editorial or user-trust risk.

15. Course removal

We may remove or suspend a course listing at any time, including if:

• the information appears inaccurate or misleading;
• the course is no longer available;
• links are broken;
• users report serious problems;
• the course violates these terms;
• the provider makes unsupported claims;
• the course creates legal or reputational risk;
• the course no longer fits Totopnine;
• the provider requests removal;
• commercial terms end or are not followed.

We may also remove a listing without cause.

16. Updates to course information

Totopnine may reject or remove such submissions.

18. Poker-related content

Poker-related courses must be educational in nature.

Totopnine is not a gambling operator, casino, betting site or poker room.

Poker course listings must not present education as a guarantee of winnings or financial results.

Coaches and providers are responsible for ensuring that their courses, claims, advertising and services comply with applicable laws and platform rules.

• commercial terms;
• affiliate links;
• listing updates;

Totopnine may list similar courses, competing coaches, competing schools or alternative resources.

22. No employment or agency relationship

Submitting a course does not make you an employee, contractor, agent, representative, partner or franchisee of Totopnine.

You are responsible for your own business, taxes, legal obligations, users, students and course delivery.

23. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Totopnine and its owners, operators, employees, contractors, partners and affiliates from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses arising from:

24. Changes to these terms

We may update these Course Submission Terms from time to time.
