Legal Term
Online Course Creator Partnership Agreement
Legal Definition
A contract that formalizes the business relationship between a content creator (who produces the online course) and a partner (who typically provides marketing, technology, or operational support). It defines who owns the course content, how revenue is split, who handles what tasks, and what happens if the partnership ends.
In Plain English
It's the rulebook for splitting cash and credit when you team up to sell an online course. One person makes the content, the other makes the sales—this paper says who gets what.
