Engagement
Instructors are engaged as independent contractors under a statement of work that defines the courses, deliverables, review responsibilities and fees. Nothing in this agreement creates employment, partnership or agency.
Academic responsibilities
- Teach to the published Curriculum Standards and the stated learning outcomes.
- Never issue trade signals, price predictions or personalised financial advice in any academy surface.
- Complete the six-stage review pipeline before any lesson is published.
- Disclose any commercial relationship with a broker, prop firm, tool vendor or fund.
- Hold office hours and respond to student questions within agreed service levels.
Intellectual property
- Material created for the academy under a statement of work is a work made for hire owned by The360Trader.
- Pre-existing instructor material is licensed to the academy, worldwide and royalty-free, for the term plus three years of archival access for enrolled students.
- Instructors retain the right to be credited as author on their lessons and certificates of authorship.
- You warrant that all material you supply is original or properly licensed, including charts, images and data.
Fees and payment
- Production fees are milestone-based: outline accepted, script approved, recording delivered, published.
- Ongoing teaching fees are paid monthly in arrears within 15 days of invoice.
- Revenue-share arrangements, where used, are stated in the statement of work and reported quarterly.
Confidentiality, conduct and termination
- Student data seen while teaching is confidential and may only be used to support that student.
- The Code of Conduct applies to instructors with a higher standard of care than students.
- Either party may terminate with 30 days' notice; the academy may terminate immediately for integrity, safety or compliance breaches.
- Published material remains available to enrolled students after termination.
