3.2 Relationships to Other Users
A training provider interacts with students exclusively through the LAPTs platform. Therefore, any personal information about a student accessible to an instructor through LAPT should be used solely for the intended purposes. The instructor is fully responsible for any inappropriate use of a student's personal information.
3.3 Anti-Piracy Efforts
The company and its anti-piracy partners primarily protect an instructor's account and courses against unauthorized access. Enforcement required to safeguard the instructor's intellectual property will be carried out by the company and its specified partners.

Instructors are provided with a "base price" to select for their courses.
4.2 Applicable Taxes
The company collects and remits taxes to relevant authorities or transaction costs when a student purchases an instructor's products and services.
5. Earnings
5.1 Payment Division
After a student makes a course purchase, the "gross amount" undergoes deductions before the tutor's net pay, the "net amount," is awarded to the instructor. Deductions include any applicable transaction taxes.
- An instructor account receives a 50% post-deductions share of the net pay for learners registered through LAPT's advertising and promotion.
- An instructor account receives a 70% to 90% post-deductions share of the net pay for learners registered by a training provider through student registration vouchers.
Any changes to this payment rate will be communicated to the instructor via email or notice. Instructors with promotional programs accounts may have a different payment rate.
Tutor payments are made in GBP or U.S. Dollars. The company covers processing costs, while the instructor is responsible for currency conversion fees needed in wiring.
5.2 Receiving Payments
Instructors receive payments through PayPal accounts, requiring tax details and a valid email account. The company reserves the right to deny payment if the instructor fails to provide the required information.
Instructors are responsible for any taxes on their income, with payments issued within a maximum period of 45 days from the end of the month the company receives remittances. In cases of fraud or law violation, LAPT has the right to deny payments.
Undelivered payments will be forwarded to the instructor's government according to the company's legal obligation.
5.3 Refunds
Students have the right to refunds, and no payment is given to an instructor if a client is refunded.

7. Sanctions
An instructor confirms that they are not subject to any international export and sanction restrictions, whether as an individual or representing an organization. In the event of being subject to these international restrictions while working with LAPT, the instructor must notify the company within 24 hours.
8. Account Removal
Training Providers can request account removal by sending an email to the web admin at info@lapt.org. When an instructor deletes an active account, submitted content remains accessible to students using the account before deletion. Additionally, any outstanding payments will be processed before the account is deleted. Difficulties encountered during the account deletion process can be addressed through the company's chat support.
Accounts are deactivated but not fully removed as courses and learner records are associated with the training provider's name.
9. Various Lawful Terms
9.1 Reviewing
LAPT periodically reviews its terms of service. Instructors receive notifications of updates via the provided email or notices on the platform. Working with the company after a revision implies agreement with the new terms.
