Pricing & Promotions Policy

This Promotions Policy was last updated on 18th February 2022.

This Promotions Policy (“Policy”) includes information about methods that American Academy of Mental Health instructors can use to promote their content, including instructor coupons, course referral links, and American Academy of Mental Health’s optional marketing programs. This Policy is incorporated by reference into our Terms of Use and Instructor Terms. Any capitalized terms that aren’t defined in this Policy are defined as specified in the Terms of Use or Instructor Terms.

1. How the Promotional Programs Work

American Academy of Mental Health offers premium instructors the opportunity to participate in Promotional Programs, which you can opt into through the Promotional Agreements page of your instructor settings or by a written agreement (including by email) between you and American Academy of Mental Health for certain programs, as detailed below. The specific programs offered may change from time to time. 

Not all deals or programs will be available in all geographic territories or for all American Academy of Mental Health content. American Academy of Mental Health has sole discretion to determine which content to offer as part of the Promotional Programs and to set or update sale prices. American Academy of Mental Health may remove any of your content from the Promotional Programs at any time and in its sole discretion, with or without notice to you.

The discount amounts referenced below are approximate, as the actual discount may be slightly higher due to rounding and currency conversion. American Academy of Mental Health does not guarantee any minimum level of success in connection with the Promotional Programs.

2. American Academy of Mental Health Deals Program

The American Academy of Mental Health Deals Program helps increase your revenue potential by enabling American Academy of Mental Health to offer your content at a compelling discount as part of targeted promotions, as well as to optimize your list price. The Deals Program allows American Academy of Mental Health to offer your content to students at a discounted price or list price no lower than $9.99 USD (or local equivalent), except in sales to American Academy of Mental Health’s resellers or distributors, where the price may be lower. For clarity, American Academy of Mental Health determines local equivalents of $9.99 USD using economic factors such as purchasing power, rather than employing a direct currency conversion. 

Where a sale to an American Academy of Mental Health reseller or distributor results in a sale price for your content that is lower than permitted by this Policy, American Academy of Mental Health will calculate your revenue share based on a Gross Amount permitted by this Policy.

Deals Program deals may be promoted through the Services, user communications, or third-party platforms, and the duration of the deals may vary.

You can opt out of the Deals Program at any time. However, your content will remain subject to any applicable sales, campaigns, or promotions that are already active at the time you opt out, until those sales, campaigns, or promotions are completed.

3. American Academy of Mental Health Business Program

Premium instructors may also participate in our subscription program (“American Academy of Mental Health Business Program”), subject to the additional terms in this section. The American Academy of Mental Health Business Program consists of American Academy of Mental Health’s subscription-based content collections available to individual consumers and business customers, including private, public, non-profit, and government organizations (“Subscription Customers”), featuring a select group of American Academy of Mental Health’s top content for professional and personal development skills. 

By opting into the American Academy of Mental Health Business Program, you agree to make all of your content eligible for inclusion in American Academy of Mental Health’s subscription-based content collections. We may elect whether to select your content for inclusion in any collection, including any add-on, variation, or subset of that collection, and may change the selection from time to time at our sole discretion.

Because the collections are subscription-based, we may select sale prices and offer free trials at our discretion. While your content is included in a collection, you may not unpublish that content or make it private. 

If you’ve agreed to provide any Assessment Questions (as defined below), you are also subject to the additional terms in Section 4 (Assessments).

Instructors who have previously opted into the “American Academy of Mental Health Subscription Program” are subject to the terms of this section.  

3.1 Revenue Share

By participating in the American Academy of Mental Health Business Program, you agree that for each collection, your revenue share will be calculated as follows:

1. Each month, American Academy of Mental Health will calculate the total monthly subscription fees paid to American Academy of Mental Health on behalf of all current Subscription Customers of such collection minus any applicable Transaction Taxes, foreign exchange fees, and third-party fees, such as reseller, promotion, distribution, or payment processing fees.
2. Twenty-five percent (20%) of this amount will be allocated to instructors participating in such collection (“Instructor Revenue Pool“) as further described below.
3. Each month, American Academy of Mental Health will calculate the total minutes of content (including course videos, quizzes, practice tests, and coding exercises) in such collection consumed by all current Subscription Customers through their subscription to such collection (“Total Minutes Consumed“). For clarity, the Total Minutes Consumed does not include any consumption by access through a free trial.
4. Each month, American Academy of Mental Health will also calculate how many of the Total Minutes Consumed are attributable to each of your items of content that was included in such collection that month (“Your Content Minutes“).
5. To calculate your revenue share each month, American Academy of Mental Health will divide the Instructor Revenue Pool by the Total Minutes Consumed, then multiply that per-minute amount by Your Content Minutes.

As the American Academy of Mental Health makes additional types of content (such as assessments and labs) available through the collections, we may update subsection (3) above to specify additional types of content that will be included in the calculations to determine the Total Minutes Consumed and Your Content Minutes.

3.2 Exclusivity

Except as otherwise provided for Assessment Questions below, once your content is included in a collection, you agree that you will not begin to offer any on-demand content, such as pre-recorded courses, that directly compete with or injure the sales of that content on any site or platform other than your own. For clarity, this doesn’t include literary works or in-person instructional trainings. If you choose to terminate your participation in the American Academy of Mental Health Business Program, you agree that this exclusivity provision will remain in place until we remove your content from all collections.

3.3 Termination

You can choose to terminate your participation in the American Academy of Mental Health Business Program at any time by emailing support@American Academy of Mental Health.com. American Academy of Mental Health will remove your content from the collections within 12 months of termination and will continue to pay you revenue share based on the then-current rates until your content is removed from the relevant collection. 

Once your content is removed for any reason from a collection, Subscription Customers will no longer be able to enroll in your content and you will no longer earn revenue share from that collection. However, any individual end user who previously enrolled in your content will continue to be able to access that content for as long as they remain subscribed to the relevant collection.

4. Assessments

American Academy of Mental Health’s assessments (“Assessments”) consist of question and answer pairs with explanations (each, an “Assessment Question”) to measure proficiency and learning across certain topics, skills, domains, or occupations. Assessments are made available by American Academy of Mental Health as a standalone content type, separate from courses. For clarity, practice tests, quizzes, coding exercises, and labs are not considered Assessments or Assessment Questions. 

By providing an Assessment Question, as mutually agreed between us in writing (including by email), you agree to the terms in this section.

We may elect whether to select your Assessment Question for inclusion on American Academy of Mental Health.com or in the American Academy of Mental Health Business Program, and may change that selection from time to time and at our sole discretion. If your Assessment Question is included in the American Academy of Mental Health Business Program, then you will be subject to the terms relevant to that program above. 

You agree that your Assessment Questions will comply with all criteria as may be agreed in writing (including by email) by you and American Academy of Mental Health, such as the topic, format, domain, difficulty level, and quantity.

By providing your Assessment Question, you grant the American Academy of Mental Health an exclusive license to use, copy, reproduce, distribute, display, publish, and prepare derivative works of your Assessment Question. You agree that you will not make your Assessment Question available to others (including through your own site or platform) or license or permit any third party to do so.

You may choose to terminate your license of an Assessment Question at any time by emailing support@aacademyofmh.com. American Academy of Mental Health will remove your Assessment Question from the Services within 12 months of termination and will continue to pay you any relevant revenue share based on the then-current rates until your Assessment Question is removed from the relevant portion of the Services.  

5. Modifications

We may update this Policy from time to time to clarify our practices or to reflect new or different practices. If we make any material change, we will notify you using prominent means such as by email notice sent to the email address specified in your account or by posting a notice through our Services. Modifications will become effective on the day they are posted unless stated otherwise.
