Teachers may adjust their course pricing at any time unless otherwise restricted by Takbir policies or promotional events.

subscription fees in the future.

As with pricing structure changes, teachers will be notified through the required 3-step communication process before any such updates take effect.

2- In-dashboard notifications

Students are entitled to refunds under Takbir’s Refund Policy. If a refund is granted for your course, you will not receive revenue from that transaction. Any refund adjustments may be deducted from your future payouts.

Students must first initiate a refund request directly with the teacher. As the course creator, you are responsible for handling refund inquiries and processing refunds where applicable. If you decline or disagree with a refund request, the student may escalate the concern to Takbir by opening a formal dispute. In such cases, Takbir will review the issue and mediate a resolution between you and the student.

By teaching on Takbir, you grant Takbir the authority to mediate disputes and agree to abide by Takbir’s final decision in cases where direct resolution is not achieved. You are expected to cooperate fully in this process and honor any refund outcomes that result from our mediation.

If a teacher resides in the United States, they are required to submit a valid tax form (such as a W-9) before receiving any payouts from Takbir.
This is necessary for IRS reporting and legal compliance.

Takbir reserves the right to withhold pending payouts if a teacher exits without fulfilling these obligations, in order to protect student experience and course integrity.

For Teaching Accounts partnered with TRST, any course published on Takbir must remain active for a minimum period of one (1) year from its official launch date.
Teachers may not unpublish, discontinue, or delete their course before completing this initial one-year term.

If a teacher wishes to request an exception or reduced timeline, they may contact the TRST Team directly. Submission of a request does not guarantee approval; the team will review based on course performance, learner impact, and other relevant factors.

All paid learners will retain lifetime access to the course, even if the course is later unpublished or discontinued.

11.3 Course Availability for Enrolled Learners (Independent Teachers)

If an independent Teaching Account chooses to discontinue teaching on Takbir or requests to delete a course, the course will remain accessible to all learners who have previously paid for it.
This ensures learners retain lifetime access to their enrolled courses, as originally promised at the time of purchase.

While the course may be removed from public listings or new enrollments, existing learners will continue to have full access to their purchased content.
