2.4.1 Under our Instructor Terms, when instructors publish content on Best Farming Tips, they grant Best Farming Tips a license to offer a license to the content to students. This means that we have the right to sublicense the content to enrolled students. As a student, when you enroll in a course or other content, whether it’s free or paid content, you are getting a license from Best Farming Tips to view the content via the Best Farming Tips platform and Services, and Best Farming Tips is the licensor of record. Content is licensed, and not sold, to you.

This lifetime access license does not apply to enrollments via Subscription Plans or to add-on features and services associated with the course or other content you enroll in. For example, instructors may decide at any time to no longer provide teaching assistance or Q&A services in association with the content. To be clear, the lifetime access is to the course content but not to the instructor.
