Trade Courses T2T Rules
1. General Purpose
Trade Courses T2T is a closed section for course exchanges between forum users.
The goal of this section is to create a safe and convenient space where users can exchange useful educational materials, share knowledge, and access new courses on mutually beneficial terms.
All trades are handled with the involvement of admins or moderators to reduce the risk of scams, misunderstandings, and unfair exchanges.
2. Access for New Users
This rule applies to new users who have never topped up their balance on our platform.
If you want to trade courses on our platform, especially courses that already exist in our library, you must first meet one of the following conditions:
- top up your balance with the minimum amount of $20;
- purchase a 3-month voucher;
- submit a course that is not currently available in our library.
If you choose to submit a new course instead of topping up your balance or purchasing a voucher, the course must meet the forum requirements:
- the course must not already exist in our library;
- the course must be in MP4 format;
- the course must not contain watermarks;
- the course must not contain broken files;
- lesson files, project files, or source files must be included if they are part of the original course;
- the course must follow the general forum rules.
After the course is reviewed and approved by the administration, you will receive the required trader tag and will be allowed to exchange courses in the T2T section.
3. Topic Format
The topic title should include the full course name, publisher, and author if available.
Example:
Code:
You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.The topic description should include:
Course Details:
A short overview of the course, including its main topics, modules, or learning focus.
Your Offer:
The course you are offering for trade.
Preferred Courses:
The courses or categories you are interested in receiving in return. This field is optional.
Format:
Course format: MP4, archive, project files, subtitles, PDF files, source files, or any other included materials.
4. Course Condition Disclosure
Before starting a trade, the user must honestly mention any known issues or special conditions related to the course.
For example:
- missing lessons;
- broken files;
- watermarks;
- low video quality;
- missing project files;
- missing subtitles;
- incomplete course recording;
- DRM or other restrictions;
- materials that differ from the original course description.
Courses with such issues are not automatically prohibited from trading, as long as both parties are informed in advance and agree to the trade terms.
Important: If a user hides important issues before the trade, the administration may cancel bonuses, limit access to the section, or make another decision depending on the situation.
5. Course Verification Before Trade
Before the final exchange, an admin or moderator may request proof that the course is available.
This may include:
- screenshot of the file structure;
- lesson list;
- total course duration;
- sample file;
- temporary verification link;
- any other information requested by a moderator.
Verification is not meant to make the process harder. It is used to protect both sides.
6. Negotiation Between Users
Trade terms can be discussed in the topic comments or private messages, if allowed by the forum rules.
It is forbidden to post the following publicly:
- direct download links;
- personal information;
- account access details;
- private links without permission;
- confidential information.
Once both parties reach an agreement, they should tag an admin or moderator.
7. Admin Involvement
After both users agree on the trade, an admin or moderator will create a dedicated conversation for the exchange.
Both parties must provide the required links or materials to the administration.
The administration will check that both sides have fulfilled their obligations. After that, the trade will be considered completed.
8. Post-Trade Bonuses
After a successful trade, users may receive additional bonuses from the administration.
For example:
- the option to choose two courses from the forum library;
- other bonuses at the administration’s discretion.
Note: Bonuses are not automatic and are granted only after moderator review.
9. Duplicate or Already Available Courses
Admin bonuses are provided only for courses that bring value to the forum library.
If the course already exists in the library, has already been submitted by another user, is already involved in another active trade, or was previously received by the administration, the bonuses may be reduced, replaced, or cancelled.
To avoid misunderstandings, users may ask the administration in advance whether the course is considered new and eligible for bonuses.
10. Course Publication After Trade
By participating in Trade Courses T2T, the user agrees that the submitted course may be added to the forum library or published by the administration under the forum’s terms.
The administration reserves the right to set a small price, limited access, or another publication format after the trade is completed.
11. Disputes
If it turns out after the trade that the course does not match the description, has hidden issues, or one of the parties violated the agreement, the administration will review the situation individually.
Possible decisions include:
- bonus cancellation;
- course replacement;
- additional material verification;
- user warning;
- temporary or permanent restriction from the T2T section;
- trade cancellation, if possible.
Main rule: all important conditions must be disclosed before the trade begins.
12. Honesty and Transparency
The T2T section works only when users trust each other.
A course does not have to be perfect. However, users must honestly describe what they are offering.
If the course is incomplete, watermarked, has broken files, or has any other limitations, simply mention this in advance. The other party can then decide whether the trade works for them.
13. Responsibility for Materials
Users are responsible for the materials they offer for trade.
It is forbidden to submit malicious files, fake archives, fake courses, or materials that do not match the stated description.
The administration reserves the right to refuse a trade or cancel bonuses if the course raises concerns, violates forum rules, or creates risks for users.
