1. Purpose of the Teacher Programme

Pocket Power is a wellness platform offering support across physical health, mental wellbeing, nutrition, personal growth and community.

The Teacher Programme allows approved Teachers to share audio and video content within the Pocket Power app across areas including The Studio, Remedy Rooms and The Kitchen.

The purpose of the Teacher Programme is to give users access to high-quality, supportive, educational and wellbeing-focused content while allowing Teachers to build visibility, grow a following and share their work with the Pocket Power community.

Teachers are not employees, agents, representatives or partners of Pocket Power. Teachers remain independent content creators using the Pocket Power platform to share approved content with users.

2. Teacher Account, Profile and Approval

To become a Teacher within Pocket Power, you must create and maintain a Pocket Power account and complete your Teacher profile.

Your Teacher profile must include accurate, complete and up-to-date information, including any relevant details about your experience, qualifications, professional background, content category and payment information.

You are responsible for ensuring that all profile information remains accurate at all times.

Before you are able to publish content as a Teacher, you must submit your first audio or video content for approval.

During the initial approval period, you can continue to use Pocket Power as an app user, but you will not be able to upload or publish Teacher content until your first submission has been reviewed and approved.

Once your first content submission has been approved, your Teacher profile and approved content can become visible within the app.

Pocket Power reserves the right to reject any Teacher profile, content submission or application that does not meet the standards of the platform.

3. Content Submission and Review

All Teacher content must be submitted through the approved Pocket Power upload process.

Every new piece of content submitted by a Teacher will go through review before it becomes visible within the app.

Pocket Power reviews submitted content within five business days.

Content will not go live until it has been approved.

If content is rejected, the Teacher will be given the opportunity to amend and resubmit the content for further review.

Pocket Power can reject content where it does not meet these Terms, does not meet content standards, raises safety concerns, contains unsuitable material, infringes third-party rights, promotes prohibited material, or is not aligned with the values and purpose of the Pocket Power platform.

Approval of one piece of content does not guarantee approval of future content.

4. Content Areas

Teachers can upload approved audio and video content within the relevant areas of Pocket Power, including:

The Studio

This area is for movement, fitness, exercise, yoga, physical activity and body-based content.

Remedy Rooms

This area is for wellbeing, personal growth, mindset, emotional support, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, education and reflective content.

The Kitchen

This area is for food, nutrition, recipes, cooking, healthy eating, meal inspiration and practical kitchen-based content.

Teachers must ensure that content is uploaded into the correct category and accurately described so that users understand what the content is, who it is suitable for and what they can expect.

Pocket Power can move, rename, categorise or remove content where needed to protect the user experience and maintain platform standards.
