of Regulation S-X.
General
4. We note the revised disclosure in response to our prior comment 3
regarding whether
instructors agree to provide course content for a minimum term. Expand
the first
paragraph on page 62 to clarify whether the consumer learner can
access course content
that an instructor later unpublishes if the consumer subscribes to a
consumer subscription
offering rather than purchasing a course enrollment. In this regard,
we note the disclosure
on page 17 that once an instructor unpublishes content or leaves the
Udemy platform
altogether, you have a right to continue offering such content to new
learners on the
consumer marketplace for 60 days afterwards and in your subscription
offerings for 12
months afterward. In addition, expand the disclosure on page 62 to
address the terms that
apply to Udemy Business customers when an instructor unpublishes a
course.
5. We note your response to our prior comment 3 regarding whether and how
different
courses and/or instructors are priced differently and reissue the
comment. Please clarify
whether and/or how different courses and/or instructors are priced
differently.
6. We note your revised disclosure in response to our prior comment 4.
Discuss the terms of
the "policies and procedures intended to encourage respectful
bahavior," as well as the
consequences of any non-compliance with such policies and procedures
(including, for
example, the consequences and remediative actions related to
intellectual property
infringement). In addition, describe the terms of your Terms of Use,
Instructor Terms, and
Trust & Safety policies, the mechanisms and standards you use to
review the technical
quality and appropriateness of courses, and whether these mechanisms
detect infringement
of the intellectual property rights of others. Disclose how you
determine whether and
which actions to take when policy violations occur. To the extent your
policies do not
address all of these issues, please say so and discuss related risks
to the company and
investors.
