3. Intellectual Property.

A. Copyright. United States copyright laws protect all materials created by Owner and/or Company on the Site and within the Program as original works. All materials belong to Owner and/or Company,  including those with the absence of a registered copyright symbol. This Program and the related content shall be considered intellectual property owned by Company. Other examples of intellectual property owned by Company and within Company’s products include, but are not limited to: trademarks, service marks, layout, logos, business names, course/program/module names, design, text, written copy, certain images, podcast recordings, lead magnets, workbooks, videos, audio files, and all of our paid products (collectively referred to as “Intellectual Property”).

B. Non-Exclusive License. If Company provides Intellectual Property on the Site and/or within the Program that Client can download, a revocable, non-exclusive license is granted for Client to download copies of the materials for personal, non-commercial transitory viewing only. Company grants only a limited, personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable license to Customer to use the Intellectual Property for Customer’s personal and internal business use. 

Nothing in this Agreement shall transfer ownership of or rights to any Intellectual Property of the Company to the Client, nor grant any right or license other than those stated in this Agreement. Client acknowledges that his/her purchase of this Program is for their single individual use. Client shall not copy, reproduce, translate, transmit, modify, edit, create derivative works from, alter, sell, or share with others any products or parts of the Program without prior written consent or unless provided otherwise. 

This is the grant of a license, not a transfer of title, and under this license Client shall not:             

      1. modify or copy the Intellectual Property;
      2. use the Intellectual Property for any commercial purpose, or for any public display (commercial or non-commercial);
      3. share or transfer the Intellectual Property to another person or “mirror” the materials on any other server.

If Client is also a business owner or professional in a similar industry, Client shall not misappropriate any of Company’s Intellectual Property and proprietary information in the following manner:

      • Teaching Client’s clients/customers/audience any of the information, methods, solutions, or formulae owned by Company and passing it off as Client’s own;
      • Copying any of Company’s Product content and/or material for Client’s commercial use;
      • Copying, publishing, transmitting, transferring, selling, creating derivative works from, reproducing, or in any way exploiting any of the Intellectual Property owned by Company in either whole or part without prior written consent.

C. Infringement of Intellectual Property This license shall automatically and immediately terminate if Client violates any of the restrictions regarding Company’s Intellectual Property. Upon Company’s suspicion that Client violates any of the above Intellectual Property restrictions, Client’s access may be terminated by Company at any time. 

Suspicion includes, but is not limited to: 

      • identification of Client content that is based off of Company’s proprietary framework;
      • identification of Client content that is almost identical and/or confusingly similar to Company’s content; 
      • notice from third-party of confusingly similar content between Client and Company.

Upon terminating Client’s license, Client must destroy any downloaded materials in Client’s possession whether in electronic or printed format.

In the event that Company receives information that Client has misappropriated or used any of the Intellectual Property belonging to Company, Company reserves the right to:

      • Immediately remove Client’s access to the Program;
      • Investigate Client’s usage of the Intellectual Property, including purchasing access to Client’s content (ie. courses, programs, etc);
      • Block Client from accessing future programs or content belonging to Company;
      • Recover all funds expended on investigating Client’s infringement of Company’s Intellectual Property, including (and especially) legal fees, administrative costs for Company to resolve the matter, and fees spent to access Client’s material to investigate any infringement,

If Company discovers that you have illegally misappropriated or used any of the intellectual property you were granted access to, you will be blocked from any future programs and will seek any extent of legal remedies and you will be required to cover all legal fees necessary to enforce these rights.
