Intellectual Property Infringement

The Company respects the copyright, trademark, and all other intellectual property rights of others. The Company has the right, but has no obligation, to remove content and accounts containing materials that it deems, in its sole discretion, to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene, or otherwise objectionable or violates any party’s intellectual property or these Terms of Use.

Software Platform Information Visibility

For some supplementary resources in the program, we use the Notion.so software platform. Use of these resources is optional and the full training and community can be accessed without it. Being added to have access to the additional resources in Notion means that your name and email address may be visible to other participants of the program. Notion does not provide any workaround to avoid this, it is how the Notion platform works. If you do not want this information to be accessible, do not accept the invitation to join the Notion workspace. The entire core training and community activity can be accessed without it.
