If you do not agree with these TOU, you may not view or access the Content (defined below).

As used in these TOU, the term “Releasees” is defined to include Courtney Bullard d/b/a Institutional Compliance Solutions and ICS, its affiliated companies, owners, past and present employees, contractors, agents, coaches, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively “the Company“, “we” or “us”) and any Company volunteers.

  1. Intellectual Property Rights

    1. Ownership of the Content

      The words, videos, voice and sound recordings, training materials, design, layout, graphics, photos, images, information, materials, documents, data, databases and all other information and intellectual property related to Title IX training, as well as the look and feel of all of the foregoing (“the Content“) is property of the Company and/or our affiliates or licensors, unless otherwise noted, and it is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

    2. The Company’s Limited License to You:

      If you view or access any of the Content, you will be considered our Licensee. For the avoidance of doubt, you are granted a revocable, non-transferable license for personal, non-commercial use only, limited to you only.

      This means you may view the Content only to the extent necessary to comply with Title IX.

      You may not otherwise republish, reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, display, disclose, distribute to friends, family, or any other third party, or otherwise use any of the Content for commercial purposes or in any way that earns you or any third party money. By accessing the Content you in no way assume any ownership rights of the Content – it is still Company property. Any unauthorized use of any materials found in the Content shall constitute infringement.

      You must receive our written permission before using any of the Content for your own commercial use or before sharing with others.

      The trademarks and logos displayed on the Content are trademarks belonging to the Company, unless otherwise indicated. Any use including framing, metatags or other text utilizing these trademarks, or other trademarks displayed, is strictly prohibited without our written permission.

    3. Unauthorized Use

      Your use of any materials found in the Content other than that expressly authorized in this agreement, or by a separate written assignment, is not permitted (“Unauthorized Use”). You agree to pay liquidated damages of $5,000, in addition to any legal or equitable remedies the Company may be entitled to pursue. This is not a penalty but an agreed liquidated damages charge for the Unauthorized Use.

      You agree that any violation or threatened violation of the Intellectual Property Rights terms in this Agreement would cause irreparable injury to us that may not be adequately compensated by damages, entitling us to obtain injunctive relief, without bond, in addition to all legal remedies.

      If you wish to use any of the Content, or any other intellectual property or property belonging to us, you should request permission in writing BEFORE you use the Content by completing the “Contact” form on the Company’s website.

      If you are granted permission by the Company, you agree to use the specific Content that the Company allows and only in the ways for which the Company has given you its written permission. If you choose to use the Content in ways that the Company does not specifically give you written permission, you agree now that you will be treated as if you had copied, duplicated and/or stolen such Content from us, and you consent to immediately stop using such Content and to take whatever actions as we may request and by the methods and in the time frame that we prescribe to protect our intellectual property and ownership rights in the Content.
