The agreement, in language you should not need a lawyer to read.

Payment

Payment.

Tuition is US$3,300 for the complete program, invoiced in US dollars.

The first three sessions are not invoiced. The first invoice is issued after the third session; the schedule from there is agreed between us, and where a funding body requires a particular one — including that no payment be made before a specified date — the invoice is issued to match.

There is no deposit, no registration fee, no cancellation fee and no surcharge for paying across the course rather than in one sum.

Invoices are due within fourteen days. If an invoice is more than thirty days overdue and we have not agreed otherwise, sessions pause until it is settled. Sessions missed during a pause are not lost; the program window extends to accommodate them where the calendar allows.

Cancellation

Stopping, and refunds.

• Through session three: nothing has been invoiced, so tell me and we stop. You owe nothing and there is nothing to refund.
• After session three: tuition is payable and non-refundable. By then the curriculum has been rebuilt around your work and a cohort place has been held that someone else could have taken.
• If your circumstances change — a posting, an illness, a new job — talk to me. In practice this means pausing rather than refunding, and I would rather do that than hold you to a schedule that has stopped working.
• If your funder withdraws partway through, further invoicing stops, delivered sessions stand, and we agree a pause or a reduced remainder. You will not be pursued for the balance of a course you are no longer funded for.
• If I cannot deliver — illness, or anything else on my side — sessions are rescheduled. If I cannot complete the program at all, you are refunded pro rata for every session not delivered, without you having to ask.

Completion

Attendance and completion.

Completion requires attendance at seventeen of the twenty main sessions, delivery of all four unit artifacts, and the capstone portfolio review in session nineteen. Missed sessions may be rescheduled within the program window subject to both calendars. Support sessions are optional and count neither toward nor against completion.

More than three unrecoverable absences means the program is recorded as incomplete and no certificate is issued. Tuition is not refunded in that case, because the sessions were made available. I will tell you if you are heading that way in April rather than in June.

Sessions start and end on time. If you are more than fifteen minutes late without notice the session still ends at its scheduled time. If I am late, the time is made up.

Ownership

Who owns what.

Everything you make is yours. The notebooks, the prompt library, the skills you write, the documented workflows, the two tools built in Unit 3 and the intent files behind them, and the completed Playbook: you own them outright, with no licence back to me, no attribution requirement and no restriction on commercial use. Use them for paying client work, give them to colleagues, sell what you build.

Your material stays yours. Source material you bring is used only to teach you, is never reused as a teaching example for anyone else, and is deleted on request. Full detail, including the mutual NDA available at no cost, is on the privacy and confidentiality page.

The curriculum stays mine. The course structure, module guides and teaching materials are licensed to you for your own use and reference, indefinitely. Reselling or re-teaching the course as a commercial offering of your own is the one thing that needs my written agreement first.

Limits

What I do not promise.

I teach methods and I will teach them well. I cannot promise a business outcome, and any provider who does is selling something other than instruction.

• No outcome guarantee. No promise about revenue, hours saved, work won, or any employment result.
• No responsibility for how you use it. Professional judgment about what may be submitted to a third-party AI tool, and about work you put your name to, remains yours. Session 11 is where we do that thinking together; the decision is still yours.
• The tools are not mine. Claude and NotebookLM belong to Anthropic and Google. They change, and features taught in January may work differently by June. Where that happens we adapt in session, but I do not control it and cannot warrant it.
• Liability is limited to the tuition you have paid. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
