Relationship of the Parties; Required Disclaimer
Advisor agrees that Instant IP may use Advisor’s feedback, suggestions, Whatsapp comments, Slack profile avatar, and ideas in any way, including in future modifications of materials, other products or services, advertising, social media, and marketing. Advisor grants Instant IP a perpetual, worldwide, fully transferable, sub-licensable, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty-free license to use such feedback in any form and for any purpose.
Note: Feedback curated for future communications or marketing reflects general ideas that Instant IP may use. It is the responsibility of the Advisor to clearly identify any structured models or proprietary content developed independently and shared for the benefit of others. Content properly marked as such will remain restricted or, if shared with permission, will be properly attributed.
Advisor grants Instant IP and those working on their behalf (e.g., “Promoter” such as Igniting Souls) the non-exclusive right to use Advisor’s name, likeness, business, etc. in promotional materials, marketing campaigns, social media posts, newsletters, and any related content designed to promote my IP business and services.
The Promoter may use, reproduce, distribute, and publicly display the Advisor’s name and likeness for these promotional purposes. This use must be professional in nature and aligned with the Advisor’s expressed brand and reputation. Instant IP may not use the Advisor’s identity in any unfavorable, misleading, or unrelated context without prior written permission from the Advisor.
Nothing herein shall be construed as an employment or agency relationship between the parties. Advisor will in no way be entitled to act on behalf of or otherwise bind Instant IP to any obligation or liability whatsoever. These parties at all times are independent contracting parties.
Program Independence
This Agreement does not restrict the Advisor from continuing to operate their own independent Advisoring programs, businesses, keynotes, workshops, or services in parallel with their work as an Instant IP Certified Advisor. The Advisor may offer original content under their own name or brand, provided that Instant IP materials are not repackaged, rebranded, sublicensed, or presented as part of a separate certification, licensing, or credentialing program. Use of Instant IP content must remain distinct and within the scope of the certified role.
Termination
Instant IP may terminate training, any service, license, or any privilege (e.g., Instant IP Certified Advisor Directory listing) without liability or refund of any fees to Advisor as follows:
- Instant IP may terminate due to a material breach of any provision of this Agreement.

Additionally, Advisor is not to engage companies that are selling or promoting goods or services, which are illegal, or have, in Instant IP’s sole discretion, immoral objectives or motives.
- In the event Advisor is publicly accused of: (a) an act of moral turpitude; (b) violation of any law; (c) any other conduct which subjects or could subject Instant IP to public ridicule, contempt, scorn, hatred or censure; or (d) conduct that could, in Instant IP’s sole discretion, materially diminish potential sales of Instant IP’s services or materials, then Instant IP shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.
Mutual Notice Clause:
Either party may terminate this Agreement without cause by providing the other party with no less than thirty (30) days’ written notice.

This provision does not apply in cases involving breach or misconduct as otherwise noted above.
