1. Ownership of Intellectual Property

All content made available through the Sites and Services—including but not limited to text, written materials, frameworks, methodologies, curricula, presentations, slide decks, videos, audio recordings, podcasts, transcripts, downloadable resources, graphics, branding, logos, designs, music, sound elements, images, and original concepts—is the intellectual property of Craig Aarons-Martin and/or CCM Education Group, unless otherwise expressly stated.

This license does not permit public display, performance, reproduction, adaptation, derivative works, or commercial use.

Artificial intelligence tools are used as supportive tools only.

5. Ownership & Responsibility for AI-Assisted Content

To the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights, title, and interest in the final, human-directed content made available through the Sites and Services are retained by Craig Aarons-Martin and/or CCM Education Group.

The use of artificial intelligence tools does not grant users any additional rights to copy, extract, reuse, train, scrape, or repurpose content, nor does it diminish the intellectual property protections asserted under these Terms.

7. Memberships & Paid Access

Memberships, subscriptions, or paid access grant access to curated learning experiences, not ownership of intellectual property.

Violation may result in termination of access without refund.

Such tools are used under human supervision and do not replace professional expertise, lived experience, or strategic judgment.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the use of AI-assisted tools does not alter ownership, confidentiality, or licensing terms applicable to client deliverables.

All podcast episodes, audio recordings, video clips, transcripts, show notes, and related materials for Brave Voices in Education are protected intellectual property.
