If you successfully pass the Teacher training, you will be certified to teach the theory and practice of Intuitive Intelligence® based on the curriculum program provided to you, within the context of your own business and talents.

This agreement sets out important information about the Certified Intuition Teacher Program (“Acarya”). It is very important that you read this document carefully before you agree to it.  By accepting the terms of this agreement (and, if you successfully complete the training, by choosing to accept Certified Intuition Teacher qualification), you are entering into a legally binding contract with the Institute, so please consider carefully whether this Agreement is right for you and contact us before you tick the box if you have any concerns.

We encourage you to negotiate any clause of this agreement that feels unfair to you.

It is our aim to maintain a collaborative environment which is supportive, participative and conducive to the success of all our Graduates. We welcome constructive feedback as an opportunity to review and improve our practices. Please feel free to contact Ricci-Jane at principal@instituteforintuitiveintelligence.com to discuss any issues that arise.

Schedule D

CERTIFIED INTUITION TEACHER MEDIA AND IP GUIDELINES

This guide provides an outline of how to use the Institute for Intuitive Intelligence branding and Intellectual Property alongside your personal business branding and content creation, without breaching copyright laws or infringing upon our intellectual property rights, as a Certified Intuition Teacher.

FAQ’s

AS A CERTIFIED INTUITION TEACHER, HOW DO I IDENTIFY THE TRAINING I HAVE QUALIFIED IN, AND WHEN AM I REQUIRED TO IDENTIFY IT?

FOR CERTIFIED TEACHERS - When you are promoting or sharing the theory and praxis of the training, you are required to identify the source material as developed by the Institute for Intuitive Intelligence® and yourself as a Certified Intuition Teacher. This applies if you are using 10% or more of the Teacher Certification curriculum in your program. We recommend that you do this at the beginning of your training and in your shared teaching resources provided to your students.

During the teaching of your programs and workshops, you are not required to quote Ricci-Jane or reference the Institute for Intuitive Intelligence® if the program is more than 10% of the curriculum of the Teacher Certification. You are simply required to ensure students know the origin of the material in their decision to enrol, and at the beginning of the program.

FOR CERTIFIED TEACHERS - If you are sharing the practices or theory for promotional purposes including lead magnets, webinars, online meditations, interviews, articles, blogs, social media posts of all kinds, and anything else of this nature, then you must identify the Institute for Intuitive Intelligence® as the originator of the work.

The theory and praxis of Intuitive Intelligence® that you are trained in as a Certified Teacher is original content, even when we reference others’ work. That is because we are bringing together existing knowledge in a new way. For example, teaching intuition development through the Hermetic Laws exemplifies the original use of existing material. Some students have previously tried to claim that, as both intuition and Hermetic Laws existed prior to the Institute’s training, there is no need to identify Ricci-Jane Adams or the Institute as the originator of this work.

Originality in research can be defined in any of the following ways:

• Setting down a major piece of new information in writing for the first time.
• Continuing a previously original piece of work.
• Providing a single original technique, observation or result in an otherwise unoriginal but competent piece of research.
• Showing originality in testing somebody else’s idea/theory.
• Carrying out empirical work that hasn’t been done before.
• Making a synthesis of things that haven’t been put together before.
• Using already known material but with a new interpretation.
• Trying out something in this country that has previously been done only elsewhere.
• Taking a particular technique and applying it in a new area.
• Bringing new evidence to bear on an old issue.
• Being cross-disciplinary and using different methodologies.
• Looking at areas not previously explored in a particular discipline.
• Adding to knowledge in a way that has not be done before.

(Phillips and Pugh 2010).

On this basis, the originality of the theory and praxis is established, and deidentified use of the individual component parts of the training would be a breach of copyright.

We encourage you to use the logos developed specifically for you as a Certified Teacher in the promotion of your training. 

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I USED THE INTUITIVE INTELLIGENCE® IP WITHOUT IDENTIFYING IT?

You would technically be stealing our work, and we would have the right to take steps to stop you. This may include taking legal action, which we prefer to avoid, but it may be necessary if the situation calls for it. Successful completion of the Intuitive Intelligence®Teaching Certification and/or Advanced Trainer (Embodiment), as well as maintaining your annual recertification by holding current membership with the Institute, and completing any necessary professional development, grants you this permission.

CAN I USE THE INSTITUTE FOR INTUITIVE INTELLIGENCE® LOGOS IN MY MARKETING?

A logo or trademark is any photograph, word or symbol used to identify a brand, service or product. To avoid confusion, we have designed logos for use on your website, marketing materials, business cards and printed literature. You gain access to the logos upon becoming a Certified Intuitive Intelligence® Teacher. We strongly recommend using these logos.

I WANT TO INCORPORATE SOME OF THE INTUITIVE INTELLIGENCE® CONCEPTS IN MY OWN WORK WITHOUT IDENTIFYING THEIR SOURCE. IS THAT OK?

No. The materials are protected by copyright. You cannot repurpose any of the program materials and pass them off as your own, or rewrite the materials and imply they are unique to you.

 Intuitive Intelligence® is a protected trademark. Even if you only copied part of the material created by the Institute, you would still be in breach of our IP rights.

I LIKE THE INTUITIVE INTELLIGENCE® TEACHER CURRICULUM, BUT I THINK I CAN ADAPT IT OR INCORPORATE IT INTO MY OWN WORK AND MAKE SOMETHING BETTER. IS THAT OK?

The principles of Intuitive Intelligence® should not be reconfigured in a way that could lead the public to believe that the concepts and ideas that constitute Intuitive Intelligence® brand are the creation or work of anyone other than the Institute for Intuitive Intelligence®.

Any changes to the practices and processes that would cause Intuitive Intelligence® theory and praxis to be misconstrued as anything other than the creation of the Institute for Intuitive Intelligence® must be avoided.

Whilst you are welcome to utilise Intuitive Intelligence® and Intuitive Intelligence® Embodiment alongside your other modalities and practices and combine them in your own programs, you are not entitled to de-identify the work of  Intuitive intelligence®.

CAN I USE MY INTUITIVE INTELLIGENCE® TEACHER CERTIFICATION MATERIALS TO TEACH OTHERS?

Yes. The training you undertake equips you with the skills needed to teach others Intuitive Intelligence® theory and praxis (as shared in the Certification). You understand that the Certification and Training is provided for your professional and personal development, and professional service through group programs and workshops. 

You undertake not to develop a training or practical educational program or activity on your own or for any other organisation that would certify students to teach Intuitive Intelligence®.

I AM PUTTING TOGETHER A PRESENTATION AND/OR SOME EDUCATIONAL HANDOUTS. CAN I TALK ABOUT INTUITIVE INTELLIGENCE®?

Yes, but you must credit the Institute for Intuitive Intelligence®. 

I AM WRITING A BOOK AND PLAN TO INCLUDE SOME OF WHAT I LEARNED THROUGH INTUITIVE INTELLIGENCE® TRAINING. IS THAT OK?

If you are writing a book you cannot include the work of someone else without the owner’s permission. You must contact us to seek written permission if you would like to reference any Intuitive Intelligence® copyrighted material. This includes any reference to the Intuitive Intelligence® tools or techniques, including words, photographs and diagrams referencing Intuitive Intelligence®.

Please also make sure you are not using any misleading cover images or information which may cause someone to buy a book in the belief that it is linked to, or endorsed by, the Institute for Intuitive Intelligence®. 

I MADE A RECORDING DURING THE CERTIFIED INTUITION TEACHER CERTIFICATION. CAN I POST IT ON MY WEBSITE OR ON SOCIAL MEDIA?

No. You may not film or record any material during training sessions/events without our full consent. If we do give you permission to make a recording, this permission is solely for the purpose of your own learning, and the recording should not be published. You must not share any recording made during a live training session with anyone outside the program or publish that material externally, anywhere, including on social media.

CAN I CREATE AUDIO AND VIDEO RECORDINGS FOR MY TRAININGS, INCLUDING MEDITATION, TAPPING VISUALISATIONS AND EMBODIMENT SCRIPTS?

Yes, you can create your own audio recordings for your clients and students. However, these recordings must reference Intuitive Intelligence® and credit the Institute. Keep in mind, you will be provided with some audio recordings as part of your training, which you can use to improve your practice. You can also provide clients and students with links to original recordings, where provided.

I HAVE QUALIFIED AND HAVE RECEIVED MY CERTIFICATE. CAN I USE THE TITLE I HAVE GAINED?

Yes, you are authorised to use the title on your certificate of Certified Intuition Teacher when you advertise yourself or your business, as long as you continue with your Certified Membership - please see below.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T CONTINUE WITH CERTIFIED MEMBERSHIP?

We only allow Graduates who commit to ongoing, continuous professional development as part of the Certified Membership to use the Intuitive Intelligence® brand and IP. 

THE MAIN WAYS YOU CAN USE INTUITIVE INTELLIGENCE® TEACHER IP AND BRAND ASSETS ARE:

• Personal use to improve your practice or professional development
• Use in your workshops and training for your students.

USEFUL INFORMATION

It is not necessary to use the registered trademark symbol ® ( Intuitive Intelligence®) although it is considered good etiquette. You could also distinguish our trademarks by italicising or CAPITALISING them instead of using the symbol. However, do not assume you can use trademarked or copyrighted materials.

If you are unsure, we can help. If you contact: hello@instituteforintuitiveintelligence.com

with an outline of your plan, we can help you clarify what you can and cannot do.

There are processes in place for us to identify if there are students/graduates

who are not working within the terms and conditions of their program and these

guidelines. If anything is identified that could be considered a breach, we will work with you to ensure you understand what the breach is and why it was identified. However, it will be your responsibility to ensure that the breach is rectified.

WHY CAN’T I USE INSTITUTE FOR INTUITIVE… OR INTUITIVE INTELLIGENCE®IN MY BUSINESS/SOCIAL MEDIA NAMES?

It could lead clients to misunderstand who is providing the service, possibly thinking it is being provided by our organisation. This applies in all languages and countries. In addition, we discourage the use of any variation of Intuitive Intelligence® or ‘Institute for  Intuitive…’ in your business name, email address, domain name, or social media, that could be construed as similar to Institute for Intuitive Intelligence®. Here are some examples to illustrate:

You could use	You should not use ❌

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND BRAND ASSETS- THE LEGAL STUFF

WHAT DO THE TERMS MEAN?

To best explain intellectual property and brand assets we have expanded on the common terms used in this document below.

Intellectual Property (IP) Rights

IP rights are a body of legal rights that protect someone’s patents, trademarks, copyright, designs, trade secrets and any other originally created materials.

The main things to consider when using  Certified Intuition Teacher IP:

• Ensure you do not use  Intuitive Intelligence® material or branding in a manner that suggests you are an affiliate, or portray  Intuitive Intelligence® IP as your own. This means that if you use any  Intuitive Intelligence® materials and omit the Institute’s name and/or include your name, it will be considered as an inappropriate use of Intuitive Intelligence® IP. This includes anything from programs to presentations, or a social media post quoting some of  Intuitive Intelligence® IP. It is very easy to navigate through this, simply by giving credit to the Institute for  Intuitive Intelligence®.

If you are quoting Ricci-Jane Adams or Angelique Adams directly from the training, then please also include the Institute for  Intuitive Intelligence®.

• Ensure you are not using Intuitive Intelligence® Training materials to create your own version of a resource. Anything created by you should be original and should not be based on an Intuitive Intelligence® Training resource that you have adapted unless you are using a very small amount of the original material (less than 10% of your material should be from the  Intuitive Intelligence® Training resource). Please see the ‘Fair Use’ section of this document.

Trademark

If a person ‘trademarks’ something, it means that they own the rights to how and where that trademark can be used.  Intuitive Intelligence® is our registered Trademark.

This means there are restrictions over where and how this trademark can be used.

This document largely sets out how and where our trademark can be used e.g., in social media, in accordance with existing IP rights.

Passing Off

Passing off is a legally defined term. It can apply:

(i) where someone deliberately or unintentionally promotes goods or services (whether or not a fee is involved) belonging to someone else as their own, or:

(ii) where someone deliberately or unintentionally offers goods or services (whether or not a fee is involved) which could mislead someone to believe they have been produced by someone else they are familiar with. This means that if you use any Intuitive Intelligence® Training materials and omit Ricci-Jane Adams’s name and/or include your own name, or you offer something that appears to be from Intuitive Intelligence® Training, this is considered as ‘passing off’.

Copyright

This is a legal right, control and protection given to someone for their originally produced work. In this context,  Intuitive Intelligence® Training is copyrighted and therefore, incorrectly using the Institute’s work (by not giving credit to Ricci-Jane Adams or by copying her work) can result in copyright infringement

Brand Assets

Brand assets are consistent signals that make it easier for consumers to recognise and identify a business. The following are examples of brand assets (this is not an exhaustive list):

•   Brand name
•   Logo
•   Typography
•   Slogans
•   Music
•   Advertising style

Fair Use

Fair use is a framework that is designed to allow the lawful use or reproduction of IP, without having to seek permission from the copyright owner(s) or founder(s), or infringe their interest. However, for fair use to apply you need to:

• Only use a small amount of the IP (no more than 10%)
• Add new meaning to make it original
• Rework it and use it in a totally different way

The materials

The materials mean any content provided to you during your training in Certified Intuition Teacher, including Intuitive Intelligence® Teacher Certification manual, Spiritually Fierce, the Intuitive Intelligence® Training book, the  Intuitive Intelligence® Tapping manual, all resources provided in Simplero, videos, meditations, and all other training resources provided in soft and hard copy).
