Terms & Conditions

About the Academy

IP Licensing Coach Academy LLC ("Academy," "we," "our," or "us") is a Florida limited liability company that provides IP commercialization education, structured licensing campaign programs, advisory coaching, and related resources through the Licensing Launchpad™ IP Commercialization System and associated offerings, including Launchpad Lite (Foundation Membership) and Launchpad Elite.

The Academy is operated by Rand Brenner, who brings more than 35 years of licensing industry experience to his advisory role. The Academy is not a law firm, financial services firm, patent office, or investment adviser.

Acceptance of Terms

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, members, applicants, and purchasers. By doing any of the following, you confirm your unconditional acceptance:

• Accessing or browsing this website
• Completing any form, assessment, or application
• Enrolling in Launchpad Lite (free membership)
• Purchasing or enrolling in Launchpad Elite or any paid program
• Participating in any coaching session, module, or resource

If you are accepting on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

No Success Guarantee

The Licensing Launchpad™ system, Campaign Modules, coaching sessions, assessments, worksheets, dashboards, and all related materials are designed to provide structured education, frameworks, and strategic guidance. They are not a guarantee of commercial success.

Licensing is a complex, market-dependent activity influenced by many factors outside the Academy's control, including market conditions, the nature and strength of your IP, competitive landscape, partner availability, regulatory environment, and your own execution. No program, coach, consultant, or system can guarantee licensing outcomes.

Any examples, case studies, testimonials, or success stories shared by the Academy reflect the experiences of specific individuals under specific circumstances and are not representative of typical results.

No Refund Policy

By completing your purchase, you acknowledge and agree that:

• You have reviewed all program information prior to enrolling
• Digital access to program materials and resources begins upon enrollment
• Coaching sessions scheduled and/or conducted are non-refundable
• Dissatisfaction with results, pace, outcome, or personal circumstances does not constitute grounds for a refund
• Failure to complete the program, attend coaching sessions, or use the materials does not entitle you to a refund

If you have questions about program scope, commitment, or fit, we strongly encourage you to complete the application and orientation call process before enrolling in Launchpad Elite. Our application process exists specifically to help ensure alignment before any financial commitment is made.

Individual Results & Variables

Your results from any Academy program depend entirely on your individual circumstances, effort, consistency, resources, market timing, IP quality, and a wide range of variables outside the Academy's control or prediction.

• Individual Effort: The time, attention, and quality of work you invest in each module, worksheet, and activity
• Program Commitment: Consistent engagement over the 8-week structured program; members who do not complete the program as designed are unlikely to achieve intended results
• IP Readiness: The commercial viability, protection status, and market validation of your specific intellectual property at enrollment
• Market Conditions: Current and future market receptivity to your IP, which may shift during or after the program
• Partner Availability: The existence and responsiveness of suitable licensing partners in your target market
• External Circumstances: Personal, financial, industry, regulatory, or other circumstances affecting your ability to execute a licensing campaign
• Prior Experience: Your existing knowledge of business, IP, and licensing at the time of enrollment

The Academy provides the system, framework, and guidance. Execution and outcomes are your responsibility.

Not Legal Advice

IP Licensing Coach Academy LLC is not a law firm. Rand Brenner is not an attorney. No attorney-client relationship is formed by enrolling in any program or engaging with any Academy content or communication.

Topics covered in the Academy's programs may reference patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, licensing agreements, royalties, and IP valuation. These references are for educational and strategic orientation purposes only.

For legal advice specific to your intellectual property, licensing agreements, contractual obligations, or any other legal matter, you must consult a qualified, licensed attorney in your jurisdiction. The Academy strongly recommends engaging qualified IP counsel before entering into any licensing agreement, negotiation, or legal arrangement.

Coaching — Advisory Role Only

All coaching services provided by IP Licensing Coach Academy LLC, including those provided by Rand Brenner, are delivered strictly in an advisory capacity. Coaching sessions are designed to provide strategic perspective, campaign guidance, feedback on your materials, and directional recommendations based on Rand Brenner's licensing experience.

Coaching is not, and should not be treated as:

• Legal advice or legal representation
• Financial advice or investment guidance
• Accounting or tax advice
• A guarantee of any specific outcome or result
• A substitute for qualified professional advice in any regulated field

The Academy's coaching is experiential and strategic in nature. Rand Brenner's perspectives and recommendations are based on his professional experience and judgment and may not apply to every IP type, industry, market, or situation. Members are expected to evaluate all coaching input against their own specific circumstances and seek appropriate professional counsel where needed.

The Academy is not responsible for outcomes arising from decisions made based on coaching input. All business, legal, financial, and strategic decisions remain the member's sole responsibility.

Additional Coaching Requests

The Launchpad Elite program includes a defined number of coaching sessions with Rand Brenner as part of its structure (currently 12+ sessions across the 8-week program). These sessions are outlined in program materials at the time of enrollment.

If you require coaching sessions beyond those included — whether during or after the 8-week period — such sessions may be available subject to the following:

• Requests must be submitted in writing to info@iplicensingcoachacademy.com
• Additional sessions are subject to Rand Brenner's availability and are not guaranteed
• Sessions are available at the Academy's then-current rate, disclosed at the time of request
• Payment must be received in advance of the scheduled session
• The Academy reserves the right to decline requests at its sole discretion

Program Scope & Deliverables

The Academy reserves the right to modify program content, module structure, coaching formats, tools, and resources at any time to improve the program experience. Material changes will be communicated to enrolled members.

The Launchpad Elite program requires:

• Active participation over 8 consecutive weeks
• Approximately 5–8 hours of participation per week
• Completion of all 12 Campaign Modules in sequence
• Engagement in scheduled coaching sessions

Members who miss coaching sessions or fail to maintain the program schedule may not have the opportunity to reschedule. The Academy is not obligated to extend access or provide makeup sessions due to the member's failure to participate as scheduled.

Membership Tiers

Launchpad Lite (Foundation Membership) is provided free of charge and grants access to the Foundation Workbook and associated tools. Free membership may be revoked at any time for violations of these Terms or for inactivity, at the Academy's sole discretion.
