Avoid this copycatting snafu šŸˆā€

by | Sep 5, 2024 | DIY Legal Templates

One of my clients, Hema, a business coach, is having stellar success on TikTok.šŸ“²

Sheā€™s created engaging and down-to-earth videos, and before long she reached 100,000 followers!

She was excited about her success and so were others. They DMed her ā€œHow did you do it?ā€

She realized she could share her wisdom with others, so she created a ā€œTikToks Made Easyā€ course that included a 1-on-1 TikTok account assessment call with her.

And she was shocked that so many people flocked to her to learn how to maximize their TikTok success.

They LOVED supporting and brainstorming with each other in the group forum.

Until one day Hemaā€™s client (Letā€™s call them ā€œClient Aā€) reached outā€¦because another of Hemaā€™s clients (ā€œClient Bā€) had COPIED Client Aā€™s exact video content word-for-word!

Client A was understandably upset and wanted Hema to ā€œdo somethingā€.šŸ˜”

But, unfortunately, Hemaā€™s client contract for her course didnā€™t include any language about what happens if her clients copy/steal/take other clientsā€™ work.

She had never even thought about that happening.

She reached out to me asking what to do.

And I had to tell her that she was in a legal pickle.šŸ„’

Blech.

I donā€™t want you to make the same mistake Hema did.

Know thisā€¦ When you offer a hybrid, combo or small group mastermind that includes BOTH group AND individual work, you need to have legal language for:

ā¤ļø confidentialityā€¦ so youā€™re not liable if a group member shares othersā€™ info.

ā¤ļø contentā€¦ so youā€™re not at fault if a group member steals someone elseā€™s work.

ā¤ļø callsā€¦ so youā€™re not blamed for recording or sharing call content as testimonials.

ā¤ļø and more!

And in case youā€™re wondering, no, your 1-on-1 Client Agreement doesnā€™t include this language.

But donā€™t worry – Iā€™ve got you!

Join me for a one-of-a-kind paid workshop THIS TUESDAY, Sept 10 to get clear how to stay legally safe for your hybrid program and get the docs you need.
