The responsibility framework
Review summary v0.1A design aid, not the operator of your programme
Proposed allocation for counsel review: TPA assists with design only. The coach makes the operational decisions; OrangeTalks LLP, CCH and their partners, employees and associated people do not become the coach’s programme operator merely by providing this aid.
Coach-owned decisions, publication & delivery
The coach is intended to assume sole operational ownership of programme choices, teaching, participant relationships, marketing claims, promises and delivery, including financial and reputational outcomes. The coach reviews all material before use and remains responsible for truthful, lawful choices within the approved topic.
No guaranteed results
The proposed agreement should make clear that no learner transformation, revenue, profit, reputation, fame or other outcome is guaranteed by the platform. Actual outcomes depend on factors beyond a design tool.
Reasonable loss exclusions, only where lawful
Counsel must assess reasonable exclusions for revenue, profit, reputation, fame and related losses insofar as applicable law permits. No blanket or 100% immunity is proposed. Non-waivable statutory duties, operator fraud, data-security obligations and other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded must remain protected.
Third-party claims & lawful indemnity carve-outs
Counsel should consider a proportionate coach indemnity for third-party claims arising from coach-operated programmes, representations or supplied materials. Its scope, procedure and limits must preserve lawful carve-outs, including non-waivable operator obligations and operator wrongdoing where applicable.
Original resources, intellectual property & rights
The coach must have appropriate rights and permissions for resources, quotations, adaptations and publication. Original, third-party and confidential sources stay distinguishable; permission labels are not proof. Uploading material does not establish ownership or authorise reuse.
Regulated or higher-risk representations
Ordinary coaching skill decisions remain coach-owned. Regulated practice, credentials, clinical, legal, financial, effectiveness and testimonial claims require proportionate, jurisdiction-sensitive lawful safeguards. Self-assessment does not authorise unlawful practice, invented credentials, false results or fraudulent testimonials.
Privacy consent is separate from contractual assent
Signing a contract must not bundle DPDP or other privacy consent. Programme-design information, source excerpts, capability evidence and third-party materials remain four distinct, independently versioned purposes with their own permission and withdrawal treatment.
Electronic signature & private retrieval
Future signing requires the complete counsel-approved text, exact version and SHA256, verified identity, individual declarations and trusted UTC server recording of signature intent and evidence. The coach must be able to retrieve an authenticated private receipt webpage and downloadable exact signed snapshot. Material legal changes require renewed acceptance.
