Real Impact — Recording and Intellectual Property Policy
Effective Date: [Pending publish — set at attorney sign-off]
This Policy governs intellectual property rights, recording rights, and confidentiality across all Real Impact Offerings. It is incorporated by reference into the Real Impact Terms of Service at realimpacthq.com/terms and into every per-Offering Enrollment Agreement.
1. Real Impact's Intellectual Property
All Real Impact Offering materials are the exclusive intellectual property of Tim Wilkinson and Real Impact, including but not limited to:
(a) Curriculum, role-play scripts, question libraries, frameworks, worksheets, and templates (b) Coaching frameworks (the Four Offers, the Rule of 7, the Investor Archetypes, the Pre-Call Rituals, the Paid Consulting brackets) (c) Recordings of live sessions, hot-seat coaching, Q&A calls, bootcamps, and cohort sessions (d) Written materials, ebooks, workbooks, charters, and manifestos (e) Software, automation, and any digital tools provided through any Offering (f) The Gutsy Closer, Gutsy Investor, Gutsy Mentor wordmarks, branding, and methodology naming
These materials are licensed to Client for Client's personal use only as part of Client's enrollment in the applicable Offering. Client receives no right to redistribute, resell, sublicense, screen-record for republication, post online, teach, train, or coach third parties using these materials without Real Impact's express written consent.
2. Third-Party Licensed Materials
Certain materials within Real Impact Offerings are used under licensee rights from third parties:
(a) G.U.T.S.™ Sales Training Method, Lease Purchase materials, and G.U.T.S. Attraction Marketing materials. These are the intellectual property of CC&R Property Investments, Inc., D/B/A Diamond Consulting Group ("Claude Diamond"). Tim Wilkinson holds a separate Triennial License to use, reference, and train using these materials. Client receives access only through Tim Wilkinson's licensee rights — Client receives no independent license to redistribute, sublicense, or teach using G.U.T.S. branding or materials.
(b) Renatus / Chris Albin curriculum references. Certain tactical content references Renatus and Chris Albin source material. Client receives access only through Tim Wilkinson's coaching synthesis — no independent license is conveyed.
(c) Bob Snyder negotiation materials. Used as cited source-lineage; no independent license conveyed.
Where third-party licensed materials are used, the relevant third-party terms also apply. Real Impact will identify the specific licensor wherever third-party materials are referenced.
3. Recording Rights
(a) All live Real Impact sessions are recorded. This includes Bootcamps, Cohort sessions, hot-seat coaching, 1:1 mentoring calls, Q&A calls, and any live group event. Recordings are stored in the Gutsy Vault (or successor library) and made available according to the access tier Client purchased.
(b) Bilateral recording rights. Both Real Impact and Client may record and retain recordings of live sessions Client participates in, for personal note-taking and occasional commercial or marketing use of the Real Impact / Client relationship, subject to Section 4 below.
(c) Marketing use of Client's likeness, name, and recordings. Real Impact may, with Client's explicit written consent (which Client may withhold), use anonymized or attributed excerpts of Client's session recordings, written reports, and likeness in Real Impact marketing materials. Client's enrollment in an Offering does not by itself grant marketing-use consent — Real Impact will ask separately.
(d) Client's own real-call recordings. When Client submits Client's own real seller-call, buyer-call, or negotiation-call recordings to Real Impact for review (as required in coaching Offerings), Client grants Real Impact a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use anonymized excerpts for Real Impact's internal training. Public marketing use of Client's submitted call recordings requires Client's explicit written consent, which may be withheld.
4. Confidentiality
(a) Cohort confidentiality. Discussions of fellow cohort members' deals, finances, business situations, personal circumstances, or any other information shared during sessions are strictly confidential. Client shall not disclose, share, or use such information outside the cohort, including without limitation in Client's own marketing, social media, blog posts, or content.
(b) Hot-seat confidentiality. If Client receives hot-seat coaching about Client's own situation, the content of that hot-seat coaching is provided to Client for Client's use. Other cohort members observing the hot-seat are bound by paragraph (a) above.
(c) Real Impact confidentiality. Real Impact treats Client's submitted materials (real-call recordings, weekly reports, archetype assessments, financial figures) as confidential. Real Impact may share anonymized summaries with Real Impact staff and coaching team for delivery purposes but will not disclose Client-identifying information without consent.
5. Client's Own Work Product
Client's own work product — including Client's real-call recordings, Client's written weekly reports, Client's notes from sessions, Client's deals, and Client's business records — remains Client's exclusive property.
By submitting these to Real Impact for review or coaching purposes, Client grants Real Impact only the limited non-exclusive license described in Section 3(d) above. Real Impact does not claim ownership of Client's underlying business, deals, or revenue.
6. Public-Facing Acknowledgment of Methodology Source
If Client publicly cites the Gutsy Closer method, the Four Offers framework, the Rule of 7, the Investor Archetype model, or any other Real Impact methodology in Client's own content, marketing, or coaching of Client's own students, Real Impact requests:
(a) Attribution to Tim Wilkinson and Real Impact; (b) Where applicable, attribution to the underlying mentor chain (Bob Snyder, Claude Diamond, Chris Albin) when Client cites that lineage; (c) Client's content does not represent itself as Real Impact-endorsed or Real Impact-affiliated without Real Impact's written consent.
This Section 6 is a request, not a license. Client receives no right to teach using Real Impact branding or methodology naming without a separate license agreement.
7. NDA-Equivalent Information Sharing
In the course of coaching, Client may share confidential business information with Real Impact (deal-specific financials, supplier names, market intelligence, personal financial information). Real Impact treats this information as confidential and uses it only for the purpose of providing coaching services.
This Section does NOT cover information that:
(a) Was already in Real Impact's possession before Client disclosed it; (b) Is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Real Impact; (c) Is independently developed by Real Impact; (d) Real Impact is legally required to disclose (e.g., under court order or regulatory inquiry).

10. Termination of License
The license described in Section 1 terminates automatically upon:
(a) Client's voluntary withdrawal from any Offering (Client may retain materials Client has already downloaded for personal reference but loses access to any membership tier or live component); (b) Real Impact's termination of Client's enrollment for cause (Client loses all access — both live and retained materials — and must cease use immediately); (c) Material breach of this Policy by Client.
