Affiliate Statement

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Group Leaders, Book Club Leaders & Students/Participants

By signing up as a “Group Leader” and/or “Book Club Leader”, or participating in a group using materials produced by PB, you agree to the following additional terms and conditions.

Thank you for reading this carefully!

The following information will explain the terms and conditions of your work with PaolaBrown.com as a Group or Book Club Leader. Here are some highlights:

Short list:

As a Group Leader or Book Club Leader, you are not an employee but a contractor for PaolaBrown.com. This means you will need to file your own taxes for any income you make when you teach a course, including any commissions you make. At the end of the year, if you make over $600 as a Group Leader or Book Club Leader, PB will provide you with a 1099 for you to use when filing your taxes.

You should have sent in your W-9 when you registered and paid your fee to become a Group Leader or Book Club Leader. Before PB can send you your checks, we will need a W-9 on file for you.

Group Leaders and Book Club Leaders should never record any of their lessons. Group Leaders and Book Club Leaders should not photocopy or otherwise reproduce any materials. 

Group Leaders and Book Club Leaders must also make sure that their students and/or participants follow this rule and if they do see a student who has photocopied materials, they should address this copyright infringement with their student by helping them understand the rules and assisting in the purchase of the appropriate materials.

Group Leaders  must ensure that each enrolled student owns their own copy of the workbook and each family needs a copy of the storybook Evie and the Secret of Small Things (either in hard copy or in audiobook version). Book Club Leaders must ensure that each Book Club participant owns their own Book Club Handbook and storybook Evie and the Secret of Small Things (either in hard copy or in audiobook version)

Reselling the curriculum and other materials is strictly prohibited, especially for consumable workbooks. If a Group Leader or Book Club Leader would like to share any information from the teacher’s manual (or any other PaolaBrown.com material) that is not already in materials purchased by a student/participant, then the Group Leaders and Book Club Leaders must contact PB first for expressed permission.

In addition to the aforementioned restrictions, Group Leaders, Book Club Leaders and students/participants using the Teach Me Health and Homeopathy curriculum are not permitted to record their classes in any way.

If the GL would like to share any information from the teacher’s manual that is not already in the student workbook, then the Group Leaders and/or Book Club Leaders must contact PB first for expressed permission. 

Online Teacher’s Area
Videos provided in the Online Teacher’s Area are only available to the teacher, and to the designed families and students during appropriate modules of the curriculum. Video resources will only be available by URL and must remain played off of PaolaBrown.com. Saving video resources is strictly prohibited

File Sharing 

People do not give up their ownership (if there is indeed a true ownership) when they upload their materials to File Sharing area of the Group Classes on PaolaBrown.com. However, it is important to understand that most materials uploaded to the File Sharing area are simple derivative works that are based on the curriculum, Teach Me Health and Homeopathy, such as the Homeopathy Memory Work Music. Many of these works would not be able to satisfy the level of originality required in order to receive copyright protection. In addition, PaolaBrown.com can exercise our rights to control the proprietary interests of original content that we have developed.

Individuals are prohibited from selling materials that they access on the File Sharing area of PaolaBrown.com. However, when someone uploads an item to the File Sharing area, they are making it available to thousands of families around the world. If an individual is concerned about their materials being misused by other PaolaBrown.com users, especially where pecuniary interests might be involved, then they should refrain from uploading their materials to the File Sharing site.

Generally speaking, anyone’s original creative work receives copyright protection from the time it is created. However, individuals should consider registering their original work with the U.S. Copyright Office in order to make it easier to pursue damages against another party that may infringe upon their copyright.
