2. Products and Services
I offer the following products and services under the Protypa Council™:
– The AI Hype Trap™ is available as a digital download and physical book.
– Online programmes and courses: structured learning experiences on AI governance and deliberate leadership,
delivered digitally.
– Advisory services: individual or organizational advisory engagements delivered by Lilian E. M. Crawford.
– The Protypa Council™ Deliberation: a board-level AI governance deliberation for organizations facing
material AI decisions.
– Membership or community access: access to a defined community, resources, or ongoing engagement, as
described at the point of purchase.
The specific scope, format, duration, and deliverables of each offering are described on the relevant sales or landing page at the time of purchase. Those descriptions form part of the agreement between us.
3. Purchases and Payment
All prices are listed in euros (EUR) and are inclusive of VAT where applicable. Payment is due at the time of purchase unless a payment plan or invoice arrangement has been agreed upon in writing.
Payments are processed securely by Stripe. By completing a purchase, you agree to Stripe’s terms of service. I do not store your payment card details.
For high-value advisory engagements and deliberations, a separate written agreement or proposal will govern the commercial terms, including fees, invoicing schedule, and scope. In the event of a conflict between that agreement and these terms, the written agreement takes precedence.
4. Digital Products
Upon successful payment, digital products, including e-books and downloadable resources, are made available immediately or by email. It is your responsibility to download and save these materials.
Digital products are for your personal or organizational use only. You may not redistribute, resell, reproduce, or share them publicly without prior written permission.
5. Online Programmes and Courses
Access to online programs is provided for the period stated at the point of purchase. I reserve the right to update program content to improve quality or reflect developments in the field. Core materials will remain accessible for the duration of your access period.
Program materials are protected by copyright. They are licensed to you for personal use only and may not be shared, copied, or republished in any form.
I do not guarantee specific outcomes from participation in any program. Results depend on your individual engagement, context, and application of the material.
6. Advisory Services and Deliberations
Advisory engagements and Protypa Council™ Deliberations are delivered personally by Lilian E. M. Crawford. They are not transferable to another person or organization without prior written agreement.
The Protypa Council™ Deliberation is a structured governance deliberation, not a legal, financial, or regulatory compliance service. It does not constitute legal advice, and I accept no liability for decisions made on the basis of the deliberation process or its outcomes.
Confidentiality is treated with the highest degree of care. Information shared during advisory engagements and deliberations is held in strict confidence and will not be disclosed to third parties without your consent, except where required by law.
7. Cancellation and Refunds
Digital products
Because digital products are made available immediately upon purchase, the right of withdrawal under EU consumer law does not apply once you have accessed or downloaded the product. By completing your purchase and accessing the content, you expressly agree to waive this right.
If you experience a technical failure that prevents access, please contact me at lilian@protypa.com, and I will resolve it promptly.
Online programmes
If you have not yet accessed any program content, you may request a full refund within 14 days of purchase. Once content has been accessed, no refund will be issued except at my sole discretion.
Advisory services and deliberations
Cancellation terms for advisory engagements and deliberations are set out in the written agreement or proposal for each engagement. In the absence of a specific agreement, the following applies: cancellations made more than 14 days before a scheduled session will receive a full refund. Cancellations made within 14 days will not receive a refund, though I will make reasonable efforts to reschedule.
Memberships
Membership fees are non-refundable once a billing period has begun. You may cancel your membership at any time, and cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period.
8. Intellectual Property
All content, materials, frameworks, methodologies, and branding associated with Lilian E. M. Crawford and the Protypa Council™, including but not limited to The AI Hype Trap™, the Protypa Council™ decision system, the Protypa Charter, the Calm AI Decision Map™, and all written, visual, and program materials are protected by copyright and remain my exclusive intellectual property.
The Protypa Charter may be referenced or adopted by organizations in accordance with its stated principles. Adoption does not imply transfer of copyright or ownership and does not grant any right to reproduce, redistribute, or commercialize the Charter or any associated materials.
You may quote brief passages for the purposes of review, discussion, or organizational reference consistent with the purpose of the Protypa Charter, provided appropriate attribution is given.
Any other use of my intellectual property requires prior written permission. Requests may be submitted to lilian@protypa.com.
9. Confidentiality
Where you share confidential information with me in the context of an advisory engagement or deliberation, I will treat that information with strict confidence. I will not disclose it to third parties without your consent, except where required by applicable law.
Equally, any proprietary materials, frameworks, or methodologies I share with you in the context of an engagement are confidential to our working relationship and may not be shared externally without prior written agreement.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by Dutch and EU law, my liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of my website, products, programs, or services is limited to the amount you paid for the relevant product or service.
I accept no liability for indirect, consequential, or economic loss; loss of profit or revenue; decisions made on the basis of my content, programs, or advisory work; or technical failures of third-party platforms.
Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, death, or personal injury caused by negligence, as required by mandatory Dutch law.
11. Website Use
My website is provided for informational purposes and to enable access to my products and services. I make reasonable efforts to ensure content is accurate and up to date, but I do not guarantee the completeness or accuracy of any information on the site.
I accept no responsibility for the content of any third-party websites linked from my site. Links are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement.
You may not use my website for any unlawful purpose, to transmit harmful or disruptive content, or in any manner that could damage the reputation of the Protypa Council™ or infringe the rights of others.
12. Governing Law and Disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands. Any disputes arising from or relating to these terms, or to the products and services described herein, will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent Dutch courts, unless mandatory EU consumer law provides otherwise.
I am committed to resolving disputes amicably. If you have a concern, please contact me first at lilian@protypa.com, and I will do my best to reach a fair resolution.
13. Changes to These Terms
I may update these terms from time to time. The ‘last updated’ date at the top of this document reflects any revisions. Where changes materially affect existing customers, I will provide reasonable notice by email or via a notice on my website. Continued use of my website or services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
