The Prepared Expert — The H Hansen Group, LLC

By enrolling in or purchasing access to The Prepared Expert (the "Course"), you agree to be bound by the terms below. If you do not agree to these terms, do not enroll.

1. Nature of the Course — Not Legal Advice

The Course is a communications training program designed to help expert witnesses present testimony more clearly, credibly, and persuasively. All content, materials, frameworks, and instruction — including but not limited to the BEAR Technique™, SEE Formula™, and the 3 Cs framework (Credibility, Compassion, Charisma) — are provided solely for communications education and skills development.

The Course does not constitute legal advice, legal services, or legal representation of any kind. The H Hansen Group, LLC is not a law firm. Course instructor Heather Hansen is a formerly practicing attorney who now works exclusively as a communications consultant, speaker, and educator. Nothing in this Course creates an attorney-client relationship between you and the Company or its instructors.

You understand and agree that:

• The Course teaches communication skills, not legal strategy or legal advice
• You are solely responsible for obtaining independent legal counsel regarding any legal matter, case, deposition, or testimony
• Nothing in the Course materials should be construed as guidance on the legal merits of any matter
• The Company makes no representations regarding outcomes in any legal proceeding

2. Limitation of Liability and Release

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its members, officers, employees, contractors, and instructors ("Released Parties") are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising out of or in connection with your enrollment in or use of the Course, including but not limited to:

• Outcomes in any deposition, trial, arbitration, or other legal or administrative proceeding
• Any professional, reputational, or financial consequences related to your testimony or conduct as an expert witness
• Your application or misapplication of any technique, method, or framework taught in the Course
• Any reliance on Course content as legal advice or legal guidance
• Any other result arising from your use of Course content in any professional or personal context

In no event shall the Company's total liability to you exceed the total amount you paid for enrollment in the Course.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Course content; (b) your conduct as an expert witness or otherwise; or (c) any breach of these terms.
