Acceptable Use Policy

This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) sets out the rules that apply to your use of https://farhanterubos.com, our newsletters, our podcast, our free resources, our accounts and membership area, and all of our paid products.

This AUP forms part of, and is incorporated by reference into, our Terms of Service. Terms defined in the Terms of Service have the same meaning here. Breaching this AUP is a breach of the Terms of Service.

1. Who this applies to

This AUP applies to every person who accesses the Services, whether or not they hold an Account and whether or not they have paid us anything. It applies to:

• visitors to the Site;
• subscribers to the HIS™ Newsletter;
• recipients of any Free Resource, including the ebook SYSTEMS, NOT CERTIFICATES;
• listeners to the HIS™ Podcast; and
• purchasers and Account holders.

The business responsible for these Services is FT IDEAS ENTERPRISE, SSM No. 201703313130 (002706763-U), of A-6-7, Idaman Sutera Condominium, Jalan Meranti, 53100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Contact: [email protected] / +60 17-719 4960.

2. Your core obligations

You must:

1. use the Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these rules;
2. comply with all applicable laws of Malaysia and of any other country from which you access the Services;
3. keep your Account credentials confidential and use them only yourself;
4. respect our intellectual property and that of others; and
5. not do anything that damages, disables, overburdens or impairs the Services, or that interferes with any other person’s use of them.

3. Restrictions on Content — the core rules

Our Content is licensed to you for your own personal and internal professional use only, on the terms set out in Section 12 of the Terms of Service. Except with our prior written consent, you must not:

3.1 Copying and distribution

• copy, reproduce or duplicate any Content, in whole or in part, beyond what is reasonably necessary for your own personal reference;
• resell, relicense, rent, lease, lend or sublicense any Content, whether for money or for anything else of value;
• redistribute or republish any Content — including uploading it to a file-sharing site, a cloud drive, a torrent, a course-sharing platform, a paid or free membership site, a WhatsApp group, a Telegram channel, a Discord server, a Facebook group, or any other public or semi-public space;
• post any Content, or a substantial extract from it, on any website, blog, social media account, newsletter or app that you or anyone else controls;
• include any Content in any compilation, bundle, giveaway, bonus or lead magnet;
• circulate Content within an organisation, team or department on the strength of a single-user purchase. Each user requires their own licence; or
• remove, obscure or alter any copyright notice, watermark, attribution, trade mark or other proprietary marking.

3.2 Recording and capture

• screen-record, screen-capture, film, photograph or audio-record any video, lesson, module or live session, other than for your own strictly private reference;
• use any tool, extension, bot or script to bulk-download, scrape, mirror, archive or extract Content;
• transcribe any video or audio Content for the purpose of distributing the transcript; or
• translate any Content into another language and publish, distribute or sell that translation. A translation is a derivative work and the copyright in it does not belong to you.

3.3 Artificial intelligence

• upload, paste, ingest or otherwise submit any Content to an artificial intelligence system, large language model, dataset, vector database or machine learning service for the purpose of training it, or of enabling it to reproduce, paraphrase, summarise or regenerate our Content for anyone other than you;
• use an AI system to generate a product, course, template pack, prompt library, book or other work that is substantially derived from our Content; or
• use an AI system to produce a “version” of our Content for distribution, whether or not it is attributed to us.

For the avoidance of doubt: using AI tools as we teach you to, on your own work and for your own purposes, is exactly what our Content is for and is entirely permitted. What is prohibited is using AI as a laundering mechanism for our Content.

3.4 Competing products

• use any Content, or the structure, sequence, organisation or methodology of any Content, to create, market or sell a competing course, coaching programme, membership, template pack, book or information product;
• use any Content as teaching material in your own paid or free training, workshop, class or corporate programme; or
• reverse engineer our frameworks with the object of producing a substitute for them.

This clause does not stop you from teaching what you know, from writing about ideas in the field generally, or from building your own business using the skills you learn. It stops you from repackaging our work as yours.

3.5 Account and access

• share, sell, transfer, lend, publish or otherwise disclose your Account credentials to any other person;
• allow any other person to access a paid Product through your Account;
• create an Account using false information, another person’s identity, or a disposable or fraudulent email address;
• create multiple Accounts to obtain a benefit intended for a single user, to evade a suspension, or to abuse a promotion;
• circumvent, disable or interfere with any paywall, login, licence check, access control or technological protection measure. This is separately prohibited by section 36A of the Copyright Act 1987; or
• access, or attempt to access, any part of the Services you are not authorised to access.

4. Restrictions on conduct

You must not:

• use the Services to send unsolicited commercial communications, chain messages or spam;
• harvest, scrape or otherwise collect email addresses, names or other data belonging to other users or to us;
• impersonate us, any member of our team, or any other person, or misrepresent your affiliation with us;
• use our name, logo or trade marks in a way that suggests endorsement, partnership or approval that we have not given;
• harass, threaten, abuse, defame, stalk or intimidate us, our team, or any other user, in any channel including email, social media and reviews;
• submit content that is unlawful, obscene, indecent, menacing, defamatory, harassing, discriminatory, or that incites hatred or violence;
• submit content that is knowingly false, or that is designed to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass another person. Improper use of network facilities is an offence under section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998;
• submit content that infringes the copyright, trade mark, privacy, confidence or other rights of any person;
• post a false or misleading review or testimonial, whether about us or about anyone else; or
• use the Services in any way that could expose us to civil liability, regulatory action or criminal investigation.

5. Restrictions on technical use

You must not:

• introduce or attempt to introduce any virus, worm, trojan, ransomware, keystroke logger, spyware or other malicious code;
• gain or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, its server, its database, or any connected system or network. Unauthorised access to computer material is an offence under section 3 of the Computer Crimes Act 1997 (Act 563), and unauthorised modification of contents is an offence under section 5 of that Act;
• probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Site, or breach or attempt to breach its security or authentication measures, without our prior written authorisation;
• conduct any denial-of-service or distributed denial-of-service attack, or otherwise flood, overload or disrupt the Services;
• use any robot, spider, crawler, scraper, headless browser or other automated means to access the Services, except for a search engine crawler that obeys our robots.txt file;
• frame, mirror or embed any part of the Site without our written consent;
• decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer any software forming part of the Services, except to the extent that this restriction is prohibited by law; or
• interfere with, or attempt to interfere with, any other user’s access to the Services.

6. Community spaces

We do not currently operate a community forum, comment section, chat group or member community. If we launch one, the rules in Sections 4 and 5 will apply to it in full, and we will publish any additional community-specific rules before it opens.

7. Monitoring and enforcement

• We are not obliged to monitor use of the Services, and we do not undertake to do so. We reserve the right to do so where we consider it necessary to protect the Services, our rights or our users.
• We may use technical measures, including watermarking, unique identifiers embedded in downloads, access logging, device and location analysis, and third-party piracy monitoring services, to detect and evidence breaches of this AUP.
• We may investigate any suspected breach and may require you to provide reasonable information in connection with an investigation.
• We may preserve and disclose records to law enforcement, a regulator or a court where we are legally required to do so, or where disclosure is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

8. Consequences of a breach

Where we determine, acting reasonably, that you have breached this AUP, we may take one or more of the following steps. The step we take will be proportionate to the seriousness of the breach.

9. Statutory remedies available to us

Unauthorised reproduction or distribution of our Content may give rise to civil and criminal liability, including:

• civil remedies for copyright infringement under section 37 of the Copyright Act 1987 (Act 332), including damages, an account of profits, an injunction and additional damages for flagrant infringement;
• criminal liability under section 41 of the Copyright Act 1987 for making, distributing, possessing or offering for sale infringing copies;
• criminal liability under section 36A of the Copyright Act 1987 for the circumvention of technological protection measures;
• liability under the Computer Crimes Act 1997 (Act 563) for unauthorised access to, or modification of, computer material; and
• liability under section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588) for the improper use of network facilities or network services.

We reserve every right and remedy available to us at law and in equity.

10. Reporting a breach

If you become aware of any breach of this AUP — including our Content being sold or shared somewhere it should not be — please tell us at [email protected] with the subject line “AUP Report”. Please include the URL or location, a description of what you have seen, and a screenshot if you have one.

We are grateful for reports and we act on them. We will not disclose your identity to the person you have reported unless we are legally compelled to do so.

11. Copyright complaints and takedown procedure

We respect the intellectual property of others and we expect the same in return. If you believe that material accessible on or through our Services infringes your copyright, you may send us a notification.

11.1 How to send a notification

Send your notification to [email protected] with the subject line “Copyright Notification”. Under section 43H of the Copyright Act 1987, your notification must be in writing and must include:

1. your name, address, telephone number and email address;
2. sufficient information to identify the copyright work said to be infringed, and evidence that you are the owner of the copyright or are authorised to act on the owner’s behalf;
3. the URL or other information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the allegedly infringing material;
4. a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
5. a statement that the information in your notification is accurate; and
6. your physical or electronic signature.

11.2 What we will do

On receiving a compliant notification we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material identified, and will notify the person who posted it, giving them a copy of the notification.

11.3 Counter-notification

If your material has been removed and you believe the removal was mistaken or the result of misidentification, you may send us a counter-notification containing your contact details, identification of the material and its former location, and a statement under penalty that you have a good faith belief that it was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification.

We will forward the counter-notification to the original complainant and will restore the material within ten (10) business days, unless the complainant first notifies us that they have commenced proceedings seeking a court order restraining the alleged infringement.

11.4 False notifications

11.5 Repeat infringers

We will terminate the Account of any user who is determined to be a repeat infringer.

12. Relationship to other policies

This AUP sits alongside our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Return Policy. Where there is any conflict, the Terms of Service prevail, save that nothing in any of our policies limits a right you hold under Malaysian law that cannot be excluded by agreement.

13. Changes to this AUP

We may update this AUP from time to time to reflect new products, new abuse patterns or changes in the law. The current version is always published on the Site with its version number and effective date. Material changes will be notified to Account holders and subscribers by email at least fourteen (14) days before they take effect.
