As a Georgia-based course creator, your business exists across LMS platforms, payment gateways, and restrictive marketing channels. If you are incapacitated or unavailable, your 'drip' content, enrollment cycles, and refund dispute management cannot stop. Under O.C.G.A. § 13-3-40 and Georgia's strict Fair Business Practices Act, your representative needs clear, written authority to handle intellectual property rights, manage at-will contractors, and address FTC compliance for your webinars and marketing. This Power of Attorney ensures your agent can navigate Georgia's unique debtor-friendly homestead exemptions and garnishment laws while maintaining your course completion rates and digital legacy.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Online Course Creator:
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that enables one person (the principal) to designate another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions and act on their behalf in specified or all matters. The document serves as a legal empowerment that allows the agent to manage affairs such as financial transactions, health care decisions, and legal proceedings, thereby ensuring the principal's affairs can be managed even if they are incapacitated or unavailable to oversee them directly.
Refund disputes
Incorporating clear refund policies in terms and conditions, ensuring compliance with consumer protection laws.
Plagiarism claims
Using warranties and indemnities in contracts to guarantee the originality of content and handling of any claims.
Intellectual property infringement
Drafting comprehensive terms of use and securing licenses for third-party material used in courses.
Platform dependency issues
Including clauses regarding service continuity and data rights in agreements with LMS providers.
