As an online course creator in Michigan, your business is built on digital assets, drip content, and complex LMS platforms. If you become incapacitated, your revenue—dependent on webinars, upsells, and completion rates—could collapse without a designated agent. A Power of Attorney ensures that someone can manage your enrollment cycles, resolve refund disputes under the Michigan Consumer Protection Act, and handle intellectual property infringement claims. This document is tailored for the digital entrepreneur, providing the specific authority needed to manage your unique business model while complying with MCL 566.132 and Michigan notarization standards.

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.
