Acceptable Use Policy
What you can do with Cold Approach material, what you can't, and the conduct that can cost access.
Scope
This Acceptable Use Policy covers everything we publish: articles, course videos, done-for-you service feedback, coaching session content, and any material we share inside private student groups. Violating it is grounds for suspension or termination of your account, with or without refund, depending on what you did.
Cold Approach material is for your personal use
Your subscription, course purchase, or coaching engagement entitles you to consume Cold Approach material. It does not grant a license to redistribute, repost, resell, screen-share with non-paying viewers, transcribe and republish, train an AI model on, or share the material with people who haven’t paid for access.
Recording coaching and group calls
You may not record, screenshot, transcribe, or otherwise capture coaching sessions, group calls, or private community channels without explicit written permission from the coach running the session. Sharing another student’s private session material can lead to permanent removal. People only speak honestly in coaching when they trust the room.
Behavior toward women, coaches, and other students
Cold Approach teaches a skill set that, applied without judgment, can be used badly. We do not support coercive, predatory, or harassing behavior. The following can get you removed from any coaching engagement and refunded only per the terms of the Refund Policy:
- Approaching women in ways that are coercive, predatory, or use deception about who you are or what you want.
- Approaching minors, intoxicated women, or anyone in a clearly compromised state.
- Recording or photographing women without consent in private settings.
- Persisting after a clear no, at the door, at the bar, by text, anywhere.
- Harassing, doxxing, or bad-mouthing coaches, staff, or other students.
- Using anything you learn here to harm a specific woman you have a grievance with.
Profile and dating services: what they're for and what they're not for
Our profile and dating services are for profile work and dating-app messages. They are not for:
- Impersonating someone you’re not in a way designed to deceive (catfishing).
- Generating content involving minors. Ever.
- Generating non-consensual imagery of real, identifiable people.
- Stalking, harassing, or building unauthorized profiles of specific individuals.
- Bulk-spamming dating apps or messaging platforms.
We may permanently terminate accounts used for any of the above. Refunds in those cases are not available.
Redistribution and derivative works
You may not republish, repost, mirror, or rehost Cold Approach material, including text, video, audio, transcripts, prompts, screenshots, coaching notes, or community posts, on any platform. You may not package any of it into a course, ebook, newsletter, or AI training set. You may quote a sentence or two with a clear attribution and a link back, the way you’d quote any published author.
Automated scraping and reverse engineering
Do not scrape the site, the articles, or any interface, use automated tools to sign up, or reverse-engineer our methods. We reserve every legal remedy for unauthorized scraping, including civil action and account ban.
Enforcement
If we believe you’ve violated this policy we may lock your account and email you a description of the issue from hello@coldapproach.io, and we may close the account.
Report a policy concern
If you see another user violating any of this, including recordings circulating, harassment, or anything that crosses the line, email hello@coldapproach.io.
