What you can do
- Use the document inside your own organisation, however many employees, contractors, and offices you have, for as long as your business operates.
- Use it for fee-paying client engagements you control — consulting, HR-as-a-service, fractional work, advisory. The document supports your work product; you own the deliverable to your client.
- Edit the document freely. Cut sections, rewrite clauses, add your branding, change the voice. The version you produce is yours.
- Translate the document for your own use, including for non-English-speaking employees and clients. (We are not yet able to certify the legal accuracy of translations — get local counsel review.)
- Retain access to documents you downloaded during a Library Pass period after the pass ends or is refunded.
What you cannot do
- Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the documents themselves under your own brand or another. This includes "document library" or "template marketplace" products built on our content.
- Use the documents to train a competing product or AI model. The library is a curated editorial product; it is not a training corpus.
- Share Library Pass access credentials with people outside your organisation. Team Pass exists for shared access.
- Use any of our intellectual property (name, logo, wordmark) without permission.
A note on attribution
Attribution is not required when you use a document with a client or inside your organisation. Attribution is welcome but optional. If you mention us, we appreciate it.
A note on legal weight
Every document is a professionally drafted starting point. It is not legal advice, and signing it does not establish a lawyer–client relationship between you and us. We recommend qualified legal review before publishing or signing any document that creates a legal obligation — particularly contracts, agreements, and policies that interact with employment, intellectual property, or consumer protection law in your jurisdiction.
