Questions

What file formats are the documents in?

Editable Microsoft Word (.docx) templates, plus one spreadsheet companion for the vendor risk scoring. They open in Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice and Apple Pages, so you can adapt every document to your organisation.

Can I customise the templates for my business?

Yes — that's the point. Everything is editable. Add your logo, change the policies to match how you actually work, and delete anything that doesn't apply. They're a professional starting point you make your own.

Is this legal advice?

No. These templates are a professional starting point, not legal advice. Laws and regulations differ by country and industry — review every document against the rules in your jurisdiction, and run anything high-stakes past local counsel before relying on it.

What's your refund policy?

Because the kit is delivered instantly as a download, sales are generally final. That said, if the files are defective or you can't access them, email us within 14 days and we'll fix it or refund you. Full details are on the terms page.

How does the download work?

After payment you're taken to a page with an instant download, and we email you a copy of the link too. The link works for 7 days and up to 5 downloads — so save the files somewhere safe once you have them. If your link expires, just email us for a fresh one.
