Where a VantStride product contains templates, trackers, workbooks, or other materials intended to be completed or adapted by the purchaser, you may edit and customise those materials for your own individual use.

You may also use the resulting personal work product, including appropriately customised CVs, resumes, cover letters, networking messages, outreach messages, interview preparation materials, notes, analyses, and similar materials, for your own career, educational, or professional purposes.

Certain VantStride digital products may be distributed through third-party commerce platforms that apply purchaser-specific protections, including email stamping, purchase information, download controls, access controls, or other technical measures.

Where such measures are used, removing, altering, obscuring, or bypassing those protections for the purpose of unauthorized distribution is prohibited.
