With the exception of governmental providers of guidelines, check-lists and standards, most providers have some sort of copyright on their guidelines, check-lists and standards.

Our forms do not contain any content except the requirements themselves. For example, our ISO forms cover only statement's of criteria; the ISO standard itself is not reproduced for resale. As you know, and as we have documented in our requirement's database, a significant number of requirements that address a particular issue (e.g. the use of seals, perimeter security, facility cleanliness, data security) are contained within and are similarly worded in various guidelines and standards.

Any purchaser of our forms should review the statements of the provider. If an organization has already purchased a particular standard, as we have, then that organization already has the right to use the requirement statements, if such right is in fact required.

We have provided direct links to provider sites where you may review their copyrights, download their guideline, check-list or standard without cost, or, in the case of ISO, where you may purchase the standard. We assume all responsibility for the reformatting, rewording, and any misinterpretations and/or typographical errors are ours.

We are not affiliated with any provider of any guideline, check-list or standard or with any certified body licensed to audit the guideline, check-list or standard.

We are not, nor will we become, licensed to perform audits.

We receive no fees of any sort from any provider, seller, auditor, or any other party related to the sale of our forms.
