GENERAL
Upon ordering and paying for a document, you may download and access it for your personal use or for a single customer location, such as a manufacturing plant. If you're an independent consultant, you may use the materials to deliver training programs to your clients. Educational institutions like universities may also use the materials for their lectures to students and external clients.
Before making a purchase, it's your responsibility to ensure that your device meets the minimum system requirements. You're also responsible for any internet or other connection charges you may incur while downloading, accessing, and using the store.
If you reside in countries like India, with low internet speeds, there might be local connectivity issues that could cause the downloading process to take a longer time to complete.
All training presentations have a 4:3 standard screen aspect ratio, unless otherwise specified in the document description. The total number of slides includes cover and transition slides, and the file size is expressed in MB, referring to the size of all documents in the training package. All documents are in English and do not include an instructor guide or facilitation notes.
The training presentations and frameworks/models may not contain MCQs, quizzes, or case studies unless otherwise stated in the document description.

Users may distribute the training presentations and frameworks/models in the form of hard copies only to clients, students, trainees, employees, and other target audiences.

APPROVED USE
Each copy of our document or license is intended for personal use or use within a single customer location, such as a manufacturing plant. If you need to use the document for another customer location, you should purchase a separate copy or license. Please note that licenses cannot be transferred from one company to another.
(a) If your company has less than 500 employees, one license should suffice.
(b) If your company has 500 or more employees at different locations, we recommend applying the ratio of one license per 500 employees, based on the US SBA Office of Advocacy's definition of a small business.
(c) It is important to note that different countries have different definitions of a small business. In such cases, please follow the respective country's definition of a small business. For example, a company incorporated in Singapore should use the ratio of one license per 200 employees (based on Singapore's definition of a small business) if they intend to use a training presentation to train employees in Singapore.
Users may store a copy of the training presentation on their intranet, e-learning system or a document management and storage system such as SharePoint or OneDrive. However, general users of these platforms should be granted only read access and are strictly prohibited from downloading a soft copy of the presentation.
Users may use third-party platforms such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams to screen share a PowerPoint presentation and deliver an online training program.
Our documents, including training presentations or any modifications thereof, may not be resold, rented, or redistributed in isolation or as part of any commercial offering. For example, it would be a violation of our terms of use to translate our presentation materials into different languages and incorporate them into online training videos for sale on platforms like Udemy.
