Career Search OS

You are buying a licence to use the Career Search OS and any add-on you purchased, together the Materials. You are not buying ownership of them. The licence is personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and granted to one named individual: the person whose name and email appear on the purchase.

• Use the Materials for your own job search, for as long as you like.
• Edit, adapt, and fill in the templates with your own information.
• Store and use your copy on any device you personally own.
• Paste the prompts into any AI assistant you use personally.
• Keep and use the documents you create with the Materials, including your resume, cover letters, and master documents. Those are yours.

These restrictions are the heart of this agreement. Please read them.

What Competing Product means

A Competing Product is any template set, toolkit, prompt library, course, framework, workflow, methodology, or other product or service intended to help job seekers or career-transition clients, where that product or service is created using, derived from, adapted from, or substantially based on the Materials.

What this does not do. It does not stop you working in this field. You remain free to build career products, coach, write, teach, and compete, using your own independent work, your own experience, and material you did not take from this kit. The restriction attaches to these Materials, not to your profession.

If a court disagrees. If any restriction in this section is found broader than the law allows, it is to be read as narrowly as necessary to be enforceable rather than removed altogether.

Every copy is personalized and individually licensed. Your name and email appear in the license line, and a unique reference code is written into the file properties of each document. If a copy of the Materials appears somewhere it should not, it can be traced back to the purchase it came from. We are telling you this plainly so there are no surprises.

If you received these Materials from someone other than Elevate and Lead Executive Coaching, they were shared in breach of this agreement. Please contact us and we will sort out a properly licensed copy for you.

The Materials, including all templates, prompts, documents, spreadsheets, structure, and wording, are the copyrighted work of Barbara Markle, doing business as Elevate and Lead Executive Coaching. All rights not expressly granted above are reserved.

Career Search OS is registered with the United States Copyright Office. Registration covering the current version is being filed.

Unauthorized copying or distribution may result in copyright infringement claims, DMCA takedown requests, requests to hosting providers and platforms to terminate the offending account, and any other remedy available at law.

If you tell us something about the product, we want to be able to act on it without either of us wondering later who it belongs to.

What happens to it. Anything you tell us about the Materials, including suggestions, criticisms, corrections, rewritten wording, ideas for new features and requests, is Feedback. You irrevocably assign to us all right, title and interest in all Feedback, including any copyright in the words you write. We may use Feedback for any purpose, forever, anywhere, without paying you, crediting you, or asking again, including in this product, future and renamed versions, other products, and marketing. We are under no obligation to use any of it.

What this does not do. Giving feedback does not give you any ownership of the Materials, any share of revenue, or any claim over anything built as a result. It also does not oblige you to give feedback at all.

One thing we need from you. You confirm that your Feedback is yours to give and does not contain anyone else's confidential or proprietary material. Please do not send us your employer's internal frameworks, templates or documents.

Your own material stays yours. Your career information, resume content, and the documents you create using the Materials remain entirely yours, and are covered by the Privacy Policy.

We will not quote you, name you, or use your story in any marketing without your written agreement first. When you say yes, we will confirm in writing where it will be used, for how long, whether we may shorten it without changing its meaning, and whether we may use your name, job title or photograph. You can withdraw permission for future use at any time by emailing us, and we will stop using it in new material.

If you received the Materials free or at a discount in exchange for a review or testimonial, United States Federal Trade Commission rules treat that as a material connection which must be disclosed inside the endorsement itself. Any review or testimonial you give in those circumstances must say so.

Your copy is personalized by hand with your name and license details, so it does not download automatically at checkout. You will receive a short confirmation note at checkout, and your personalized kit arrives by email within two business days, usually much sooner.

If it has not arrived within two business days, email [email protected] and I will send it straight away. Please check your spam folder first, since the kit arrives as an attachment.

The Materials are designed to be used with third-party AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot. We do not own, control, or provide those tools, and we are not responsible for their availability, their pricing, their terms, or what they produce.

This system exists precisely because AI tools state things that are not true. The Materials are built to catch that, and they only work if you do your part. You are responsible for checking every fact, number, date, and claim in anything you submit to an employer. Nothing in the Materials removes that responsibility from you.

A suggestion, not a rule. Where your AI tool offers a setting that stops the provider training on your inputs, we suggest you turn it on. That protects your own career information at least as much as it protects ours.

We do not promise or guarantee interviews, offers, employment, salary outcomes, or any particular result. This is a system for preparing accurate, well-targeted materials. Your results depend on your experience, your market, your effort, and factors none of us control. The Materials are provided for informational and educational purposes and are not legal, financial, or career placement advice.

The Materials are delivered as personalized digital files that carry your name and license details. Once sent, they cannot be returned or un-received, which is why this policy exists.

What we will always do: if your files will not open, arrive damaged, are missing, or are not what was described, tell us and we will fix it or resend at no cost. That is a delivery problem, not a refund request, and we treat it as our responsibility.

By checking the agreement box at checkout, you confirm you have read and accepted this no-refund policy before purchase.

If you breach these terms, your license ends immediately and you must delete all copies of the Materials. Ending the license does not entitle you to any refund and does not limit any other remedy available to us, including the remedies available under copyright law.

Irreparable harm and injunctive relief. You acknowledge that unauthorized use, disclosure, reproduction, or distribution of the Materials may cause irreparable harm for which money alone would not be an adequate remedy. We may therefore seek injunctive or other equitable relief, in addition to any other remedy available under law, and without needing to post a bond where the law permits.

Costs of enforcement. In any action arising from a breach of this agreement, the prevailing party is entitled to recover reasonable attorneys fees and costs, to the extent permitted by law.

Your indemnity. You will cover our reasonable losses, costs and legal fees arising from your breach of these terms or your misuse of the Materials. This does not apply to anything caused by us.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Materials are provided as is and with all faults, and we disclaim all warranties of any kind, express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to the Materials is limited to the amount you actually paid for them. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages, including lost opportunities, lost wages, or lost profits.

1. Entire agreement. These terms are the entire agreement between us about the Materials, and they replace any earlier statement, page, or discussion, including any guarantee language that appeared in earlier versions of the product.
2. Severability. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable, and if that is not possible it will be severed and the rest continues to apply.
3. Governing law and venue. The laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
4. Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this licence. We may assign these terms, and all rights under them, without your consent, to any entity we form or control that succeeds to the business now operated as Elevate and Lead Executive Coaching, including any limited liability company or corporation.
5. No relationship. Nothing in these terms creates an employment, partnership, joint venture, agency or fiduciary relationship between us, and buying the Materials does not entitle you to any compensation, revenue share or credit.
6. Electronic agreement. We each agree to enter into this agreement electronically. Checking the agreement box at checkout is your signature and has the same effect as a signed paper copy.
7. Notices. Notices to us go to [email protected]. Notices to you go to the email address on your purchase, and count as received on the day they are sent.
8. Changes to these terms. We may update these terms for future purchases. The version you agreed to at checkout is the version that governs your purchase, and it is named at the bottom of this page.
9. Privacy. Your privacy is covered by a separate Privacy Policy, which is linked alongside these terms.

Questions about these terms, licensing for professional use, or a problem with your files: [email protected]. We reply within two business days.
