5. Digital Products

Threat Manifest sells digital products (checklists, templates, compliance documents) via Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the merchant of record.

Licence

Upon purchase, you are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the purchased product for your own personal or internal organisational use. You may not resell, redistribute, or share purchased products with third parties.

Refunds

Digital products are delivered immediately upon purchase. Due to the nature of digital goods, all sales are final. If you experience a technical issue preventing access to a purchased product, contact us at contact@threatmanifest.com within 7 days of purchase and we will resolve it.

Accuracy

Digital products are produced in good faith and reflect current framework requirements at the time of publication. Framework requirements change. Threat Manifest is not responsible for outcomes arising from use of outdated product versions. Check the version date on any purchased document before use.


6. Consulting Services

Consulting enquiries submitted via this site are not binding agreements. Submission of an enquiry form does not create a consulting relationship, obligation, or contract.

A consulting engagement only begins when both parties have agreed in writing (via email or formal agreement) on scope, deliverables, and terms.

Consulting services are subject to a separate engagement agreement. These Terms and Conditions govern use of this website — they do not constitute consulting terms of engagement.

By subscribing to the Threat Manifest newsletter, you agree to receive periodic emails on the track you selected (Professional GRC or General Security). You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email.

We will not send you content unrelated to what you subscribed for. We will not sell or share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes.


8. Affiliate Links

Some articles contain affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, Threat Manifest may earn a commission. This does not affect the price you pay. Affiliate relationships do not influence editorial content.
