Disclaimer & terms of use

Not a controlled document of any management system built from this template. This page governs use of the template itself and must be retained in every copy and instance — see section 11.

This integrated management system template (the Template), including its documents, schemas, tooling, questionnaires and guides, is provided by [PROVIDER: legal entity name] (the Provider), free of charge, on the terms below. By copying, instantiating, adapting or otherwise using the Template you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Template.

1. What the Template is — and is not

The Template is a generic documentation starting point for building a management system aligned with ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018. It is documentation only. A management system is something an organisation operates: documents, however good, do not by themselves make work safe, services conforming, or an organisation compliant or certifiable. All examples, figures, organisations and worked content in the Template are fictitious and illustrative only.

2. No professional advice, no advisor relationship

The Template is not legal advice, work health and safety advice, consulting advice, certification advice, or professional advice of any kind, and your use of it does not create any advisor–client, consultant–client, or fiduciary relationship with the Provider. Any consulting services are governed solely by a separate written engagement, and nothing in the Template forms part of, or varies, such an engagement.

Duties under work health and safety law, and all other legal duties, rest with your organisation and its officers and cannot be transferred to the Template or the Provider. The Template deliberately ships with no jurisdiction-specific legal content: every legal reference, obligation, notification duty, retention period and similar item must be identified and verified by you against authoritative sources for your jurisdiction before reliance. Placeholder text, unresolved decision markers and unadapted generic content are not fit for operational use, and using them as if they were is use contrary to these terms.

4. No warranty

The Template is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty, condition, representation or guarantee of any kind, express or implied — to the maximum extent permitted by law this includes, without limitation, any warranty of accuracy, completeness, currency, quality, fitness for any particular purpose, non-infringement, or compliance with any law or standard. Without limiting that: the Provider does not warrant or guarantee that use of the Template will result in conformity with ISO 9001:2015 or ISO 45001:2018, a successful audit outcome, certification, or compliance with any legal requirement. Audit and certification outcomes depend on how your organisation implements and operates its system.

5. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Provider excludes all liability to you or any third party for any loss or damage of any kind arising out of or in connection with the Template or its use, however caused (including negligence), including direct, indirect, incidental, special and consequential loss, loss of profit or revenue, business interruption, loss of data, regulatory penalties, and audit or certification outcomes. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, it is limited, at the Provider's option, to re-supply of the Template or payment of the amount paid for it (which, for a template supplied free of charge, is nil), and in any event is limited to the maximum extent the law allows. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified, including any non-excludable consumer guarantee.

6. Your responsibility for adoption

Nothing in the Template has any effect in your organisation until your own authorised people have reviewed, adapted and formally approved it through your own document control process. You are solely responsible for the suitability of everything you adopt, for training and resourcing its operation, for the records your organisation keeps, and for every decision recorded in response to the Template's decision markers and questionnaire.

7. AI-assisted content

Portions of the Template, and of instance content drafted from your questionnaire answers, may be produced with the assistance of artificial intelligence tools. Such content requires — and is expressly conditioned on — human review and approval by your organisation before use. The Provider does not warrant AI-assisted output.

8. Standards and trademarks

ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 are copyrighted works of the International Organization for Standardization. The Template does not reproduce their text, and using the Template does not substitute for holding your own licensed copies, which conformity work requires. "ISO" and related marks belong to their owners. The Provider and the Template are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or certified by ISO or any certification body.

9. Third-party platforms

The Template is designed to be operated on third-party platforms (for example GitHub and Airtable). Those services are governed by their own terms, pricing and availability, for which the Provider is not responsible.

10. No support or updates

The Provider may update the Template at any time but has no obligation to provide updates, corrections, maintenance or support, or to notify you of changes or of errors discovered after you take a copy.

11. Retention of this notice

This page must be retained, unmodified except for recording the adopting organisation's name and date of adoption, in every copy, fork and instance of the Template for as long as material derived from the Template is in use. It may be relocated within a repository but not removed.

12. General

If any part of these terms is unenforceable, the remainder continues in force. These terms are the entire terms for the free supply of the Template; any signed written agreement between you and the Provider prevails over them to the extent of any inconsistency. These terms are governed by the laws of [PROVIDER: governing jurisdiction], and the courts of that jurisdiction have exclusive jurisdiction.
