BOTTOM LINE:
We provide a professional marketing strategy tool and Generated Content that we own but license to you for your specific book. You're responsible for execution, legal compliance, and understanding that results vary. Your content must meet our content standards, and you can't share or repurpose the Playbook materials beyond their intended use.
And now, without further ado, the complete version, which we suspect you won't read (thus, the TLDR version), but we really and sincerely hope you do — if for no other reason than to make our lawyers (and yours) feel happy and fulfilled ...
