SERVICE

Basis of Contract
This Agreement is entered into between the Supplier and Businesses who are registered for the Service of the Website. Services as detailed below will be offered to a Business subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the Service of the Supplier and supersedes all previous agreements, communications, or representations, either verbal or written between the Parties. Any oral understandings are expressly excluded.

Services
The nature of the Supplier's Service is to provide a search and selection engine to enable Consumers to request Quotes for services required and therefore for Businesses to obtain requests for Quotes for their services from a number of Consumers via the Website. Businesses acknowledge and accept that the Supplier merely offers an introduction service and gives no assurance that any Consumer will request a Quote from registered Businesses, nor accept any Quotes provided.

Businesses will endeavour to respond to requests for Quotes within 24 hours either with a reply to the Consumer or by selecting the 'No Thanks' option. In any case, the Business will respond within a reasonable time period to ensure the efficiency of the Service.

It is the responsibility of the Business to ensure that the contact details provided through registration on the Website and subsequently updated business profile are correct and operative.

Links
The Supplier may provide links from the Website to other websites that are owned and controlled by third parties. These links are provided for the Business' and Consumers' convenience and the Supplier has no control and therefore has no liability in respect of those websites.

Ad Panels
Ad Panels on this Website are usually placed in random order within the selected service category. Depending on the number of Ad Panels for a particular service category, they may run over several web pages on the Website. Businesses may pay to have their Ad Panel higher up the list. The Supplier gives no warranties or endorsement of any Business, without exception. The fact that an Ad Panel appears higher up on a list should not to be construed as endorsing that Business or suggesting that their service is of a better quality, price or reputation than any other Business or other service provider.

It is the responsibility of the Business to ensure that the content of their Ad Panel is accurate, complete and current.

TERMS

Commencement and Duration
The commencement date of Service will be the date the first payment of annual subscription fee is paid upon registration. The duration of each subscription is one calendar year from the date of payment.

The Agreement will be automatically renewed on an annual basis by payment of subsequent annual subscription fees, paid through PayPal on each subsequent anniversary until such time as the Business cancels the subscription. This Agreement will therefore continue until terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (see Termination clause below).

Fees
The current fee for an annual subscription is £10 first payable on the day of registration. The Supplier reserves the right to review this subscription fee from time to time. Should the fee be varied, the Business will be notified and will retain the right to terminate this Agreement before the next subscription fee is due, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (see Termination clause below).

Quotations of fees payable for other services of the Supplier, such as the provision of advertising space, are available on request to the Supplier.

All fees paid are non-refundable.

Use of Service
The Business agrees to use this Website in good faith and in accordance with the guidelines provided by the Supplier. Any abuse or misuse of the Website and its Service will be considered a breach of this Agreement and will be valid grounds for Termination without notice. This includes but is not limited to using the Website for any unlawful purpose or in contravention of applicable law, for commercial exploitation without the Supplier's express written consent, or for any purpose or in any manner that may give a false or misleading impression of the Supplier, its employees or its Service. The Business must not use, upload or transmit any material that is defamatory, offensive, obscene or otherwise unlawful, or which may cause offence or distress or which may affect or infringe the rights of any other person. The Business must not use, upload or transmit any device, software, file or mechanism which may interfere with the proper operation of the Website or the Supplier's systems, or do anything that may interfere with or disrupt the Website and its Service.

The Business must not encourage or permit others to abuse or misuse the Website and its Service, including those listed above.

In the event that the above restrictions are not complied with, in addition to the Termination clause in this Agreement, the Supplier may pursue a claim against the offender for any loss, damage or costs (including legal costs) suffered as a result of the breach.

Right to Suspend Services
The Supplier reserves the right to suspend the provision of Service to a Business who abuses or misuses the Website. In this unlikely event, the Business will be immediately notified via their nominated email address. The Business has the right to appeal such a decision and the Supplier will revoke the suspension if they are completely satisfied that the Business will cease to abuse or misuse the Website and its Services.

The Supplier reserves the right to suspend the provision of services to a Business if the Supplier suspects or has actual knowledge that the Business is operating unacceptable or illegal business practices. This may include but is not limited to reports from a Consumer or an organisation of such an allegation. The Business has the right to appeal such a decision and the Supplier will revoke the suspension if they are completely satisfied that there is no substance to the suspicion or report.

Termination
Termination with Notice
Termination can be initiated by either party with 30 days written notice prior to the renewal date of a Subscription Period and the Agreement will therefore cease on the renewal date. Should a Business wish to terminate this Agreement and their registration for the Website and the Supplier's Service during a Subscription Period, they can do so with 14 days written notice, but in doing so they surrender the remaining subscription fee paid. All fees paid are non-refundable.

Grounds for Termination without Notice
The Supplier reserves the right to terminate this Agreement with immediate effect upon written notice should the Business become bankrupt, insolvent, go into receivership or liquidation or substantially breach this Agreement. All fees are non-refundable.

Force Majeure
The Supplier may suspend its Services and any contractual obligations without penalty in such circumstances that are outside the control of the Supplier. They will nevertheless endeavour to restore Service as soon as reasonably possible.

Relationship of the Parties
The relationship of the parties to this Agreement is that of independent contractors. Neither Supplier nor Business will represent themselves as being an agent of the other party, nor make any representations or commitments on behalf of the other party. Neither party has the authority or power to bind the other, to contract in the name of, or create liability against, the other in any way or for any purpose.

Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as conferring any license or right with respect to any trademark, trade or brand name, the business name or abbreviation of either party.

Furthermore, the Supplier does not specifically endorse any Business registered to potential Consumers.

Exclusion of Liability
The nature of the Supplier's operation as an introductory service results in their obligations ending at the point of a Business and a Consumer making contact. At such time, the contracting parties (Business and Consumer) must make their own agreement of business arrangements. The Supplier excludes all liability for any subsequent contractual arrangements. This Agreement is strictly intended to be agreed between the Business and the Supplier upon the Business' registration. Agreements made between Supplier and Consumer are independent of this Agreement.

In addition, the Supplier accepts no liability for the actions or failure to act of Consumers who register for the website and use the Service. Although any complaints or claims should be made directly to the Consumer concerned, the Supplier encourages Businesses to report such conduct to the Supplier so that possible action can be taken on the basis of such a report, if appropriate (see Feedback, Enquiries and Complaints section).

Under no circumstances does the Supplier accept liability for loss or damage (special, indirect, exemplary, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, including, but not limited to loss of revenue or profits) howsoever caused, whether direct or indirect, and whether caused by or resulting from any act, omission, default or negligence of the Supplier, either in contract or tort. No claim or action for any such loss or damage shall be brought by the Business against the Supplier. The remedies available are set out and are limited by this Agreement and are in lieu of any other such rights, claims or remedies.

Variation
The terms and conditions of this Agreement may vary from time to time at the discretion of the Supplier due to the changing business environment. In such circumstances, the Supplier will distribute the new terms and conditions via nominated email addresses to all Businesses who are party to the Agreement as full notification. Should a Business object to the new terms and conditions they must notify the Supplier within 14 days of receipt of notification, otherwise they will be deemed to have accepted the new terms and conditions. In the event that a Business objects to a provision in the new terms and conditions, the Parties will enter into negotiation to a revision to the terms and conditions to be effective until the next renewal date. In the unlikely event that an agreement is not reached, the Agreement will be deemed as terminated.

Waiver
No delay or decision not to enforce rights under these terms and conditions will constitute a waiver of the right to do so and will not affect rights in relation to any subsequent breach.

Assignment
The provisions of this Agreement will not be assigned or transferred to any other person, firm or company without the express written consent of the other Party, except where there is a sale or transfer of either business.

Third Party Rights
No party other than the Supplier and Business who are party to this Agreement may benefit from or enforce the provisions contained herein. Nothing in these terms and conditions is intended to confer a benefit on a third party under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 and a person who is not party to these terms and conditions has no right to enforce them.

Licence Terms
The Website, its design and construction, brand identity, any materials on it and other intellectual property are owned wholly and exclusively by the Supplier. The Business is permitted to display the Website on a computer screen and to print hard copy of screens for its personal use for the purpose of obtaining and managing Quotes only, and this is conditional on agreement that the Business does not alter or remove any of the content or any part of the Website without the Suppliers' express written consent.

The Business agrees not to copy, reproduce, store (in any medium or format), distribute, transmit, modify, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, create derivate works from all or any part of this Website, the software or the materials on it or provided to them through it without the Supplier's prior express written consent (which may be given or withheld at the Supplier's absolute discretion).

The Business is not permitted to establish a link to the Website from any other Website, intranet or extranet site without the Supplier's express written consent.

Disclaimer
The Supplier does not warrant or represent that the information and material on the Website is accurate, complete or current or that the Website will be free of defects or viruses.

The Supplier takes care to ensure that all information on the Website is accurate, complete and current. Nevertheless, in the unlikely circumstances that information is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date, the Supplier accepts no liability for reliance on this information. If a Business is aware of such an event, they are encouraged to contact the Supplier who will rectify the error at its earliest convenience. The Supplier reserves the right to change information on the Website at any time.

Feedback, Enquiries and Complaints
The Supplier encourages Businesses to provide feedback and enquiries via the website (preferably), or alternate contact details as provided in the Contacts section of the Website. In such circumstances that the Business needs to make a complaint to the Supplier, then the above contact method is available for this purpose. The Supplier will endeavour to respond to correspondence through the Website within 48 hours, but provides that this may be extended should there be unprecedented demand.

The Supplier may, from time to time, invite Businesses to give feedback on the Service and the subsequent business generated by the use of the Website. In such an event the Business acknowledges that the Supplier may publish such feedback (although remaining anonymous unless express written consent is given by the Business) and as such, the Business agrees that the Supplier owns all intellectual property rights to the information.

Security
Internet transmissions are never completely private or secure and there is a risk, therefore, that any message or information the Business sends to the Supplier through the Website may be intercepted and potentially read by others. The Supplier will have no liability in respect of any transmissions sent and the business does so entirely at their own risk. Please note however that payments made through PayPal are protected by the security of the PayPal site in accordance with their security policy.

Privacy
Reference should be made to the Supplier's Privacy Policy which can be found on the Website. By the Business providing personal details to the Supplier they are authorising the Supplier to disclose relevant information about the Business in accordance with the Privacy Policy. Although not forming part of this Agreement, the Supplier considers its customers' privacy of high importance.

Confidentiality
If a Business does not take the opportunity to provide a Quote in response to a request for Quote from a Consumer, or decline a Quote request, they must not use the Consumer's information to contact them about any other service or any other purpose. This will only change if the Consumer has given express written consent for the Business to contact them for another purpose. Business agrees not to pass on Consumers' information to a third party without the express written consent of the Consumer. If a Business provides a Quote to a Consumer, the Supplier's Service of introduction concludes and the contracting parties (Businesses and Consumers) must make their own agreement for use of information.

Neither Supplier nor Business will disclose to a third party (except in performing this Agreement) any information or data of a confidential or proprietary nature of the other party that it becomes aware of, except as required by law. In the case of the latter, reasonable notice will be provided to the other party so that they can make necessary arrangements with other professionals.

Any correspondence between a Business and the Supplier will be treated in confidence and such contents must not be disclosed to a third party unless there is express written consent from both the Business and the Supplier.

Law and Jurisdiction
This Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales as a contract made in England.

The Supplier makes no claims or representations that any or all of the content of this Website may be lawfully viewed or downloaded outside England and Wales. The Website is directed solely at users who access the Website from England and Wales. If a Business chooses to access the website from outside of England and Wales, they do so at their own risk and are responsible for compliance with the laws of the relevant jurisdiction.
