LEGAL & TERMS

Welcome to this website. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree with them, please discontinue use of the website.

Website content

All content on this website, including but not limited to photographs, product imagery, renders, sketches, illustrations, drawings, CAD imagery, text, graphics, logos, case studies and other creative material, is owned by or licensed to the business operating this website, unless otherwise stated.

This material is provided for portfolio, informational and promotional purposes. It may not be copied, reproduced, modified, distributed, published, commercially exploited or used to create derivative works without prior written permission.

Some projects shown on this website may have been undertaken for clients or in collaboration with other organisations. Where applicable, ownership of the underlying intellectual property may belong to the relevant client or third party. The appearance of such work on this website does not transfer any intellectual property rights to the viewer.

Accuracy of information

Reasonable care is taken to ensure that information presented on this website is accurate and current. However, the website is provided for general information and portfolio purposes, and no guarantee is given that all content will always be complete, accurate, current or free from errors.

Project descriptions, images and technical information may represent work at a particular stage of development and should not necessarily be interpreted as representing a final production product or commercially available specification.

Website content may be amended, updated or removed at any time without notice.

Industrial and product design services

Information presented on this website about industrial and product design services is intended as a general description of capabilities and does not constitute a binding offer to provide services.

The scope, deliverables, fees, timescales, intellectual property arrangements and other conditions relating to a specific project will be agreed separately with the client.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, design development, engineering, prototyping, manufacturing, testing, certification, regulatory approval and production activities are separate stages of a product development process.

Where design or development services are provided, no guarantee is given that a particular concept, design or product will be technically feasible, commercially successful, manufacturable at a particular cost, or suitable for a particular market or application unless such outcomes have been expressly agreed as part of the relevant project scope.

Responsibility for final product specification, testing, certification, regulatory compliance, manufacturing approval and suitability for the intended use remains with the client and/or the relevant manufacturer or specialist consultant, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Client information and materials

Where a client provides drawings, specifications, photographs, CAD files, technical information, intellectual property or other materials for use in a project, the client remains responsible for ensuring that the necessary rights and permissions have been obtained.

Client-provided information will be used for the purposes of carrying out the agreed services and handled with reasonable care.

Intellectual property

Intellectual property rights relating to a specific client project will be governed by the terms agreed for that project.

Unless expressly transferred or licensed to a client in writing, pre-existing intellectual property, design methods, processes, know-how, templates, tools, techniques and other materials developed independently of the client's project remain the property of the business.

Any transfer of intellectual property rights is subject to the terms of the relevant client agreement and, where applicable, settlement of all outstanding fees.

Portfolio and project representation

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, completed projects may be referenced in professional portfolios, websites, social media, presentations or other promotional material.

Reasonable care will be taken not to disclose confidential information or commercially sensitive details identified as confidential by the client.

Where a project is subject to confidentiality restrictions or a non-disclosure agreement, those restrictions will take precedence.

Prototypes, concepts and development work

Concepts, sketches, CAD models, prototypes and other development materials may be produced for evaluation and design-development purposes.

Unless specifically agreed otherwise, prototypes and development models are not intended to be treated as certified, production-ready or suitable for use in safety-critical applications.

Physical prototypes may contain temporary, experimental or non-production components and should not be relied upon for final product performance without appropriate engineering validation, testing and approval.

Third-party services and suppliers

Product development may involve manufacturers, engineers, prototyping companies, suppliers, consultants or other third parties.

Where third-party services are used, their own terms, capabilities, lead times, pricing and responsibilities may apply. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the business is not responsible for delays, defects, failures or changes arising from third-party suppliers or services outside reasonable control.

Links to other websites

This website may contain links to third-party websites or services. These links are provided for convenience and do not constitute an endorsement of their content, products or services.

The business is not responsible for the content, availability, security or privacy practices of external websites.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, the business will not be responsible for losses arising from reliance on information contained on this website or from the website being unavailable, interrupted or affected by technical issues.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

Any limitation of liability relating specifically to professional services provided to a client will be governed by the terms of the relevant client agreement.

Changes to these terms

These Terms & Conditions may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the business, website or legal requirements.

Any revised version will be published on this page and will apply from the date it is posted.

Governing law

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes relating to these Terms & Conditions will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
