Website Terms of Use

1. About these terms

These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the VS & N website. By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the website.

2. About VS & N

This website is operated by VS & N Limited, a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 16405534.

3. Website purpose and no professional advice

The website provides general information about VS & N, its capabilities, sectors and activities. Its content is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute engineering, environmental, technical, legal, tax, financial, investment or other professional advice.

Specific projects require appropriate investigation, professional assessment, due diligence and separately agreed written terms. You should obtain suitable professional advice before acting or refraining from acting on website content.

4. No offer or commitment

Nothing on the website constitutes a binding offer, quotation, warranty, commitment or guarantee by VS & N Limited. No contract is created by visiting the website, submitting an enquiry or discussing a potential opportunity. Any engagement is subject to separately agreed written terms.

5. No partnership, agency or joint venture

References to a "partner", "partnership" or "collaboration", including job titles such as "Managing Partner", describe commercial or professional roles and cooperation only. Nothing on the website creates or implies a legal partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary relationship or authority for one party to bind another. Any formal relationship is governed exclusively by separately agreed written terms.

6. Accuracy and changes

We take reasonable care when preparing website content, but do not guarantee that all information is complete, accurate, current, error-free or suitable for a particular purpose. We may change, suspend or remove website content without notice.

7. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the website and its original content, including text, branding, graphics, designs and other materials, are owned by or licensed to VS & N Limited.

You may view and print reasonable extracts for personal or internal business reference. You must not reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, commercially exploit, frame, scrape or systematically extract website content without our prior written permission, except where permitted by law.

Third-party names, trademarks, photographs and materials remain the property of their respective owners. No licence to use any trademark is granted by these terms.

8. Acceptable use

You must not:

• use the website unlawfully, fraudulently or in a way that harms another person;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, server or related systems;
• introduce malware, malicious code or harmful technology;
• interfere with the website's operation, availability, performance or security;
• scrape, mine or systematically extract website content or data without permission;
• misrepresent your identity or relationship with VS & N; or
• use the website or its content in a way that infringes intellectual-property, privacy or other rights.

9. Enquiries and information submitted

You are responsible for ensuring that information submitted through the website is accurate, lawful and not misleading.

The general contact form is not intended as a secure channel for confidential, commercially sensitive, export-controlled or legally privileged information. Do not submit such information unless appropriate confidentiality and security arrangements have first been agreed in writing.

Submitting an enquiry does not oblige VS & N to accept, assess or proceed with a proposed project, transaction or opportunity.

10. External links and third-party content

The website may contain links to third-party websites or services. They are provided for information and convenience only and do not necessarily indicate endorsement. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, availability, security or privacy practices of third-party websites or services.

11. Website availability and security

We aim to keep the website available and secure but do not guarantee uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free access. We may suspend, restrict or withdraw any part of the website for maintenance, security, operational or other reasons.

You are responsible for configuring your devices and systems to access the website safely and for using appropriate security protection. We do not guarantee that the website or material accessible through it will always be free from viruses or other harmful components.

12. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where exclusion or limitation would be unlawful, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Subject to the preceding paragraph and to the fullest extent permitted by law, VS & N Limited excludes warranties, conditions and representations that may otherwise be implied in relation to this informational website. We will not be liable for loss arising solely from reliance on general website content, temporary unavailability, third-party websites or services, or events beyond our reasonable control.

For business users, VS & N Limited will not be liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, revenue, business, contracts, opportunity, anticipated savings, goodwill or data arising from use of, or inability to use, the website. If you are a consumer, these terms do not affect any mandatory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

13. Privacy and cookies

Our collection and use of personal information is explained in our Privacy Notice. Our use of cookies and similar technologies is explained in our Cookie Policy and Cookie Settings panel.

14. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms and any non-contractual dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction, except that a consumer resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom retains any mandatory right to bring proceedings in the courts of their home jurisdiction.

15. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, it will be treated as modified to the minimum extent necessary or, where modification is not possible, removed. The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

16. No waiver and third-party rights

A delay or failure by VS & N to enforce a provision does not waive that provision or any other right. No person other than VS & N Limited and the website user has any right to enforce these terms.

17. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms from time to time. The updated version will be published on this page with its revision date. The version in force when you use the website applies to that use, subject to applicable law.
