2Other Terms That May Apply

These Terms cover your use of the website only. When you engage us to provide services, those services are governed by our separate proposal, engagement letter or service agreement (your “Service Agreement”). If there is any conflict between these Terms and your Service Agreement, the Service Agreement will apply.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we use personal data, including information collected through the website and cookies.

3Our Services

We provide HR support and advice, employment law advice, health and safety consultancy, payroll services, and commercial legal support to businesses. Information about our services on the website is a general description only and does not form an offer. Any services are subject to agreement of a Service Agreement.

Our legal services are limited to non-reserved legal activities. Where a matter needs a reserved legal activity, such as conducting litigation or rights of audience in court, we will tell you and may refer you to an appropriately authorised provider.

4Our Services Are for Businesses

The website and our services are intended for use by businesses and organisations, not consumers. By using the website to enquire about or buy our services, you confirm that you are acting in the course of a business.

5No Legal or Professional Advice

The content on the website, including our articles, guides, calculators and checklists, is general information only. It is not legal, HR, tax, health and safety or other professional advice, and it does not create a client relationship with us.

Employment law and related rules change often, and every situation is different. You should get specific advice before acting, or deciding not to act, on anything on the website. We do not accept liability for any loss arising from reliance on website content.

Any figures or results from calculators or tools on the website are estimates only and should be checked before being relied on.

6Using the Website

You may use the website for lawful purposes only. You must not:

• use the website in any way that breaks any law or regulation, or is fraudulent or harmful
• copy, reproduce, distribute or commercially exploit website content without our written permission, except as allowed below
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its server or any connected system
• introduce viruses, malware or other harmful material, or attack the website through a denial-of-service attack
• use automated tools to scrape, collect or extract data from the website
• submit false, misleading or spam enquiries

We may suspend or restrict access to the website, or block any user, at our discretion.

7Intellectual Property

We own, or are licensed to use, all intellectual property rights in the website and its content, including text, graphics, logos, images, design and software. The names Clearpath UK and Clearpath Legal Solutions and our logos are our trade names and marks.

You may view and print pages from the website for your own internal business use, and share links to our pages. You must not modify any content, use any images separately from the text that goes with them, or remove any copyright or ownership notice. You must not use our names or logos without our written permission.

8Accuracy and Availability

We make reasonable efforts to keep the website accurate and up to date, but we do not guarantee that its content is complete, accurate or current. We may change or remove content at any time without notice.

The website is provided free of charge on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or free from errors or viruses. You are responsible for protecting your own devices and systems.

9Links to Other Websites

The website may contain links to websites and resources provided by third parties, such as government guidance, regulators and social media. These links are provided for information only. We have no control over those websites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.

10Enquiries and Communications

When you submit an enquiry, you confirm that the information you give is accurate and that you are authorised to provide it. Submitting an enquiry does not create a client relationship, and we may decline any enquiry. Please do not send us confidential or sensitive information until we have agreed to act for you.

Calls and chats may be recorded or kept for quality, training and record-keeping purposes, as explained in our Privacy Policy.

11Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by law:

• we exclude all conditions, warranties and representations, whether express or implied, that may apply to the website or its content
• we will not be liable to you for any loss or damage, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, arising from your use of, or inability to use, the website, or your reliance on any of its content
• in particular, we will not be liable for loss of profits, sales, business or revenue, business interruption, loss of anticipated savings, loss of business opportunity, goodwill or reputation, loss or corruption of data, or any indirect or consequential loss

Our liability in connection with services we provide is set out in your Service Agreement.

12Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against any claims, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the website.

13Events Outside Our Control

We will not be responsible for any failure or delay in making the website available caused by events outside our reasonable control, including internet or telecommunications failures, cyber attacks, power cuts, or actions of third-party providers.

14Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. The latest version will always be on this page, with the effective date shown at the top. Please check this page from time to time. Your continued use of the website after changes are published means you accept them.

15General

• Severance: if any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest will continue in full force.
• No waiver: if we delay or do not enforce any right under these Terms, that does not mean we have waived it.

• Transfer: we may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation.
• Entire agreement: these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about your use of the website.
