Part A: Using this website

By using this website you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

• The content on this site is owned by us or our licensors and is provided for general information. You may view and print it for your own use, but you may not reproduce or reuse it commercially without our permission.
• The instant estimate is an indicative starting point only. It is not a quote, an offer, or a binding price. A firm price is confirmed in writing once we understand the full scope.
• We work to keep the site available and accurate, but we do not guarantee it will always be available, uninterrupted, or free of errors.
• The site may link to other websites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content.

Part B: Working with us

These terms apply when you engage us to provide services, alongside the specific scope and price we agree with you in writing for each piece of work.

• Quotes and scope. We confirm the scope, deliverables and price of each engagement in writing before we start. Work outside that scope is quoted separately.
• Fees and payment. Fees are as set out in your quote. Unless we agree otherwise, we may ask for a deposit before starting. Invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date, and retainers are billed monthly in advance. Apeiron XXV Ltd is not registered for VAT, so no VAT is charged on our fees. If we become VAT registered, VAT will be added at the prevailing rate from the date of registration. If an invoice is overdue, we may charge interest and compensation under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
• Revisions. The number of revision rounds is stated in your quote. Further rounds are chargeable.
• Your responsibilities. You agree to give us accurate information and timely feedback. Delays or inaccurate information can affect timelines and outcomes.
• Bids and tenders. We prepare and support bids to a high standard, but we cannot and do not guarantee that any bid, tender or application will be successful. The award decision rests with the contracting authority.
• Compliance and documentation. This is practical business support, not regulated legal advice. For legal advice you should consult a qualified solicitor.
• Growth and financial support. Business growth and cash flow support is practical and commercial. It is not regulated financial, investment or accountancy advice.
• Specialist work. Where a piece of work needs a specialist, for example complex design, development or integration, we may refer it to a partner, and we will tell you before we do.

Intellectual property

Once you have paid in full for an engagement, the final deliverables we create specifically for you belong to you. We keep ownership of our own methods, templates and know-how, and of anything licensed from third parties, which we may reuse.

Confidentiality

We treat your business information as confidential and use it only to deliver the work, except where we must disclose it by law. We ask the same of you regarding our materials and pricing.

Our responsibility to you

We will provide our services with reasonable care and skill. To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any engagement is limited to the fees you have paid us for that engagement, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for loss of profit, contracts or opportunity. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

Ending an engagement

Either of us may end an engagement in writing. If you end it partway through, you pay for the work done up to that point. For ongoing monthly retainers, after the initial 3-month minimum term, either side may end the retainer with 30 days’ written notice.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
