Using our website

You can access and view our website content and interact with our website’s features as long as you follow a few rules:

  • You may not access or interact with our website or any of the systems and technologies underpinning it in a way that is unlawful or unauthorised, or for any unlawful or unauthorised purpose.
  • Except for incidental temporary copies which your browser creates automatically when you access our website, you may not copy any of our website’s content or code.
  • You may not distribute any of our website’s content or code to other people.
  • You may not frame our website or any part of it, or otherwise use or present it or any of its content or code in a manner suggesting an association or state of affairs that does not in fact exist.
  • We have built our website to comply with the laws of the United Kingdom. If you’re using or accessing it from outside the United Kingdom, compliance with local laws is your responsibility.

We do not promise that our website will always be available or always functional.

We reserve the right to change, withdraw, suspend or block access to our website or any part of it at any time and for any reason.

Use of personal data on our website

We have deliberately designed our website to gather very little personal data. Our privacy notice describes in more detail the personal data we process when you access and use our website, and explains your rights and how to exercise them.

Ownership

All of the intellectual property rights in our website, its content and its code belong to us and our licensors. Nothing in these terms grants you any licences or other legal rights in our website, its content or its code beyond what it necessary to access, view and interact with it as authorised and as intended.

“Tacit Legal” is our trade mark, use of which is prohibited without our prior written permission.

Accuracy of information

We try to ensure that the information presented on our website is accurate and up-to-date, but we do not guarantee it. In particular, nothing published on our website is legal advice or otherwise advice to be relied upon.

Our liability

If we breach these terms or are negligent, we are liable to you for foreseeable loss or damage that you suffer as a result. By ‘foreseeable’ we mean that, at the time the agreement governed by these terms was formed, it was either clear that such loss or damage would occur or you and we both knew that it might reasonably occur, as a result of something we did (or failed to do).

We are not liable to you for any loss or damage that was not foreseeable, any loss or damage not caused by our breach or negligence, or any business or professional loss or damage, nor for any failure to comply with these terms because of circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for any death or personal injury caused by our negligence, liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that the law does not allow us to exclude or limit.

No one other than you and us has any right to enforce these terms.

Changes to these terms

We reserve the right to vary these terms from time to time. We will post updated terms on our website and by continuing to access, view or interact with our website you agree to be bound by those updated terms. Otherwise, no variation of these terms will be valid unless we specifically agree it with you in writing (and exchange of emails alone is not sufficient for that purpose).

Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of England, except that if you are a consumer resident elsewhere you will retain the benefit of any mandatory protections given to you by the laws of that country.

Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these terms are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. If you are a consumer then you can choose whether to bring a claim in the courts of England and Wales or in the courts of the part of the United Kingdom or EU member state where you live. If you are not a consumer, then the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales is exclusive.
