Terms of Use

This website is operated by Legalbuild Ltd ("Legalbuild", "we", "us" or "our"). Legalbuild Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") apply whenever you access or use this website (the "Site").

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to them, you should not use the Site.

These Terms apply to the public website and its content. They do not replace, vary or form part of any engagement letter, retainer, appointment, consultancy agreement or other terms governing professional services provided by Legalbuild.

Our Privacy Notice explains how we process personal data and use cookies and similar technologies.

Content on the Site is provided for general information and professional commentary only. It is not legal advice and should not be treated as a substitute for advice on the facts and circumstances of a particular matter.

Construction contracts, commercial positions, claims and disputes are fact-sensitive. The relevance or effect of information published on the Site may depend on the contract, project records, applicable law, procedural requirements and other circumstances.

Accessing the Site, reading its content, contacting Legalbuild through the Site or receiving a response to a general enquiry does not, by itself, create a client, consultant, adviser or other professional relationship.

A professional relationship arises only where Legalbuild has expressly agreed to accept an instruction or engagement on applicable written terms.

Legalbuild provides construction contract, commercial and dispute-related consultancy services. Any services we agree to provide are governed by the specific scope, terms, assumptions, exclusions, fees and other conditions agreed for that engagement.

If there is any inconsistency between these website Terms and the written terms of a professional engagement, the engagement terms govern the services provided under that engagement.

Unless stated otherwise, Legalbuild owns or is licensed to use the intellectual property rights in the Site and its content, including text, analysis, graphics, branding, logos, layouts, design elements, documents and other materials.

You may view, download or print reasonable extracts for your own internal, personal or professional reference. You must not reproduce, republish, distribute, commercially exploit, modify, scrape, systematically extract or create derivative materials from Site content without prior written permission where permission is required.

Legalbuild's status, and that of any identified contributors, as authors of relevant content must not be removed or obscured.

You may use the Site for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these Terms. You may navigate the Site, read its content, submit genuine enquiries and make reasonable use of materials made available for viewing or download.

The Site is principally directed at business and professional users interested in Legalbuild, its services and construction-sector commentary.

You must not use the Site:

• in breach of any applicable law or regulation;
• for any fraudulent, unlawful, misleading or harmful purpose;
• to interfere with, damage or disrupt the Site, its hosting environment or related systems;
• to introduce malicious code, viruses, automated attacks or other technically harmful material;
• to gain or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, server, systems or data;
• to impersonate Legalbuild or misrepresent any association with Legalbuild; or
• to use Site content in a way that infringes intellectual property or other rights.

You may link to public pages on the Site in a fair and lawful way that does not damage Legalbuild's reputation or suggest an association, approval or endorsement where none exists.

You must not frame the Site on another website or create a link from a website that is unlawful, misleading or materially inconsistent with these Terms. We may withdraw linking permission where reasonably necessary.

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, publications, platforms or resources. Those links are provided for information or convenience only.

Legalbuild does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their availability, content, security, privacy practices or terms. A link does not necessarily amount to endorsement of the third party or its content.

We aim to keep the Site available and operating appropriately, but we do not guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free or free from delay.

We may suspend, withdraw, restrict, modify or discontinue any part of the Site where reasonably required for maintenance, security, operational, technical or business reasons.

We take reasonable measures intended to support the security of the Site. However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure or free from harmful components.

You are responsible for configuring your own devices, software and systems appropriately and for using suitable security and virus-protection measures.

We seek to present information that is useful and current when published, but Site content may become incomplete, outdated or inapplicable as law, market conditions, projects, contractual practices and other circumstances change.

We do not warrant that Site content is complete, accurate or suitable for any particular purpose. You should obtain appropriate advice and review the relevant underlying documents before acting or refraining from acting in reliance on Site content.

To the extent permitted by law, Legalbuild excludes warranties, conditions and representations that may otherwise apply to the Site or its content.

Subject to the matters that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, Legalbuild is not responsible for loss or damage arising solely from use of, inability to use, or reliance on the Site or its general content, including indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, loss of anticipated savings or loss of goodwill.

Any liability arising from professional services supplied by Legalbuild is governed by the applicable written engagement terms rather than this website liability section.

Our Privacy Notice explains how Legalbuild collects, uses, stores and protects personal data and describes the cookies and similar technologies used on the Site.

You can review or change your non-essential cookie choices at any time by selecting Cookies in the website footer.

We may revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the Site, our business, our services, technology, legal requirements or the way the Site is operated.

The current version will be published on this page. The date shown as Last updated indicates when these Terms were most recently revised. Your continued use of the Site after an updated version is published is subject to the version then in force.
