Terms of use

1. What this document covers

These terms govern your use of the website published at vexbe.co.uk, including every page on it and any file you download from it. They are a contract between you and VEXBE LTD.

They do not govern consultancy work. If VEXBE LTD carries out work for you, that work is governed by a separate written agreement, described in section 9. Nothing on this website, and nothing in this document, forms part of that agreement or varies it.

Read these terms before you use the site. If you do not accept them, please leave the site.

2. Who we are

VEXBE LTD is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales under company number 17005285. Our registered office is 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom.

In these terms, "we", "us" and "our" mean VEXBE LTD. "You" and "your" mean the person using the site.

Officer details are held on the public register maintained by Companies House against company number 17005285. We do not reproduce them here.

We are an information technology consultancy. We are not a regulated financial services firm, we are not a law firm, and we are not an accountancy practice. We have no connection with any other organisation trading under a similar name.

3. Accepting these terms

By using the site you accept these terms and agree to be bound by them. Acceptance happens by use, so there is no button to press and no account to create.

If you are using the site on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organisation, and these terms bind it as well as you.

You must be at least 18 years old to use the site. The site is written for people evaluating a business supplier and holds nothing directed at children.

4. What this website is, and what it is not

The site is a description of a consultancy practice. Its purpose is to let a prospective client understand what kind of work we take on, how we work, and how to start a conversation.

The site is not an offer capable of acceptance. Nothing on it is a quotation, a proposal, a commitment to be available, a commitment to a price, or a warranty about an outcome. Descriptions of method, capability or commercial shape are descriptions of how we normally work, not promises about how a specific engagement will run.

The company was incorporated in 2026 and the site describes the practice as it is today. Where a page says that something is not yet in place, that statement is accurate and is not a placeholder for something we intend to claim later.

5. Your permission to use the site

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access the site and to view, print and store its pages for your own information, and for the purpose of evaluating us as a supplier.

That licence lasts while you comply with these terms. It gives you no rights beyond viewing and internally circulating the material. It does not transfer ownership of anything.

You may quote a short passage from the site, and link to any page on it, provided you do so accurately, do not present the material as your own, do not imply an endorsement or a business relationship that does not exist, and do not frame the site inside another site in a way that obscures its origin.

6. Things you must not do

You must not:

• copy, republish, sell, rent, sub-licence or commercially exploit any part of the site;
• scrape, harvest or systematically extract content from the site by automated means, or use it to build or train a dataset or model, except that a search engine may index the site in the ordinary way;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, to the server it runs on, or to any connected system;
• probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the site or any related infrastructure without our prior written permission;
• introduce a virus, worm, logic bomb or other material that is malicious or technologically harmful;
• attack the site by denial of service or distributed denial of service;
• use the site in a way that breaches any applicable law, or that infringes anyone's rights;
• misrepresent your identity or your affiliation when contacting us.

A breach of this section may be a criminal offence under the Computer Misuse Act 1990. Where we consider that it is, we will report it to the relevant law enforcement authority and cooperate with them, including by disclosing your identity where we can establish it.

7. Intellectual property

We own or are licensed to use all intellectual property rights in the site and in the material published on it, including the text, the layout, the typographic arrangement, the source code, the stylesheet and the marks used on it. Those rights are protected by law. All rights not expressly granted in section 5 are reserved.

Typefaces used on the site are licensed from their respective owners and are not ours to sub-licence.

Names, marks and logos belonging to other organisations, if they appear anywhere on the site, remain the property of their respective owners and are used descriptively. Their appearance does not indicate any endorsement, partnership or affiliation.

If you believe material on the site infringes a right you hold, write to the address in section 21 setting out what the material is, where it appears, what right you hold and why you believe it is infringed. We will look at it and respond.

8. The status of an enquiry

Sending us an enquiry does not create a contract, a retainer or any obligation on either side. It starts a conversation.

We may decline any enquiry, and we are not obliged to give a reason. We may already be engaged on work that conflicts with yours, the work may fall outside what we take on, or we may simply lack the capacity.

Do not send confidential information in a first enquiry. Until a confidentiality agreement is in place, we cannot treat what you send as confidential, and we ask you not to assume otherwise. If you need protection before you can describe the problem, say so and we will put an agreement in place first.

Enquiries are handled as described in the privacy notice.

9. How consultancy work is actually contracted

Consultancy work begins only when both sides have signed a written agreement. That agreement, and any statement of work under it, sets out the scope, the deliverables, the timetable, the fees, the payment terms, the intellectual property position, the confidentiality obligations, the data protection terms required by Article 28 of the UK GDPR where we act as a processor, and the liability position for that engagement.

Where the signed agreement and this document differ, the signed agreement prevails for that engagement. This document continues to govern your use of the website.

Nothing said in a meeting, an email exchange or a call creates a binding commitment on scope, price or timetable unless it is recorded in the signed agreement or in a written variation to it.

10. No professional advice, no reliance

The site is published for general information. It is not technical, legal, financial, regulatory or professional advice, and it is not tailored to your situation.

Do not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of anything on this site. If you need advice for a decision, obtain it from a professional who has been briefed on your facts and who accepts responsibility for the advice given.

We make no representation and give no warranty that material on the site is complete, current or fit for any particular purpose. We may change it at any time without notice.

11. Availability of the site

The site is provided free of charge and on an "as available" basis. We do not guarantee that it will be available without interruption, that it will be free of error, or that any defect will be corrected.

We may suspend, withdraw or restrict all or part of the site for business or operational reasons, and we will try to give reasonable notice where we can.

You are responsible for arranging your own access to the site and for making sure that everyone who accesses it through your connection is aware of these terms and complies with them.

12. Links to other websites

Where the site links to a website operated by someone else, the link is provided for information only. We do not control those sites, we do not endorse them, and we are not responsible for their content, their availability or their handling of your data.

Follow an external link at your own risk, and read the terms and privacy notice of the site you arrive at.

13. Personal data

How we handle personal data is set out in the privacy notice, which forms part of these terms by reference. How the site uses cookies and similar technologies is set out in the cookie notice.

Where we act as a processor on a client's instructions, the data protection terms in the signed agreement govern that processing, not this document.

14. If you are a consumer

The site is aimed at businesses. If you are using it as a consumer, meaning for purposes wholly or mainly outside a trade, business, craft or profession, you keep every right the law gives you as a consumer.

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights, including your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. If any part of these terms is inconsistent with a right you have as a consumer, that right prevails over the inconsistent part.

As a consumer you may bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the United Kingdom in which you live, whatever section 20 says.

15. Our liability to you

Read this section carefully. It limits what we are responsible for.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for: death or personal injury caused by our negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited; or, where you deal with us as a consumer, any liability under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 that cannot be excluded.

Subject to that paragraph, and because the site is provided free of charge:

• we exclude all conditions, warranties and other terms that would otherwise be implied by statute, common law or equity;
• we are not liable for any loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, loss of goodwill, loss of or corruption of data, or any indirect or consequential loss, arising from your use of or inability to use the site, or from reliance on anything published on it;
• our total liability to you in connection with the site, whether in contract, tort including negligence, breach of statutory duty or otherwise, is limited in aggregate to one hundred pounds sterling.

That cap applies to the website only. Liability arising from consultancy work is dealt with in the signed agreement for that engagement, and is not limited by this section.

We are not liable for loss or damage caused by a virus or other technologically harmful material that infects your equipment because you used the site or downloaded something from it. You should use your own virus protection.

16. Events outside our control

We are not liable for any failure or delay in making the site available where the cause is outside our reasonable control, including a failure of a hosting provider, a network or power failure, an act of a public authority, industrial action, or a cyber attack on infrastructure we do not operate.

17. Suspending access

We may withdraw your permission to use the site immediately and without notice if you breach these terms. Where we do, you must stop using the site, and we may take further steps including reporting the breach to a law enforcement authority.

18. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms. The version in force is the one published on this page, and the effective date at the top of this document tells you when it took effect.

Check this page when you return to the site. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms. A change to these terms does not alter a signed consultancy agreement.

19. General provisions

Whole agreement. These terms, together with the privacy notice and the cookie notice, are the whole agreement between you and us about your use of the site, and they replace anything said or written about it before.

Severability. If a court finds any provision invalid or unenforceable, that provision is severed and the rest continues in force.

No waiver. If we delay in enforcing a right, or do not enforce it, that is not a waiver of it and does not prevent us enforcing it later.

Assignment. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these terms. We may transfer ours to a company that acquires our business, and we will tell you on this page if we do.

Third parties. A person who is not a party to these terms has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any of them.

20. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms, their subject matter and their formation are governed by the law of England and Wales.

The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms, subject to the rights a consumer has under section 14 to bring proceedings where they live.

21. How to reach us
