By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

These terms cover your use of the website. They do not, on their own, create any consulting, advisory, coaching or other professional relationship with Ambrose and Bell. Any such relationship requires a separate written engagement letter or service agreement signed by both sides.

2. What this website is, and is not

ambrosebell.com is a brochure website. It exists so that prospective clients, partners, members of our network and other professional readers can learn about our advisory work and contact us.

The site:

  • describes our services, our point of view and the people behind the firm;
  • publishes articles, frameworks, anonymised case summaries and other content from time to time;
  • offers a third-party scheduling link (Fantastical) so that visitors may book a 20-minute call with the founder;
  • does not host an online checkout, a downloads area, a paid content library, a membership area or a course platform.

Where we add any such feature in future, additional terms specific to that feature will be displayed at the point you use it, and those additional terms will sit alongside (and where they conflict, override) these general terms for that feature.

3. Content is information, not advice

Content on the site is published for general information. It reflects our experience and our point of view as at the date of publication. It is not professional advice and you should not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of any content on the site without taking specific advice from a qualified professional who can consider your circumstances in full.

Visiting the site, reading our content, downloading a public-facing document, booking a call, or contacting us does not, on its own, create a contract, a retainer, an advisory relationship or any duty of care between you and Ambrose and Bell. A formal relationship is created only by a signed engagement letter or service agreement and the issue of an engagement number on our side.

We make reasonable efforts to keep the site accurate and current. We do not, however, warrant that the content is complete, free of error, or up to date at every moment. We may change or remove content without notice.

4. Intellectual property

All content on the site, including the text, graphics, photographs, illustrations, frameworks and methodologies, is owned by Ambrose and Bell Limited or licensed to us, and is protected by copyright and other laws.

You may:

  • view, download and print pages from the site for your own personal or internal business reference, provided you keep all copyright and proprietary notices intact;
  • share short extracts and links to articles on the site, attributing them to Ambrose and Bell with a link back to the original page.

You may not, without our prior written consent:

  • republish material from the site (in whole or in substantial part) on another website, in a publication or in a commercial product;
  • sell, rent or sub-licence any material from the site;
  • reproduce, duplicate, copy or otherwise exploit material on the site for a commercial purpose;
  • reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any software made available through the site;
  • use the site or any of its content to train an artificial intelligence or machine-learning model.

If you would like to use our content beyond the limits in this section, please contact us at info@ambrosebell.com.

5. Acceptable use

You agree to use the site lawfully and considerately. In particular, you agree not to:

  • use the site in a way that breaches any applicable law or regulation, in the UK or elsewhere;
  • use the site to send unsolicited commercial communications;
  • introduce any virus, trojan, worm, logic bomb or other malicious code, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, the server it is hosted on or any connected database;
  • attack the site by way of a denial-of-service attack, a distributed denial-of-service attack or any similar attack;
  • use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access the site for any purpose without our express written permission, except for ordinary search-engine indexing and equivalent normal web behaviour;
  • impersonate any person, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or organisation, when contacting us through the site.

A breach of this section may result in us suspending your access, removing content posted by you, or pursuing legal action where appropriate.

6. Linking to the site

You may link to ambrosebell.com from your own website, provided you do so in a way that is fair and lawful, that does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it, and that does not suggest any form of association, approval or endorsement on our part where none exists. You may not frame the site, or present any of its content as if it were your own.

We reserve the right to withdraw linking permission without notice.

7. External links

The site may include links to third-party websites or resources, including the Fantastical booking link. Those links are provided for your convenience. We do not control the third-party sites and we do not endorse them. We are not responsible for the content, products or services of any third-party site, and any reliance you place on them is at your own risk. You should review the terms and privacy notices of any site you visit by following a link from ours.

8. Site availability

We aim to keep the site available, but we do not guarantee that it will be available continuously, error-free, or that defects will be corrected immediately. The site may be unavailable from time to time for routine maintenance, for emergency maintenance, because of failures or attacks beyond our reasonable control, or because we choose to take it offline temporarily. We will not be liable to you if the site is unavailable for any period.

9. Security and viruses

We take reasonable steps to protect the site from malicious code. We cannot, however, guarantee that the site or any file on it is free from viruses. You are responsible for keeping your own device, browser and security software up to date and for scanning anything you download from any website (including ours) before using it.

10. Privacy

Our handling of personal data in connection with the site is described in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. Both documents form part of these terms. Please read them.

11. Liability

This section sets out the limit of our legal responsibility to you in connection with the site. Please read it carefully.

11.1 What is excluded

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude:

  • all conditions, warranties, representations and other terms that might otherwise be implied by statute, common law or the law of equity in relation to the site or its content;
  • liability for any indirect, special or consequential loss, including any loss of profit, loss of business, loss of revenue, loss of contracts, loss of opportunity, loss of anticipated savings, loss of goodwill or loss of, or corruption of, data;
  • liability for any loss arising out of any content you read on the site, where you have not entered into a separate signed engagement with us covering the matter in question.

11.2 What is capped

For all other liability that we have to you in connection with the site, in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, our total liability is capped at the greater of:

  • one thousand pounds sterling (GBP 1,000), or
  • the total fees you have actually paid to Ambrose and Bell in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, under any signed engagement.

This cap is aggregate. It applies across all claims arising from connected events.

11.3 What is never excluded

Nothing in these terms (and in particular nothing in this section 11) excludes or limits our liability for:

  • death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
  • fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
  • breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

11.4 Statutory rights of consumers

If you are using the site as a consumer, nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights. The terms do not limit any rights you may have under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 that cannot lawfully be limited.

12. Force majeure

We will not be liable for any failure to perform, or delay in performing, our obligations in connection with the site where that failure or delay is caused by an event beyond our reasonable control. This includes acts of God, fire, flood, severe weather, epidemic or pandemic, acts of war or terrorism, civil unrest, industrial action, failure of public utilities, failure or disruption of internet service providers, failure or disruption of upstream cloud or hosting providers, and government action.

13. Suspension and termination

We may, at our discretion and without notice, suspend or withdraw your access to the site (or to any part of it) if we believe you are in breach of these terms or if we reasonably suspect misuse. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including sections 4 (intellectual property), 11 (liability), 14 (governing law), 15 (entire agreement) and this section, will survive.

14. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms, the site, and any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the site or these terms.

If you are a consumer based in another part of the United Kingdom, this clause does not deprive you of any protection of the mandatory law of the part of the United Kingdom in which you are habitually resident.

15. Entire agreement

These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Ambrose and Bell in relation to your use of the site. They replace any previous understanding or agreement on that subject. They do not, however, affect the terms of any separate signed engagement letter or service agreement, which will continue to govern that engagement.

16. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found by a court or regulator of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision will be deemed severed from the rest. The remaining provisions will continue in full force.

17. No waiver

If we do not insist on strict performance of any obligation under these terms, or if we delay in taking action against you in respect of a breach, that does not waive our rights. We may still take action later.

18. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these terms without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these terms, in whole or in part, to a member of our group or to a successor business, on giving you reasonable notice.

19. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "Effective date" at the top of the page will move forward when a change is made. Your continued use of the site after a change has been published constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not accept the new terms, you should stop using the site.
