Website terms of use

01

About these terms

These terms apply when you access or use the Vornant website. By continuing to use the website, you agree to use it in accordance with these terms and applicable law.

If you do not agree with these terms, you should stop using the website.

02

About Vornant

This website is operated by Vornant Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales.

03

Using this website

You may use this website for lawful purposes and for ordinary access to information about Vornant, its services, products and work.

You must not knowingly:

• Use the website for an unlawful or fraudulent purpose
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its infrastructure or connected systems
• Introduce malware, malicious code or other harmful material
• Interfere with the availability, security or operation of the website
• Circumvent technical measures intended to protect the website or its users
• Use automated access in a way that materially disrupts the service or places unreasonable demands on its infrastructure

Nothing in these terms is intended to prevent legitimate security research, indexing, accessibility technology or other lawful activity merely because automated technology is involved.

04

Website information

Vornant aims to keep information on this website useful and reasonably accurate, but website content is provided primarily for general information.

Content may describe services, products, technical capabilities, projects, future intentions or general approaches at a high level. It should not be treated as a project specification, contractual commitment or guarantee that a particular service, feature or technology will be available in every engagement.

Technical, legal, regulatory or other specialist information on the website is not a substitute for advice appropriate to your specific circumstances.

05

Client relationships and enquiries

Visiting the website, sending an enquiry or discussing a possible project does not by itself create a client relationship or require Vornant to undertake work.

A binding commitment to provide professional services will arise only through the applicable written commercial agreement, Statement of Work, accepted order or other document expressly intended to create that commitment.

Estimates, examples, preliminary discussions and website content are not project commitments unless incorporated into an agreed contractual document.

06

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the content and design of this website, including Vornant branding, written material, original graphics, software and other original materials, are owned by Vornant Ltd or used with permission.

You may view and use the website for ordinary personal or business reference. You may also link to publicly available pages in a fair and lawful way that does not misrepresent your relationship with Vornant.

You must not reproduce, republish, sell, license or commercially exploit substantial website content without permission where that activity would infringe applicable intellectual-property rights.

Third-party names, trade marks, logos and materials remain the property of their respective owners.

07

Information you send us

If you contact Vornant, you are responsible for ensuring that you are entitled to provide the information you send.

Please do not send passwords, API keys, authentication codes, private signing material or other live credentials through ordinary website or email enquiries.

Sending information to Vornant does not transfer ownership of your intellectual property to us.

Where confidential or sensitive material needs to be exchanged for a potential project, appropriate confidentiality and secure exchange arrangements can be agreed where necessary.

08

External websites and third-party services

The website may contain links to external websites, products or services operated by third parties.

Links are provided because they may be relevant or useful. Unless expressly stated otherwise, a link does not mean that Vornant controls, operates or endorses the third-party service.

Third-party websites and services operate under their own terms, privacy practices and technical arrangements.

09

Website availability and security

Vornant aims to operate the website reliably, but uninterrupted or error-free availability cannot be guaranteed.

We may suspend, restrict, modify or withdraw parts of the website where reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, technical changes or business reasons.

While reasonable measures are used to protect the website, no internet service can guarantee complete protection against every security threat.

10

Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful.

Subject to that principle, Vornant is not responsible for loss arising solely from reliance on general website information where a matter reasonably requires project-specific, professional or specialist assessment.

Vornant is also not responsible for the availability, security, content or operation of third-party websites or services that we do not control.

Liability arising from professional services supplied by Vornant is governed by the contract applicable to those services rather than by these website terms.

11

Privacy and cookies

Information about how Vornant handles personal information is available in our Privacy Notice.

Information about cookies and similar browser technologies is available in our Cookie Policy.

Governing law

These website terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.

Subject to any mandatory rights or jurisdiction that cannot lawfully be excluded, disputes relating to these terms or use of the website will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
