Website Terms of Use
About this document: This document reflects the current operation of Code Consulting Studio and its website. CCS actively develops its services and technology, so this information may be updated when our functionality, providers, business arrangements or applicable legal requirements change.
About these terms
These terms govern your use of the Code Consulting Studio website. By using the website, you agree to use it lawfully and in accordance with these terms. Separate terms may apply if you later enter into a paid project, mentoring arrangement or other service agreement with CCS.
Using this website
You may browse the website, read its content and use available contact or enquiry features for legitimate purposes. You must not use the website in a way that is unlawful, fraudulent, harmful or intended to interfere with its operation, security or availability.
Prohibited use
- Attempting to gain unauthorised access to the website, server, accounts or connected systems
- Introducing malware, malicious code or intentionally harmful requests
- Attempting to disrupt, overload or interfere with the website or its infrastructure
- Using automated extraction, scraping or similar techniques at a scale or in a manner that materially interferes with the service or infringes applicable rights
- Using website content or systems for fraudulent, unlawful or misleading purposes
- Impersonating another person or misrepresenting your relationship with CCS
Enquiries are not a contract
Submitting a project, growth, mentoring or general enquiry does not by itself create a contract, guarantee acceptance of work or commit either party to proceed. Any paid engagement, including its scope, price, payment terms, responsibilities, deliverables and timetable, must be agreed separately.
Quotes, estimates and availability
Information shown on the website about services, capabilities or potential ways of working is general information unless expressly stated otherwise. Any quotation, proposal, availability estimate or project timetable provided in response to an enquiry may be subject to separate written terms.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the website's original text, visual design, CCS branding, graphics and other original materials are owned by or licensed to Code Consulting Studio and are protected by applicable intellectual property law.
You may view the website and make reasonable personal or internal business use of its content. You may not reproduce, republish, sell, misrepresent or commercially exploit substantial parts of the website or CCS branding without permission, except where the law permits otherwise.
Projects, products and third-party material
Examples of work, products, technologies and third-party brands may appear on the website for information or portfolio purposes. Rights in third-party names, logos, screenshots, content or other assets remain with their respective owners. Client-specific publication and intellectual property arrangements are governed by the relevant agreement or permission.
Educational and informational content
Articles, technical explanations, examples and other educational material on the website are provided for general information and learning. They should not be treated as legal, financial, tax, medical or other regulated professional advice. Technical information may also become outdated as technologies and standards change.
Third-party websites
The website may contain links to third-party websites or services. CCS does not control those services and is not responsible for their content, availability, security or privacy practices. A link does not necessarily mean that CCS endorses the third party.
Website availability
We aim to keep the website accurate, secure and available, but we do not promise uninterrupted or error-free access. We may modify, suspend, restrict or remove parts of the website where reasonably necessary, including for maintenance, security or development.
Liability
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability that cannot legally be excluded or restricted. Subject to those limits, CCS is not responsible for losses caused solely by reliance on general website information where a specific professional or contractual assessment would reasonably be required.
If you use the website as a consumer, nothing in these terms affects any mandatory consumer rights you have under applicable law.
Changes to the website and these terms
We may update the website and these terms when our services, technology or legal requirements change. The current version will be published on this page. Changes do not retrospectively alter a separate contract already agreed with a client unless that contract allows it.
Applicable law
These website terms are intended to operate under the laws applicable to the operator of CCS in the United Kingdom. Nothing in these terms is intended to remove mandatory rights or protections that apply to you under applicable consumer or other law.
