TERMS OF USE OF SITE AND TERMS OF BUSINESS 

1. General: reference in these terms and conditions to "you" are references to our customer and as the context requires the individual at the customer responsible for placing the relevant order. References to we or us are references to CompanyIncorporations.com Limited. 

2. Service: We will use reasonable skill and care in responding to your instructions.

3. User Name, Password and Account No: Registered users will access our site using a username and password provided by us, or entered by you on registration. These will be used to control access to your information including order and account information. You may also ask for or be given account facilities in connection with which you will be given a confidential account number. This number will have to be entered on each order that you place using the account facility.  It is your responsibility to ensure that your customer user name, password and Account No are kept confidential, including as appropriate within your organisation, to prevent their unauthorised use.  You should inform us immediately if you are concerned about unauthorised use, in particular of your Account No, and we will change your Account No. You may change your user name and password at any time on-line using our on-line customer management facility (accessed via 'My Account). 

4. Instructions: You are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate. We are not responsible for checking its accuracy, although we will endeavour to do so before actioning any order. In order to ensure that the service you receive accords with your requirements, you must give full, proper and necessary instructions in a timely manner.  

5. Authority: By providing us with instructions to provide a service to you, you are thereby providing us with all necessary authority to perform that service on your behalf. We cannot check that the individual completing our on-line order form, or otherwise providing us with instructions, has authority on behalf of the person or persons for whom, or on whose behalf, he is acting or purportedly acting, and we do not accept responsibility for any absence of such authority. By completing the on-line order form, or otherwise proving us with instructions, such person is thereby warranting that he has actual authority to act on behalf of the person or person for whom, or on whose behalf, he is acting (or purportedly acting).  

6. Electronic Signatures: Without prejudice to clause 3, by providing us with digital/electronic signature information in respect of any proposed shareholder or officer of a company, you represent that you have authority to act on behalf of the person in question, that such person (if he is to be a shareholder) has consented to become a member of the company or (if he is to become a director or company secretary) has consented to act as a director or company secretary (as the case may be), and that he is aware that relevant forms will be signed on his behalf using his digital signature information.  

7. Confidentiality: All account, payment and digital signature information and all other information which is clearly of a confidential nature, including the identity and affairs of our customers, will be kept confidential at all times indefinitely in point of law, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We can be required to disclose information to governmental and other public authorities and in some circumstances we are not permitted to inform you that we are doing so. Information that is in the public domain will not be kept confidential. All other information will be utilized in accordance with our Privacy Policy set out below.  

8. Liability: Except in respect of claims for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or as otherwise prohibited or restricted by law:

(i) our liability for loss or damage, howsoever arising and whether based on negligence or otherwise, and whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising out of any single claim, event or series or of related claims or events shall not exceed £1,000.

(ii) without prejudice to the aforesaid limit on liability we shall not be responsible nor liable to you for any loss or expenses arising out of or in respect of any special, incidental or consequential damages or loss of profits even if informed of the possibility of such damages in advance

The above provisions  take into account the nature of the service provided and the size of fees typically involved and our liability insurance is based on such amount. By placing your first order with us you thereby accept that they are fair and reasonable in the circumstances. 

9. Payment: Payment for each order must be made either on account, where you have been given an account facility by us (subject to any limit placed on the use of such account) or by credit card at the time of such order. Orders placed on account, must be paid within 30 days of the date of the invoice by which such orders are billed to you. We reserve the right to charge interest at the rate of 1% per month on overdue amounts, and to charge for costs and expenses incurred in collecting overdue amounts. 

10. Fees: Our fees and charges for our services are as from time to time specified on our Site, or as otherwise notified to or agreed with you. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing with you, we reserve the right to change our fees and charges without express notification to you by changing the relevant page(s) on our Site.

11. Accounts: In the event that you are allocated an account facility, you are responsible as specified in clause 3 for keeping your Account No confidential and safe from use by unauthorised third parties. We may , in our discretion, set credit limits from time to time, and reserve our right to withdraw an account facility at any time by notification to you. In the event that any order is placed based on use of an account facility in circumstances where the account facility has been withdrawn or the credit limit exceeded, we may in our discretion decide either not proceed with the order or to proceed in which event you will be obliged to make payment for such order promptly on notification from us by cheque or in such manner as may be acceptable to us. 

12. Business Hours: Our site is open for business 24 hours a day, but instructions will only be actioned during normal business hours (9.30am to 5.30pm). You ought to bear in mind that instructions to Companies House may be given electronically 24 hours a day, but they in turn only act upon then during their normal business hours. We cannot give any specific guarantees as to promptness of performance and, in particular, as to date of incorporation. Our objectives in the case of tailor made incorporations are as follows:

(i) if we receive an order prior to 12 noon: to submit the incorporation papers to Companies House, the same day with a view, subject to Companies House actioning the application promptly, to achieving a same day incorporation;

(ii) in all other cases, to submit the incorporation papers to Companies House by 12 midnight, with a view to ensuring that the company is formed, subject to Companies House actioning the application, at worst the following day. 

13. Agency: You will be regarded as our principal and liable to us directly for payment. We do not accept instructions on the basis that the person placing the order is acting as agent on behalf of a principal.

14. Third Party Contractors: If any service we provide requires us to obtain services from a sub-contractor ("a Contractor") , for example in relation to work carried out outside of England and Wales, provided we disclose to you that we are doing so and the Contractor accepts responsibility to you as its client, we accept no responsibility for the service that the Contractor provides to you, nor for any errors or omissions in the service or product they provide. We will, however, use reasonable skill and care in selecting Contractors and in instructing them on your behalf.

15. Notices: Notices may be given by either party by email, if by us to you to the primary email address on your account, or if by you to us to info@companyincorporations.co.uk, and such email notifications shall be deemed to be received 2 hours after sending. Notifications may also be given in writing to the registered office or primary place of business of the other party and if sent by registered post shall be deemed to be delivered 24 hours after posting.

16. Jurisdiction: Each contract between us will be governed by English Law and will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts
