Terms &
Conditions.

These terms apply to visitors, prospective clients and any other person using the Website. They apply whether you access the Website as a guest or through any feature that may be introduced in future.

Additional terms may apply to particular downloads, events, training materials, tools or services. Any additional terms will be brought to your attention where relevant.

Access to the Website is provided on a temporary basis. We may withdraw, suspend, restrict or amend any part of the Website without notice where reasonably necessary, including for maintenance, security, legal or operational reasons.

We do not guarantee that the Website, or any content on it, will always be available or uninterrupted. We will not be responsible merely because the Website is temporarily unavailable, except where the law does not allow such responsibility to be excluded.

You are responsible for making the arrangements needed to access the Website and for ensuring that anyone using it through your internet connection is aware of and complies with these terms.

You may use the Website only for lawful purposes. You must not use it in any way that breaches applicable local, national or international law or regulation, infringes another person’s rights, or is fraudulent, harmful or misleading.

Unless stated otherwise, Orca Advisory owns or is licensed to use the intellectual property rights in the Website and the material published on it. This includes text, graphics, branding, downloadable documents, presentations, diagrams, photographs, video, audio and other resources. These works are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

You may view the Website, temporarily store pages electronically and print or download a reasonable number of copies for your own personal or internal organisational reference, provided that:

• copyright notices and acknowledgements are retained;
• the material is not materially altered or presented out of context;
• images, graphics, audio or video are not separated from their accompanying context where doing so would be misleading;
• Orca Advisory and any identified contributor are acknowledged as the source; and
• the material is not sold, licensed, republished or used commercially without prior written permission.

You must not reproduce substantial parts of the Website, use its content to create a competing product or service, or use our materials to train, evaluate or populate an artificial intelligence system without our prior written permission, except where such use is expressly permitted by law.

Content on the Website is provided for general information and professional discussion. It is not intended to amount to legal, regulatory, safeguarding, financial, medical, technical or other specialist advice on which you should rely without considering your own circumstances.

Although we take reasonable care when preparing content, we do not guarantee that all information will always be complete, accurate or current. Guidance, legislation, technology, standards and recommended practice can change. You should verify important information against current authoritative sources and obtain specialist advice where appropriate.

We may update, replace or remove Website content at any time and are not obliged to update material merely because it has become out of date.

Descriptions of services, experience, case studies, presentations or possible outcomes on the Website are illustrative. They do not constitute a binding offer, guarantee of availability or promise that a particular outcome will be achieved.

A contract for paid work is formed only when the relevant scope, fees, responsibilities and terms have been agreed through a proposal, booking confirmation, statement of work, contract or other written engagement document.

Clients remain responsible for their own decisions, statutory duties, safeguarding arrangements, governance, policies, implementation and compliance. Orca Advisory’s advice supports professional judgement but does not replace the responsibilities of a client organisation, its leaders, trustees, governors, staff or professional advisers.

Our handling of personal information is explained in the Orca Advisory Privacy Notice. Information about cookies and similar technologies is provided in our Cookie Notice or cookie settings, where applicable.

When you contact us, you must provide information that is accurate and not misleading. You should not send confidential, special-category or highly sensitive personal data unless it is necessary, appropriately protected and we have agreed how it should be shared.

Contact details published on the Website are provided for genuine business, professional and service-related enquiries. They must not be used for unsolicited bulk marketing.

Linking to Orca Advisory

You may link to publicly available pages on the Website provided that the link is fair and lawful, does not damage our reputation, and does not suggest an association, approval or endorsement where none exists.

You must not frame the Website within another site, obscure its source or reproduce substantial content in place of a link. We may withdraw linking permission where a link is misleading, unlawful or harmful.

Third-party websites and resources

The Website may link to external websites, research, guidance, products or services. These links are provided for convenience and information. Unless expressly stated, a link does not mean that Orca Advisory controls, endorses or accepts responsibility for the third party or its content.

Third-party sites have their own terms, privacy practices and security arrangements. You should review them before using those sites or providing personal information.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Subject to that qualification, Orca Advisory will not be liable for loss or damage arising solely from:

• use of, or inability to use, the Website;
• reliance on general Website content without appropriate verification or professional advice;
• the acts, omissions, content or availability of third-party websites;
• viruses or other harmful material introduced by third parties, provided we have taken reasonable security measures; or
• losses that were not reasonably foreseeable when you began using the Website.

If you use the Website for business purposes, we will not be liable for loss of profit, revenue, business, contracts, anticipated savings, goodwill or indirect or consequential loss arising from use of the Website. Liability relating to paid consultancy or training services will be governed by the applicable engagement terms.

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

If you are using the Website in a business capacity, the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes connected with these terms. Consumers may also have rights to bring proceedings in the part of the United Kingdom in which they live.

If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect.

We may revise these terms by updating this page. Changes take effect when published. The review date shown at the top indicates when the page was most recently considered or amended.
