Terms and Conditions — Full Document

Last updated: January 2026.
01

Services

Horizon Consulting and Marketing Ltd ("the Consultancy") agrees to provide services as detailed in an agreed Statement of Work (SOW) or written project specification. The scope of services may only be amended by written agreement between both parties. The Consultancy reserves the right to employ sub-contractors for specialised tasks, ensuring all delegated work adheres to our institutional quality standards.

02

Payment Terms

Standard payment is due strictly upon completion of agreed project milestones or final delivery, and only following formal written sign-off by an authorised client representative. Full payment is due within 30 days of invoice date unless otherwise specified in the SOW. We do not require deposits or upfront payments for standard engagements. Written sign-off by an authorised client representative is required before any invoice is raised. Once sign-off is provided, the deliverables are considered accepted and complete.

03

Intellectual Property

Upon receipt of full payment, all bespoke intellectual property, source code and strategic documentation created specifically for the client during the engagement transfers fully to the client. The Consultancy retains all rights to pre-existing frameworks, methodologies and proprietary toolsets utilised during delivery. The client is granted a perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use these underlying elements exclusively within the context of the delivered solution.

04

Confidentiality

Both parties agree to hold all confidential information — whether business, technical or financial — in strict confidence and not disclose it to any third party without explicit prior written consent. This obligation survives the termination of any agreement and remains in effect indefinitely for trade secrets, and for five years post-engagement for all other confidential materials.

05

Liability Limitations

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Horizon Consulting and Marketing Ltd shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly. The total cumulative liability of the Consultancy for any claims arising out of or relating to the services provided shall not exceed the total amount paid by the client in the 12 months preceding the claim.

06

Governing Law

These terms and any related dispute or claim shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Both parties irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms & Conditions.
