Terms of Use
The rules that apply when you use the Pametan website. These are not the same as the contract that governs paid engagements — that’s covered separately by a Master Services Agreement.
1. Agreement to these terms
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Pametan website at pametan.co (the “Site”), operated by Pametan Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (Company No. 16023621) with its registered office at 20 Wenlock Road, London, England, N1 7GU (“we”, “us”, “our”).
By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Site.
2. Definitions
- Content means all text, graphics, images, code, illustrations, audio and other material on the Site.
- Services means software development and consulting services that we may provide under a separate written agreement (a “Master Services Agreement”).
- You means any person who accesses the Site.
These Terms govern only your use of the Site. They do not form a contract for the supply of paid services. Paid engagements are governed by a separately signed Master Services Agreement and statement of work.
3. Permitted use
You may:
- View the Site for personal or business research purposes.
- Print or download single copies of pages for your internal records.
- Quote short extracts in good faith with proper attribution to Pametan.
- Submit enquiries through the contact form or subscribe to our newsletter using a valid email address you control.
4. Prohibited use
You must not:
- Use the Site in any unlawful manner or in breach of any applicable law or regulation.
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, the server it runs on, or any system or network connected to it.
- Probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Site without our prior written consent.
- Introduce viruses, trojans, worms, logic bombs or other malicious material.
- Scrape, crawl or harvest the Site at a rate that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure, or use automated systems that ignore our robots.txt directives.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble any code we deliver through the Site, except as expressly permitted by law.
- Use the Site to send unsolicited commercial messages or to misrepresent your identity.
- Train large language models or other generative AI systems on substantial portions of the Site without our prior written consent.
5. Intellectual property
All Content on the Site — including but not limited to the Pametan name and wordmark, illustrations, page layout, copy, code and visual identity — is owned by or licensed to Pametan Ltd and is protected by copyright, trademark and database-rights laws in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Except as expressly permitted in section 3, no part of the Site may be reproduced, distributed, modified, publicly displayed or used to create derivative works without our prior written consent.
If you believe Content on this Site infringes your intellectual property rights, please email legal@pametan.co with sufficient information for us to investigate (in line with the safe-harbour requirements of section 512(c) of the US DMCA where applicable).
6. Your submissions
When you send us a message, project brief, comment or any other material through the Site or by email (“Submissions”):
- You confirm that the Submission is your own work or that you have the right to share it.
- You grant Pametan a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use the Submission for the purpose of responding to you, evaluating a potential engagement and operating our internal systems.
- You acknowledge that Submissions are not treated as confidential unless we have signed a non-disclosure agreement with you. If you need to share confidential information, ask for an NDA before sending it.
- You must not submit personal data of any third party without their permission.
7. Third-party links
The Site may link to websites or services operated by third parties (for example, regulator websites, our processors’ policies). We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices. Following such links is at your own risk.
8. Disclaimer
The Site and its Content are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
Information on the Site is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, regulatory, financial or other professional advice. Decisions based on information you find here are made at your own risk and should be verified against current source materials and qualified counsel — particularly where regulatory matters are involved.
9. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for:
- death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
- fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
- any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
Subject to that, to the fullest extent permitted by law:
- We will not be liable to you for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages arising from your use of the Site.
- Our aggregate liability arising from or in connection with your use of the Site (whether in contract, tort, statute or otherwise) is limited to £100 (one hundred pounds sterling).
If you have engaged us under a Master Services Agreement, the liability terms in that agreement govern that engagement and are not limited by this section.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Pametan Ltd and its directors, officers, employees and contractors from any claim, demand, loss, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of: (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) your violation of any law or third-party right; or (c) your misuse of the Site.
11. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site, in whole or in part, at any time and without notice if we believe you have breached these Terms or if it is necessary to protect the security or integrity of the Site.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms at any time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be notified at least 14 days in advance where we have your email address. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
13. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Site or these Terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales — except that:
- Consumers resident in the European Union retain the protection of mandatory consumer-protection laws of their country of residence.
- Consumers resident in California retain the right to bring actions in their local Small Claims Court.
