These terms govern access to and use of our public Website. They do not replace a separate recruitment mandate, statement of work, or engagement letter where we provide professional services to you or your organisation. Capitalised terms in section 1 have the meanings given there.
1. Definitions
Content means text, graphics, logos, layouts, software, and other materials made available through the Website. Materials means any content you submit to us via the Website (including form entries and attachments where the functionality allows). Website means the site operated by Olli Ditton at olliditton.com (or such other domain as we use). You means the person accessing the Website; where you act on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you have authority to bind that organisation to these terms in respect of Website use.
2. Acceptance and changes
By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these terms and by the Privacy policy and Cookie policy as amended from time to time. If you do not agree, you must not use the Website.
We may amend these terms by posting an updated version. The “Last updated” date will change. Where required by law, we will take additional steps (for example notice or re-consent). Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms where such acceptance is lawful and valid.
3. No partnership or agency
Nothing in these terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between you and Olli Ditton. You have no authority to bind us or to make representations on our behalf unless we have expressly authorised you in writing.
4. Information only - no professional advice
Content on the Website (including blog articles) is for general information only. It is not legal, tax, immigration, financial, or recruitment advice. You obtain professional advice before relying on any Content. We may update or remove Content without notice.
5. Vacancies and applications
Vacancies and case studies are indicative and may be withdrawn or filled without updating the Website immediately. Submitting a form or CV does not create an employment relationship with Olli Ditton or with any client. Selection and engagement are governed by separate communications and applicable law.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- misuse forms (including spam, fraudulent information, or automated scraping that impairs the service or imposes disproportionate load);
- attempt unauthorised access to our systems, administrative areas, or data;
- introduce malware, probe vulnerabilities, or interfere with security or performance;
- use the Website in breach of applicable law or third-party rights, or to offer, solicit, or accept bribes or other improper inducements;
- reverse engineer or attempt to extract source code or databases except to the extent expressly permitted by mandatory law.
We may suspend or restrict access where we reasonably believe these rules are breached, without prejudice to other remedies.
7. Intellectual property and licence to us
Unless otherwise stated, Olli Ditton and its licensors own all intellectual property rights in the Content. You receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive licence to access and view the Content for your personal or internal business purposes, and to temporarily cache copies as permitted by your browser. Any other use (including reproduction of substantial parts of the Website) requires our prior written consent.
You retain rights in your Materials. By submitting Materials, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, copy, and process the Materials for the purposes described in our Privacy policy (including responding to your enquiry and operating the Website). You warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant that licence and that the Materials do not infringe third-party rights.
8. Third-party links
The Website may contain links to third-party sites. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices. Following links is at your own risk.
9. Disclaimers
The Website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all implied warranties including merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Olli Ditton and its officers, employees, and contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, special, or punitive loss, or for loss of profits, goodwill, business, opportunity, or data, arising from your use of or inability to use the Website, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or otherwise.
Subject to the paragraph below, our aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these terms (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) shall not exceed one hundred pounds sterling (£100) or the maximum extent permitted by law, whichever is greater.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under English law.
11. Privacy, cookies, and marketing technology
Our Privacy policy and Cookie policy describe how we process personal data and use cookies. Optional Google Analytics and Google Ads technologies load only after the consent mechanism described in the Cookie policy (unless another lawful basis clearly applies in a specific case).
If you do not accept non-essential cookies, we will not load those measurement or advertising tags in the manner described in the Cookie policy.
12. Indemnity (reasonable scope)
You shall indemnify and hold harmless Olli Ditton against claims, damages, losses, and reasonable legal costs arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of the Website, or your Materials infringing third-party rights, except to the extent caused by our deliberate misconduct or our breach of these terms.
13. Waiver, assignment, and entire agreement (Website only)
No failure or delay by us to exercise any right or remedy constitutes a waiver of that right or remedy. We may assign or transfer our rights under these terms to any affiliate or successor in connection with a business transfer. You may not assign your rights without our prior written consent.
These terms, together with the Privacy policy and Cookie policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding use of the public Website and supersede prior discussions on that subject, except where a separate signed agreement expressly states otherwise.
14. Variation
No variation of these terms is effective unless it is in writing and signed by us (or posted by us as an updated version of these terms in accordance with section 2).
15. Severability and third-party rights
If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder continues in force to the fullest extent permitted. Unless expressly stated, nothing in these terms confers any right on a third party under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
16. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any non-waivable rights you may have as a consumer in your country of residence.
17. Force majeure
We shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform our obligations under these terms where caused by events outside our reasonable control, including (without limitation) internet or telecommunications outages, denial-of-service attacks, utility failures, fire, flood, epidemic or pandemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, strikes, or governmental restrictions. If such an event continues for more than thirty (30) days, we may suspend or withdraw parts of the Website on reasonable notice where practicable.
18. Electronic communications and contracting
You agree that notices and agreements relating to use of the Website may be given or formed by electronic means (including email and form submissions) where permitted by law, and that clicking “I agree”, submitting a form, or continuing to use the Website after notice of updated terms may constitute binding assent to the extent applicable.
