  • the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge;
  • you are entitled to provide it;
  • it does not infringe another person’s rights;
  • it does not contain unlawful or malicious material; and

They may:

  • be summarised;
  • omit confidential or commercially sensitive information;
  • combine related activities;
  • use generic descriptions; or
  • be anonymised.

Any result described relates to the particular circumstances of that engagement. Past performance and previous results do not guarantee the same or a similar result in another engagement.

References to a client, project, organisation or sector do not necessarily mean that the organisation endorses Clear or the Website.

10. Links to other websites

The Website may contain links to websites or resources operated by other organisations.

These links are provided for information or convenience only.

Unless we expressly state otherwise:

  • we do not control the linked website;
  • we are not responsible for its content, availability or security;
  • we do not endorse the linked organisation, its services or its views; and
  • the linked organisation’s own terms, privacy notice and cookie arrangements will apply.

You should make your own assessment before relying on information or services provided through another website.

11. Links to the Clear Website

You may link to the Website provided that you do so lawfully and fairly.

A link must not:

  • damage or take unfair advantage of Clear’s reputation;
  • suggest an association, approval or endorsement where none exists;
  • be placed on a website containing unlawful, misleading or seriously objectionable content;
  • frame the Website; or
  • misrepresent Clear’s services or relationship with you.

We may ask you to remove a link where we reasonably consider it inappropriate or misleading.

12. Website availability

We aim to keep the Website available and operating properly, but we do not guarantee that:

  • it will always be available;
  • access will be uninterrupted;
  • it will be free from errors;
  • every function will operate on every device or browser; or
  • all content will remain available.

We may suspend, withdraw, restrict or change all or part of the Website for maintenance, security, operational or business reasons.

We may also add, change or remove Website content without notice.

Where reasonably practicable, we may provide notice of a material or prolonged interruption, but we are not obliged to do so.

13. Website security

We take reasonable measures designed to protect the Website, but we cannot guarantee that it will always be secure or free from viruses or other harmful material.

You are responsible for:

  • using appropriate security software;
  • protecting your devices and accounts;
  • maintaining suitable backups;
  • checking downloaded material before using it; and
  • configuring your systems and browser securely.

You must not misuse the Website by knowingly introducing harmful or malicious material.

14. Our responsibility for Website content

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so.

In particular, nothing excludes or limits liability for:

  • death or personal injury caused by negligence;
  • fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
  • any other liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

Subject to this, the Website and its content are provided on an “as available” basis.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude warranties, representations or conditions that might otherwise apply to the Website or its content.

We are not responsible for loss or damage arising solely from:

  • relying on general Website content without obtaining advice appropriate to the circumstances;
  • Website content being incomplete or out of date;
  • temporary or permanent Website unavailability;
  • incompatibility with a particular device, browser or system;
  • use of a third-party website or resource;
  • a virus or other harmful material introduced by a third party; or
  • unauthorised use of the Website contrary to these terms.

Where you use the Website for business purposes, we will not be liable for:

  • loss of profit;
  • loss of revenue;
  • loss of business;
  • loss of contracts or opportunities;
  • loss of anticipated savings;
  • loss of goodwill;
  • loss or corruption of data; or
  • indirect or consequential loss.

These terms do not affect any statutory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

15. Information about our services

Descriptions of our services are provided for general information.

They do not constitute:

  • a binding offer;
  • a quotation;
  • a promise that a particular service or resource is available;
  • a guarantee that Clear is suitable for a particular engagement; or
  • a statement of the terms on which services will be provided.

The scope, price, timing, personnel, responsibilities and other terms of an engagement will be agreed separately in writing.

16. Privacy and cookies

Our Privacy Notice explains how we collect and use personal information, including information submitted through Website forms.

Our Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used.

Where consent is required for a cookie or similar technology, your choice will be obtained and managed separately through the Website’s cookie controls.

Acceptance of these Website Terms of Use does not itself amount to consent to non-essential cookies or any processing that legally requires consent.

17. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms to reflect changes to:

  • the Website;
  • our services;
  • our business;
  • applicable laws or regulations; or
  • security or operational requirements.

The latest version will be published on the Website and will state when it was last updated.

Updated terms apply to your use of the Website after they are published. They do not retrospectively change any separate agreement that you have entered into with Clear.

You should review these terms periodically.

18. Suspension or termination of access

We may suspend, restrict or terminate your access to the Website where we reasonably believe that:

  • you have breached these terms;
  • your use presents a security or operational risk;
  • your use may be unlawful;
  • you are infringing our rights or those of another person; or
  • suspension is reasonably necessary to protect the Website or its users.

Any rights or remedies that arose before suspension or termination will not be affected.

19. Severability

If any part of these terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that part will be treated as deleted to the minimum extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

20. No waiver

If we do not immediately exercise a right or remedy, this does not mean that we have waived it.

A waiver will be effective only where it is given expressly.

21. Third-party rights

Unless expressly stated otherwise, these terms do not give any person other than you and Clear a right to enforce them under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

22. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms, their subject matter and their formation, and any non-contractual dispute or claim arising from them, are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

The courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction, except where applicable law gives an individual the right to bring proceedings in another jurisdiction.
