Website Terms of Use and Legal Disclaimer
Last Updated: 14 June 2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to BritishContracts.com (the “Site”). The Site is owned and operated by Geoffrey Caesar, a solicitor of England and Wales practicing as a freelance solicitor under the trading name British Contracts. These Terms of Use govern your use of our Site. By accessing or using this Site, you agree to comply with these terms. If you do not agree, you must not use our Site.
No Legal Advice or Client Relationship: All content on our Site, including articles, guides, and the AI contract drafting tool, is provided for general information and convenience only. It does not constitute legal advice** on which you should rely. Using our Site or the AI tools does not create a solicitor-client relationship between you and British Contracts (or Geoffrey Caesar). You are not considered a client of ours unless and until you purchase a legal services package and we explicitly confirm acceptance of your instruction. If you require legal advice tailored to your situation, please engage our paid services or seek advice from a qualified solicitor.
We reserve the right to update these Terms of Use from time to time. The date of the latest revision will be indicated above. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the revised terms (though no changes will retroactively affect any service contracts you have entered into – those are governed by the Terms in effect at the time of purchase).
2. Information About Us
Operator: The Site is operated by Geoffrey Caesar, a solicitor of the Senior Courts of England and Wales, practicing as a sole practitioner under the name “British Contracts.” British Contracts is not a law firm or company, but a trading name for Geoffrey Caesar’s freelance legal practice.
Regulation: Geoffrey Caesar practices in accordance with the regulations for solicitors in England and Wales. (Note: No solicitor-client engagement arises from viewing this Site or using free tools, as explained above.)

4. Intellectual Property and Copyright
4.1. Ownership of Content: Unless specifically indicated otherwise, British Contracts owns the copyright and all other intellectual property rights in the content on this Site.

4.2. Permitted Use: You may access and view the content on our Site on your device, and you may print or download extracts for your personal use or internal business use. For example, you are free to use a contract draft created by our AI tool for your own personal or business transaction. However, you must not:
Republish or redistribute any content or AI-generated materials from our Site (e.g., posting our articles or AI-generated contract templates on another website) without our prior written consent.
Use our content or AI Materials for commercial purposes other than the intended use (for instance, you may use a contract draft for your own agreement with a counterparty, but you cannot resell the draft or hold it out as your own template for sale).
Remove or obscure any copyright notices or proprietary marks on content from our Site. If we are identified as the author or owner of any content, that attribution should remain.

Your Materials: If you submit any information or material through our Site (for example, by filling in information for the AI contract drafting tool or sending us an inquiry), you confirm that you have the right to use that material and to submit it. You retain ownership of any original content or data you provide to us. We will handle personal data you submit in accordance with our Privacy Policy. For any non-personal inputs you provide (such as contract details for the AI tool), you grant us a license to use that input for the purpose of providing the service to you (for example, processing it through the AI to generate a draft) and to improve our services. We will not share your submitted content publicly without your permission, and any confidential information you provide as part of a paid legal service will be kept confidential in line with professional obligations.
4.4. Trademarks: “British Contracts” and our logo are trademarks or service marks owned by Geoffrey Caesar. You are not permitted to use our name or logo without our prior written approval, except as necessary for legitimate references (e.g., discussing our services).
5. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability

No Legal Liability for Free Information: To the fullest extent permitted by law, British Contracts excludes all liability for any loss or damage arising from your reliance on the general information or materials on this Site, including content generated by the AI tools. This exclusion covers all types of loss or damage, whether direct or indirect, foreseeable or unforeseeable.

We accept no responsibility for any third-party websites or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them. If you follow a link to an external site, be aware that those sites have their own terms and privacy policies.
5.5. Limitation of Liability: If, notwithstanding the above disclaimers, we are found liable to you for any damage or loss arising out of your use of this Site (excluding the provision of paid legal services, which is addressed in our Service Terms), our liability will in all cases be limited to £0, as you have not paid any fee to use the free informational aspects of our Site. (For liability in relation to paid services, please refer to the Terms of Service for Fixed-Fee Legal Packages.) We will not be liable for any loss of profits, loss of business, loss of data, or indirect/consequential losses in connection with use of the Site.

7. Termination of Use
We reserve the right to deny or terminate access to the Site to any user for any reason, including violation of these Terms of Use.

These Terms of Use (and any dispute or claim arising from or related to them or the use of the Site) are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
If you are a business user, you agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising under these terms or your use of the Site.
If you are a consumer user, we will normally aim to resolve any dispute amicably. However, should any court proceedings be necessary, you may bring a claim in the courts of England and Wales. If you are a resident of Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may alternatively bring proceedings in the courts of those countries under applicable consumer jurisdiction rules.
