These terms apply when you use growvation.org
By using this website, you agree to use it in accordance with these terms and applicable law.
If you do not agree with these terms, you should not continue to use the website.
Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy explain separately how we use personal information and cookies.
Information and professional enquiries
The Growvation website is intended primarily to:
- explain Growvation and its approach;
- describe the Lighthouse evidence and decision-support proposition;
- explain how Growvation works behind or alongside professional advisers;
- provide information about Decision Integrity and our evidence-led approach; and
- allow advisers, business leaders and other relevant contacts to start a conversation with us.
The website is currently directed primarily at professional advisers, business leaders and organisations operating in the United Kingdom.
These terms do not govern paid Growvation services
Nothing on this website by itself creates an adviser relationship, consultancy engagement, client engagement, partnership, agency relationship or obligation for Growvation to provide services.
Submitting an enquiry does not create a contract for the delivery of a Lighthouse product or any other paid service.
Separate engagement terms
If Growvation agrees to undertake paid work, the relevant scope, responsibilities, deliverables, commercial terms and other conditions will be agreed separately before the engagement proceeds. Those agreed engagement terms will take precedence in relation to the services they cover.
Website content is general information
Content on this website is provided to explain Growvation's capabilities, approach and current proposition.
Website content is not intended to constitute legal, financial, investment, tax, accounting or other regulated or specialist professional advice.
You should obtain appropriate professional advice where a decision requires expertise or advice within a regulated or specialist field.
The fact that Growvation provides evidence and structured decision support does not transfer responsibility for a business decision to Growvation. The relevant organisation and its decision-makers remain responsible for their decisions.
Evidence can support a decision; it cannot guarantee an outcome
Business decisions involve judgement, uncertainty and factors that may change over time.
Growvation's approach is intended to help make relevant evidence, assumptions, uncertainty and decision rationale more visible and reviewable.
Information on this website should not be interpreted as a promise that a particular use of Growvation, Lighthouse or Decision Integrity will produce a specified commercial, financial or operational result.
Unless expressly supported by evidence and stated otherwise, examples of possible benefits describe intended support rather than guaranteed outcomes.
We aim to keep website information current
We take reasonable care in preparing and maintaining information published on the website.
However, website content may become outdated, incomplete or inaccurate as our proposition, evidence, technology or external circumstances change.
We may amend, replace or remove website content without prior notice.
We do not promise that the website will always be available, uninterrupted or free from errors.
Start with the situation, not confidential material
You are responsible for ensuring that information you provide through the website is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you are entitled to provide it.
Our initial enquiry process is not intended for:
- confidential client documents;
- special category personal data;
- sensitive personal information;
- passwords or authentication credentials; or
- detailed confidential internal records.
Where additional information is relevant to a potential engagement, its purpose, scope and appropriate handling should first be agreed.
Please use the website lawfully and responsibly
You must not knowingly use the website:
- for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose;
- in a way that infringes another person's rights;
- to introduce malicious software, harmful code or other damaging material;
- to attempt unauthorised access to the website, its infrastructure or connected systems;
- to interfere with the normal operation, availability or security of the website;
- to obtain information by automated means in a manner that places an unreasonable burden on the website or circumvents access controls; or
- to misrepresent an association with or endorsement by Growvation.
We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect the website, our systems, our users or our legal rights.
Growvation website content
Copyright and other intellectual property rights in original Growvation website content, including text, graphics, diagrams, methodology descriptions and other materials, belong to OBT Synergy Ltd or are used by us with appropriate permission.
You may view and use website content for your own legitimate informational and business evaluation purposes.
You must not reproduce, republish, sell, commercially exploit or materially adapt Growvation content without our permission, except where applicable law expressly allows it.
Nothing on the website grants a licence to use Growvation's branding, logo, product names or other distinctive materials in a way that implies endorsement, partnership or authority.
External websites are outside our control
The Growvation website may contain links to websites or services operated by other organisations.
A link does not necessarily mean that Growvation endorses, approves or accepts responsibility for the third party, its content, products, services, security or privacy practices.
You should review the relevant terms and privacy information when using third-party websites or services.
Fair and accurate links are welcome
You may link to publicly available pages on this website where the link is made fairly and lawfully.
You must not create a link in a way that:
- suggests Growvation endorses you, your organisation or your services when it does not;
- misrepresents your relationship with Growvation;
- uses Growvation branding without permission; or
- places Growvation content in a misleading or unlawful context.
Reasonable limits relating to use of the website
You remain responsible for how you use information obtained from this website and for decisions made on the basis of that information.
To the extent permitted by law, OBT Synergy Ltd is not responsible for loss arising solely from reliance on general website information where no separate Growvation engagement has been agreed.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so.
In particular, nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.
Mandatory rights are not affected
These terms are intended primarily for a business and professional website.
Nothing in these terms is intended to remove or restrict any mandatory legal right that applies to you and cannot lawfully be excluded.
We may update these terms
We may update these Website Terms of Use when the website, Growvation's proposition or applicable requirements change.
The date at the top of this page identifies the current version. Updated terms apply to use of the website after they are published.
