Part A — Website Terms
4. Website use
You may use the Website for lawful purposes only. You must not misuse the Website, attempt to gain unauthorised access, disrupt service availability, or use automated systems to scrape or copy content at scale without permission.
5. Content and intellectual property
The Website content (including text, branding, designs, and layout) is owned by or licensed to Onmain and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may view and print pages for your own personal or internal business use, but you must not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without written permission.
6. Links to third parties
The Website may contain links to third-party sites. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, policies, or availability. Accessing third-party links is at your own risk.
7. Availability and changes
We aim to keep the Website available and accurate, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may modify, suspend, or remove parts of the Website at any time.
8. Estimators, chatbots, and automated tools
If the Website provides estimator/chatbot features, outputs are guidance only and may be based on limited information. Final pricing, scope, and feasibility may require inspection or clarification. You should not rely on automated outputs as professional advice.
Part B — General Service Terms (IT maintenance, support, projects)
9. Quotes and scope
- Any quote/estimate is based on the information you provide and may change if the scope, requirements, or underlying issue changes.
- Where we provide an estimate range, the final price may require additional confirmation after diagnosis, testing, or review of requirements.
- Unless agreed otherwise, services are limited to the scope explicitly confirmed in writing (message/email/booking).
10. Booking, access, and customer responsibilities
- You must provide accurate information and reasonable access to devices, accounts, premises, or stakeholders needed to deliver the Services.
- You are responsible for maintaining your own backups unless we explicitly agree in writing to provide backup services.
- Where account credentials are required, you should use secure methods and only share access necessary for the task.
- You must ensure you have rights/permissions to any software, content, data, or systems you ask us to work with.
11. Third-party products and services
Some services may depend on third-party providers (hosting, software licences, cloud platforms, payment processors, etc.). We are not responsible for third-party outages, changes, or failures. Any third-party fees are typically separate unless we explicitly include them in a written quote.
12. Changes and additional work
If you request changes outside the agreed scope, we may require a revised quote or timeline. We may pause work until changes are confirmed.
13. Fees, payment, and late payment
- Fees are payable as agreed in the quote/booking. Some work may require an advance payment or deposit (for example, project work or reserved time slots).
- Unless agreed otherwise, invoices are due on receipt.
- We may suspend Services for overdue balances.
14. Cancellations
If you cancel or reschedule, please notify us as early as possible. Where we have reserved time, booked travel, or started work, you may be charged for time spent and any non-refundable costs already incurred.
15. Warranties and disclaimers (general services)
We will provide Services with reasonable care and skill. Except where required by law, we do not guarantee that Services will be error-free or uninterrupted, or that issues will never reoccur due to external factors (updates, user changes, third-party changes, new malware, hardware failure, etc.).
16. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so (including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation).
Subject to the above, to the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for:
- loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, or anticipated savings;
- indirect or consequential loss;
- loss of data where you have not maintained backups (unless agreed otherwise in writing);
- issues caused by third-party providers or factors outside our reasonable control.
Where liability is permitted, our total liability for a claim will not exceed the fees you paid to us for the specific Services giving rise to the claim.
17. Consumer rights
If you are a consumer (not acting for business purposes), UK consumer laws give you rights that cannot be excluded. These Terms do not affect those rights.
Part C — Hardware Repair Services Addendum (Onmain Systems)
This section applies only if we accept a hardware repair job (diagnostics/repair/replacement parts). If we do not offer hardware repairs at a given time, this section simply won’t apply.
18. Diagnostics and quotations
- A diagnostic fee may be charged for inspection and testing to identify faults and possible solutions.
- After diagnostics, we will provide a repair quotation for approval before repair work continues.
- If the device cannot be successfully repaired, only the diagnostic fee will apply (unless we agree otherwise in writing).
19. Replacement parts
- Replacement parts are quoted in advance and fitted only with your approval.
- Parts used may be OEM or high-quality equivalents. Part pricing and options will be communicated before installation.
- Where parts availability or pricing changes, we may need to revise the quote and request re-approval.
20. Payment terms (hardware repairs)
- Full payment is due after repair is completed and approved.
- If a diagnostic fee applies and you decline the repair after diagnosis, the diagnostic fee remains payable.
21. Warranty and exclusions (hardware repairs)
- We provide a 30-day limited warranty on repairs, covering the specific issue addressed.
- This warranty does not cover physical damage, liquid damage, accidental damage, misuse, or issues unrelated to the original repair.
- Devices with pre-existing faults may have higher risk of additional failure; we are not responsible for unrelated faults that appear later.
22. Data and devices
Repairs can carry a risk of data loss. You should back up your device before providing it to us. Unless agreed otherwise in writing, you remain responsible for backups and data security. If you provide device passcodes, you confirm you are authorised to do so.
23. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction, except where consumer law requires otherwise.
