1. Website Information

The content on this website is provided for general information about Synv and its services.

It is not intended to amount to:

  • legal advice;
  • financial advice;
  • tax advice;
  • regulatory advice;
  • investment advice;
  • security advice for a particular environment; or
  • technical advice for a specific project.

You should obtain appropriate professional advice before acting or refraining from acting where the consequences of relying on information may be significant.

Although we aim to keep website information accurate and current, we do not guarantee that all content will always be:

  • complete;
  • accurate;
  • up to date;
  • suitable for a particular purpose; or
  • free from errors or omissions.

1. No Offer or Contract

Nothing on this website constitutes a binding offer by Synv.

Descriptions of services, capabilities, technologies, delivery approaches and potential timescales are general and may not apply to a particular project.

A contract will only arise when the relevant parties expressly agree an appropriate contractual arrangement.

Submitting a contact form, sending an email, arranging a meeting, receiving an initial response or discussing a potential project does not by itself create a contract.

1. Project Pricing

Pricing is available on application.

Any early estimate, indication or discussion of potential cost is:

  • indicative only;
  • based on the information available at that time;
  • subject to technical and commercial review;
  • subject to confirmation of the scope; and
  • not binding unless expressly included in an agreed contract.

Any formal proposal will explain the scope, delivery approach, commercial structure, assumptions and relevant responsibilities.

1. Changes to the Website

We may change, update, replace or remove any part of the website without notice.

This may include:

  • descriptions of services;
  • examples of capability;
  • project information;
  • website functions;
  • page layouts;
  • availability; and
  • these Website Terms of Use.

We are not required to keep historic website content available.

  • platform updates;
  • technical faults;

  • illustrations;

All rights are reserved.

  • remove copyright or ownership notices;
  • copy Synv branding in a misleading way;
  • create derivative commercial materials;
  • present our content as your own;
  • use our content to market a competing service; or
  • use automated systems to create a substantial database from our website.

You may share links to publicly available pages provided that this is done lawfully and does not suggest an association or endorsement that does not exist.

1. Customer and Third-Party Material

Some content may refer generally to customer projects, industries, systems, technologies or business challenges.

Rights in customer names, trademarks, software, artwork, models, documents and other third-party material remain with their respective owners.

The inclusion of a technology name or trademark does not necessarily indicate sponsorship, approval or endorsement.

Where a project is described anonymously, you must not attempt to identify the customer through unauthorised access, unlawful activity or misuse of information.

1. Information You Submit

You are responsible for information you submit through the website or send to us.

You should ensure that information is:

  • accurate;
  • lawful;
  • relevant;
  • not misleading;
  • provided with appropriate authority;
  • not defamatory;
  • not malicious; and
  • not in breach of another person's rights or obligations.

You retain ownership of information and materials that you provide.

You give Synv permission to review, copy, store and internally share submitted information to the extent reasonably necessary to:

  • assess your enquiry;
  • communicate with you;
  • consider whether we can assist;
  • identify suitable technical resources;
  • prepare an estimate or proposal; and
  • manage any resulting business relationship.

Our use of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy.

1. Confidential Information and Project Ideas

We understand that enquiries may relate to commercially valuable ideas, products, processes or systems.

However, the general website enquiry form and info@synv.dev email address are not intended to operate as a secure data room.

Submitting information through the website or by general email does not automatically:

  • create a confidential relationship;
  • create a fiduciary relationship;
  • create exclusivity;
  • prevent Synv from working within a similar industry;
  • prevent Synv from considering a similar general concept;
  • transfer intellectual property;
  • grant a licence; or
  • create a non-disclosure agreement.

You should not submit highly sensitive information through the general enquiry form, including:

  • passwords;
  • security credentials;
  • access tokens;
  • confidential source code;
  • complete personal data sets;
  • regulated information;
  • trade secrets;
  • live customer data; or
  • information you are not authorised to disclose.

Where formal confidentiality is required, an appropriate non-disclosure agreement can be discussed before detailed confidential information is exchanged.

Nothing in this section removes or limits a confidentiality obligation that Synv has expressly accepted in writing.

1. Project Intellectual Property

Ownership of intellectual property created during a paid project will be governed by the relevant project agreement.

Nothing on this website transfers ownership of:

  • Synv's pre-existing materials;
  • customer materials;
  • project source code;
  • software;
  • designs;
  • documentation;
  • third-party components; or
  • other project deliverables.

Project-specific ownership and licensing arrangements must be recorded in the relevant written agreement.

1. Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

Links are provided for convenience or context.

Synv does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for:

  • their content;
  • availability;
  • security;
  • accuracy;
  • terms;
  • privacy practices;
  • cookies; or
  • any loss arising from their use.

A link does not necessarily mean that Synv approves, recommends, sponsors or is commercially associated with the third party.

1. Links to Our Website

You may link to our homepage or another publicly available page in a fair and lawful way.

You must not:

  • suggest that Synv endorses you where it does not;
  • misrepresent your relationship with Synv;
  • frame the website within another website without permission;
  • link from unlawful, deceptive or harmful content;
  • use our branding without permission; or
  • use a link in a way that damages our reputation.

We may ask you to remove a link where we reasonably believe it is unlawful, misleading or harmful.

1. Viruses and Security

We take reasonable steps to operate and protect the website.

However, we do not guarantee that the website will always be secure or free from:

  • viruses;
  • malware;
  • vulnerabilities;
  • harmful code;
  • unauthorised interference; or
  • technical defects.

You are responsible for using appropriate:

  • device security;
  • software updates;
  • antivirus protection;
  • access controls; and
  • backup arrangements.

You must not attempt to introduce harmful material or gain unauthorised access to the website, hosting environment or connected systems.

1. Our Responsibility to You

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

This includes liability for:

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

The website is provided on an "as available" basis for general information.

Subject to the paragraph above and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Synv is not responsible for loss arising solely from:

  • reliance on general website content;
  • temporary or permanent website unavailability;
  • a third-party website or service;
  • malware or interference introduced by a third party;
  • information submitted inaccurately or without authority;
  • use of the website contrary to these terms; or
  • circumstances outside our reasonable control.

1. Business Users

Synv's services are primarily intended for businesses, organisations and professional users.

Where you use the website for business purposes, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Synv will not be responsible for:

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

arising solely from the use of, or inability to use, the public website.

Any liability relating to a paid project or contracted service will be governed by the relevant project agreement.

1. Consumers

Nothing in these terms affects any statutory rights that apply to a consumer and cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

The website does not currently allow visitors to purchase software development or consultancy services through an automated online checkout.

Any proposed engagement will be discussed and agreed separately.

1. Privacy and Cookies

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal information.

Our Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used.

By using the website, you should review those policies alongside these terms.

1. Suspension and Termination

We may restrict or block access to the website where we reasonably believe that a person:

  • has breached these terms;
  • is attempting unauthorised access;
  • is creating a security risk;
  • is interfering with the website;
  • is using automated tools improperly; or
  • is acting unlawfully.

This does not limit any other rights or remedies available to us.

1. Severability

If a provision of these terms is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be treated as modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

If modification is not possible, the relevant provision will be treated as deleted.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

1. No Waiver

If Synv does not immediately enforce a right or provision, this does not mean that the right or provision has been waived.

A waiver is only effective where it is expressly given.

1. Transfer of Rights

You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these terms to another person without our written agreement.

We may transfer our rights and obligations where reasonably necessary in connection with:

  • a restructuring;
  • a business sale;
  • an investment;
  • a merger;
  • an acquisition; or
  • the transfer of the website or relevant business activity.

Any transfer will not reduce rights that cannot lawfully be reduced.

1. Third-Party Rights

Unless expressly stated otherwise, no person other than you and Synv has a right to enforce these terms under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

1. Governing Law

These terms and any non-contractual dispute or claim relating to the website are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

1. Jurisdiction

If you use the website for business purposes, the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes relating to these terms or the website.

If you are a consumer, you may have the right to bring proceedings in another part of the United Kingdom where you live, where applicable law provides that right.
