Reliance on information on this site

The content on our site is provided for general information only. It is not intended to amount to advice on which you should rely. You must obtain professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from, any action on the basis of the content on our site.

Our site provides a service where you can obtain information from suppliers of services/products and where a transaction between you and such suppliers for the provision of those services/products may be facilitated.

In providing our service we are not giving you any advice in respect of any of the services/products offered by suppliers nor are we recommending or endorsing any supplier or any services/products.  It is your responsibility to ensure that any products, services or information available through our site meet your specific requirements.

When you enter a transaction with a supplier for the provision of services/products, you are contracting directly with that supplier (and not with us).  You are responsible for fulfilling the terms of any contract you make with a supplier.

Although we make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information provided to us by suppliers of services/products and published on our site is accurate, we obtain this information from third parties and we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the information on our site is accurate, complete or up to date nor that the services/products offered by suppliers are suitable for your purposes.

We are not responsible for websites we link to

Where our site contains links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your information only. Such links should not be interpreted as approval by us of those linked websites or information you may obtain from them.

We have no control over the contents of those sites or resources.

  • use of or reliance on any content displayed on our site;
  • any failure or delay in the provision of any services by a supplier to any user;
  • any use or reliance on any information obtained through our site using the services provided by our site (including, without limitation, any information relating to services/products provided by a supplier); or
