Welcome to our website (www.executivecompass.co.uk): you may use it if you agree to the following terms which we strongly advise you to read carefully. By using our website you agree to be bound by these terms. We value your custom and have gone to considerable effort to create terms that are fair to you and us. If you disagree that they are fair, please feel free to make constructive recommendations to us by contacting us.
We reserve the right to make reasonable changes to these terms as well as any changes caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control at any time and except in cases of emergency we will give you one month’s notice of any changes by posting them on our website: you are advised to check the latest terms from time to time.

Interpretation
Any headings are for ease of use and are not intended to form part of the terms nor affect their interpretation.
In these terms, reference to “we”, “us”, “our” and “ours” refers to Executive Compass (registered number 6898662 and having its registered office at Studio 5, The Kiln, Hoults Yard, Walker Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE6 2HL) and reference to “you”, “your” and “yours” refers to the legal entity placing an order for advertising. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, it will be whatever company name is used in written, electronic or telephonic communications.
These terms are to be interpreted according to English law and any dispute that cannot be resolved through mediation will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of English courts of law.
General Provisions
We may from time to time link to other websites – please do not treat the existence of any links as us endorsing that website. We endeavour not to link to irresponsible websites but cannot intervene in disputes regarding the nature or content of any linked sites or the effect of them on your computer system. The terms of use and privacy policies of those sites will apply to their use.
These terms are not intended to benefit any third party.
We reserve the right to terminate services to you without refund if you materially violate these terms.

Your Indemnity Against Liabilities, etc
You agree to indemnify us fully on an ongoing basis against all costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable fees for obtaining legal advice) actually incurred by us as a result of your breach of these terms.
No Liability for Content of Other Users
We have limited control over the content posted by users and as such cannot accept responsibility for any such content until such time as you bring it to our attention, allowing us a reasonable time for response.
No Liability for Viruses, etc
Our server contains up-to-date virus protection software. However, the nature of virus, worms, trojans and other devices that may impact the use of your computer system is that we cannot guarantee that our website and its content are free of them and we cannot accept responsibility for any loss arising from such things. You are therefore urged to make sure that you have up-to-date virus protection software on all parts of your system that may be affected by such an attack and to take appropriate regular backups of your system to minimise any losses that may arise.
Confidentiality
You agree at all times to respect the privacy and confidentiality of a potential seller or buyer who contacts to you through the website. We strongly advise you to enter into a confidentiality agreement (also known as an “NDA” or “non-disclosure agreement”) – make sure they are mutual for fairness and to engender trust.
Privacy
You understand that by sending us your email address, you are providing personal data to us. As such, you warrant that you have the consent of the person whose name you have given to appear in the advertisement in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and agree to indemnify us against any costs, claims and liabilities arising from any breach of that Act in the supply of that information. In particular, you warrant that you have informed all people whose name, email address or other personal data you have supplied that by consenting they are acknowledging that they are aware that their personal data will be available worldwide including in jurisdictions where the data protection laws are not adequate by EU standards. You understand that through making contact with us, your details may be used for future marketing purposes and you may receive email marketing material. you can opt out of this via email.
Accessibility
Whilst we agree to use reasonable endeavours to ensure a properly functioning, accessible website, it is technically impossible to guarantee access to the website 100% of the time or error-free functionality and we will not accept any responsibility for losses resulting from any temporary interruption of or other problems with service. If any errors come to your attention, please notify us immediately and we will endeavour to remedy the problem as soon as reasonably possible. Our website is designed to be viewable by Microsoft Internet Explorer Version [5.0] upwards and Mozilla Firefox and we do not guarantee performance using any other browser and we are not responsible for the effectiveness of non-text content for your advertisement.
Exemptions and exclusions
Whilst we are committed to producing a great website combined with useful information, the content contained on this website cannot be guaranteed to be genuine, therefore you are strongly advised to obtain independendant advice before committing to a payment, we cannot accept responsibility for any losses arising from failure to do so.
Neither you nor we are responsible for any breach of these terms insofar as that breach is a result of something beyond our reasonable control but both you and we agree that if that situation arises, we will do everything we reasonably can to overcome that problem as soon as possible.
Strange as it may seem, for legal reasons we must inform you that any liability for fraud, death and personal injury resulting from our negligence is excluded from the effect of this clause.
