Website Terms

Last updated: 25 July 2026

These Website Terms govern access to and use of the DS Risk Group website. By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not accept them, please stop using the website.

1. About us

This website is operated by DS Risk Group Ltd, an independent risk, compliance and operational consultancy based in North Yorkshire and supporting clients across the United Kingdom.

• Company number: 17225084
• Email: info@dsriskgroup.co.uk

2. Other terms that may apply

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data. Separate Terms and Conditions of Business, quotations, proposals or statements of work apply to paid services. If there is a conflict concerning a paid engagement, the specific written service agreement will take priority over these Website Terms.

3. Website availability

The website is provided on an “as available” basis. We may suspend, withdraw, restrict or change any part of it without notice for maintenance, security, operational or commercial reasons. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, freedom from errors, or compatibility with every device or browser.

4. No professional or legal advice

Website content is general information only. It is not legal advice, a site-specific risk assessment, professional certification, statutory inspection, engineering advice or a substitute for competent advice based on your circumstances. You must not rely on website content as the sole basis for legal, safety, financial, contractual or operational decisions.

Descriptions, examples, FAQs, prices and turnaround periods are illustrative unless confirmed in a written quotation. No website content creates a consultant-client relationship or obligation to accept work.

5. Your responsibility

You are responsible for checking whether information is accurate, current and suitable for your intended use. Laws, guidance, standards and operational circumstances can change. You should obtain appropriate specialist advice and complete any required site-specific review before implementation.

6. Acceptable use

You must use the website lawfully and must not:

• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, server, administrator area or connected systems;
• introduce malware, harmful code, automated attacks or excessive traffic;
• scrape, copy, harvest or extract content or personal data at scale without permission;
• misrepresent your identity or submit false, unlawful, defamatory or infringing material;
• use the website to facilitate fraud, unlawful conduct or infringement of another person’s rights; or
• interfere with the website’s availability, security or operation.

We may block access, preserve evidence and report suspected unlawful activity where appropriate.

7. Accounts and administration

Any administration or restricted-access area is confidential. Authorised users must keep credentials secure, use strong passwords and notify us promptly of suspected compromise. You are responsible for activity carried out using credentials issued to you unless caused by our breach.

8. Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, DS Risk Group owns or is licensed to use the website design, branding, text, graphics, downloads, templates and other content. Copyright, trade mark and other intellectual property rights are reserved.

You may view pages and print or download reasonable extracts for your own internal, non-commercial reference. You must not reproduce, republish, sell, license, adapt, remove notices from, commercially exploit or create derivative products from website content without prior written permission.

9. Resources and downloads

Free or paid resources are supplied for the stated purpose and subject to any licence or product terms shown at purchase or download. Generic templates must be adapted and competently checked before use. Purchase or download does not transfer ownership of underlying intellectual property.

10. User submissions

Information submitted through a form must be accurate, lawful and limited to what is reasonably required. You must have authority to provide personal data, confidential information or third-party materials. Submission does not guarantee acceptance of an instruction or create a contract.

11. Links to third-party websites

Third-party links are provided for convenience only and do not imply endorsement. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, products or privacy practices. You access external services at your own risk and subject to their terms.

12. Linking to this website

You may link fairly and lawfully to the public homepage, provided the link does not damage our reputation, imply an association or endorsement that does not exist, or frame the website within another site. We may withdraw linking permission at any time.

13. Viruses and security

We take proportionate precautions but cannot guarantee that the website or downloadable material will always be secure or free from harmful components. You should use appropriate security software, backups and checks before downloading or relying on material.

14. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, DS Risk Group excludes implied warranties relating to the website and will not be liable for loss arising from:

• reliance on general website content without appropriate professional review;
• website interruption, delay, incompatibility or loss of access;
• viruses, cyber incidents or third-party websites outside our reasonable control; or
• loss of profit, revenue, opportunity, anticipated savings, goodwill, data or any indirect or consequential loss.

If you use the website as a consumer, nothing in these terms affects mandatory rights available to you under applicable consumer law.

15. Indemnity for unlawful use

Where you use the website in the course of business, you will be responsible for reasonable losses, liabilities and costs incurred by DS Risk Group as a direct result of your unlawful use, infringement of intellectual property rights, or material breach of these terms.

16. Changes to these terms

We may amend these terms from time to time. The revised terms apply from publication. You should check this page when returning to the website.

17. Severability and waiver

If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect. A delay in enforcing a right does not waive that right.

18. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms and any non-contractual dispute are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction for business users. Consumers retain any mandatory right to bring proceedings in another applicable UK jurisdiction.
