LEGAL
Terms of use.
The terms covering this website, and the standard basis on which we take on work. Every project also gets its own written proposal.
LAST UPDATED — 1 AUGUST 2026
Who we are
Forgentix Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 17235330, registered office 167–169 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5PF. Contact: forgentix@gmail.com.
Part 1 — Using this website
The content here
Everything on www.forgentix.co.uk is provided for general information. We keep it accurate but make no guarantee that it is complete or current, and nothing on it is professional advice you should act on without talking to us first.
Case studies and figures
Client work is described in anonymised form. Any figures shown are indicative of the engagement described and are not a promise of the results you would get — every operation is different.
Ownership
The design, text, code and brand marks on this site belong to us. You're welcome to read, share and quote it with attribution; you may not republish it as your own.
Links out
We're not responsible for the content of sites we link to.
Part 2 — Our services
These are the defaults. What actually governs a project is the written proposal and statement of work we agree with you — where the two disagree, the proposal wins.
Proposals and scope
We quote fixed scope and fixed price. A proposal sets out what we'll build, what it costs, how long it takes and what success looks like. Proposals are valid for 30 days. Work starts when you accept in writing.
Changes to scope are agreed in writing before we do them, with any effect on price and timeline stated up front. We would rather have an awkward conversation early than a surprise invoice late.
Payment
- Pilot projects: 50% on acceptance, 50% on delivery, unless agreed otherwise.
- Retainers: monthly in advance.
- Invoices are payable within 14 days.
- Prices exclude VAT where applicable. For customers outside the UK, tax is handled according to the rules that apply in your country.
- Late payment may attract interest and costs under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
Who owns what we build
You own the code we write for you, transferring on full payment. No licence fees back to us, ever.
Two sensible exceptions. We keep ownership of general-purpose tools, libraries and techniques we bring with us or develop generally — you get a perpetual licence to use them as part of your system. And third-party components keep their own licences.
Your responsibilities
Projects need timely access to the people, systems, data and decisions we agree on. If those stall, timelines move — we'll tell you as soon as we see it happening.
Confidentiality
We keep your confidential information confidential, and we expect the same. We will not name you publicly, describe your systems, or use your work in our marketing without your written agreement.
Liability
We do not limit liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.
Otherwise, our total liability for any project is capped at the fees paid for that project, and we are not liable for loss of profit, revenue, data or business, or for indirect or consequential loss.
Ending an engagement
Retainers can be cancelled by either side with 30 days' written notice. Projects can be ended by either side for material breach that isn't put right within 14 days of being raised. If work ends early, you pay for what's been done and you keep it.
Governing law
These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
