Terms of Service

1. Services Overview

HR Academy Ltd provides human resources advisory, people-operations consulting, recruitment, coaching, and related services. The scope of services delivered to each client is defined in the relevant Statement of Work, engagement letter, or similar agreement ("Engagement Agreement"). These Terms apply to visitors of our website and to prospective clients evaluating our offerings.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement to use our Services. If you access the Services on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have the authority to do so and that the organisation accepts responsibility for your use.

3. Client Engagements

Engagement Agreements take precedence over these Terms with respect to the specific services agreed. In the absence of such an agreement, these Terms represent the entire understanding between you and HR Academy Ltd regarding the Services. Proposals, statements of work, and other documents will outline scope, deliverables, assumptions, timelines, and fees for each engagement.

4. Intellectual Property

All content, frameworks, templates, methodologies, and materials provided by HR Academy Ltd remain our intellectual property unless otherwise agreed in writing. We grant clients a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use deliverables for internal business purposes. You may not distribute, sell, or publicly share our materials without prior written consent.

5. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to protect the other’s confidential information and use it solely for the purposes of the engagement. Confidential information includes business plans, employee data, financial information, strategies, and any non-public information disclosed during the course of the relationship. Exceptions apply where disclosure is required by law or consent is provided in writing.

6. Fees, Invoicing, and Expenses

Fees for our Services are specified in the Engagement Agreement. Unless stated otherwise, fees are exclusive of taxes and expenses. All invoices are payable within 14 days of receipt. Late payments may incur interest at the rate permitted by applicable law. You agree to reimburse reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in delivering the Services, provided these are pre-approved and supported by receipts.

7. Warranties and Disclaimers

We warrant that we will perform the Services with reasonable care, skill, and professionalism consistent with industry standards. Except as expressly stated, the Services are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee specific business outcomes, hiring results, or compliance certifications.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising from or related to these Terms or the Services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. HR Academy’s total liability for any claim arising under these Terms is limited to the fees paid by you for the Services giving rise to the claim in the 12 months preceding the event.

9. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless HR Academy Ltd and its directors, employees, and contractors from any claims, losses, or damages arising out of your breach of these Terms or misuse of the Services, provided such claims are not caused by our negligence or misconduct.

10. Termination

Either party may terminate the Services in accordance with the notice period specified in the Engagement Agreement or, if none is specified, with 30 days’ written notice. We may suspend or terminate access to the Services immediately if you breach these Terms or any applicable law. Upon termination, you remain responsible for fees incurred up to the termination date.

11. Data Protection

We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Each party will comply with applicable data protection laws and ensure that personal data is collected, processed, and shared lawfully. Data processing terms may be incorporated into specific Engagement Agreements when required.

12. Third-Party Services

Our Services may incorporate or link to third-party tools or platforms. We are not responsible for the availability or performance of third-party services. Use of such services is subject to the third-party’s terms and policies.

13. Non-Solicitation

During the engagement and for 12 months after completion, you agree not to solicit or hire HR Academy Ltd employees or contractors involved in delivering the Services, except with our written consent. This clause does not restrict general recruitment advertising.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales to resolve any dispute arising out of these Terms or the Services.

15. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. General Provisions

• Independent contractors: The parties are independent contractors. These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship.
• Assignment: You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations without our written consent. We may assign our rights to an affiliate or in connection with a reorganisation.
• Entire agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any Engagement Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between the parties.
