These terms govern your use of versionzero.co.uk and any services provided by Version Zero. Version Zero is a trading style of Bright Sustainability Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 15484715, with its registered office at 75 Royal Court Drive, Bolton, England, BL1 4AZ. References to "we", "us", and "our" mean Bright Sustainability Ltd trading as Version Zero.

Acceptance

By using this website you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site. If we agree to deliver work for you, the specific scope, fees, and timeline will be set out in a separate written proposal or statement of work, which will take precedence over these terms where there is any conflict.

Services we offer

Through the site we describe and may agree to deliver services including answer-engine optimisation (AEO), website rebuilds and Astro migrations, MVP and small-product development, and related advisory work. The site is for information only — no agreement to provide services is formed until we both sign or email-confirm a written proposal.

Intellectual property

All content on this website — including text, graphics, code samples, and the Version Zero name and brand — is owned by Bright Sustainability Ltd or licensed to us, and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may view and share links to the site for personal and lawful business use. You may not copy, reproduce, or republish substantial parts of the site without our written permission.

Where we deliver work to you under a separate engagement, IP ownership of the deliverables is governed by that engagement's statement of work.

Payments and cancellation

Fees, payment schedules, and accepted payment methods (typically bank transfer or card via Stripe) are set out in the proposal or statement of work for each engagement. Invoices are due within 14 days of issue unless otherwise agreed.

If you are a consumer in the UK, you have the right to cancel a contract for services within 14 days of entering into it under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. This right does not apply once we've started work with your express agreement, or to bespoke deliverables already produced. Most of our clients are businesses, in which case the cancellation terms in the statement of work apply.

Use of the website

You agree not to use the site in any way that breaks the law, disrupts the service, attempts to gain unauthorised access, or interferes with other users. We reserve the right to refuse access to anyone who breaches these terms.

Liability

We make reasonable efforts to keep the site accurate and available, but we provide it on an "as is" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any indirect or consequential loss — including loss of profit, revenue, or data — arising from your use of the site or any content on it. Our total liability to you in connection with the site or any free content is limited to £100. Liability under paid engagements is governed by the relevant statement of work.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded under English law.

Third-party links

The site may link to third-party websites or services. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or their handling of your data.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The effective date at the top of the page reflects the most recent change. Material changes affecting active engagements will be communicated by email.
