We do not control third-party websites merely because the Site links to them.

We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, security, availability, privacy practices or terms of third-party websites or services.

The inclusion of a link does not necessarily constitute endorsement.

If you access a third-party website, you do so subject to the terms and policies applicable to that service.

take appropriate legal action where necessary;

sufficient information for us to investigate.

You should ensure that any infringement complaint is made accurately and in good faith.

13. TERM AND TERMINATION

a breach of these Terms;
unlawful activity;
malicious activity;
attempted unauthorised access;

another threat to the Site or its users.

Termination or restriction of access does not affect rights or obligations that arose before termination.

14. MODIFICATIONS AND INTERRUPTIONS

We reserve the right to change, modify, update or remove Site content from time to time.

We may also change, suspend or discontinue parts of the Site.

We cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability.

outdated information; or
technical errors.

We reserve the right to correct or update information without prior notice.

16. WEBSITE INFORMATION

Information presented on the Site is provided for general information and promotional purposes.

Although we take reasonable care in preparing Site content, information should not automatically be treated as project-specific professional advice.

Architectural, planning, technical, construction and regulatory matters depend on the circumstances of each project.

Previous projects displayed on the Site may also have been designed or completed under requirements that have subsequently changed.

You should obtain appropriate project-specific professional advice where necessary.

17. PROJECTS, DRAWINGS AND VISUALISATIONS

architectural drawings;
plans;
sketches;
models;
renderings;
visualisations;
photographs;
technical information; and
project descriptions.

These may represent different stages of design development.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, material displayed as part of the portfolio must not be relied upon as construction information, fabrication information, statutory approval information or technical instructions for another project.

Visualisations and design imagery may be illustrative and do not guarantee that every element was or will be constructed exactly as shown.

18. SERVICES AND PRICING

Descriptions of services on the Site provide general information about services that Parkinson Design may offer.

The scope of services actually provided for a particular project will depend upon the relevant agreement, appointment, proposal or quotation.

Any prices, hourly rates, estimated fees or other commercial information displayed on the Site are subject to the terms stated alongside them and may require project-specific confirmation.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, information displayed on the Site does not oblige Parkinson Design to accept a project or provide a particular service.

Accordingly, before taking any actions based upon such information, we encourage you to consult with the appropriate professionals. We do not provide any kind of architectural advice. THE USE OR RELIANCE OF ANY INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE SITE OR OUR MOBILE APPLICATION IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

20. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful.

In particular, nothing excludes or limits liability for:

death or personal injury caused by negligence where liability cannot lawfully be excluded;
fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
any other liability that applicable law does not permit us to exclude.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Parkinson Design will not be liable for indirect or consequential loss arising solely from use of, or inability to access, the Site where such loss was not reasonably foreseeable.

We are not responsible for loss resulting from:

misuse of the Site;
unlawful activity by a visitor;
reliance on general Website material as project-specific professional advice;
failures of unrelated third-party services; or
events outside our reasonable control,

except where applicable law provides otherwise.

Nothing in these Terms affects statutory rights available to consumers.

Any liability arising from professional services provided by Parkinson Design may be subject to separate contractual terms governing those services.

21. INDEMNITY FOR UNLAWFUL USE

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you will be responsible for losses, liabilities, claims or reasonable costs arising directly from your unlawful use of the Site or deliberate infringement of another person’s rights.

This provision does not apply to the extent that a loss was caused by Parkinson Design or cannot lawfully be allocated to you.

22. USER DATA

Information transmitted through the Site may be processed and stored for purposes including:

responding to enquiries;
maintaining Site functionality;
preventing spam;
maintaining security;
providing services; and
complying with legal obligations.

Personal information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Although appropriate technical and organisational safeguards are used, no electronic system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

23. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

Visiting the Site, submitting online forms and sending us emails are forms of electronic communication.

You agree that communications relating to your Website enquiry may be provided electronically where appropriate.

Electronic records may be retained where reasonably necessary for legal, contractual, professional or administrative purposes.

Where applicable law permits an agreement, notice or other communication to be supplied electronically, electronic delivery may satisfy the relevant requirement.

24. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms are governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Scotland.

Where applicable law permits, you and Parkinson Design agree that the Scottish courts will have jurisdiction in relation to disputes arising from these Terms.

If you are a consumer and mandatory law gives you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere, nothing in these Terms removes that right.

25. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

If a dispute arises concerning the Site or these Terms, we encourage the parties to attempt to resolve the matter through reasonable communication before commencing formal proceedings.

Either party remains entitled to pursue any legal remedy available to them.

Nothing in these Terms requires a consumer to surrender a statutory right or accept a dispute-resolution procedure that is not legally binding upon them.

26. FORCE MAJEURE

We will not be responsible for delay, interruption or failure of Site operation caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control.

This may include:

utility failures;
internet or telecommunications failures;
hosting outages;
natural disasters;
cyber incidents affecting third-party infrastructure;
government action; or
similar events.

This provision applies only to the extent permitted by law.

27. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be severed or limited to the minimum extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue in force.

28. WAIVER

Failure by Parkinson Design to enforce a provision of these Terms immediately does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other right.

29. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and any other terms expressly incorporated into them, constitute the agreement governing ordinary use of the Site.

Where separate contractual terms apply to professional services, those terms will additionally govern the relevant services.
