Legal

These terms govern your use of this website, operated by Whitewells Engineering & Consulting Services. By using the site you accept them.

Status of the information published

This website describes the engineering, consulting and project-delivery scope offered by Whitewells and sets out general technical considerations relevant to that scope.

Information published on this website is general in nature and should not be treated as project-specific engineering advice. Engineering recommendations depend on the particular asset, operating environment, design basis and project requirements.

No engineering advice and no reliance

Nothing on this website constitutes engineering, materials, integrity, safety, regulatory, commercial or legal advice, and no engineer-client or advisory relationship is created by reading it or by sending an enquiry. Project-specific advice is provided only under a written engagement setting out an agreed scope, design basis, standards, deliverables and limits of liability.

Enquiries and the material you send us

Submitting an enquiry does not create a contract or oblige Whitewells to accept the work. You may attach general technical material to an enquiry, and anything you send is treated as commercially confidential and circulated only to the Whitewells personnel assessing it, as set out in our Privacy Policy. Please do not send export-controlled, security-sensitive or third-party proprietary material through this website. Where sensitive design, integrity or failure information is involved, contact us first so that a confidentiality agreement can be put in place before detailed material is exchanged.

Acceptable use

  • Use the site only for lawful business purposes.
  • Do not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site or its infrastructure.
  • Do not use automated systems to scrape or overload the site, or submit malicious files through the enquiry form.
  • Do not misrepresent your identity or the organisation you represent.

Intellectual property

All content on this website — including text, technical descriptions, diagrams, photography, the Whitewells name and logo, and the site's design — is owned by Whitewells Engineering & Consulting Services or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property law.

You may view the site and print or download extracts for your own internal business assessment. Any other use — including republication, redistribution, commercial reuse, or use to train or ground automated systems — requires our prior written permission.

Accuracy and availability

We take care to keep the information on this site accurate and current, but it is provided on an "as is" basis without warranty of accuracy, completeness or fitness for a particular purpose. Content, capabilities and this document may change without notice, and we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the site.

External links

Where this site links to third-party websites, those links are provided for convenience only. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, availability or practices of external sites.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Whitewells accepts no liability for loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, information published on this website, including indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, production or contract. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud.

Privacy

Information you submit through this website is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms from time to time. The version published on this page at the time you use the site is the version that applies.

Governing law

A governing law and jurisdiction clause is not asserted on this page. Whitewells Engineering & Consulting Services is completing confirmation of its governing law and jurisdiction with professional legal advice, and this section will be updated once that confirmation is in place. In the meantime, the terms of any written engagement between us take precedence for project work.
