Any words following the terms including, include, in particular or for example or any similar phrase shall be construed as illustrative and shall not limit the generality of the related general words. - APPLICATION OF THESE TERMS
3.1. The terms of this Agreement apply to your use of the Website and to any updates or supplements to it which Recipe Advertising may issue from time to time, unless such additions are provided pursuant to separate terms, in which case those terms shall apply.
3.2. We may change these terms at any time without notice. Any such changes shall take effect on the next occasion that you make use of the Website. Any such new terms may be displayed on-screen when you next use the Website and you may be required to read and accept them in order to continue your use of the Website.
3.3. In consideration of you agreeing to abide by the terms of this Agreement, we grant you a non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to use the Website for the purpose of receiving the Services on your Devices, subject to these terms, the Privacy Policy and any applicable laws and regulations. We reserve all other rights. - ACCESS AND DATA
4.1. You will be assumed to have obtained permission from the owners of any Devices that are controlled, but not owned, by you which you may use to access or use the Website. You and they may be charged by your and their service providers for internet access on the Devices. You accept responsibility in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the use of the Website on any such Device, whether or not it is owned by you.
4.2. The terms of our privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and apply to your use of the Website and the Services. You acknowledge and agree that internet transmissions are never completely private or secure. You understand that any message or information you send using the Website may be read or intercepted by third parties, even if a particular transmission is encrypted.
4.3. As you use the Website we will collect and use technical information about the Devices (and related software, hardware and peripherals) that you use to access the Website and we may use that information to provide the Website to you and/or to optimise and improve the Website for you and other users.
4.4. The Website or any Service may contain links to other independent third-party websites (“Third-party Sites”). Third-party Sites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for and do not endorse their content or their privacy policies (if any). You will need to make your own independent judgement regarding your interaction with any Third-party Sites, including the purchase and use of any products or services accessible through them. - LEGAL STATUS OF ASSIGNMENTS
5.1. The Website facilitates introduction between Buyers and Providers. Users are not obliged to enter into any particular Assignments as a result of such introductions, nor is any user’s use of the Website conditional on the entering into of any particular Assignment.
5.2. Buyers and Providers will not be able to enter into Assignments using the Website. The Website’s functionality is limited to enabling Buyers to identify and contact potential providers of services (and, in the case of RFP-Leads to enable Providers to bid for work from Buyers). In the event that a Buyer wishes to enter into an Assignment with a Provider, then all arrangements relating to that Assignment must be conducted between the relevant Buyer and Provider directly.
5.3. Accordingly, where Buyers and Providers agree to enter into an Assignment as a result of any introduction, or other interaction, facilitated by or arising from use of the Website, the agreement which governs the conduct of that Assignment will exist between those two parties and Recipe Advertising will not be a party to it.
5.4. Pursuant to clause 5.3 Recipe Advertising shall not be responsible for the performance of, or payment for, any Assignment responsibility for settling any disputes arising from the same shall belong solely to the parties to the contract which governs that Assignment.
5.5. Accordingly, you release Recipe Advertising from all liability for claims, liabilities and losses arising from the type of arrangements described in this clause 5, and agree that Recipe Advertising shall have no liability for, or in relation to, any dispute which may arise between you and any other user of the Website for any reason.
5.6. In particular, in the event that a Buyer withholds payment from a Provider then any dispute between the two parties shall be subject to independent adjudication in a forum mutually agreed between them. Recipe Advertising is not and will not be responsible for adjudicating disputes between Providers and Hirers and shall not be a party to such proceedings.
5.7. Recipe Advertising does not provide or offer insurance cover to Providers or Buyers. Accordingly, Recipe Advertising recommends that all users take out independent insurance and that they take steps to satisfy themselves that all Providers or Buyers with whom they engage via the Website have adequate insurance in place.
5.8. While the Website may enable users to make representations as to their expertise and/or qualifications (or any other matter), these representations are not verified by Recipe Advertising. Accordingly, Recipe Advertising accepts no liability or responsibility for any such representations (including where any user makes false, misleading or otherwise incorrect statements) and you accept that you shall have sole responsibility for any representations that you may make via the Website.
5.9. Recipe may, from time to time, offer you the opportunity to purchase services from Providers on a Concierge Service basis. Where this is the case you recognise that such services will be provided pursuant to separate terms, which shall be entered into directly with Recipe Advertising at the relevant time. - BUYER CONDUCT
6.1. The Website contains functionality that enables Buyers to search for relevant Providers; that functionality is used by Buyers at their own discretion. Buyers are solely responsible for browsing for and selecting potential Providers. Recipe Advertising is not, and will not be, responsible for displaying, advertising or promoting any particular Provider to a Buyer.
6.2. Buyers are specifically put on notice that Providers are not employees, affiliates, agents or representatives of Recipe Advertising and that they offer their services as independent private contractors. Accordingly, Recipe Advertising shall not be a party to any contract between a Buyer and a Provider and shall have no liability or responsibility for the quality of any Provider’s work or for any other aspect of the performance or conduct of it. Providers and Buyers shall be responsible for agreeing terms for the performance of any Assignment between them and acknowledge that Recipe Advertising shall not be a party to such agreements.
6.3. Where the Website presents details of Providers in any kind of list or filtered search result, those details are provided purely for the convenience of the relevant Buyer. To the extent that the Website may ‘rank’ or list one Provider above another, this should be taken as no more than an opinion expressed by Recipe Advertising which has been arrived at via the functioning of the Website’s assessment of the relevancy of those Provider’s respective profiles in relation to the search query performed by that Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, Recipe Advertising makes no warranty or representation that any ‘ranking’ or preferential listing of any particular Provider is accurate and accepts no liability for any inference which any party may draw from or arrive at as a result of any such ranking or listing.
6.4. While Recipe Advertising may perform background checking in respect of individual users (for example, where it suspects that a user may be using the Services fraudulently) no warranty or undertaking is given that Recipe Advertising will perform such checks in respect of any particular individual or at all. As such, you agree that users shall have sole responsibility for any information which they may provide or upload to the Website (including in the form of a rating of any other user) and that, in the event that any such information is false or misleading, your sole remedy shall be against the relevant user. - LICENCE RESTRICTIONS
Except as expressly set out in this Agreement or as specifically permitted by any local law, you agree:
(a) not to copy the Website except where such copying is incidental to normal use of the Website, or where it is necessary for the purpose of back-up or operational security;

(c) not to rent, lease, sub-license, loan, translate, merge, adapt, vary or modify the Website;

(i) is used only for the purpose of achieving inter-operability of the Website with another software program;
(ii) is not unnecessarily disclosed or communicated without our prior written consent to any third party; and
(iii) is not used to create any software that is substantially similar to the Website;

(e) not to use the Website to send communications that would be considered to be spam;

Users should refrain from making untrue and/or unlawful representations about other users and are put on notice that Recipe Advertising will comply with any and all requests which it receives from lawful authorities to identify users whose details are requested from it in connection with legal proceedings. - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
