2. Amendments to Terms and Conditions

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time and any changes will take effect from the time of print.  It is the responsibility of the visitor or client to ensure that you are informed of the current terms.  In addition we will inform you via the e-mail address provided by you on registration or via a suitable announcement on our website.  The changes will apply to the use of www.TheConceptTree.co.uk or how we interact with a client via contract or other matters.  If you do not wish to accept the new Terms and Conditions you should inform us immediately here and not continue to use our website or other services until the matter is resolved.  If you continue to use the website or accept our services after the date on which the change comes into effect, we will accept that this indicates your agreement to be bound by our new Terms and Conditions.

3. Contracts

We will at the mutual agreement of both TCT and a client form a contract for services.  The contract will be for us to provide a service which will initially be to conduct a consultation at the request of the client. 

All contracts will have their own terms and conditions applicable to that specific contract.  IPR is a factor which will be discussed as appropriate to each case but in all but exceptional cases the IPR will be transferred to the client.

The Concept Tree will charge a consultancy fee or a percentage of the revenue generated (normally a minimum of 5%) dependant on the nature of the business being conducted however we offer a special rate for registered charities.

4. Client Privacy

Our keyword is “privacy”!  All printed proposals and reports are released to the client and are their property and whether it is published or never sees the light of day is their choice.  A release clause must be agreed to and signed on delivery of the report releasing TCT of all responsibility resulting from the use of that report.

5. Anonymity

We do NOT publish any details whatsoever of any organisation we have worked with unless that organisation, group management or whomsoever is deemed to be in charge, has given us explicit instructions in writing to do so.  To date we have not had one such request which emphasises the need for anonymity.
