Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 14 September 2025

These Terms and Conditions apply to all services provided by Technophobia Ltd to business customers. By requesting, reserving, or purchasing any service, you agree to these terms.

1. Who we are

Technophobia Ltd (Company No. 14898332)

We provide automation, integration, and related consulting to business customers. We do not sell to consumers.

2. Scope and definitions

Services means our automation, integration, development, consulting, training, support, and Quick Fix packages (AFD, I2C, L2B). Deliverables are any outputs we produce for you. Order means your acceptance of a quote, reservation, or invoice.

These terms take priority over your purchase terms unless we sign a separate written agreement that states otherwise.

3. Quotes, ordering and onboarding
  • Quotes are valid for 14 days unless stated otherwise.
  • An Order is formed when you pay a deposit, sign a quote, or confirm by email.
  • We will request access, sample data, and test accounts as needed to start work.
  • Start dates depend on timely access and payment.
4. Fees, deposits and payment
  • Prices are in GBP and exclude VAT unless stated. VAT is applied if due.
  • Quick Fix packages and scoped projects may require an upfront deposit (via Stripe) to reserve a slot.
  • Unless stated: invoices are due on receipt; monthly support is billed in advance.
  • Late payment: we may charge interest and recovery costs under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
  • We may suspend services for overdue sums.
5. Delivery of services
  • We work remotely unless agreed otherwise.
  • We will deliver to the agreed scope and provide a short handover.
  • Timelines are estimates. Delays caused by missing access, approvals, or third-party outages extend timelines.
  • Testing: we test in a safe environment first. You perform acceptance testing promptly after handover.
6. Client responsibilities
  • Provide timely access, information, and decisions.
  • Maintain your systems, licences, and accounts (e.g., WordPress, CRMs, Twilio, Stripe).
  • Keep credentials secure and revoke access when no longer needed.
  • Ensure your lawful basis for processing personal data in your systems.
  • For accounting automations, you remain responsible for accounting accuracy and compliance.
7. Changes and out-of-scope work
  • Small clarifications are included. Material changes, new features, or extra integrations are out of scope.
  • Out-of-scope work is billed at our current day rate or quoted separately.
  • We can agree a change note by email for speed.
8. Package-specific terms

Automation Fix Day (AFD)

  • Sold as a focused day for fixes or improvements. We agree a short priority list in advance.
  • Unused time is not refundable; we deliver as much as feasible against the priorities.
  • If access or prerequisites are missing on the day, we will switch to advisory/configuration tasks.

Inbox-to-CRM (I2C)

  • We configure parsing and routing rules for agreed mailboxes and CRMs.
  • You supply mailbox access and consent notices where required.
  • Drafted replies are for human review unless explicitly agreed.

Leads-to-Booking (L2B)

  • We implement steps to move qualified leads to booked calls (e.g., validation, routing, reminders).
  • Performance depends on your traffic, offer, and response times. We do not guarantee outcomes.
9. Intellectual property
  • Your pre-existing IP stays yours. Our pre-existing IP, libraries, and know-how stay ours.
  • On full payment, you receive a non-exclusive, perpetual licence to use the Deliverables for your business.
  • Third-party components remain subject to their licences.
10. Third-party services
  • We may integrate services such as WordPress, OpenAI API, Twilio, Calendly, Stripe, Xero, Google, n8n, and others.
  • You are responsible for those accounts, fees, and terms.
  • We are not liable for third-party changes, outages, or data loss.
11. Data protection and confidentiality
  • Each party will comply with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
  • If we process personal data for you, the Data Processing Addendum (Appendix A) applies.
  • We keep your confidential information secret and use it only to deliver the Services.
12. Warranties and disclaimers
  • We will provide Services with reasonable skill and care.
  • We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of third-party services.
  • Advice and estimates are guidance, not guarantees.
13. Liability
  • We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be excluded by law.
  • Otherwise, our total liability arising out of or in connection with the Services is capped at the fees paid in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.
  • We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, revenue, or data.
14. Support and maintenance
  • Ongoing support or monitoring (e.g., n8n) is a separate monthly service.
  • Response targets and inclusions are defined in the relevant plan.
  • Work outside the plan is quoted or billed at day rate.
15. Cancellations, rescheduling and refunds
  • Deposits reserve delivery slots and are non-refundable once the slot is confirmed.
  • You may reschedule an AFD or package session with at least 2 business days’ notice; we will offer the next available slot.
  • If we must reschedule, we will offer a new slot or refund the deposit if no suitable slot is available.
16. Suspension and termination
  • Either party may terminate for material breach not remedied within 14 days of notice.
  • We may suspend Services for overdue sums or security concerns.
  • On termination, you pay for work done up to the termination date.
17. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond reasonable control (e.g., internet outages, platform failures, strikes, war, emergency laws). Affected obligations are suspended for the duration.

18. Notices

Formal notices must be sent by email to hello@technophobia.uk and are deemed received on the next business day. We will send notices to your last notified business email address.

19. Law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.

20. Other terms
  • Assignment: You need our consent to assign these terms. We may assign to a group company.
  • Severance: If any term is invalid, the rest remain in force.
  • No waiver: A delay in enforcing rights is not a waiver.
  • Entire agreement: These terms and the Order form the entire agreement.
  • Priority: If there is a conflict, these terms take priority over other documents unless a signed agreement states otherwise.
