Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 1 January 2025

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the CompliDocs website at complidocs.co.uk and any associated services, software, or documents (together, the “Service”) provided by CompliDocs Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (Company No. 12345678) whose registered address is available on request (“CompliDocs”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service. These Terms apply to all users of the Service, including both registered account holders and visitors.

1. Service Description and Scope

1.1 CompliDocs provides an online platform that enables users to generate health and safety document templates (including risk assessments, COSHH assessments, fire risk assessment templates, and method statements) tailored to specific UK business types.

1.2 The Service is available on a pay-per-document basis or via recurring subscription. Document types, pricing, and subscription plans available at any given time are as set out on our pricing page.

1.3 The Service is intended for use by businesses and individuals based in the United Kingdom. While we do not restrict access from other jurisdictions, our templates are written with reference to UK law and HSE guidance and may not be appropriate for use in other legal systems.

1.4 We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We will endeavour to provide reasonable notice of material changes where practicable.

Nature of Purchase — Business Use Only

CompliDocs provides health and safety documentation services exclusively for businesses, sole traders, and organisations. By purchasing from CompliDocs you confirm that you are doing so in the course of a business, trade or profession and not as a private consumer.

Accordingly, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 do not apply to purchases made through this platform, as those protections are limited to consumers acting outside their trade or business.

To the extent that any residual consumer protection may apply in exceptional circumstances, you expressly request that digital content be supplied immediately upon payment and acknowledge that any applicable cancellation rights are waived upon download or access of the document.

CompliDocs reserves the right to decline a refund where a document has been downloaded and used. Refunds are considered on a case-by-case basis at the sole discretion of CompliDocs where a document fails to meet a reasonable standard due to an error on our part.

Customer Document Sharing

Where a portal user uploads their own health and safety documents and consents to anonymous sharing, CompliDocs may use those documents — with all business-identifying information removed and following admin verification — to improve the accuracy and quality of guidance provided to other businesses using the platform.

No business name, employee names, or identifying details will be shared or published. Users may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting hello@complidocs.co.uk, after which their document will be removed from the shared pool.

2. Document Disclaimer

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BEFORE USING ANY DOCUMENT PRODUCED BY COMPLIDOCS.

2.1 CompliDocs documents are starting-point templates only. They are not professional health and safety advice, and no adviser-client relationship is created between you and CompliDocs by your use of the Service.

2.2 All documents produced through the Service must be reviewed by a competent person — as defined by the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 — who has sufficient training and experience to understand the hazards and risks present in your specific workplace. The document must be amended as necessary to reflect your actual workplace conditions before it is brought into use.

2.3 Health and safety law places duties directly on employers and the self-employed. Compliance with those duties is the responsibility of the duty holder. A CompliDocs document does not, of itself, make you legally compliant. It provides a structured starting point that must be verified, adapted, and signed off by a person with the appropriate competence.

2.4 CompliDocs is not registered with IOSH, IIRSM, or any professional health and safety body. We are a software company providing document generation tools. If you require professional health and safety consultancy, you should appoint a competent consultant independently.

2.5 We do not warrant that any document produced through the Service will satisfy the requirements of any HSE inspector, local authority, insurer, or other third party. Document adequacy depends on how the template is adapted to your specific circumstances by a competent person.

3. Account Registration and Security

3.1 To access subscription services and document history features, you must register for an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration.

3.2 You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately at hello@complidocs.co.uk if you suspect any unauthorised use of your account.

3.3 You must not share your account with others unless you are subscribed to a Business plan that expressly permits multiple user seats.

4. Payment Terms and Subscriptions

4.1 Payments for pay-per-document purchases and subscriptions are processed securely via Stripe. Prices are stated in pounds sterling (GBP) and are inclusive of UK VAT where applicable.

4.2 Subscription fees are charged in advance on a monthly or annual basis, as selected at the time of purchase. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled in accordance with clause 4.4.

4.3 You authorise CompliDocs to charge your payment method on a recurring basis for the applicable subscription fee. If a payment fails, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to subscription features until payment is received.

4.4 Cancellation. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. Where you are outside the 30-day money-back guarantee period described in clause 7, cancellation requires 30 days' notice prior to your next renewal date. You will retain access to your subscription until the end of the current paid billing period.

4.5 We reserve the right to change our prices at any time. Where a price increase affects your subscription, we will provide at least 30 days' written notice (by email to the address registered on your account) before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the subscription after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the new price. If you do not accept the new price, you may cancel in accordance with clause 4.4.

4.6 All prices on the website are subject to change and the price that applies to any transaction is the price displayed at the time of purchase.

5. Refund Policy

5.1 Pay-per-document purchases. We offer a 24-hour money-back guarantee on pay-per-document purchases. If you are not satisfied with your document, contact us within 24 hours of purchase at hello@complidocs.co.uk and we will issue a full refund. After 24 hours, pay-per-document purchases are non-refundable.

5.2 Subscriptions — first billing period. New subscribers may claim a full refund on their first subscription payment within 30 days of their initial subscription date, provided they have not generated more than three documents during that period. To request a refund, contact us at hello@complidocs.co.uk.

5.3 Subscriptions — subsequent billing periods. Subscription payments after the first billing period are non-refundable. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period as described in clause 4.4.

5.4 Refunds are returned to the original payment method. Processing times are subject to your bank or card provider's timescales.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 The CompliDocs website, platform, software, branding, and all template content — including the wording, structure, hazard data, control measures, and associated materials in all templates — are the intellectual property of CompliDocs Ltd. All such content is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws of England and Wales.

6.2 By generating a document through the Service, you are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the completed document for internal business purposes within your organisation. This licence does not permit you to:

  • Resell or sublicence the templates or completed documents to third parties;
  • Use the documents for a business other than the one for which they were generated;
  • Reproduce or distribute the underlying template structure or content in bulk;
  • Represent CompliDocs-generated documents as work you have produced independently.

6.3 Health and safety consultants and compliance professionals who wish to generate documents on behalf of clients should contact us at hello@complidocs.co.uk to discuss our Business plan, which includes consultant use rights.

6.4 You retain ownership of any business information you provide to us (such as your business name, address, and assessor details). By submitting this information to the Service, you grant us a limited licence to use it solely to generate and deliver your documents.

7. Limitation of Liability

  • loss of business, revenue, profit, or reputation;
  • indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss of any kind.

7.2 Our total aggregate liability to you under or in connection with these Terms and the Service — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise — shall in no event exceed the total amount you have paid to CompliDocs in the twelve months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

7.3 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.

7.4 If you are a consumer (as defined in the Consumer Rights Act 2015), nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights.

8. Acceptable Use

  • To circumvent or attempt to circumvent any access controls, payment systems, or security features of the platform;
  • To scrape, copy, or harvest content or data from our platform in bulk using automated means;
  • To transmit any unsolicited commercial communications to other users or CompliDocs staff.

8.2 We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account immediately if we reasonably believe you have breached this clause.

12.2 Each party irrevocably agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim that arises out of or in connection with these Terms.
