Terms

Terms

There is no paid service yet, so there is not much to agree to. This page says what is on offer, what is not, and which parts still need a lawyer.

What these terms cover

This website, and PEOPLE as it exists today. PEOPLE is the product; SPEED makes it.

There is no paid service on offer. Nothing on this site is a contract for payroll services, and no price is published — the pricing page describes how pricing will be structured and quotes no figure, because quoting one would be an offer we are not yet in a position to make.

The software is not deployed. Neither the API nor the application is hosted anywhere you can reach. If we run a walkthrough with you, that is a demonstration, not a service.

When there is a paying customer there will be a written agreement drafted by a lawyer, covering the things this page deliberately leaves alone. That agreement will govern, not this page.

This is not professional advice

We are not your accountant, tax agent, auditor or lawyer, and nothing on this site is advice in any of those capacities.

In particular, the statutory schedules page is a description of the rule data the software holds. It cites the instrument and the source document for every figure, and it is not a statement of your obligations. Your obligations depend on your circumstances, and determining them — including whether a scheme applies to you at all — is yours or your adviser's.

The schedules page publishes no filing deadline, because no deadline is sourced in our rule data. Do not treat its absence as an indication that none applies to you.

Accuracy, and what we do when we are wrong

We try hard to be accurate and we publish our sources so you can check us. The schedules page names the file every figure lives in, and the API page is generated from the API's own contract document rather than transcribed.

Most of our rule data is cited but not yet reconciled — sourced from a named instrument and checked against published worked examples, but not yet compared against money a real person was paid. The schedules page marks which is which on every scheme. We would rather show you that distinction than average it away.

If you find a figure that disagrees with its source, tell us and we will correct the rule data rather than the page. That is worth more to us than a sales enquiry.

The software licence

The source repository carries its own licence file, and that licence — not this page — governs any use of the code. If you are looking at the code, read it there.

The text and design of this website belong to SPEED. The wordmarks of the statutory bodies named on this site belong to those bodies, and naming them describes what the software files to; it does not imply that any of them endorses or has approved this product.

Using this site

It is a set of static files. Read it, link to it, quote it. Do not represent it as yours, and do not present the figures on it as your own sourcing without saying where they came from.

We may change these pages. The schedules page changes when our rule data does, which is the point of it.

What this page deliberately does not say

Named, so their absence is a decision on the record rather than an oversight. Each of these needs a lawyer, and inventing one from a template would be worse than the gap:

Any limitation or exclusion of liability, and any cap on it.
Any warranty, and any disclaimer of one.
Any indemnity, in either direction.
Governing law, jurisdiction and how a dispute would be resolved.
Service levels, uptime commitments and what happens if one is missed.
Termination, suspension, and what happens to your data afterwards.
Any data processing agreement. The privacy page describes the relationship factually and is not one.

If you need a position on any of these before proceeding, ask and we will get it drafted properly rather than answering off the cuff.
