Please read these terms carefully before using the Website. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to comply with these terms. If you do not agree to them, you should not use the Website.

These terms apply only to use of the Website. They do not govern the supply of products, infrastructure, energy services, professional services, technology services or any other commercial services.

In these Terms, references to "Argyll", "we", "us" or "our" mean Argyll Development Holdings Ltd and Argyll Energy Development Ltd, individually or collectively, as the context requires.

Where a provision relates specifically to the hosting, operation, maintenance or security of the Website, those references may also include Argyll Data Development Ltd in its capacity as the Website's technical service provider.

References to “you” or “your” mean any person who accesses or uses the Website.

3. The Argyll group and responsibility for the Website

Argyll Development Holdings Ltd is the holding and development company for the Argyll group. Individual activities, projects, products and services may be undertaken or supplied by separate companies within the group.

Argyll Energy Development Ltd undertakes and develops energy, power and related infrastructure activities.

Argyll Data Development Ltd is a separate legal entity that provides digital, technical and infrastructure services to the Argyll group. In relation to this Website, Argyll Data Development Ltd may provide services including:

·       Website hosting;

·       Website administration;

·       Website maintenance;

·       content management support;

·       domain and technical configuration;

·       Website monitoring;

·       cyber-security and access controls;

·       data storage and backups;

·       technical support;

·       Website performance management;

·       enquiry-routing systems;

·       and associated digital infrastructure services.

Argyll Data Development Ltd may process limited technical, operational and enquiry information where reasonably necessary to host, secure, maintain and manage the Website. Any processing of personal information will be carried out in accordance with the applicable Privacy Notice.

The provision of Website hosting or management services by Argyll Data Development Ltd does not mean that Argyll Data Development Ltd supplies, guarantees or assumes responsibility for every product, project or service described on the Website.

Each Argyll group company remains responsible for the activities, statements, products and services attributed to it.

Where a product or service is offered by a particular Argyll group company, the identity of the supplying company and the applicable contractual terms will be confirmed separately.

Nothing on this Website creates a contract for access to an artificial intelligence platform, model, API, compute environment, software service, energy service or infrastructure service.

Any such service will be governed by a separate written agreement with the relevant Argyll group company.

4. Website information only

The Website provides general information about Argyll, its group companies, activities, projects, capabilities, proposals, technology, infrastructure and areas of interest.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Website content is provided for general information only. It is not intended to constitute:

·       an offer capable of acceptance;

·       a binding quotation;

·       a contractual commitment;

·       an investment invitation or recommendation;

·       financial, legal, tax, technical or regulatory advice;

·       an engineering specification;

·       a guarantee of performance, capacity or availability;

·       a promise that a project, product or service will proceed;

·       or a representation that any approval, funding, capacity, site, technology or resource has been secured.

You should obtain appropriate professional advice and conduct your own assessment before acting or relying on information published on the Website.

5. No contract created by the Website

Accessing the Website, contacting us, submitting an enquiry, requesting information or discussing a possible project does not create a contract between you and any Argyll company.

A binding contract will arise only where it is set out in a separate written agreement entered into by the relevant Argyll company and signed or otherwise formally accepted by authorised representatives of the parties.

No employee, consultant, intermediary, representative or other person has authority to bind an Argyll company unless that authority has been expressly granted.

Marketing material, presentations, illustrations, indicative specifications, budget estimates, capacity statements, project descriptions and Website content do not form part of a contract unless expressly incorporated into a written agreement.

  • projects;

  • investments;

We do not guarantee that any proposed project, transaction, facility, partnership, investment or deployment will proceed or be completed as described.

7. Accuracy and updating of information

We take reasonable care when preparing Website content. However, we do not guarantee that all content is:

  • complete;

Website content may become outdated because of changes in projects, markets, technology, law, regulation, commercial arrangements or other circumstances.

We may update, amend, replace or remove Website content at any time. We are not obliged to update previously published material or notify users when information changes.

Where information on the Website conflicts with a written agreement entered into by an Argyll company, the written agreement will prevail.

  • or a particular product or service is currently available.

You must comply with any additional restrictions applying to third-party material.

You must ensure that information you provide is accurate, relevant and lawful. You must not submit confidential, classified, privileged, security-sensitive or commercially sensitive information unless we have expressly agreed an appropriate method for receiving it.

  • unsolicited business plans;

  • investment proposals;

  • inventions;

  • software;

  • technical designs;

  • confidential concepts;

Receipt of unsolicited material does not create an obligation to:

  • return it;

  • compensate its sender;

  • pursue the proposal;

  • or enter into further discussions.

Nothing in this section removes any confidentiality obligation expressly accepted by us in a separate written agreement.

These Website Terms do not replace or override the Privacy Notice.

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:

Where required by law, optional cookies will not be placed without your consent.

19. Website security

We use reasonable measures intended to protect the Website and associated systems. However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for:

  • using appropriate security software;

  • keeping your devices and browsers updated;

  • protecting your credentials;

  • verifying links and communications;

  • and maintaining suitable backups and cyber-security controls.

You must not assume that any communication is genuine solely because it appears to refer to Argyll or an Argyll company.

If you become aware of a suspected security vulnerability involving the Website, please notify us responsibly and do not publicly disclose or exploit it.

20. Website availability

The Website is provided on an “as available” basis.

  • power or telecommunications interruption;

  • cyber incidents;

  • supplier failures;

Neither the appointment of Argyll Data Development Ltd as Website host and manager nor the use of any third-party infrastructure provider creates a guarantee of continuous or uninterrupted Website availability.

21. Viruses and harmful material

We do not guarantee that the Website will be secure or free from viruses, malware or other harmful material.

You should use your own virus protection and security controls.

You must not knowingly introduce harmful material to the Website or attempt to interfere with the Website, its servers, databases, networks or associated systems.

Unauthorised access or interference may constitute a criminal offence. We may report suspected offences to the relevant authorities and cooperate with lawful investigations.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for:

  • death or personal injury caused by negligence;

Subject to the above, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for loss or damage arising from or connected with:

Where you use the Website as a consumer, these terms do not affect any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

23. Indemnity for unlawful use

Where you use the Website for business purposes, you will be responsible for reasonable losses, liabilities, costs and expenses suffered by an Argyll company as a direct result of your deliberate or unlawful breach of these terms.

This section does not apply to the extent that a loss was caused by our own breach, negligence or unlawful conduct.

24. Suspension and restriction

We may suspend, block or restrict your access to the Website where we reasonably believe that:

  • you have breached these terms;

  • your use creates a security or operational risk;

  • your activity is unlawful, abusive or fraudulent;

  • restriction is necessary to protect another person;

  • or restriction is required by law or a competent authority.

We may also take technical or legal action to protect the Website, our rights, our systems or other users.

25. Separate commercial terms

Products, projects and services discussed on the Website may be subject to separate terms, including:

  • confidentiality agreements;

  • development agreements;

  • consultancy agreements;

  • and other negotiated contracts.

Where a separate written agreement applies, that agreement will govern the relevant commercial relationship.

If there is a conflict between these Website Terms and a separate written agreement, the separate written agreement will prevail in relation to its subject matter.

We may update these Website Terms from time to time to reflect changes in:

  • the Website;

  • our organisation;

  • applicable law or regulation;

  • security requirements;

The current version will be published on the Website together with its effective date.

Changes will apply from the stated effective date. You should review these terms periodically.

27. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be treated as modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it lawful and enforceable.

If modification is not possible, the affected provision will be treated as deleted.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

28. No waiver

A failure or delay by us in exercising a right or remedy does not waive that right or remedy.

A single or partial exercise of a right does not prevent its further exercise or the exercise of another right.

29. Third-party rights

Except for an Argyll group company entitled to enforce a provision expressed for its benefit, no person who is not a party to these terms has any right to enforce them under the Contract (Third Party Rights) (Scotland) Act 2017 or otherwise.

30. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Website Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising from or connected with them are governed by England and Wales law.

The Scottish courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from or connected with these terms or use of the Website.

If you use the Website as a consumer and applicable law gives you the right to bring proceedings in another part of the United Kingdom, nothing in these terms removes that right.
