Who these terms are for

These terms apply to any visitor, user, member or client accessing or using this website. By using the website, you agree to be bound by these terms.

If you do not agree with these terms, you should not use the website or submit information through it.

General information and no legal advice

The content on this website is for general information only and is designed to provide practical guidance about transport compliance, Operator Licensing and related topics.

It is not legal advice, professional advice or a substitute for specific advice tailored to your circumstances. Requirements can change and may differ depending on the vehicle, operation, legal entity, location and facts involved.

Before acting on any information on this website, you should check the current law, current official guidance and, where necessary, obtain legal or professional advice appropriate to your situation.

Professional services

No professional engagement, instruction or relationship is created merely by using this website, submitting a form or joining the forum.

Any professional services we provide will be subject to a separate written agreement setting out scope, fees, responsibilities and other terms. If you want advice about a specific matter, we will require a clear understanding of your circumstances before advising you.

Forum content

Members are responsible for the content they post in the forum. We may review, moderate, edit or remove content where we believe it is inappropriate, inaccurate, misleading, harmful, offensive, confidential, unlawful or in breach of our forum guidelines.

HGV Consult does not necessarily endorse statements made by members or visitors. Any forum contribution should be treated as general discussion or experience-sharing and should not be relied on as professional or legal advice.

Users should not post confidential information, personal data or information they do not want to be published or shared publicly.

Website availability and accuracy

We aim to keep the website available, secure and accurate. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access, continuous availability or that all content will be complete, error-free or current at all times.

We may update, suspend, change or remove website content or services at any time without notice. We do not accept responsibility for loss or disruption caused by website downtime, technical faults, third-party breaches or matters beyond our reasonable control.

All content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, images, layout, design, branding and source code, is owned by HGV Consult or used under licence unless otherwise stated.

You may view and use the website for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, create derivative works from or commercially exploit any content from this website without our prior written permission, except where a specific licence or notice allows otherwise.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use the website or forum in a way that is unlawful, abusive, harmful, defamatory, misleading, harassing, discriminatory or otherwise objectionable.

You agree not to:

upload, post or transmit anything that breaches copyright or other rights;
post false, misleading or fraudulent information;
attempt to access, interfere with or disrupt the website, forum or connected systems;

We reserve the right to restrict, suspend or terminate user access where we believe those terms are being breached.

Links to third-party websites

The website may contain links to third-party websites, including official guidance, government publications and external resources. These links are provided for convenience and information only.

We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under English law.

Where the law permits, any liability we do have is limited to the fees paid, if any, for the specific service or product giving rise to the claim. Where no fee has been paid, our liability is limited to the amount we reasonably consider appropriate in the circumstances.
