Website Terms and Conditions

Please read these terms carefully before using this website. By accessing or using the website, you agree to comply with these terms.

1. About these terms

These Website Terms and Conditions govern access to and use of:

www.shervgok.co.uk

In these terms:

• “ShervGok”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean ShervGok Ltd;
• “website” means this website and its pages, content, functions and downloadable materials;
• “you” and “your” mean the person accessing or using the website;
• “services” means the consultancy, advisory, engineering, construction-support or training services that ShervGok may separately agree to provide.

These terms apply whether you access the website personally, on behalf of an organisation or in another professional capacity.

If you use the website on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to do so and to communicate with us on that organisation’s behalf.

2. Information about ShervGok

The website is operated by:

ShervGok Ltd
Company number: 17307838
Registered in England and Wales
Registered office:

Email: info@shervgok.co.uk

Website: www.shervgok.co.uk

3. Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using the website, you confirm that you accept these terms and agree to comply with them.

If you do not agree with these terms, you should not use the website.

You are responsible for ensuring that anyone who accesses the website through your internet connection is aware of these terms and complies with them.

4. Other policies that apply

The following documents also apply to use of the website:

• our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process personal information;
• our Cookies Policy, which explains the use of cookies, sessions, server logs and related technologies;
• our Health and Safety Policy , which describes our general health and safety commitments.

5. Website terms are not consultancy contract terms

These terms govern use of the public website only.

They do not constitute:

• terms for the provision of engineering or professional services;
• a consultancy agreement;
• a construction contract;
• a training agreement;
• a professional appointment;
• a collateral warranty;
• a duty of care agreement;
• a quotation or binding offer;
• a guarantee that ShervGok will accept an instruction;
• an agreement that ShervGok will provide any service at a specified time, price or location.

Any services provided by ShervGok will be governed by a separate written quotation, proposal, scope, appointment, contract or other written agreement accepted by authorised representatives of the relevant parties.

If there is any conflict between these website terms and the terms of a separately executed services agreement, the separately executed agreement will govern the provision of those services.

6. No contract formed through a general enquiry

Submitting a contact form, sending an email, making a telephone enquiry, requesting a quotation or discussing a potential commission does not by itself create a contract, professional appointment, fiduciary relationship or duty of care.

A contract for services will arise only where:

• the scope, commercial terms and applicable conditions have been agreed;
• any required client information and due-diligence checks have been completed;
• ShervGok has confirmed acceptance of the instruction in writing through an authorised representative; and
• any other stated conditions for commencement have been satisfied.

We may decline an enquiry or proposed instruction at our discretion, subject to applicable law.

7. No professional advice through the website

Information on the website is provided for general informational and promotional purposes only.

It does not constitute engineering, technical, legal, financial, investment, insurance, procurement, contractual, health and safety or other professional advice.

Website information should not be used as a substitute for:

• project-specific investigation;
• site-specific engineering assessment;
• professional inspection;
• design calculations;
• risk assessment;
• independent technical review;
• legal or contractual advice;
• advice from an appropriately qualified professional.

Engineering decisions depend on factors including site conditions, asset condition, available evidence, applicable standards, design assumptions, intended use, environmental exposure, construction methods and project constraints.

You should obtain appropriate professional advice before relying on website information to make or implement a decision.

8. No duty of care to website users

Unless separately agreed in writing, ShervGok does not assume a professional duty of care to a person merely because that person:

• visits the website;
• reads or downloads website content;
• contacts ShervGok;
• receives a preliminary response;
• becomes aware of a project, capability or technical method through the website.

No third party is entitled to rely on any website content as if it were a project deliverable, professional report, certification, assurance statement or design opinion.

9. Accuracy and completeness of information

We take reasonable care when preparing website content. However, the website may contain:

• generalised descriptions;
• summarised technical information;
• illustrative material;
• information that becomes outdated;
• typographical or technical errors;
• references to capabilities or assignment types that remain subject to scope, availability and contractual agreement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not warrant or represent that website content is:

• complete;
• error-free;
• current at all times;
• suitable for a particular project or purpose;
• applicable in every jurisdiction;
• sufficient to support an engineering or commercial decision.

We may correct, update, replace or remove website content without prior notice.

10. Project and capability information

Project-related content may describe:

• technical methods;
• engineering disciplines;
• representative assignment types;
• solution concepts;
• professional experience;
• work undertaken by directors, associates, specialists or partner organisations in relevant professional capacities.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, website content should not be interpreted as confirming:

• that ShervGok was the sole consultant, designer or contractor for an example;
• that every capability is available immediately in every country;
• that a previous technical solution is suitable for another site or project;
• that any image depicts a current ShervGok commission;
• that a project achieved a particular result solely because of ShervGok’s involvement.

Formal statements of experience, contractual role and responsibility should be agreed separately for proposals, tenders and appointments.

11. Availability of services

Descriptions of services on the website are general indications of potential capability and do not guarantee availability.

Service availability may depend on:

• the nature and location of the project;
• professional competence and resource availability;
• regulatory or licensing requirements;
• professional-indemnity insurance;
• conflicts of interest;
• client and project due diligence;
• health, safety and security conditions;
• availability of suitable associates or partners;
• agreement of acceptable contractual terms.

We reserve the right to amend, suspend or withdraw a service description without notice.

12. Permitted use of the website

You may use the website for lawful purposes, including:

• learning about ShervGok and its capabilities;
• considering whether to contact us;
• submitting a genuine business enquiry;
• viewing or printing content for your own internal, non-commercial reference;
• sharing a normal link to a publicly accessible page.

Permitted use is subject to these terms and all applicable laws and regulations.

13. Prohibited use

You must not use the website:

• for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose;
• to infringe intellectual-property, confidentiality, privacy or other rights;
• to impersonate ShervGok or another person or organisation;
• to submit false or misleading information;
• to send spam, unsolicited advertising or promotions;
• to transmit malware, ransomware, spyware, malicious code or harmful material;
• to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the website or hosting environment without written authorisation;
• to attempt to gain unauthorised access to any server, mailbox, account, database or system;
• to interfere with the operation, availability or security of the website;
• to overwhelm the website through automated or excessive requests;
• to bypass, disable or interfere with security controls, access controls, rate limits or form protections;
• to harvest contact details or personal information;
• to use scraping, crawling or automated extraction in a manner that places an unreasonable load on the website or infringes our rights;
• to reproduce or present website content in a misleading context;
• to suggest an endorsement, partnership or professional relationship that does not exist;
• to use website information for unsafe engineering, construction or operational decisions.

14. Contact-form use

The contact form is provided for genuine enquiries relating to ShervGok’s business and services.

When using the form, you must:

• provide information that is accurate to your knowledge;
• have authority to communicate on behalf of any named organisation;
• avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive personal information;
• avoid submitting passwords, payment-card data or malicious files or code;
• avoid including confidential third-party information unless you are authorised to disclose it.

We may reject or disregard submissions that appear abusive, automated, fraudulent, malicious, irrelevant or unsafe.

15. Confidential information

The public contact form and ordinary email are not intended as secure data rooms or formal channels for highly sensitive project information.

You should not submit confidential drawings, security-sensitive asset information, protected personal data, passwords, payment details or commercially sensitive documents unless an appropriate transfer method and confidentiality arrangement have been agreed.

An unsolicited disclosure does not automatically create a contractual confidentiality obligation beyond obligations imposed by applicable law.

Existing contractual confidentiality obligations and signed non-disclosure agreements remain unaffected.

16. Intellectual-property rights

Unless otherwise stated, ShervGok or its licensors owns or is authorised to use the intellectual-property rights in the website and its content, including:

• text;
• branding;
• logos;
• page layouts;
• graphics;
• photographs;
• illustrations;
• technical descriptions;
• documents;
• website code and design elements.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

17. Limited permission to use content

18. ShervGok name, logo and branding

The ShervGok name, logo, branding and visual identity must not be used in a manner that:

• suggests unauthorised endorsement;
• suggests a false partnership or agency relationship;
• misrepresents involvement in a project;
• causes confusion about the source of services;
• damages or is likely to damage our reputation.

No licence to use ShervGok’s branding is granted merely by access to the website.

19. Third-party intellectual property

Certain photographs, icons, fonts, software libraries or other materials may belong to third parties and may be used under applicable licences or permissions.

Third-party rights remain with their respective owners.

Where an image-credit or licence page is provided, it forms part of the information governing those materials.

We may withdraw linking permission where reasonably necessary.

21. Third-party websites and resources

The website may contain links to websites, documents or services operated by third parties.

These links are provided for information or convenience only. Unless expressly stated, they do not imply:

• endorsement;
• approval;
• partnership;
• control;
• acceptance of responsibility for the third party or its content.

We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their availability, content, security, privacy practices, terms or accuracy.

23. Website security

We apply reasonable measures intended to support website security. However, no website, server, network or electronic communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We are responsible for loss or damage that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these terms or failure to use reasonable care and skill, subject to applicable law.

Consent for non-essential cookies will not be treated as having been given merely because you accept these website terms.

30. Communications from us

When you contact us, we may respond using the contact details you provide.

An operational response to an enquiry is not necessarily a marketing communication.

Where we send direct marketing, we will do so only where permitted by applicable law. You may object to direct marketing at any time by contacting:

31. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms periodically to reflect:

The revised terms will apply from the date they are published on the website.

You should review this page periodically if you continue to use the website.

32. Transfer of our rights

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation where reasonably necessary in connection with a business transfer, restructuring, investment, merger or sale.

Any transfer will not reduce rights that cannot lawfully be reduced.

You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these terms without our prior written consent.

33. No partnership or agency

Nothing in these terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment relationship, fiduciary relationship or agency between you and ShervGok.

You do not have authority to make commitments or statements on behalf of ShervGok.

34. Third-party rights

Unless expressly stated otherwise, a person who is not a party to these terms has no right to enforce them.

35. Waiver

If we delay or fail to enforce a right under these terms, that does not mean that we have waived that right.

A waiver is effective only where it is clearly given in writing by an authorised representative.

36. Severability

If a court or competent authority finds any provision of these terms unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be treated as modified to the minimum extent necessary or removed where modification is not possible.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.
