Business Service Terms
These terms apply to business customers commissioning MyProfit. By paying through Stripe or accepting a written proposal, you confirm that you are authorised to commission the work and agree to these terms.
1. Provider And Contact
The service provider is The Food Economist, operated by Godfred Frimpong as a sole trader from 84 Bridge Street, Kingston, HR5 3DJ. Contact: godfred@thefoodeconomist.co.uk. VAT registration: 508927172. ICO registration: ZC112776.
2. Business Customers Only
MyProfit is offered for business purposes. You confirm that you are acting for a business and have authority to provide its information and commission the work. Contact the desk before paying if you are purchasing wholly or mainly as an individual consumer.
3. Contract And Scope
The contract begins when Stripe confirms payment or when a written proposal is accepted. The proposal or checkout description identifies the deliverable, price and expected timetable. If a proposal conflicts with these terms, the proposal controls for that engagement.
4. Service Boundary
The work is independent economic and commercial analysis. It does not include statutory filing or submission, public-practice services, assurance work, legal advice, tax advice or regulated financial advice. You remain responsible for business decisions and should use your appointed advisers where appropriate.
5. Client Information And Timing
You are responsible for supplying information that is complete and accurate to the best of your knowledge and for identifying material gaps. Delivery time starts when payment and the reasonably required intake information have both been received. Missing, late or materially changed information may pause the timetable or require a revised scope and fee.
6. Fees, VAT And Credits
Business prices exclude VAT unless expressly stated otherwise. VAT is charged at the prevailing UK rate and itemised by Stripe or on the invoice. A Triage credit applies only where the relevant offer states it, within the stated period, and cannot be exchanged for cash.
7. Cancellation And Refunds
Ask to cancel in writing as soon as possible. If work has not started, the desk will normally refund the service fee. Once work has started, any refund may be reduced by the reasonable value of work already performed and non-recoverable costs. Completed bespoke analysis is not refundable merely because the commercial outcome differs from expectations. This does not limit any remedy required by law where the service has not been supplied with reasonable care and skill.
8. Corrections And Changes
The stated correction round covers errors or agreed clarifications using the information originally supplied. New datasets, changed assumptions, additional sites or a materially expanded question may require a separate quote. Forecasts and benchmarks are based on the sources and assumptions identified in the deliverable and may change after delivery.
9. Confidentiality And Data
Each party will keep the other's non-public business information confidential and use it only for the engagement, except where disclosure is required by law or to a service provider needed to deliver the work. Personal data is handled under the Privacy Notice. Do not send card information; Stripe handles payment data directly.
10. Intellectual Property
After full payment, you may use the final client-specific deliverable within your business and share it with your appointed advisers. The Food Economist retains ownership of its underlying methods, models, templates and general know-how. Neither party may publish the other's confidential information or branding without written permission.
11. Liability
The analysis depends on client-supplied data and stated assumptions. To the fullest extent permitted by law, total liability arising from an engagement is limited to the fees paid for that engagement. Neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
12. Delay Outside Reasonable Control
Neither party is responsible for delay caused by events outside its reasonable control. The affected party will notify the other and resume performance as soon as reasonably possible.
13. Complaints And Governing Law
Raise any concern in writing at godfred@thefoodeconomist.co.uk. The desk will acknowledge it within two working days and aim to provide a substantive response within ten working days. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction.
