1. Agreement to terms

These terms govern your use of capitalbusinessmedia.co.uk and any of the brand websites in the Capital Business Media portfolio (collectively, the "Sites"). By using any of the Sites you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please stop using the Sites.

The Sites are operated by Capital Business Media Ltd, a UK-registered company headquartered in London with offices in New York and Florida.

2. Permitted use

You may use the Sites for lawful, personal and non-commercial purposes, and for legitimate business purposes consistent with these terms. You may not:

3. Intellectual property

All content published on the Sites — articles, photographs, video, podcasts, design elements, brand marks and software — is the property of Capital Business Media Ltd, our licensors or our editorial contributors. All rights are reserved.

You may quote short passages of editorial content with attribution and a link back to the source page on our Sites. You may not republish full articles, photographs or video without prior written permission. Press use of CBM brand marks and headshots is permitted with attribution — see the newsroom for the press image library.

4. User-submitted content

If you submit content to the Sites — including comments, awards entries, contact-form messages or job applications — you grant Capital Business Media a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, edit and publish that content as part of the relevant editorial product, awards programme or recruitment process, subject to our privacy policy.

You confirm that submitted content is your own, doesn't infringe a third party's rights, isn't defamatory and isn't unlawful. We reserve the right to remove any user-submitted content at our discretion.

5. Awards entry terms

Entries to the Business Champion Awards, the Travelling For Business Awards and the Rural Business Awards are subject to the entry terms published on each awards programme's brand page. Specifically:

6. Disclaimers

Editorial content on the Sites is journalism and opinion, not professional advice. We take editorial accuracy seriously, but you should not rely on content alone for legal, financial, medical, tax, immigration, regulatory or investment decisions. Always consult a qualified professional.

The Sites are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that the Sites will be available without interruption, or that any content will be free of errors.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Capital Business Media Ltd is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages arising from your use of the Sites or reliance on any content published on them. Our total liability to you in connection with the Sites is limited to £100 (or the local-currency equivalent).

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under English law — including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when this version was issued. Material changes will be communicated by email to registered users where we have a current email on file.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by English law, and you and Capital Business Media submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. If you are based in the United States, the New York courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction in addition.
