  • Use of Our Site is subject to Our Website Terms and Conditions. Please ensure that you have read them carefully and that you understand them.

• Business Customers and Consumers

  • These Terms apply to business customers only. These Terms do not apply to individual consumers as We are not providing the Services for anyone’s personal purposes (that is, not in connection with, or for use in, their trade, business, craft, or profession).
  • These Terms, together with any other terms referenced herein that are applicable to the Services ordered, constitute the entire agreement between Us and you with respect to your purchase of Services from Us. You acknowledge that you have not relied upon any statement, representation, warranty, assurance, or promise made by or on behalf of Us that is not set out or otherwise referred to in these Terms and that you shall have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based upon any statement herein.

• Services, Pricing and Availability

  • We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all general descriptions of the Services available from Us correspond to the actual Services that will be provided to you. However, please note that the exact nature of the Services may vary depending upon your individual requirements and circumstances.
  • Please note that sub-Clause 5.1 does not exclude Our responsibility for mistakes due to negligence on Our part and refers only to variations of the correct Services, not to different Services altogether.
  • Where appropriate, you may be required to select the required package of Services.
  • We neither represent nor warrant that all Services will be available at all times and cannot necessarily confirm availability until confirming your Order. Availability indications are not provided on Our Site.
  • We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all prices shown on Our Site are correct at the time of going online. We reserve the right to change prices and to add, alter, or remove special offers and/or Services from time to time and as necessary. Subject to sub-Clause 5.8 and 5.9, changes in price will not affect any Order that you have already placed.
  • All prices are checked by Us when We process your Order. In the unlikely event that We have shown incorrect pricing information, except for situations regulated by sub-Clause 5.8 and 5.9, We will contact you in writing before proceeding with your Order to inform you of the mistake and to ask you how you wish to proceed. We will give you the option to purchase the Services at the correct price or to cancel your Order (or the affected part thereof). We will not proceed with processing your Order until you respond. If We do not receive a response from you within three days, We will treat your Order as cancelled and notify you of the same in writing.
  • In the event that the price of Services you have ordered changes between your Order being placed and Us processing that Order and taking payment, you will be charged the price shown on Our Site at the time of placing your Order.
  • Prices on Our Site are shown exclusive of VAT. VAT is added at checkout. If the VAT rate changes between your Order being placed and Us taking payment, the amount of VAT payable will be automatically adjusted when taking payment.
  • If there are changes in official fees and/or external costs relating to the Services you have ordered, including but not limited to fees imposed by Companies House or Royal Mail, between your Order being placed and Us having to pay the official fees and/or external costs, the amount payable will be automatically adjusted when We are taking payment and/or it may lead to us sending you a supplemental invoice for the extra costs.

• Orders – How Contracts Are Formed

  • Our Site will guide you through the ordering process. Before submitting your Order to Us, you will be given the opportunity to review your Order and amend any errors. Please ensure that you have checked your Order carefully before submitting it.
  • No part of Our Site constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance. Your Order constitutes a contractual offer that We may, in Our sole discretion, accept. Our acknowledgement of receipt of your Order does not mean that We have accepted it. Our acceptance is indicated by Us sending you an Order Confirmation by email. Only once We have sent you an Order Confirmation will there be a legally binding contract between Us and you.
  • Order Confirmations shall contain the following information:
    • Confirmation of the Services ordered, including full details of the main characteristics of those Services; and
    • Fully itemised pricing for the Services ordered, including, where appropriate, taxes and other additional charges.
    • If We, for any reason, do not accept or cannot fulfil your Order, no payment shall be taken under normal circumstances. If We have taken payment, any such sums will be refunded to you as soon as possible and in any event within 8 days.
    • If you want to change your Order, We will let you know if it is possible and at what costs, and if possible, endeavour to assist you with this.
    • We may cancel your Order at any time before We begin providing the Services in the following circumstances:
      • The required personnel and/or required materials necessary for the provision of the Services are not available; or
      • An event outside of Our control renders the provision of the Services impossible or difficult for Us (please refer to Clause 18 for events outside of Our control).
      • If We cancel your Order under sub-Clause 6.6 and We have taken payment, any such sums will be refunded to you as soon as possible and in any event within 8 days.
      • Any refunds due under this Clause 6 will be made using the same payment method that you used when ordering the Services.

• Payment

  • Payment for the Services will be due in the form of an advance payment. Price and payment details will be confirmed in the Order Confirmation. Your chosen payment method will be charged as indicated.
  • All sums due must be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction, or withholding (except where any deduction or withholding of tax is required by law).
  • We accept the following methods of payment on Our Site:
    • VISA;
    • American Express;
    • Mastercard;
    • Switch/Maestro/Solo.
  • If you do not make any payment to Us by the due date, We may charge you interest on the overdue sum at the rate of 8% per annum above the base lending rate of Barclays Bank Plc from time to time. Interest will accrue on a daily basis from the due date for payment until the actual date of payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment. You must pay any interest due when paying an overdue sum.
  • If you are taking out a subscription to one of the Services that require periodic payments, including but not limited to Address, Post and/or Telephone Handling Services, and in situations regulated by sub-Clause 5.8 and 5.9, your acceptance of these Terms means you are granting Us permission under continuous payment authority of the card used to purchase the original Services for the following:
    • Renewable services - fees due will be processed on the card on the date of expiry of the relevant Service. Notice will always be given in advance, and you will have the right to cancel the Service.
    • Mail forwarding services - the cost of postage and handling fees will be taken on the card and will be processed automatically on a monthly basis.
    • In situations regulated by sub-Clause 5.8 and 5.9, i.e., if there are changes in official fees and/or external costs relating to the Services you have ordered, including but not limited to fees imposed by Companies House or Royal Mail, the cost will be taken on the card and will be processed automatically.

• Provision of the Services

  • We will provide the Services with reasonable skill and care consistent with best practices and standards in the company formation sector. We will begin providing the Services on the date agreed when you make your Order (which We shall confirm in the Order Confirmation).
  • We will continue providing the Services until completion or for a period set out in the Order Confirmation.
  • We will make every reasonable effort to provide the Services in a timely manner. We cannot, however, be held responsible for any delays if an event outside of Our control occurs. Please refer to Clause 18 for events outside of Our control.
  • If We require any information, action, and/or acceptance from you in order to provide the Services, We will inform you of this as soon as is reasonably possible. Depending upon the nature of the Services you have ordered, We may require information from or action by you, and We cannot provide the Services if this is not forthcoming.
  • If the information you provide or the action you take or acceptance you provide under sub-Clause 8.4 is delayed, incomplete, or otherwise incorrect, We will not be responsible for any delay caused as a result. If additional work is required from Us to correct or compensate for a problem arising as a result of delayed, incomplete, or otherwise incorrect information or action that you have provided or taken, We may charge you a reasonable additional sum for that work.
  • In certain circumstances, for example where there is a delay in you sending Us information, taking action, or providing acceptance required under sub-Clause 8.4, We may suspend or terminate the Services.
  • In certain circumstances, for example where We encounter a technical problem, We may need to suspend or otherwise interrupt the Services to resolve the issue.
  • If you do not pay Us for the Services as required by Clause 7, We may suspend the Services until you have paid any and all outstanding sums due. This does not affect Our right to charge you interest on any overdue sums under sub-Clause 7.4.
  • We always use reasonable endeavours to ensure that Our Services are trouble-free. If, however, there is a problem with the Services, please contact Us as soon as is reasonably possible as specified in Clause 19.

• General Conditions for the Provision of the Services

  • In order to set up and maintain the Services, you agree to provide Us with an acceptable form of identification and proof of residential address of all directors, partners, shareholders, and/or other stakeholders under any current or future public regulations or policies set by Us; and to verify all information provided and pass all PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) and Sanctions screenings performed by third-party providers as required by Us, if applicable. For the transfer and processing of personal data to such third-party providers, please refer to Our Privacy Policy.
  • We may at any time require to see the original identity documents of directors, partners, shareholders, and/or other stakeholders; if We are unable to do this, We may require such documents to be certified by a notary public or other approved person in Our discretion. It is at Our sole discretion to determine if such identity checks performed by or for Us shall substitute screenings performed by third-party providers.
  • You agree that you shall not use the Services for any illegal or illegitimate purposes, and that such uses will constitute grounds for immediate termination of the Services by Us without provision of any refund.
  • We reserve the right to suspend or terminate the Services without provision of any refund if We are unable to contact you at the contact address provided by you or if any directors, partners, shareholders, and/or other stakeholders of a company associated with your account do not pass identity, PEP, and/or Sanctions screenings performed by Us or third-party providers as required by Us or if all required identity documentation has not been provided within the specified deadlines.
  • When you create a business account on behalf of your company on Our Site or as otherwise directed by Us, you agree to use a business email address as the main contact email when creating and using the account. Your account will be deemed a company account and shall be linked to the companies listed within the portal provided on Our Site or as otherwise directed by Us. We may not permit the use of a personal email address as the main contact email within an account created on Our system.

• Company Formation Services

  • Upon your full compliance with the formalities specified by Us and your provision of all relevant information and documentation materials, Companies are usually formed within 3 - 5 hours after filing of the completed applications to Companies House within standard working hours in London, UK; however, no guarantees as to the time scale of incorporation are given as the formation is dependent on external factors, including but not limited to IT integration issues with Companies House.
  • We aim to send out the relevant documents forming part of the Company Formation Services without undue delay, but We accept no liability for any delays in the delivery of the Services.
  • It is solely your duty to make certain that any company name or domain name you select for the Company is accessible for registration and can be legally used by the Company, and We accept no liability relating to the name of the Company.
  • By consenting to these Terms, you are giving Us authorisation to document with Companies House the statutory documents needed to instigate the Services, and in the event that the Services are halted, closed, or elapse, the statutory documents required to stop the provision of the Services.
  • We shall not accept any legal responsibility if an administrative or judicial act results in the Company being stripped away from the Companies House Register and/or subjected to fines or administrative fees for non-compliance or other issues.

• Address and Post Handling Services

  • You are entitled to use the mailing address and/or telephone number provided by Filing HQ as part of the Services for address and/or post handling only during the term of the subscription for such Services.
  • You shall, in addition to the fee chargeable for the Services, pay the relevant administration fee, which equals the postage costs for mail forwarding.
  • You shall notify Filing HQ in writing without undue delay of any change of your address or contact details, including if you change your and/or your company's Registered Office Address, London Trading Address, and/or Directors’ (officers’) Service Address away from the address provided by Filing HQ as part of the Services for address and/or post handling.
  • Registered Office Address Services only include the receipt and forwarding of statutory mail from Companies House, HMRC, ICO, IPO, and the Pensions Regulator addressed to the Company. This also includes the receipt and forwarding of statutory mail from the judiciary system, subject to fair usage; other types of mail will be returned to sender unless you have also subscribed to and paid for an active London Trading Address. Filing HQ may, at its sole discretion, hold mail for up to 14 days, giving you the chance to upgrade to the correct service before the mail is returned to the sender or disposed of. Statutory mail is opened upon receipt at Filing HQ's office and then scanned through Filing HQ's digital mailroom to the email address on file for the Company at no charge. If the item cannot be scanned, it will be posted to the address on file at no charge. If Filing HQ cannot identify whether the mail item is statutory mail based on the envelope, the item will be categorized as non-statutory and will require an active London Trading Address for forwarding. A subscription for Registered Office Address Services can only be applied to one company; if multiple companies use the address, multiple subscriptions for Registered Address Services must be purchased.
  • Mail Forwarding Service for the Company’s London Trading Address only includes the receipt and forwarding of general mail, including but not limited to bank and business correspondence and letters from court services. This service does not include the receipt and forwarding of statutory mail from Companies House, HMRC, ICO, IPO, and the Pensions Regulator for either a person or a company. Filing HQ may, at its sole discretion, hold mail for up to 14 days, giving you the chance to upgrade to the correct service before the mail is returned to the sender or disposed of.
  • Directors Service Address Services only include the receipt and forwarding of statutory mail from Companies House, HMRC, ICO, IPO, and the Pensions Regulator addressed to the officer for whom the service is purchased. This also includes the receipt and forwarding of statutory mail from the judiciary system, subject to fair usage; other types of mail may, at Filing HQ's sole discretion, be returned to sender or held for up to 14 days, giving you the chance to upgrade to the correct service before being disposed of. Statutory mail is opened upon receipt at Filing HQ's office and then scanned through Filing HQ's digital mailroom to the email address on file for the Company at no charge. If the item cannot be scanned, it will be posted to the address on file at no charge. Directors Address Services can only be applied to one officer of the Company. If multiple officers use the address, multiple subscriptions to Directors Address Services must be purchased.
  • None of the Services allows for the receipt of postal items from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), and you should not use Filing HQ's address with DVLA as such postal items will be returned unopened to the sender.
  • If your subscription for a Registered Office Address, London Trading Address, and/or Director’s Service Address for directors of the Company is not renewed and/or paid on time and/or the services are terminated for other reasons, Filing HQ reserves the right to de-register the Company from the Registered Office Address and/or London Trading Address and/or de-register directors of the Company from the Director’s Service Address and, at its discretion, register such directors of the Company at the home address(es) previously provided by you.
  • All postal items and/or deliveries received at the Registered Office Address, London Trading Address, and/or Director’s Service Address for directors of the Company are received and handled entirely at your risk. Filing HQ shall not accept any liability or responsibility whatsoever for any losses, shortages, or damages to such postal items and/or deliveries howsoever caused.
  • If you expect to receive large (larger than length 300mm x width 215mm x height 55mm), bulky, or heavy items via the Services provided by Filing HQ, you must notify Filing HQ a minimum of 24 hours in advance, either by telephone or email, prior to the expected delivery date. Filing HQ shall charge its current storage fees for storing such items until the item is collected.
  • Filing HQ securely destroys any post, including parcels, if you request it to do so once you have been notified via email about the item. Filing HQ uses a certified secure third-party supplier to assist with this task and may charge you its current fees for the safe destruction of such items.
  • Filing HQ shall take all reasonable steps to ensure accurate and efficient dealing with all communications, including but not limited to mail and post received on your behalf, and that mail is handled in accordance with your subscription for Services and your instructions. However, no warranty or liability is accepted by Filing HQ, its staff, or agents in relation to the Services provided, and Filing HQ does not allow you to have any a) important or valuable documents or items, or b) prohibited items pursuant to the Royal Mail listing of such items sent to Filing HQ as providers of the Registered Office Address, London Trading Address, and/or Director’s Service Address for directors of the Company.
  • By ordering address and/or post handling as part of the Services, including subscription for a Registered Office Address, London Trading Address, and/or Director’s Service Address Services for directors of the Company, you provide Filing HQ with power of attorney to receive and formally sign for the receipt of any post addressed to the Company and applicable director(s) of the Company.
  • Any postal items received will, if Filing HQ is not instructed otherwise and if agreed, be forwarded to the address specified by you by Royal Mail, untracked and uninsured.
  • Filing HQ's address should not be used by the Company and/or any directors or other stakeholders of the Company until all identity documentation has been fully verified and approved by Filing HQ's compliance team.
