1. About these terms

1.1 These terms apply to services provided by Morgan Compliance Group Ltd ("we", "us"), company number 17207134, registered office 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ, to the organisation named in the proposal or order form ("you").

1.2 Our services are provided to businesses and other organisations only, not to consumers.

1.3 If a signed proposal or order form conflicts with these terms, the proposal or order form takes priority.

2. How a contract is formed

2.1 Submitting the website form does not create a contract. A contract is formed when you accept our written proposal or order form, which sets out the services, package, fees and start date.

3. Consultancy projects

3.1 Project work, such as accreditation applications, ISO implementation, audits, inspections and document preparation, is delivered to the scope in the agreed proposal.

3.2 Work outside that scope will be quoted before it starts.

3.3 Certification and accreditation bodies make their own decisions. We cannot guarantee any approval, certification or outcome. Their fees are separate from ours.

4. Morgan Safety Support subscriptions

4.1 Packages. The services in each package are as described on our Safety Support page at the date you sign up, and in your order form.

4.2 Minimum term. Each subscription has a minimum term of 12 months from the start date.

4.3 After the minimum term. The subscription then continues month to month until either party gives at least 30 days’ written notice.

4.4 Allowances. Package allowances, such as review sessions, document reviews and amendment hours, apply per 12-month period, cannot be carried over and have no cash value.

4.5 Fair use. Advice is provided on a fair-use basis appropriate to the package. If use consistently exceeds what the package reasonably covers, we will discuss a more suitable package or quote for the additional work.

4.6 Business hours. Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, excluding bank holidays.

4.7 Response targets. We aim to respond to routine enquiries by the next working day, and to urgent incident enquiries on the same working day during business hours. These are targets, not guarantees.

4.8 Not an emergency service. You must take any immediate action needed to protect people, contact the emergency services where required, and make any statutory report, such as under RIDDOR, without waiting for our advice.

4.9 Adviser availability. During planned absence we will give notice where possible. During any absence, we will either respond on return within a reasonable time or, with your agreement, arrange a suitably qualified associate.

5. Competent-person appointments

5.1 We act as your appointed external competent person only where this is expressly agreed in writing, with a defined scope of activities.

5.2 Buying a subscription does not by itself create a competent-person appointment.

5.3 You keep your legal duties as an employer and duty holder. Our role is to advise and assist you in meeting them.

6. Your responsibilities

6.1 You will give us accurate, complete and timely information, access and cooperation.

6.2 You are responsible for decisions about our advice, and for implementing, supervising and maintaining your health, safety and environmental arrangements.

6.3 Our advice relies on the information you provide. We are not responsible for problems caused by incomplete or inaccurate information.

7. Fees and payment

7.1 Fees are as set out in the proposal or order form. Subscription fees are payable monthly in advance, online through Stripe, by card or Direct Debit. For project work, a deposit is payable on acceptance of the proposal: 50% of the agreed fee for projects under £1,000, or 30% for projects of £1,000 or more, with any further stage payments set out in the proposal. Work starts once the deposit is received. The balance is payable on completion, before final reports or documents are released. The deposit is non-refundable once work has started.

7.2 We are not currently VAT registered. If we register, VAT will be added at the applicable rate from the date of registration, with written notice.

7.3 Any other invoices are payable within 14 days. We may charge interest and compensation on late payments under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, and may suspend services while any invoice is overdue by more than 14 days.

7.4 We may review subscription fees once a year, with at least 30 days’ written notice. No increase applies during the first 12 months.

8. Ending the contract

8.1 Either party may end the contract immediately by written notice if the other commits a material breach and does not fix it within 14 days of being asked to, or becomes insolvent.

8.2 If you end a subscription during the minimum term other than under clause 8.1, the fees for the rest of the minimum term remain payable.

8.3 Ending the contract does not affect fees already due.

9. Liability

9.1 Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot legally be limited.

9.2 We are not liable for loss of profit, revenue, business or goodwill, or for any indirect or consequential loss.

9.3 Our total liability arising from or in connection with a contract is limited to the fees paid by you under that contract in the 12 months before the claim arose.

9.4 We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

10. Documents and intellectual property

10.1 We keep ownership of our templates, methods and pre-existing materials.

10.2 Once paid for, you may use documents we produce for you for your organisation’s own internal purposes.

11. Confidentiality and data protection

11.1 Each party will keep the other’s confidential information confidential and use it only for the contract.

11.2 Where we process personal data on your behalf, we act as your processor, follow your documented instructions and apply appropriate security. Further details are in a data processing schedule to your order form and in our Privacy Policy.

12. General

12.1 We may use suitably qualified associates to help deliver services, with your agreement. We remain responsible for their work.

12.2 Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control.

12.3 These terms and the proposal or order form are the entire agreement between us.

12.4 These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.

Scope and limitations of our services

The following limitations form part of the service information. Your signed agreement sets out the services you have purchased and any additional exclusions.

Accreditation Support

Morgan Compliance Group is an independent consultancy. We do not issue accreditations, act on behalf of an accreditation body or guarantee approval. Decisions and scheme fees remain with the relevant accreditation provider.

ISO Management Systems

Morgan Compliance Group is an independent consultancy and is not affiliated with, authorised by or acting on behalf of ISO, UKAS or any certification body. ISO develops and publishes standards but does not certify organisations. Morgan Compliance Group does not issue ISO certificates or conduct independent certification audits and cannot guarantee certification. Certification decisions, audit programmes, timescales and fees remain with the selected certification body. The client remains responsible for implementing, maintaining and continually improving its management system.

Health and Safety Support

Morgan Compliance Group provides independent health and safety consultancy within the agreed scope and does not act as an enforcing authority, insurer, legal representative or regulator. Consultancy support does not transfer or remove the statutory duties of the employer or those responsible for managing the business. We cannot guarantee legal compliance, prevent every incident or eliminate the possibility of enforcement action. Advice depends on the accuracy and completeness of the information provided and the client remains responsible for decisions, implementation, supervision, monitoring and maintaining effective controls.

Competent Person Support

Morgan Compliance Group does not automatically become an organisation’s appointed competent person through an enquiry, consultation, document purchase or one-off piece of work. Any retained competent-person appointment must be expressly agreed in writing and identify the named adviser, scope, exclusions, communication arrangements, availability and review period. Appointment does not transfer or remove the employer’s statutory duties or management responsibilities. No single adviser can be assumed competent for every specialist subject and additional occupational health, occupational hygiene, fire, engineering, electrical, structural, asbestos, medical or legal expertise may be required. Morgan Compliance Group does not guarantee legal compliance, the prevention of incidents or freedom from enforcement action.

Compliance Audits

Morgan Compliance Group provides independent consultancy reviews and outsourced internal-audit support. We are not HSE, an enforcing authority, certification body, accreditation body or legal adviser and we do not conduct third-party certification audits. An audit is a time-bound, sample-based assessment against an agreed scope and cannot examine every activity, record or condition. It does not guarantee legal compliance, prevent incidents or enforcement action or guarantee certification or accreditation. Findings reflect the evidence available at the time of the audit. The client remains responsible for deciding, implementing and maintaining corrective actions. Where Morgan Compliance Group has helped design or implement the system being audited, suitable arrangements will be agreed to protect audit objectivity.

Environmental Compliance

Advice is based on the agreed scope and information available. Specialist sampling, permits and legal representation are not included unless expressly agreed.

Controlled Compliance Documentation

Documents only become effective when the client reviews, approves, communicates and implements them. Generic documents alone do not demonstrate compliance.

CHAS Application Support

Morgan Compliance Group is an independent consultancy and is not affiliated with, authorised by or acting on behalf of Veriforce CHAS. We do not issue CHAS membership or certification and cannot guarantee approval. Assessment decisions, membership requirements, timescales and CHAS fees remain with Veriforce CHAS. The client remains responsible for providing accurate information and implementing and maintaining its arrangements.

Constructionline Application Support

Morgan Compliance Group is an independent consultancy and is not affiliated with, authorised by or acting on behalf of Constructionline or Once For All. We do not award Constructionline membership, verification, Common Assessment Standard certification or SSIP certification and cannot guarantee approval. Assessment decisions, membership requirements, timescales and provider fees remain with Constructionline and Once For All. The client remains responsible for supplying accurate information and implementing and maintaining its arrangements.

Achilles and SSIP Support

Morgan Compliance Group is an independent consultancy and is not affiliated with, authorised by or acting on behalf of Achilles, SSIP or any SSIP member scheme. We do not award Achilles registration or supplier qualification, conduct Achilles Verify audits or issue SSIP certification. We cannot guarantee registration, certification, audit results, buyer selection or contract awards. Decisions, criteria, timescales and provider fees remain with Achilles, the relevant SSIP member scheme and the purchasing organisation. The client remains responsible for supplying accurate information and implementing and maintaining its arrangements.

ISO 9001 Quality Management Support

Morgan Compliance Group is an independent consultancy and is not affiliated with, authorised by or acting on behalf of ISO, UKAS or any certification body. ISO develops and publishes standards but does not certify organisations. Morgan Compliance Group does not issue ISO 9001 certificates or conduct third-party certification audits and cannot guarantee certification. Certification decisions, audit programmes, transition arrangements, timescales and fees remain with the selected certification body. The client remains responsible for implementing, maintaining and continually improving its quality management system.

ISO 14001 Environmental Management Support

ISO develops and publishes standards but does not certify organisations.

The client remains responsible for identifying and complying with applicable legal and other requirements and for implementing, maintaining and continually improving its environmental management system.

ISO 45001 Health and Safety Management Support

Morgan Compliance Group is an independent consultancy and is not affiliated with, authorised by or acting on behalf of ISO, UKAS or any certification body. ISO develops and publishes standards but does not certify organisations. Morgan Compliance Group does not issue ISO 45001 certificates, conduct third-party certification audits or provide legal advice. We cannot guarantee certification, legal compliance or the prevention of incidents.

The client remains responsible for controlling risk and implementing, maintaining and continually improving its management system.
