Working with us
There is no client-lawyer relationship established between you and us, purely by your use of this site or the content made available through it.

The only way to become our client is through an agreement between you and us, after we have completed our standard new business review and then only on the basis of a separate off-line agreement. If you have an issue on which you would like our help, please email us at enquiries@steerandco.com.

Alternatively, if you are a Creative or Digital Agency and you wish to gain access to our comprehensive toolkit of template contracts, documents and guidance for use within your business only (and not for resale), you can gain access to these from the S & C Collective. The S & C Collective is made available under separate Terms & Conditions.

It is your responsibility to install suitable anti-virus and security software on your computer hardware and other devices to protect against any such bugs, viruses or other such harmful programming routines

We disclaim liability for
As this site is provided for general information only, we assume no responsibility for any loss or damages in respect of this site or any content on it.

Nothing in these Terms restricts our responsibilities relating to:

• our fraud or reckless disregard of professional obligations or
• any other liability that we cannot restrict by applicable law.

Third Party Software
You might need to download and activate certain software in order to use certain content made available on our site. We will tell you, where that is the case.
Where that happens, you will have to explicitly accept the terms of a licence agreement with that third party. You accept that we have no responsibility or control over such third party software.

Links
Our site may include links to third-party websites. We have not reviewed these and we don’t have any control over them, so we are not responsible for those sites or their content. If you decide to access any of these third-party websites, you do so entirely at your own risk.
Remember that if you use a linked site, any personal information you give them will be dealt with in line with their privacy policy, not ours, so please read their terms and conditions and privacy policy beforehand.
You may only link to our site provided that:

• the homepage is not loaded into frames on your site, unless we expressly agree
• your site or services do not misrepresent your relationship with us or present false information about us or otherwise harm our business or conflict with our interests
• we reserve the right to withdraw linking permission any time without prior notice

Entire agreement
These Terms govern our relationship with you and represent our entire agreement with you.

Assignment
You may not assign, sub-license or otherwise transfer any of your rights under these Terms.

Waiver
If we delay in taking any steps under our agreement with you, against you, this doesn’t prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.

No Third Party Rights
All agreements between us based on these Terms are just between you and us. No one else can enforce any of them and you can only transfer any of them with our consent. We can transfer our rights under any such agreements to another company providing this does not adversely affect your rights under our agreements with you.
