Website terms

1. Website operator

“BigBearX”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Barksfield Limited. Please contact us using these details with any question about the website.

2. Website and engagement terms

BigBearX provides commercial strategy, technology and delivery advisory services for businesses. This website explains our approach and helps you decide whether to start a conversation. It is not an online checkout or a platform for buying financial products.

Reading the site, enquiring or booking an introductory call does not commission paid work. An engagement begins only after we and the client agree its scope and commercial terms in writing. That agreement governs the work and takes priority over general website descriptions.

These website terms do not impose a cancellation fee, subscription, retainer renewal or transfer of ownership in future project outputs. Such arrangements belong in the agreement for that work.

3. Service scope and responsibilities

• Diagnose: investigate an agreed question, examine evidence and options, and recommend a next step. The Private AI review is a focused variation assessing opportunities and control requirements.
• Design: turn a sufficiently understood problem into a plan ready to commission, with agreed requirements, responsibilities, supplier considerations, budget and acceptance measures.
• Direct: provide agreed oversight, challenge and reporting. The client sponsor retains spending, scope, risk and acceptance decisions; the client delivery owner and suppliers execute the work. “Direct” is a service name, not an appointment as a statutory director.
• Decision Review and General Advisory: a separately scoped second opinion or ongoing advisory time within agreed limits.

Stages are separately scoped and priced. You need not buy all three, and suitable existing evidence or plans may support starting with Design or Direct. The written agreement defines actual outputs, exclusions, client inputs, timetable and authority.

Implementation, software development and formal technical or security assurance are commissioned separately by the client. Day-to-day delivery coordination remains with the client delivery owner and suppliers. BigBearX advisory offers do not include legal, tax, investment or other regulated professional advice. Links or references to Centry and other organisations do not engage them; their services and terms are separate.

4. Fees and starting work

Published prices are in US dollars. Ranges and reference fees describe the stated scope, not a commitment to perform every project at that price. Applicable tax and external implementation or supplier costs are separate unless a written proposal includes them.

Before paid work, we agree the scope, fee, payment schedule, expenses, currency, tax treatment and delivery assumptions. Material changes need agreement. Payment, cancellation, termination, output ownership and engagement liability are addressed in the written contract.

Indicative durations depend on timely access to people, evidence and decisions. Supplier performance and changes in the brief may affect delivery. The website does not guarantee savings, revenue growth, funding or implementation outcomes.

5. Enquiries and first calls

The current first-call booking is a 30-minute conversation with Rupert Barksfield, with no payment required. Its purpose is to understand your objective and consider a useful next step. It is not a completed diagnosis or a commitment to accept the work.

Use accurate details and submit only information you are entitled to share. A form acknowledgement means the enquiry was accepted for email delivery; it does not book a call or guarantee inbox receipt. Booking requires the calendar’s confirmation process. Use its available change controls or email us if you need to rearrange.

Keep enquiries to general business context. Do not send confidential client records, credentials or sensitive personal information through public forms. Where needed, we will agree confidentiality terms and appropriate document sharing. An enquiry alone does not create an NDA or legal privilege.

Our privacy notice explains the data flows. An enquiry does not subscribe you to marketing.

6. Information and examples

Website material helps you assess our services; it is not advice for your particular circumstances. Take appropriate advice before relying on it for a decision.

Outputs labelled “illustrative” or “example” are hypothetical demonstrations, not client results or promises. Experience references describe the roles and evidence stated; an organisation’s name or logo does not imply endorsement.

We aim for accuracy and may correct errors or update descriptions and prices. We cannot guarantee that every statement remains current or that a service is available for a particular project or date.

7. Using our content

Our original text, artwork and branding belong to us or our licensors. Third-party material, marks and software remain subject to their owners’ rights and licences.

You may read, link to and make reasonable copies of public pages to evaluate our services for yourself or your organisation, retaining attribution and notices. Do not sell the material, claim it as your own, remove ownership notices or imply endorsement. Ask before republishing substantial parts or using our branding commercially. Rights granted by law or applicable third-party licences are unaffected.

Ownership and reuse of commissioned outputs are determined by the engagement agreement.

8. Responsible use and availability

Do not send unlawful or deceptive material, impersonate others, distribute malicious code, overload the site, harvest personal information or seek unauthorised access. Do not bypass submission limits or interfere with booking and enquiry services. We may restrict abusive traffic to protect users and the site.

Cal.com, Google Meet and other linked services have their own operators and applicable terms. A link is not a guarantee of their content or performance.

We may maintain, change or temporarily suspend the website and do not promise uninterrupted or error-free access. If a form or calendar fails, email rub@bigbearx.com. You remain responsible for protecting your devices and internet connection.

9. Responsibility and liability

Nothing here excludes or limits liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability or right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Subject to that protection, and only to the extent lawful and reasonable, we are not responsible to business users for lost profit, revenue, opportunity or goodwill, or indirect or consequential loss arising from use of this free informational website. These terms do not exclude responsibility where that would be unlawful or unreasonable.

Responsibilities and negotiated limits for paid work belong in its engagement agreement. These terms do not replace that agreement or reduce mandatory consumer rights where applicable.

10. Law, complaints and changes

Send website complaints to rub@bigbearx.com, explaining the issue and desired outcome.

These website terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Its courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction over website disputes. This does not remove mandatory protections or rights to use another court available under applicable law, including consumer rights.

Updates apply to future website use and show a revised date above. Updating this page does not retrospectively amend a separate engagement agreement.
