Using Sidgrove Intelligence

Acceptance

By signing in to Sidgrove Intelligence you confirm that you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the platform.

Who can use the platform

Sidgrove Intelligence is a private platform. Access is limited to:

• members of the Sidgrove team using their @sidgrove.com Workspace account; and
• individuals at Sidgrove client businesses who have been invited by Sidgrove to view their company’s data.

You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials secure and for activity carried out from your account.

What the platform does

Sidgrove Intelligence presents accountancy data we hold about your business - bookkeeping, cashflow, deadlines, payroll, year-end and similar - in a dashboard form, and lets authorised users add comments, sign off on reviews, and configure preferences. The underlying numbers remain the responsibility of the source system (e.g. your accounting ledger, your payroll provider).

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• attempt to access data belonging to a business you are not authorised for;
• scrape, mirror, or systematically extract data from the platform other than for your business’s legitimate internal use;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the platform;
• interfere with the platform’s operation or availability, or probe its security beyond a good-faith disclosure to dave@sidgrove.com;
• upload anything unlawful, malicious, or infringing.

Your data

Information about how we handle personal data is set out in our Privacy policy. The accountancy data presented on the platform belongs to your business; Sidgrove processes it under the terms of the engagement letter we have with you.

Service availability

We aim for the platform to be available whenever you need it, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may need to take the platform offline briefly for maintenance, upgrades, or to investigate security incidents. Where possible we will give advance notice of planned downtime.

The platform is provided on an “as is” basis. We do not warrant that the platform will be error-free, or that the data it surfaces is fit for any specific purpose other than the accountancy services described in your engagement letter.

Changes to the platform

Sidgrove Intelligence is an actively developed product. We may add, change, or remove features at any time. Where a change materially reduces the functionality available to active clients, we will give reasonable notice.

Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access if your engagement with Sidgrove ends, if we reasonably believe you have breached these terms or the engagement letter, or if we are required to do so by law. We will normally let you know first, except where doing so would compromise an investigation or be contrary to a legal obligation.

You can ask us to remove your access at any time by emailing dave@sidgrove.com.

Intellectual property

The Sidgrove Intelligence platform, including its design, code, branding, and documentation, is owned by Sidgrove Ltd (or licensed to us). You receive a non-exclusive, revocable right to use the platform for the purposes set out in these terms while your engagement with Sidgrove is active.

You retain ownership of the underlying business data shown on the platform.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by UK law, Sidgrove’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with your use of Sidgrove Intelligence (separate from the accountancy services governed by your engagement letter) is limited to the fees paid to us under that engagement letter in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the liability.

We do not exclude or limit liability where it would be unlawful to do so - including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraudulent misrepresentation.

We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits, or loss of data resulting from your use of the platform.

Indemnity

You will indemnify Sidgrove against losses arising from your breach of these terms or your unlawful use of the platform.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising under or in connection with them.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated to active users by email.
