Terms of service

 

1. Introduction and who we are

I am Paul Claireaux and this site www.paulclaireaux.com is operated by my company Irate Investment Ltd, a UK limited company registered in England and Wales, Company No. 8791354. Our registered office is at: 75-77 Buccleauch Street, Barrow in Furness, Cumbria, LA14 1QQ

Please read through these Terms and Conditions carefully before you use this site, and consult them regularly as you continue to use it, as the Terms and Conditions may change from time to time.

These Terms and Conditions tell you the terms on which you may use this site and apply to all users whether as a regular user or a guest. By using this site you accept these Terms and Conditions and agree to abide by them.

If you do not accept these Terms and Conditions, please do not use the site.

 

2. What we do and what we do NOT do

We do NOT sell financial products of any kind.

This site provides information for educational purposes on a variety of subjects but focuses on fundamental concepts around human behaviour and personal finance.

Our aim is to help you make more informed decisions about your life and financial plans.

Our information is generic in nature. We do NOT offer regulated financial advice. This means that we do NOT make specific recommendations for you to buy, sell or otherwise transact investments, or to engage in any investment strategies, or for you not to do any of these things.

You are solely responsible for any decisions that you make regarding your finances and investments. You are solely responsible for any losses that you may incur from the actions you take (or do not take) having used this site or after attending our educational talks or workshops or personal life coaching sessions.

We do not take responsibility for the outcomes and consequences. It is your responsibility to satisfy yourself as to the suitability of any particular investment or action you take.

Any figures that are provided on this site or in video content – such as potential returns from various asset types held within different product wrappers – are only examples of possible outcomes. We offer no assurance that the returns from your investments will be similar to, or within the range of, example figures. The value of shares and investments can go down as well as up. You may not get back the money that you invest. Past performance is not a guide to future performance.

You understand the need to conduct your own due diligence before implementing investments, business plans, or other changes to your personal life.

If you require specific recommendations on investments, then we strongly recommend that you appoint an appropriately qualified and regulated professional adviser who will advise you in line with their own terms of business.

 

3. Use of the site

You have permission for temporary use of the site, but we can withdraw or change our service at any time without telling you and without being legally responsible to you.

You must treat all identification codes, passwords and other security information as confidential. We are entitled to monitor your password and, at our discretion, require you to change it.

If we think you have failed to keep confidentiality or that you have compromised the security of this site in any way, we will act to prevent you from gaining further access.

We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations of these Terms and Conditions, and we reserve the right to fully cooperate with any law enforcement or legal requirement or investigation where we might be requested or required to disclose the identity of anyone posting any email messages, or publishing, or otherwise making available any materials that are believed to violate these Terms and Conditions. You may not hold us accountable or liable in any way for the outcome or process of such investigations.

You agree to follow our Acceptable Use Policy for Website – see below.

If you allow anyone else to use our site, you must make sure that they read these Terms and Conditions first, and that they follow them.

Only use the site as allowed by law and these Terms and Conditions. If you do not, we may suspend your usage, or stop it completely.

We frequently update the site and make changes to it, but we are not obliged to do this; material on the site may therefore be out of date, and you should not rely on it.

Nothing on the site should be construed as advice or as a specific recommendation. You are solely responsible for the outcomes and consequences of any actions you take (or do not take) after reading material on this site. This site is provided solely for your non-commercial, personal use, so that you may access the educational materials we provide. You may not use this site for any other purpose without our express prior written consent.

We exclude all legal responsibility and costs for reliance placed on the site by anyone.

You should conduct your own due diligence before implementing investments, business plans or other changes to your personal life. Before making investment decisions, you should read carefully any terms and conditions relating to product, the product provider’s terms and conditions and any other terms applicable to a product, and check that any information held by the product provider about you is correct, complete and accurate. It is your responsibility to ensure the any product matches your requirements.

We recommend that you take advice from a qualified professional adviser, such as a regulated financial adviser, who will advise you in line with their own terms of business.

You may need to register to access certain parts of the site. We follow our Privacy Policy in handling information about you. You can read our Privacy Policy here.

If you book a place at one of our workshops through this site, your order will take place under the Booking Terms and Conditions, which will be made available prior to purchase.

 

4. Your Account

In order to use the services on this site, you may be required to create an account, which will contain personal details. Payment information will be required when you book a place at one of our workshops. We do not hold payment information on our site.

If you think that your account details have been obtained by someone who should not have them, you should contact us immediately. If an unauthorised payment is made before you notify us, we accept no liability or responsibility.

 

5. The Contract

When you book a place at one of our workshops and proceed through the payment process, you are making an offer to us which, if accepted by us, will result in a binding contract. Neither submitting an electronic booking nor completing the checkout process constitutes our acceptance of your order. A contract will be formed between us if we accept your order by confirming your booking on a workshop. Payment for a workshop is not acceptance by us of your offer and it does not create a contract between us.

 

6. Fees

Details of our fees for our workshops can be found on the site. All fees are payable when booking a workshop.

We make every effort to ensure that fees are correct at the time that payment is made. We reserve the right to change our fees, and alter and remove any special offers from time to time.

 

7. Intellectual property rights

We are the owner or licensee of all intellectual property rights in the site (for example, the copyright and any rights in the designs) and in any of the material posted on it. They are protected by copyright.

You may not (and may not authorise any other party) to co-brand or otherwise associate yourself with our company and this site. You may not sell our information or make other statements regarding our company or this site without our express prior written permission. Co-branding includes the display of a name, logo, trademark, or other means of attribution or identification of any party in such a manner as is reasonably likely to give a user the impression that such other party has the right to display, publish, sell or distribute this site or content accessible within this site. You agree to cooperate with us to make sure that unauthorised co-branding, linking or other inappropriate use ceases immediately.
