6. Professional Services Disclaimer

Unless expressly agreed in writing, nothing contained on this website constitutes:

  • financial advice;
  • regulated investment advice;
  • legal advice;
  • accounting advice;
  • taxation advice;
  • insurance advice; or
  • any regulated activity requiring authorisation by the Financial Conduct Authority or another regulatory body.

Any recommendations, opinions or observations provided by Crespont are based upon the information available at the time and should not be interpreted as guarantees or assurances regarding future outcomes.

Clients remain responsible for obtaining independent legal, financial, tax or other professional advice where appropriate.


7. Business Introductions

One of Crespont Group Limited’s core services involves introducing clients to carefully selected suppliers, dealers, manufacturers, service providers, consultants and other third parties.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing:

  • Crespont acts solely as an independent intermediary;
  • Crespont does not become a party to any agreement subsequently entered into between a client and a third party;
  • any contract entered into following an introduction exists solely between the client and the relevant third party;
  • clients remain responsible for conducting their own due diligence before entering into any agreement.

Although we endeavour to introduce clients only to reputable organisations, Crespont makes no warranty regarding:

  • financial stability;
  • service quality;
  • product quality;
  • availability;
  • delivery times;
  • pricing;
  • contractual performance;
  • warranties provided by third parties; or
  • any representation made by those third parties.

Any dispute arising between a client and a third party introduced by Crespont shall remain a matter between those parties.


8. No Guarantee of Outcome

Crespont Group Limited is committed to delivering professional services to a high standard.

However, due to the nature of consultancy, brokerage and procurement services, we cannot guarantee:

  • that a requested vehicle can be sourced;
  • supplier availability;
  • stock availability;
  • manufacturer allocations;
  • commercial outcomes;
  • pricing;
  • savings;
  • successful negotiations;
  • successful introductions;
  • business opportunities;
  • project success;
  • investment performance;
  • commercial profitability; or
  • any particular result.

Every project is unique and outcomes depend upon numerous factors beyond our reasonable control.

Accordingly, no representation or warranty is given that engaging Crespont will result in any specific commercial outcome or financial benefit.


9. Quotations

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, every quotation issued by Crespont Group Limited:

  • is prepared individually for the relevant client;
  • is based upon the information provided at the time;
  • is confidential;
  • remains valid for thirty (30) days from the date of issue;
  • may be withdrawn prior to formal acceptance;
  • may be revised where project scope changes;
  • may be revised where supplier pricing changes;
  • does not constitute a legally binding contract until accepted by both parties.

Quotations are prepared in good faith using information reasonably available at the time of issue.

Should market conditions, supplier availability or project requirements materially change, Crespont reserves the right to issue an updated quotation.

10. Client Instructions and Acceptance

A contractual relationship between Crespont Group Limited and a Client shall generally arise when:

  • a quotation is accepted in writing;
  • an invoice is accepted and paid where applicable;
  • written confirmation to proceed is received;
  • or Crespont commences work following the Client’s instruction.

Acceptance may be communicated by email, written correspondence or any other method expressly accepted by Crespont.

By instructing Crespont to commence work, the Client confirms that they have authority to do so and agree to be bound by these Terms together with any quotation, invoice or written agreement.

Where a Client instructs Crespont to proceed before a formal quotation has been signed, those instructions shall be deemed acceptance of these Terms.


11. Fees and Payment

Fees for services are determined according to the nature, complexity and scope of each individual project.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

  • all fees are quoted in Pounds Sterling (GBP);
  • VAT will be charged where applicable;
  • invoices are payable within seven (7) calendar days from the invoice date;
  • payment shall be made by bank transfer unless another method has been agreed in writing.

Failure to make payment by the due date may result in:

  • suspension of ongoing work;
  • postponement of project delivery;
  • suspension of further services;
  • recovery of outstanding amounts through legal means where necessary.

Crespont reserves the right to request payment before continuing work where invoices remain overdue.


12. Deposits

Certain projects may require a deposit before work commences.

Whether a deposit is required will depend upon factors including:

  • project size;
  • estimated duration;
  • supplier commitments;
  • procurement requirements;
  • third-party costs;
  • bespoke consultancy work.

The amount of any required deposit will be confirmed within the quotation or invoice.

Payment of a deposit confirms the Client’s intention to proceed with the agreed services.


13. Cancellation

A Client may cancel their instruction at any time by notifying Crespont in writing.

Where a deposit has been paid and Crespont has not commenced work, the Client shall be entitled to a refund of 50% of the deposit paid.

Once work has commenced, deposits become non-refundable unless Crespont agrees otherwise in writing.

For the purposes of these Terms, work shall be regarded as having commenced once Crespont has begun activities including, but not limited to:

  • research;
  • procurement;
  • supplier engagement;
  • negotiations;
  • consultations;
  • sourcing activities;
  • preparation of documentation;
  • project planning;
  • administrative work;
  • communications with third parties.

Where work has already commenced, the Client remains liable for payment of fees relating to work completed up to the date of cancellation.


14. Client Responsibilities

Clients agree to:

  • provide accurate information;
  • respond promptly to reasonable requests;
  • provide documentation where required;
  • cooperate with Crespont throughout the engagement;
  • ensure all information supplied is truthful and complete;
  • notify Crespont of any material changes affecting the project.

Crespont shall not be responsible for delays or losses arising from inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information supplied by the Client.

Where delays are caused by the Client, project timescales may be extended accordingly.


15. Confidentiality

Crespont recognises that many projects involve commercially sensitive or confidential information.

Unless disclosure is required by law or authorised by the Client, Crespont shall take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of information received during the course of providing its services.

Likewise, Clients agree not to disclose confidential information belonging to Crespont, including:

  • commercial information;
  • pricing structures;
  • supplier relationships;
  • methodologies;
  • business strategies;
  • proprietary documentation;
  • internal processes;
  • trade secrets.

These confidentiality obligations shall continue after completion or termination of the engagement.


16. Non-Circumvention

The value of Crespont’s business is founded upon its professional relationships, commercial network and carefully developed industry contacts.

Where Crespont introduces a Client to any supplier, dealer, manufacturer, service provider, consultant or other third party, the Client agrees not to deliberately circumvent or bypass Crespont for the purpose of avoiding agreed fees or commissions.

Without Crespont’s prior written consent, the Client shall not knowingly:

  • engage directly with an introduced party in order to avoid fees payable to Crespont;
  • request alternative quotations through introduced contacts with the intention of excluding Crespont from the transaction;
  • use confidential information obtained through Crespont to secure a commercial advantage without Crespont’s involvement.

Nothing within this clause prevents a Client from maintaining existing relationships established independently of Crespont before any introduction was made.

Clients acknowledge that access to such relationships forms part of the value of the services provided by Crespont.
