Terms of use.

This website is operated by Daniel Smith Advisory Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 17468906, whose registered office is Office 2042, 60 Tottenham Court Road, London W1T 2EW. It trades as Daniel Smith Advisory. In these terms, “I” and “me” mean that company, and “you” means anyone using the site.

By using danielsmithadvisory.co.uk you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

This site describes the services I offer and how I work. That is all it does. Nothing is sold here: there is no shop, no account to create, no payment to make and no way to book or buy anything. The only thing you can send me is an enquiry.

Everything written here — including the worked examples, the risk assessment method and any figures or ratings shown — is general information about how the work is approached. It is illustrative. It is not a security assessment of your situation, your organisation or your journey, and it is not professional advice you should act on.

Security and travel risk decisions depend on facts that change constantly and that a website cannot know. Do not treat anything on this site as a substitute for advice on your actual circumstances, and do not rely on it in making a decision about anyone’s safety.

I keep the content accurate and current so far as I reasonably can, but I do not warrant that it is complete or up to date at the moment you read it.

Reading this site, or sending an enquiry through it, does not create a consultant and client relationship between us, and does not put me under any duty towards you.

An enquiry is not an engagement. It is a request to talk. Sending one does not oblige me to accept the work, and it does not oblige you to proceed. I may decline an enquiry without giving a reason, and there is no charge either way.

Please do not send confidential or sensitive material through the enquiry form. A couple of sentences is enough to establish whether a conversation is worth having, and detail is better shared once we have agreed how it will be handled.

Any work I carry out is governed by the scope and terms we agree in writing for that engagement — what is being done, what it costs, what you get and what each of us is responsible for.

Those terms govern the work, not this page. Where anything here conflicts with them, they take precedence. Nothing on this website forms part of a contract for services, and no statement here is a warranty about the outcome of any engagement.

The content of this site — the text, the design, the imagery, the diagrams and the way the method is set out — belongs to me or is used with permission, and is protected by copyright.

You are welcome to read it, print it and share a link to it. You may not republish it, reproduce it commercially, or present it as your own work or as part of a competing offering, without my written permission. Trade marks and names appearing on the site remain the property of their owners.

Please do not:

• Use the site for anything unlawful, or to send anything false or misleading.
• Submit the enquiry form automatically, in bulk, or for marketing, recruitment or sales approaches.
• Attempt to gain access to any part of the site, its server or its database that is not made available to you.
• Introduce anything malicious, or attempt to interfere with the site’s availability for other people.
• Collect information from the site by scraping, harvesting or similar means.

The enquiry form is rate limited, and I may block access from a source that misuses it.

This site does not currently link out to any other website, and it loads nothing from anyone else’s server. If that changes, any external link is provided for convenience only: I do not control those sites, do not endorse them, and am not responsible for their content or their handling of your information.

The site is provided as it stands. I do not guarantee that it will always be available or uninterrupted, and I may change, suspend or withdraw any part of it without notice.

The enquiry form is not an emergency channel. If you are dealing with something live and urgent, contact the emergency services or your existing provider. Do not wait on a form.

To the extent the law allows, I am not liable for any loss arising from your use of this site or from reliance on anything published on it, including loss of profit, loss of business, loss of data, or any indirect or consequential loss.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. If you are dealing with me as a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected by anything on this page.

Liability for any engagement is dealt with in the terms agreed for that engagement, not here.

What the site collects, why, and how to have it removed is set out in the privacy notice. In short: no cookies, no advertising, no tracking services, and an anonymous page count you can switch off.

I may update these terms. The version on this page at the time you use the site is the one that applies, and the date at the top tells you when it last changed. Substantial changes will be obvious from that date rather than announced.

These terms, and any dispute arising from them or from your use of this site, are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom, you keep the benefit of any mandatory protections of the law where you live, and may bring proceedings in your own courts.
