Terms of use

Who these terms are with

Building a Company of 1 — referred to here as BC1 — is an independent programme created and delivered by Harri Davies, based in Bristol, United Kingdom. These terms are between you and Harri Davies.

Questions about them: harri@bc1.co.uk.

What this website is

It describes the programme and invites you to register interest. It is information, not an offer capable of acceptance, and nothing on it forms a contract.

Details change. Dates, locations, session formats, who is involved and what is included may all be updated, and the version of this site you are reading now may not describe the programme by the time you take part.

Registering your interest

Sending the registration form starts a conversation. It does not reserve a place, guarantee a reply within any particular time, or oblige BC1 to make you an offer.

Places are selective and decisions are at Harri's discretion. No reason has to be given.

Please give accurate information. If a place is offered on the basis of something inaccurate or missing, that offer can be withdrawn.

If you are offered a place

You will receive a separate written agreement covering fees, payment terms, dates, what happens if you or BC1 cancel, and what is expected of you. Nothing is binding until that is agreed.

Fees are not published on this website, and no price shown or implied anywhere on it is an offer.

What BC1 provides — and what it does not promise

BC1 provides structure, accountability, specialist expertise, feedback and introductions where they can move a build forward. That is what is being offered.

What is not promised, and cannot be:

• that you will build a working product, launch, or find customers;
• that you will earn revenue, raise investment, or recover what you spend;
• that any particular introduction, person or opportunity will be available to you;
• any specific commercial or career outcome of any kind.

Nothing said by BC1, in a session or otherwise, is financial, investment, legal, tax or accounting advice. Decisions about your own venture are yours, and you should take proper professional advice where it matters.

Your work is yours

You keep everything you bring and everything you build. Taking part grants BC1 no ownership, licence or claim over your ideas, your intellectual property or your venture.

If BC1 would like to describe or show your work — on this website, in a talk, or anywhere else — it will ask you first, and you are free to say no.

The room

Sessions work because people are candid in them. What others share in the room is theirs: please do not repeat, publish or reuse another participant's material, plans or numbers without their agreement.

BC1 may ask everyone in a cohort to agree to something similar in writing.

Using this website

Please do not attempt to break, overload, probe or gain unauthorised access to the site, and do not use the registration form to send unlawful, abusive or misleading content.

The text, photographs, design and code of this website belong to Harri Davies or to the people credited, other than the typeface, which is used under the SIL Open Font License. The name Building a Company of 1, the abbreviation BC1 and the marks used here are Harri's. You may link to the site freely; please do not copy it wholesale or present its content as your own.

Liability

Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

Subject to that, BC1 is not liable for business losses — lost profit, lost revenue, lost opportunity, lost data or wasted expenditure — arising from use of this website or from information on it. The site is provided as it is, and while it is kept accurate, it is not warranted to be free of error or always available.

If you are offered a place, liability in connection with the programme itself is dealt with in that separate agreement.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated. The current version always sits on this page, and the date at the top changes when it does. Using the site after a change means accepting the version then published.

Governing law

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

If you are a consumer, this does not affect any rights you have under the law of the country where you live.
