1. About These Terms
These Terms of Website Use (“Terms”) govern your use of theaipractitioner.ai (the “website”). The website is operated by Groundframe Ltd (company number 09715227), registered office 49 Station Road, Polegate, East Sussex, BN26 6EA, United Kingdom, trading as The AI Practitioner (“AIP”, “we”, “us”, “our”).
Groundframe Ltd is the website operator and the contracting entity for anything you go on to buy from us. Tim Parkin is the Director of Groundframe Ltd and your point of contact; he is not personally the operator of this website and does not personally contract with you.
These Terms apply to browsing the website and its content. They do not govern paid engagements with AIP — workshops, one-to-one sessions, corporate training or consulting — which are instead governed by our Terms of Business (AIP-PS-005) and the Statement of Work or accepted proposal for that engagement.
2. Definitions
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| AIP | The AI Practitioner, the trading name of Groundframe Ltd (company number 09715227). |
| Website | theaipractitioner.ai and all pages, content and functionality made available on it. |
| User | Any person who accesses or uses the website. |
| Content | All text, graphics, logos, downloadable resources, and other material made available on the website. |
| Services | The paid AI fluency training and consulting engagements AIP provides, governed by the Terms of Business (AIP-PS-005), not by these Terms. |
| Feedback | Any comments, ideas, or suggestions you submit to AIP about the website, our Services, or our business generally, whether solicited or unsolicited. |
| Terms | This Terms of Website Use document, as updated from time to time. |
3. Acceptance
These Terms set the ground rules for using the website. By using it, you accept them. If you disagree with any part of them, please do not use the website.
We have kept the acceptance mechanism proportionate to what the website actually does. There is no account to create, no terms checkbox on the enquiry form, and no click-to-agree gate on any page, because nothing on this website commits you to anything. Sending us an enquiry is a message, not a contract.
A stronger form of acceptance applies at the point where a real commitment is made. When you book a session or enter an engagement with us, that is governed by our Terms of Business (AIP-PS-005) and the applicable Statement of Work, which set out how an engagement is accepted and what you are agreeing to. Nothing in these Terms is intended to bind you to those commercial terms simply because you visited this website.
4. Using This Website
You may view, browse, and print pages from this website for your own personal or internal business reference. You must not:
- Use the website in any way that is unlawful, fraudulent, or causes harm to AIP or others
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its servers, or any connected systems
- Use any automated system — bots, scrapers or similar — to extract data from the website without our prior written consent
- Systematically harvest website content, or use it to train, fine-tune or evaluate any artificial intelligence or machine learning model, or to build a derivative dataset, without our prior written consent
- Create a mirror site, or otherwise republish a substantial part of the website, without our prior written consent
- Probe, scan or test the security of the website, or attempt to circumvent any access or security control, other than through the responsible disclosure route in Section 8
- Reproduce, republish, or redistribute website content for commercial purposes without our prior written consent
- Introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful material to the website
About the AI-training restriction. The restrictions above, including the restriction on using our content to train or evaluate AI models, are contractual rights we reserve. They are a statement of what we permit, not a claim about what we technically prevent. We may deploy crawler directives or other technical controls, and we may change them at any time, but you should not infer from this section that any particular technical block is in place. The restriction applies whether or not it is technically enforced.
AIP reserves the right to grant a written licence or other commercial permission for any of the above on a case-by-case basis, at our discretion. Breach of this section may result in restriction, suspension, or termination of your access under Section 5, in addition to any other right or remedy available to AIP.
5. Restricting and Terminating Access
AIP may restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to the website, in whole or in part, at any time and without notice, where we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms or where your use of the website — including misuse, attempted unauthorised access, scraping or other automated extraction, or abusive or threatening conduct towards AIP or other users — poses a risk to the website, its users, or AIP’s business.
We may also take technical measures we consider reasonably necessary to protect the security, integrity and availability of the website, including blocking IP addresses, rate-limiting requests, or deploying bot-detection and similar protective technology. These measures may affect your ability to access the website even where you have not breached these Terms.
Restricting or terminating your access under this section does not affect any other right or remedy available to AIP, including under Section 8 or applicable law.
6. Intellectual Property
Website content falls into three categories:
- Groundframe Ltd-owned content — text, graphics, logos, the AIP brand and wordmark, and the underlying design and code, owned by or licensed to Groundframe Ltd and protected by UK and international intellectual property law.
- Licensed third-party content — material we display under licence from another rights holder, remaining that rights holder’s property.
- User-submitted content — material you submit to us, for example through a form or a testimonial.
You may not copy, reproduce, or use our branding, trademarks, or substantial content without our prior written permission. Where you submit content to us, you retain ownership of it; by submitting it you grant AIP only the limited licence needed to use it for the purpose you submitted it for — for example, publishing a testimonial you provided for that purpose. No ownership transfer occurs without a separate, express written agreement.
7. Feedback and Suggestions
If you submit Feedback to AIP through the website — for example via the contact form or by email — you agree that:
- AIP may use, adapt, and incorporate that Feedback freely, for any purpose, including to improve our website and Services, without any obligation to compensate you, credit you, or treat the Feedback as confidential; and
- You will not submit any Feedback that is confidential or proprietary, or that you are not willing to have used on this basis.
This section does not affect your ownership of, or any separate licence terms attached to, other content you submit to us under Section 6, such as a testimonial you provide for a stated purpose.
8. Security and Responsible Disclosure
If you believe you have found a security vulnerability on this website, please report it to us confidentially at info@theaipractitioner.ai before disclosing it publicly. We ask that you:
- Report in good faith, providing enough detail for us to reproduce and assess the issue
- Give us reasonable time to investigate and remediate before any public disclosure
- Do not access, modify, or exfiltrate data beyond what is necessary to demonstrate the issue
Where a report is made in good faith on that basis, and does not involve unlawful access to data or systems beyond what is necessary to demonstrate the vulnerability, we do not intend to pursue legal action against the researcher in connection with that report.
We want to be straight with you about the limits of that statement. AIP is a small business and this is not a funded programme. We do not operate a bug bounty and we do not offer payment. We cannot commit to a fixed acknowledgement or remediation timescale, though we will do our best to respond promptly. And we cannot grant immunity in respect of third parties — our hosting and infrastructure providers have their own terms, and this statement does not bind them or waive their rights. What we can say is that we will not treat a good-faith report as an attack.
9. Downloadable Resources
Where we make a resource available for download — for example a guide or template — we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use it for your own personal or internal business use.
You must not resell, redistribute, republish, or commercially incorporate a downloadable resource, or remove any AIP branding or attribution from it, without our prior written permission. Where a specific resource states its own licence terms, those terms prevail over this general clause for that resource.
10. No Professional Advice; Not a Client Engagement
Content on this website — including articles, guides, tips, resources, and general commentary on AI tools and practices — is provided for general information only. It is not professional, legal, financial, or technical advice tailored to your specific circumstances, does not constitute a recommendation to take or avoid any specific action, and should not be relied upon as such.
Browsing the website, downloading a resource, or contacting us through it does not create a client relationship, a professional engagement, or any duty of care between you and AIP. Advice and deliverables tailored to your circumstances are only provided as part of a paid engagement, which is governed exclusively by our Terms of Business (AIP-PS-005) and the Statement of Work or accepted proposal for that engagement — not by these Terms.
11. Rapidly Changing Artificial Intelligence Information
Artificial intelligence is developing daily. Content on this website reflects our understanding at the date of publication, and information that is accurate now may be materially different within six months — including the capabilities of specific models and platforms, applicable regulation and standards, and current security guidance and best practice.
You should verify the currency and suitability of any AI-related content on this website before relying on it.
12. Accuracy and Website Availability
We take reasonable care to keep the website accurate and up to date, but we make no warranty — express or implied — that the content is complete, accurate, or fit for any particular purpose.
The website is provided on an “as available” basis. We do not guarantee that it, or any part of it, will be available on an uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free basis. Access may be affected by factors outside our control, including internet connectivity, hosting or third-party infrastructure issues, and cyber-attacks.
We may, at any time and without notice: change website content or functionality; suspend, restrict, or withdraw access to all or part of the website, including for maintenance, security, or operational reasons; remove content that is obsolete; withdraw a downloadable resource; or introduce a new service or feature governed by its own separate terms. AIP is not obliged to preserve indefinite public access to any particular page, resource or feature, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss you incur as a result of reasonable unavailability of the website.
The website’s content, services and features are expected to evolve over time as our offering develops. These Terms apply to the website as it exists from time to time, not to a fixed snapshot of content or services described in any particular version of these Terms.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, AIP excludes liability for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website, or reliance on any content on it. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under English law.
Where you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for any matter which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under the law of your own country of residence. Where you are a UK consumer, nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or restrict any statutory right you have under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and browsing this website does not remove or reduce any right you have that cannot be excluded by agreement.
14. Links to Other Websites and Third-Party Services
The website links out to a small number of third-party services:
- Cal.com — our booking page, which is hosted on Cal.com’s own domain (currently its European environment, Cal.eu) and is linked from our site rather than embedded within it. Once you follow that link you are on Cal.com’s site, under Cal.com’s terms and privacy practices.
- LinkedIn — our professional profile, linked from the contact page.
Cloudflare, which hosts and protects the website, and Google Fonts, which serves the site’s typefaces, are website infrastructure rather than links you choose to follow. They are described in our Privacy Policy (AIP-PS-001) and Cookie Policy (AIP-PS-002).
We may also refer to third-party AI tools or services from time to time, for context. Links and references are informational and do not amount to an endorsement, and they may change over time. We are not responsible for the availability, security, content, or privacy practices of any linked or referenced third party. A reference to a tool does not guarantee it is suitable for your circumstances — carry out your own assessment before adopting any third-party tool. Visiting a linked site is at your own risk.
15. Privacy and Cookies
Our use of any personal data collected through this website is set out in our Privacy Policy (AIP-PS-001). Our use of cookies and similar technologies is set out in our Cookie Policy (AIP-PS-002). Both are published in full, alongside our other policies, at theaipractitioner.ai/policies.
A link to the Privacy Policy is shown alongside the contact form, so that you have that information at the point you decide whether to send us a message. No consent checkbox is used on the form: sending an ordinary enquiry does not rely on your consent as its lawful basis, and asking you to tick a box would misdescribe what is happening.
For completeness about what this website does not do: it has no user accounts, no shopping cart, no saved preferences, no embedded booking interface, no newsletter sign-up, no advertising or marketing tracking, and no cookie banner — because there is no consent-requiring storage or tracking to consent to. The Cookie Policy explains this in full.
16. Order of Precedence
These Terms govern your general use of and browsing on the website. Where these Terms overlap or conflict with one of AIP’s other published policies, the following order of precedence applies, to the extent of the overlap or conflict:
- For matters relating to a paid engagement, the Terms of Business (AIP-PS-005) and the applicable Statement of Work take precedence over these Terms.
- For matters relating to the collection, use, or handling of personal data, the Privacy Policy (AIP-PS-001) takes precedence over these Terms.
- For matters relating to cookies and similar technologies, the Cookie Policy (AIP-PS-002) takes precedence over these Terms.
- For all other matters concerning general use of and access to the website, these Terms apply.
Where a document does not address a particular point, the relevant provision of these Terms continues to apply alongside it.
17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the website will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
If you are a consumer habitually resident in a country other than England and Wales, nothing in this clause deprives you of the protection of any mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence that cannot be excluded by agreement, or removes your right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country where mandatory consumer-protection law entitles you to do so.
18. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the website or applicable law. The version number and status shown in the document control table above reflect the current version. Continued use of the website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
18.1 What Changed at Version 1.0
Version 1.0 is the outcome of the fifth and final review in this cycle, applying the v0.4 to v1.0 Update Notes of 31 August 2026. The substantive changes were:
- Groundframe Ltd identified throughout as website operator and contracting entity, with Tim Parkin as Director and contact rather than as the personal operator or controller. Company number corrected to 09715227.
- The unbuilt acceptance control removed. Section 3 is rewritten as proportionate acceptance wording, and the dependency between newsletter consent and these Terms is gone, since no newsletter exists.
- Third-party links stated accurately — Cal.com and LinkedIn — with Cloudflare and Google Fonts identified as infrastructure rather than links you choose to follow.
- Section 15 rewritten to link the Privacy and Cookie Policies directly, record the privacy link shown alongside the contact form, and confirm what the site does not do: no accounts, cart, saved preferences, embedded booking, marketing tracking or cookie banner.
- AI-crawler restrictions restated as reserved contractual rights, with an explicit statement that no particular technical block should be inferred.
- Responsible disclosure limited to what can be delivered — no bug bounty, no payment, no fixed response timescale, and no immunity binding third-party providers.
- Legal-review requirement removed and Director approval recorded.
This version is approved by Director approval. No external legal review has been carried out.
