As a growing community of local businesses, we aim to offer both professional support and personal connections. By engaging with our platform, you’re joining a network built on trust, collaboration, and mutual growth. In addition to these terms, you may be subject to other agreements depending on your relationship with us or the services you use. If any provisions from those agreements conflict with these terms, the terms of those additional contracts will take precedence.
2. Binding Agreement
By registering with, accessing, or using our website, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. Visiting our site implies you understand and accept these terms. In some cases, we may ask for your explicit consent, but your continued use of the website means you’re on board with how we operate and connect as a community.
3. Intellectual Property
Cotswolds Business Connect, along with its licensors, retains full ownership of all intellectual property rights associated with our website, including all content and materials within it.
3.1 All Rights Reserved
Unless stated otherwise, you are not granted a license to use or distribute any content from our site without written permission from us.

4. Third-Party Content
Our website may include links to external websites. Cotswolds Business Connect does not monitor or control these third-party sites, and any products or services they offer are subject to their own terms and conditions. Our network thrives on collaboration, but please note that opinions or materials on external sites do not necessarily represent the views of Cotswolds Business Connect.
We are not responsible for any content or privacy practices of third-party sites. Please approach those websites with caution, as any data shared with external parties is at your own risk.

6. Idea Submission
We’re always excited to hear new ideas and collaborate within our community. However, please don’t submit your intellectual property or ideas unless we’ve first entered into a formal agreement, such as a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). If you share your ideas with us without such an agreement, you’re granting Cotswolds Business Connect the right to use, reproduce, and distribute your content globally, royalty-free, and without restriction.

Should we suspend or remove access due to policy violations, we’ll be clear about our reasons and work with you to address any issues.
8. Warranties and Liability
We strive to provide a reliable and accurate platform, but our website and all its content are offered “as is” and “as available.” While we do our best to provide accurate information, we make no warranties that the website will always be error-free or available.
