Welcome to the Nicholson Nairn Architects website.

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of this website and its content.

The website is operated by Nicholson Nairn Architects ("NN", "we", "us" or "our"), the trading name of Nicholson Nairn Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under company number [04771283].

By accessing or using this website, you agree to comply with these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with them, please discontinue your use of the website.

These terms apply to your use of the website only. They do not replace, amend or override any separate contractual agreement entered into between NN and its clients, consultants, contractors or other professional parties.

2. About This Website

This website provides information about Nicholson Nairn Architects, our people, services, design approach, completed projects and ongoing work.

Its purpose is to communicate our experience, capabilities and architectural work to prospective clients, collaborators and the wider public.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure the information presented is accurate and current. However, project details, specifications, descriptions, images and other website content may be updated or changed without notice.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the material published on this website is provided for general information and illustrative purposes only.

3. Intellectual Property Rights

Unless otherwise indicated, all intellectual property rights in the original content, design and presentation of this website are owned by, or licensed to, Nicholson Nairn Architects.

This includes, without limitation:

• Architectural designs, concepts, drawings, plans, illustrations and technical documentation.

• Computer-generated imagery (CGI), architectural visualisations, animations and digital models.

• Photography, videos and other visual material.

• Written content, project descriptions and editorial material.

• Logos, branding, graphic elements and visual identity.

• Website layouts, graphics, animations and original interactive elements.
   

All such material is protected by applicable copyright, design rights, trade mark rights and other intellectual property laws.

The publication of architectural work on this website does not grant any licence or permission to reproduce, adapt, construct from or otherwise exploit that work.

Except where permitted by law, you must not copy, reproduce, distribute, republish, modify, commercially exploit or create derivative works from website content without the prior written permission of the relevant rights holder.

You may access and view the website for lawful personal or internal business reference. You may also share links to publicly accessible pages, provided such sharing does not misrepresent the content or suggest endorsement by NN.

Any permission granted to use specific material may be subject to additional conditions, including appropriate attribution and restrictions on the context of its use.

Where content is owned by third parties, including photographers, clients, consultants or visualisation specialists, permission may also be required from those rights holders.

4. Architectural Designs, Drawings and Project Information

Architectural drawings, floor plans, elevations, diagrams, visualisations and other project information presented on this website are intended to demonstrate NN's design work and professional experience.

Unless specifically identified otherwise, these materials should not be treated as construction information, approved planning documentation, technical specifications or instructions for carrying out building works.

In particular:

• Drawings and images may have been adapted, cropped, simplified or reformatted for digital presentation.

• Architectural visualisations may include illustrative materials, landscaping, lighting, furnishings or contextual features.

• Project proposals may evolve during planning, technical design, procurement and construction.

• Completed projects may differ from earlier visualisations or proposals.

• Information may not represent current statutory requirements, technical standards or site-specific conditions.

• Dimensions, areas, specifications and other technical details should not be relied upon without independent verification.
   

No architectural design, drawing or technical information presented on this website should be used for construction, procurement, regulatory approval or professional decision-making without obtaining the appropriate project-specific documentation and advice.

Nothing on this website constitutes a representation that a particular design is suitable for another site, building or purpose.

5. Professional Advice and Services

The information available on this website is provided for general information and does not constitute professional architectural, technical, engineering, planning, legal or other specialist advice.

You should not rely solely on website content when making decisions concerning property acquisition, development, planning applications, design, construction or statutory compliance.

Professional architectural services are provided only following an appropriate appointment or other agreement establishing the relevant scope of services, responsibilities and applicable terms.

Making an enquiry, submitting information through the website or communicating with NN does not, by itself, establish a professional appointment, advisory relationship or contractual obligation to provide services.

Any services subsequently agreed will be governed by their own appointment terms, which will take precedence over these Terms of Use in relation to those services.

6. Accuracy and Availability of Information

We take reasonable care in preparing and maintaining the information displayed on the website.

However, we do not guarantee that all content will be complete, accurate, current or free from errors at all times.

References to project locations, areas, programmes, design stages, construction methods, materials, collaborators and project outcomes reflect information available when the relevant content was prepared.

Such information may subsequently change.

We reserve the right to correct errors, update information, modify website content or remove material where reasonably necessary.

We may also suspend access to some or all of the website for maintenance, security or technical reasons.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to the website.

7. Permitted Use of the Website

You may use this website for lawful purposes consistent with its intended function.

You must not:

• Use the website in any way that breaches applicable laws or regulations.

• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its servers, databases or associated systems.

• Introduce viruses, malware, malicious scripts or other harmful material.

• Interfere with the website's functionality, performance, security or availability.

• Use automated systems to extract substantial amounts of content or data without authorisation, except where permitted by law.

• Reproduce or systematically collect drawings, images, written material or other protected content for unauthorised commercial use.

• Misrepresent NN's involvement in, approval of or endorsement of any project, product or service.

• Use website material in a misleading, defamatory or otherwise unlawful manner.

• Remove or alter copyright notices, credits or other proprietary information.
   

These restrictions do not prevent activities expressly permitted by applicable law.

We reserve the right to take appropriate action where we reasonably believe the website is being used unlawfully or in a manner that threatens its security or operation.

8. Photography, Visualisations and Third-Party Content

The website may feature photography, illustrations, visualisations, drawings and other material produced by NN or external contributors.

Ownership and licensing arrangements may vary between projects.
Publication on the website does not imply that all featured material is available for unrestricted reuse.

Some images may be protected by copyright belonging to photographers, visualisation artists, consultants, clients or other third parties.

Where relevant, appropriate copyright notices or credits may be displayed alongside the material.

If you wish to reproduce or publish content from the website, please contact NN to establish whether permission can be granted and whether additional third-party approval is required.

We make reasonable efforts to respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe material published on this website infringes your rights, please contact us with sufficient details to enable us to investigate the matter.

9. Client and Project Confidentiality

We recognise the importance of confidentiality in architectural practice.

Information relating to projects is published where we understand that publication is appropriate and consistent with our relevant contractual and confidentiality obligations.

The appearance of a project on this website does not imply that all associated designs, documentation or project information are available for public distribution.

Certain details may be omitted, generalised or presented selectively to respect commercial confidentiality, client privacy or project sensitivities.

Website visitors must not assume that additional project documentation may be obtained, reproduced or disclosed without authorisation.

10. Contact Forms and Communications

Where the website provides contact forms, email addresses or other communication facilities, you agree to provide information that is accurate, lawful and relevant to your enquiry.

You must not submit malicious, fraudulent, defamatory or otherwise unlawful material.

We will endeavour to respond to legitimate enquiries within a reasonable period, although we do not guarantee a response to every submission or within any particular timeframe.

Submitting an enquiry does not oblige NN to accept a commission, provide advice, enter into negotiations or establish a professional relationship.

Please do not submit highly confidential, commercially sensitive or security-sensitive material through general website contact facilities without first agreeing an appropriate method of communication with us.

Any personal information submitted through the website will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

11. External Links and Third-Party Websites

This website may contain links to external websites, services, publications, social media platforms or third-party resources.

These links are provided for convenience and information.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, NN does not control or endorse the content, security, availability or privacy practices of external websites.

We are not responsible for the content or operation of third-party websites, or for losses arising from their use where such responsibility does not arise under applicable law.

You should review the relevant terms and privacy policies before using external services.
We may remove or update external links where appropriate.

12. Linking to Our Website

You may link to publicly available pages of this website, provided that the link is lawful, fair and does not damage or take unfair advantage of NN's reputation.

You must not:

• Suggest an association, partnership, approval or endorsement by NN where none exists.

• Present NN's content as though it originated from another person or organisation.

• Frame or embed substantial website content in a way that misrepresents its origin or ownership.

• Use NN's name, branding or logo in a misleading or unauthorised commercial context.
   

We may request the removal or alteration of links that breach these conditions or otherwise infringe our rights.

13. Website Security

We take reasonable measures to maintain the security and integrity of the website.

Nevertheless, no publicly accessible website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users are responsible for maintaining appropriate security precautions when accessing the internet, including keeping devices, browsers and security software reasonably up to date.

You must not attempt to circumvent the website's security measures or intentionally disrupt its operation.

Any suspected security vulnerability should be reported responsibly to NN rather than exploited or publicly disclosed in a manner that could expose the website or its users to harm.

14. Privacy and Cookies

Your privacy is important to us.

Our collection and processing of personal information are explained in our separate Privacy Policy.

Our use of cookies and similar technologies is explained in our Cookie Policy, including information about available consent choices and preferences.

Where consent is required under applicable law, non-essential cookies or similar technologies will be used only in accordance with the applicable consent requirements.

Please refer to these policies for further information.

15. Liability

Nothing in these Terms of Use excludes or restricts any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Nothing in these terms affects any statutory rights or remedies available to you under applicable law.

The website is intended to provide general information about NN and its work. It is not a substitute for project-specific professional advice or agreed architectural services.

We are not responsible for decisions made in reliance on website material where it would be unreasonable to treat that material as professional advice, approved technical documentation or an agreed specification.

We do not accept responsibility for losses resulting solely from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including certain third-party network failures or malicious interference, except where liability arises under applicable law.

Where you use the website for business purposes, and subject to applicable law, NN will not be liable for indirect or consequential commercial losses, including loss of profits, business opportunities or anticipated savings, arising solely from use of this informational website.

Nothing in this section limits NN's liability under any separate professional appointment, consultancy agreement or other contract. Such liability will be governed by the applicable contractual terms and law.

16. Changes to the Website and These Terms

We may amend these Terms of Use from time to time to reflect changes in the website, our operations, applicable law or relevant regulatory requirements.

The latest version will be made available on this page together with its date of revision.
Changes will apply to use of the website following their publication, subject to applicable law.

Any amendments to these Terms of Use will not automatically modify existing professional appointments or other separately agreed contracts.

We encourage visitors to review this page periodically.

17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Subject to any mandatory rights available to consumers under applicable law, disputes arising in connection with these Terms of Use will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you retain any applicable rights to bring proceedings in the courts of your home jurisdiction.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

Any affected provision will be treated as ineffective only to the extent necessary, without invalidating the remainder of these terms.
