Terms of Service

1. Purpose of IT Club

IT Club exists to provide independent, educational information about business technology including Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, Microsoft 365, Cyber Essentials, Backup & Recovery and related topics.

The content is designed to help business owners and technology decision-makers better understand technology.

IT Club is an educational platform and not an IT support service.

2. General Guidance Only

All information published on IT Club is provided for general educational purposes only.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure accuracy, the information should not be considered:

• Professional IT advice
• Legal advice
• Financial advice
• Cyber security certification advice
• Regulatory advice
• Business continuity advice specific to your organisation

Every organisation is different.

The information published on IT Club should not be relied upon as the sole basis for business-critical decisions.

3. AI-Powered Advisor

The IT Club Advisor uses Artificial Intelligence to provide helpful guidance and educational information.

AI-generated responses:

• may contain inaccuracies
• may become outdated
• may not reflect your specific circumstances
• should always be independently verified before implementation

The IT Club Advisor is not a replacement for qualified professional advice.

4. Fair Use Policy

IT Club provides free educational resources and access to the IT Club Advisor to help businesses make better technology decisions.

To keep the service useful, safe and available for everyone, users must use the website, The IT Club Briefing and IT Club Advisor fairly and reasonably.

You must not:

• use the IT Club Advisor as a replacement for professional consultancy, ongoing technology management or emergency technical assistance
• submit excessive, automated, repetitive or abusive requests
• attempt to overload, scrape, copy or reverse-engineer the website or AI systems
• submit confidential, sensitive, personal or regulated information unless specifically requested
• rely on AI-generated responses as the sole basis for business-critical, legal, financial, security or operational decisions
• use the service for unlawful, harmful, misleading or abusive purposes
• present IT Club responses as formal professional advice without written agreement

IT Club may limit, suspend or block access where usage appears excessive, abusive, unsafe or inconsistent with these terms.

In particular, IT Club may decline, limit or redirect requests that require detailed consultancy, emergency support, large technical reviews, legal advice or extensive investigation.

Free access is provided at our discretion and may be changed, limited or withdrawn at any time.

For organisation-specific advice, implementation support, Cyber Essentials readiness, cyber security reviews, Microsoft 365 configuration, backup strategy or business-critical decisions, users should obtain a formal professional assessment.

5. No Professional Relationship

Using this website, subscribing to the newsletter, following The IT Club Briefing or using the IT Club Advisor does not create:

• a consultancy agreement
• an ongoing technology management agreement
• a technical support contract
• a client relationship

No professional relationship exists until a separate written agreement has been entered into.

6. High-Risk Decisions

Before implementing significant changes to your business systems you should seek appropriate professional advice.

Examples include:

• Cyber Security implementation
• Microsoft 365 configuration
• Data migration
• Backup strategy
• Disaster Recovery
• Cyber Essentials certification
• AI deployment
• Regulatory compliance

IT Club cannot accept responsibility for losses arising from decisions made solely using information published on this website.

7. Accuracy

Technology changes rapidly.

Although we aim to keep information current, we cannot guarantee that all content remains complete, accurate or up to date.
