Website terms
Terms for using this website.
These are website-use terms. A paid engagement requires a firm written quote or equivalent agreed scope and the applicable service terms.
Operator
This website is operated by Alan W Gallagher trading as House of Carol, Bristol, United Kingdom. “Products & Services” is a descriptive customer-facing part of House of Carol and is not a separate legal entity.
Preview status
This version is a contained, noindex development preview. It does not represent an open invitation to purchase, and no transaction is created merely by viewing the site.
Services
The site describes bounded business services including Tender Review, Website Quality Review, Document to Data, Research & Decision Brief, Workflow & Process Review, Release QA and Sourcing & Options Scan. Each service page states important boundaries, but the exact engagement is governed by the accepted written scope.
Prices and the website calculator
Prices and ranges displayed on this development preview are current commercial design rates. The website calculator is a scoping aid and not a contractual quotation. It runs in the browser and does not by itself send the selections to House of Carol. A firm written quote confirms the precise scope, deliverables, exclusions, timing and price before work begins. Where the selected scope is variable or materially unusual, the site may state that a firm quote is required rather than inventing a precise figure.
A tight deadline requires a timing and capacity check. The website calculator does not assume an automatic urgency surcharge.
Website information
We aim to keep the website clear and accurate, but general website material is not a substitute for the exact scope, assumptions, exclusions and commercial terms agreed for a particular engagement. Time-sensitive information may change.
Professional boundaries
House of Carol services do not become legal, financial, medical, regulated procurement, formal security-testing or other regulated professional advice merely because a customer problem touches those subjects. Where specialist status is required, the relevant service scope must say so or the engagement should not proceed.
Tender Review
Tender Review is an independent commercial review of a substantially complete submission within an agreed evidence and scope boundary. It does not guarantee an award or score, provide legal advice, submit through a procurement portal on the customer's behalf, invent evidence or include unlimited bid-writing unless separately agreed.
Tools used in delivery
House of Carol may use software and appropriate digital tools in preparing or checking work. Those tools do not replace House of Carol's accountability for the agreed service. Customer information, confidentiality, permissions and any material tool-specific use remain subject to the engagement terms and applicable privacy and security controls.
Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, the website's original text, design and House identity are protected by applicable intellectual-property rights. Customer deliverable ownership or licence terms are governed by the relevant engagement terms, not by this page.
External links
Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience or provenance and do not imply control of those services. Their terms and privacy practices apply to their own sites.
Liability and outcomes
Nothing on this website should be read as a guarantee of a commercial, procurement, legal, regulatory, conversion, supplier or other outcome. Any liability position for paid work belongs in the service-specific contract and applicable law.
Changes
These terms may be updated when the website, service route or legal or commercial position changes. Production terms should describe the actual operating state.
