These Terms of Service govern the use of this website and the professional services supplied by OPJ INVESTMENTS LTD. They apply to visitors, clients, prospective clients and suppliers unless a separate written agreement signed by OPJ INVESTMENTS LTD states otherwise.
Please read these terms carefully before using this website or engaging the practice. By using this website you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the website and contact us if you wish to discuss a variation.
In these terms, the following words carry the meanings set out below unless the context clearly requires a different reading.
Headings are included for convenience and do not affect interpretation. References to a statute include any replacement or amendment of it. Words in the singular include the plural and the reverse also applies.
OPJ INVESTMENTS LTD is a technology investment practice and computer systems design business operating from Plymouth in the United Kingdom. The Company funds and delivers integrated computer systems programmes for organisations active in the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services sector.
The Company publishes this website to describe its investment approach, its engineering services and its contact arrangements. The website is informative in nature. It does not constitute an offer of investment, an invitation to invest, financial advice, or a binding quotation, and nothing on this website should be relied upon as a substitute for a written proposal issued by the Company.
The Company may act through named team members, appointed representatives or vetted delivery partners. Where a partner is used, the Company remains responsible to the Client for the performance of the engagement unless a written agreement states otherwise.
By accessing or using this website, you confirm that you accept these terms and that you agree to comply with them. If you use the website on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have authority to accept these terms on that organisation behalf.
If the Client enters into a signed proposal, statement of work or master services agreement with the Company, the terms of that signed document prevail over these terms to the extent of any conflict. Where no signed document exists, these terms apply to the engagement.
The Company may update these terms from time to time. The version published on this website at the time of your visit is the version that applies to that visit. For an ongoing engagement, the version in force at the start of the engagement continues to apply unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
The Company grants you a limited, non exclusive and revocable licence to access and use this website for lawful purposes connected with evaluating or engaging the Company services.
You must not misuse this website. In particular you must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the website or its underlying infrastructure, introduce malicious code, interfere with the availability of the service, scrape content at a volume that degrades performance, or use the website in a way that breaches applicable law.
The content of this website is provided for general information. While the Company takes care to keep it accurate, technical and commercial details may change and the Company does not warrant that every page is complete, current or free from error at all times.
The Company may suspend, withdraw or change any part of the website without notice where this is necessary for maintenance, security or operational reasons. The Company does not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the website.
OPJ INVESTMENTS LTD supplies six principal programmes of work. Each programme can be engaged on its own or combined into a wider transformation mandate.
The Company examines a technology asset, its commercial model, its operating estate and its supplier arrangements, and produces a written investment case. That case states assumptions, identifies risks, provides valuation ranges and recommends a staged funding schedule. Appraisal work is advisory in nature and does not itself commit the Company or the Client to any transaction.
The Company maps interfaces across a client estate, defines canonical data contracts, and implements middleware, event flows and reconciliation processes. Integration work is delivered against a documented interface specification, and the Client receives interface registers, cutover rehearsals and rollback plans as part of the engagement.
The Company designs and builds software where off the shelf products cannot meet the requirement. Development is delivered in short increments with testable output, and each component is handed over with automated tests, deployment scripts and operational documentation.
The Company designs landing zones, network boundaries and identity models, and migrates workloads to cloud platforms under an infrastructure as code approach. Resilience testing and cost governance form part of the standard cloud engagement.
The Company builds governed data pipelines, documented data definitions and reporting layers that reconcile to source systems. Deliverables include lineage documentation and a data quality scorecard.
The Company operates live platforms under an annual managed service agreement covering monitoring, patching, incident response, capacity planning and continuous improvement. Response targets, escalation paths and service reviews are set out in the agreement.
The Company performs its services with reasonable skill and care, applying the standards expected of a competent professional practice in the same sector. Unless stated in a statement of work, the Company does not provide legal, tax, audit or regulated financial advice.
The Company issues written proposals that describe the scope of work, the assumptions on which the price is based, the delivery timetable, the acceptance criteria and any client dependencies. A proposal becomes binding only when both parties sign it or when the Client confirms acceptance in writing and the Company acknowledges that acceptance.
A statement of work may be varied only by written agreement between the parties. Where a variation changes scope, timetable, risk or cost, the Company will issue an updated statement of work or a change note for approval before the additional work begins. The Company is not obliged to perform work outside an agreed scope until the variation is confirmed.
Estimates of effort, duration and cost are prepared in good faith on the basis of information available at the time. Where the underlying assumptions change materially, the parties will discuss an adjustment in accordance with the change control process.
Fees for services are set out in the applicable proposal or statement of work. Unless stated otherwise, fees are quoted in pounds sterling and are exclusive of value added tax and any other applicable taxes, which are added where the law requires it.
The Company issues invoices in accordance with the agreed schedule, which may be based on milestones, on fixed stages, or on time and materials. Invoices are payable within the period stated on the invoice and, where no period is stated, within thirty days of the invoice date.
Where an invoice remains unpaid after its due date, the Company may charge interest on the outstanding amount and may suspend work until the account is settled. The Company may also recover reasonable costs incurred in recovering an unpaid debt. Any dispute about an invoice must be raised promptly and in writing, and the undisputed portion remains payable on time.
Unless stated otherwise in a signed agreement, fees are non refundable once work has been performed. Where the Client cancels a programme after work has started, the Client remains liable for work completed and for commitments the Company has reasonably entered into on the Client behalf.
The Company depends on timely cooperation from the Client to deliver an engagement effectively. The Client agrees to provide accurate information, reasonable access to systems and personnel, and a named point of contact with authority to make decisions.
Where a delay is caused by the Client, the Company may adjust the timetable and charge for any additional cost reasonably incurred. The Company will notify the Client promptly when a dependency is at risk of causing delay.
Where the Company provides an investment appraisal, the appraisal represents the professional opinion of the Company based on the information available at the time. It is not a guarantee of future performance, and it is not a promise that funding will be approved.
Any decision to fund a programme rests with the Company acting through its authorised decision makers. Approval may be subject to conditions, including satisfactory due diligence, the completion of legal documentation, and the achievement of agreed milestones. The Company may decline to proceed with a programme for commercial, technical or regulatory reasons.
Where funding is released in tranches, each tranche is released against the milestone stated in the funding schedule. If a milestone is not met, the Company may withhold the next tranche, require a remediation plan, or terminate the programme in accordance with these terms. Any forecast, projection or model shared during an appraisal is an estimate and not a warranty of outcome.
Deliverables are supplied in accordance with the acceptance criteria stated in the statement of work. The Client is expected to review each deliverable within the review period stated in the document and to notify the Company in writing of any material non conformity with the agreed criteria.
If the Client does not provide feedback within the review period, the deliverable is treated as accepted. Where the Client identifies a material non conformity, the Company will correct it and resubmit the deliverable for review. Acceptance testing does not extend to defects caused by client modifications, third party components, or use of the deliverable outside its documented purpose.
Following acceptance, operational responsibility transfers in accordance with the agreed transition plan. Where the Company continues to operate the deliverable under a managed service agreement, the support arrangements in that agreement apply.
All intellectual property rights in this website, including its text, structure, design, styling and code, belong to OPJ INVESTMENTS LTD or are licensed to it. You may not reproduce, distribute or create derivative works from the website content without written permission, except for reasonable quotation with clear attribution.
In relation to an engagement, the position on intellectual property is set out in the applicable statement of work. In the absence of a specific provision, the following applies. The Client receives a perpetual, non exclusive licence to use the deliverables it has paid for, for its internal business purposes. The Company retains ownership of its pre existing materials, methods, tools, templates and know how, and may reuse general skills and knowledge acquired during an engagement.
Where a deliverable includes open source or third party components, those components remain subject to their own licence terms. The Company will identify material third party components in the handover documentation. The Client is responsible for complying with those licence terms once the deliverable is in its control.
Each party may receive confidential information from the other during an engagement. Confidential information means information that is marked confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential given the circumstances of disclosure.
Each party agrees to use confidential information only for the purpose of the engagement, to protect it with at least the same care it applies to its own confidential information, and to disclose it only to personnel and advisers who need it and who are bound by confidentiality obligations. These obligations survive the end of the engagement.
Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is already public, that becomes public without breach of these terms, that was lawfully known before disclosure, that is independently developed without reference to the disclosed information, or that must be disclosed by law or by a regulator. Where disclosure is required by law, the disclosing party will give the other party notice where it lawfully can.
Each party will comply with the data protection law that applies to it. Where the Company processes personal information on behalf of the Client, the Company acts as a processor and the Client acts as the controller. The parties will enter into a written data processing arrangement where the law requires one.
The Company will implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, will assist the Client in responding to data subject requests where reasonable, and will notify the Client without undue delay if it becomes aware of a personal data breach affecting the Client information.
The Company processes personal information relating to its own business, including client contacts and website visitors, in accordance with its Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy forms part of the broader transparency framework of the Company and should be read alongside these terms.
The Company warrants that it has the skill, experience and authority to supply the services, and that it will perform the services with reasonable skill and care in accordance with good industry practice.
To the extent permitted by law, the Company disclaims all other warranties, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non infringement. The Company does not warrant that any system will be free from defects, that it will operate without interruption, or that it will be immune from every security threat.
Third party products, cloud services and open source components are supplied subject to the warranties offered by their respective providers. The Company will pass through the benefit of any provider warranty where it is able to do so, but it does not extend or enlarge the provider warranty.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any warranty that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including in relation to fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that the law does not permit to be excluded.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Subject to the paragraph above, the following limits apply. The Company is not liable for loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of anticipated savings, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill, or for any indirect or consequential loss, whether arising in contract, in tort, in negligence or otherwise, even if the possibility of such loss was known to the Company.
The total aggregate liability of the Company arising out of or in connection with an engagement is limited to the total fees actually paid by the Client to the Company under the relevant statement of work during the twelve months preceding the event that gave rise to the claim.
Each provision of this clause operates separately. If any part of it is found to be unenforceable, the remaining parts continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The Client agrees to indemnify the Company against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from material or data supplied by the Client that the Client did not have the right to supply, from the Client use of a deliverable outside its documented purpose, or from any breach by the Client of these terms or of applicable law.
The Company agrees to indemnify the Client against claims that a deliverable, used as documented and within the scope of the engagement, infringes a third party intellectual property right in the United Kingdom, provided that the Client notifies the Company promptly and allows the Company to manage the defence of the claim.
Where an infringement claim arises, the Company may at its option procure the right for the Client to continue using the deliverable, replace or modify the deliverable so that it becomes non infringing, or refund the fees paid for the affected deliverable and terminate the licence to use it.
An engagement begins on the date stated in the statement of work and continues until the deliverables are accepted and the final invoice is paid, or until it is terminated in accordance with this clause. Managed service agreements run for the term stated in the agreement and renew only as expressly agreed.
Either party may terminate an engagement for material breach if the breach is not remedied within thirty days of written notice describing the breach. Either party may terminate immediately if the other becomes insolvent, enters administration or liquidation, or ceases to be able to perform its obligations.
Either party may terminate a managed service agreement for convenience by giving the notice period stated in that agreement. Where no notice period is stated, three months written notice applies.
On termination, the Client pays for all work performed and for all commitments reasonably incurred up to the effective date of termination. The Company will provide reasonable transition assistance, which may be chargeable where it exceeds the level described in the statement of work. Clauses concerning confidentiality, intellectual property, liability, indemnity and governing law survive termination.
Neither party is liable for a failure or delay in performance caused by an event beyond its reasonable control. Such events include natural disaster, severe weather, epidemic or pandemic, war, civil unrest, industrial action, failure of public infrastructure, widespread cyber attack, and the acts or omissions of a government or regulator.
The affected party must notify the other promptly and must take reasonable steps to limit the effect of the event. If the event continues for a prolonged period, either party may terminate the affected engagement by written notice, and the Client will pay for work performed up to the effective date of termination.
Where a force majeure event affects the Company ability to perform, the Company may redeploy resources and adjust the timetable in consultation with the Client, and any resulting change will be recorded in a revised statement of work.
This website may link to third party websites, and engagements may involve third party software, cloud services or datasets. Those materials are provided or made available subject to the terms of their respective owners and providers.
The Company does not control third party materials and is not responsible for their content, availability, security or performance. A link on this website does not imply endorsement of the destination, and the Company may remove a link at any time.
Where the Company recommends a third party product or service, the recommendation reflects the professional opinion of the Company at the time it is given. The Client remains responsible for its own procurement decision and for reading the terms that apply to any third party product it acquires.
These terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the law of England and Wales. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, subject to the paragraph below.
Before commencing proceedings, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute through discussion between senior representatives. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty days of written notice, the parties may refer the matter to mediation by a mediator agreed between them, with the costs of mediation shared equally.
Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or interim relief from a court where this is necessary to protect its rights or confidential information. A party that commences court proceedings without first attempting the process above will bear the other party reasonable costs of the early stage of the dispute.
If a court or competent authority finds any provision of these terms to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, or severed if modification is not possible, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force.
