Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of mannmethod.com and the content, materials and resources made available through the website.

The website is operated by:

Email: [email protected]

By using mannmethod.com, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to them, please do not use the website.

1. About Mann Method

Mann Method is an independent platform operating across:

• education;
• original mechanisms and technical research; and
• specialist project delivery.

Different parts of the website are intended for different audiences and purposes.

These Terms apply to use of the website generally. Specific products, services, downloads, software, mechanisms, courses or commercial engagements may be subject to additional terms or licences.

Where specific terms apply to particular material or services, those specific terms will take precedence in relation to that material or service.

2. Website use

You may use mannmethod.com for lawful personal, educational, research, professional or business purposes.

You must not use the website:

• unlawfully or fraudulently;
• to interfere with the operation or security of the website;
• to introduce viruses, malicious code or other harmful technology;
• to attempt unauthorised access to the website, servers or connected systems;
• to impersonate another person or organisation;
• to misrepresent your relationship with Mann Method or Mann Mechanics Ltd;
• to infringe the intellectual property, privacy or other rights of another person; or
• in any way that could reasonably damage Mann Method, its users or its infrastructure.

We may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect the website, our systems, other users or our legal rights.

3. Educational content

Mann Method publishes material intended to help people understand complex subjects, systems, technologies and ideas.

Educational content is provided for general information and educational purposes.

Although we aim to produce accurate and well-researched material, information can change and errors can occur.

We do not guarantee that every item of educational content will always be:

• complete;
• current;
• error-free; or
• suitable for a particular purpose.

You should independently verify information where a decision has significant financial, legal, technical, medical, regulatory or other consequences.

4. No professional advice

Unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing, material published through Mann Method does not constitute:

• financial advice;
• investment advice;
• legal advice;
• accounting advice;
• tax advice;
• medical advice;
• engineering certification;
• regulatory advice; or
• any other regulated or professional advisory service.

Nothing on the website creates a professional adviser-client relationship merely because you have viewed or used the material.

Where professional advice is required, you should obtain advice appropriate to your circumstances from a suitably qualified person.

5. Mechanisms, research and technical material

Mann Method may publish original mechanisms, research, software, specifications, models, documentation, demonstrations, source code or other technical material.

This material may be exploratory, experimental, research-oriented or intended to demonstrate a particular concept.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, publication does not mean that a mechanism or implementation:

• has been approved by a regulator;
• is suitable for deployment in a particular environment;
• is appropriate for safety-critical use;
• is suitable for any particular commercial application;
• will produce a particular economic, technical or operational result; or
• can be deployed without additional testing, validation, governance or professional assessment.

Anyone considering implementing technical material published by Mann Method is responsible for carrying out appropriate independent evaluation, testing and due diligence.

6. Separate licences for mechanisms and software

Some mechanisms, software, documentation or downloadable materials may be provided under a separate licence.

Where a separate licence accompanies particular material, your rights to use that material are governed by that licence.

Nothing in these general Terms of Use overrides rights expressly granted under a separate licence.

Similarly, making material publicly accessible does not by itself grant unlimited rights to reproduce, modify, commercialise or redistribute it.

You should refer to the licence accompanying the relevant material.

7. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the content and design of mannmethod.com are owned by or licensed to Mann Mechanics Ltd.

This may include:

• written content;
• graphics;
• illustrations;
• photographs;
• videos;
• audio;
• branding;
• logos;
• designs;
• course material;
• research;
• documentation;
• diagrams;
• software; and
• other original material.

Copyright, trade mark rights, patent rights and other intellectual property rights remain with their respective owners.

You may view and use website content for normal personal, educational or internal business purposes.

You must not reproduce, republish, sell, license, distribute or commercially exploit protected Mann Method material unless:

• applicable law permits it;
• a specific licence permits it; or
• you have obtained our permission.

8. Sharing and linking

You are welcome to link to publicly accessible pages on mannmethod.com, provided that you do so fairly and lawfully.

You must not:

• suggest that Mann Method endorses you, your organisation or your product where no such endorsement exists;
• present Mann Method content in a misleading context;
• remove attribution where attribution is required; or
• frame or reproduce substantial parts of the website in a way that suggests the content belongs to another organisation.

Educational material may occasionally include specific sharing or reuse permissions. Where these are provided, the stated permissions apply.

9. Mann Method branding

The names Mann Method, Mann Mechanics, associated logos and other brand identifiers may be protected by intellectual property rights.

You may not use our branding in a way that:

• suggests an official relationship that does not exist;
• implies endorsement or approval;
• creates confusion about the origin of products or services; or
• misrepresents material as being produced by Mann Method.

Normal editorial references to Mann Method are not prohibited.

10. Work and commercial enquiries

The Work section of mannmethod.com describes capabilities that may be available to organisations requiring project or delivery support.

Information on the website does not constitute a binding offer to provide services.

Submitting an enquiry, sending a specification, discussing a project or receiving preliminary information from us does not by itself create a contract.

Commercial work will normally be governed by a separate proposal, statement of work, contract, purchase order or other written agreement.

Where there is a conflict between these website Terms and a separately agreed commercial contract, the commercial contract will govern the relevant engagement.

11. Quotations, examples and previous work

Any examples of capabilities, previous work, approaches or potential project outcomes are provided for general illustration.

They do not guarantee that:

• identical services will be available for every project;
• a particular result will be achieved;
• every project will use the same methodology; or
• previous outcomes will be repeated.

The scope, cost, timing and deliverables of commercial work will be agreed separately.

12. Downloads and free resources

Mann Method may provide free resources, educational materials, documents, templates, software or other downloadable content.

These resources may be subject to:

• copyright restrictions;
• open-source licences;
• specific usage licences;
• attribution requirements; or
• additional terms stated alongside the download.

You are responsible for checking the terms accompanying a particular resource before redistributing, modifying or commercially using it.

13. Third-party websites and services

mannmethod.com may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, repositories, videos, publications or services.

These links may be provided because we consider the external material relevant or useful.

We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for:

• their availability;
• their content;
• their security;
• their privacy practices; or
• products or services they provide.

A link does not necessarily constitute endorsement.

You use third-party websites subject to their own terms and policies.

14. Website availability

We aim to keep mannmethod.com available and functioning correctly.

However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

Access may occasionally be interrupted because of:

• maintenance;
• technical problems;
• security issues;
• hosting or network failures;
• changes to the website; or
• circumstances outside our reasonable control.

We may modify, remove or discontinue website content or functionality where reasonably necessary.

15. Accuracy and updates

We take reasonable care when preparing material for Mann Method.

However, the website covers subjects that may evolve over time.

We may update, correct or remove content without notice.

The presence of an older article, video, technical document or other resource on the website does not necessarily mean that it represents our most current information or position.

Where dates or version numbers are provided, users should take them into account.

16. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts liability where doing so would be unlawful.

In particular, nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or restrict liability for:

• death or personal injury caused by negligence;
• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
• any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

Subject to those protections and to the extent permitted by law, Mann Mechanics Ltd is not responsible for loss arising solely from reliance on general informational, educational, research or technical content published on the website where the material has not been provided as part of a separately agreed professional or commercial service.

If you use mannmethod.com for business purposes, we will not, to the extent permitted by law, be liable for indirect or consequential business losses arising solely from use of the website, including loss of profit, revenue, opportunity or anticipated savings.

Nothing in these Terms affects any statutory rights that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

17. Consumer rights

If you are using Mann Method as a consumer, you may have statutory rights under UK consumer law.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to remove or reduce rights that the law requires us to provide.

Where Mann Method later offers paid courses, digital content, subscriptions or other consumer services, additional purchase terms may apply.

Those terms will be made available before the relevant purchase or subscription is completed.

18. Privacy and cookies

Our processing of personal information is explained in our Privacy Policy.

Our use of cookies and similar technologies is explained in our Cookie Policy.

These policies should be read alongside these Terms where relevant.

19. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect:

• changes to Mann Method;
• new services or website functionality;
• changes to our mechanisms or educational offering;
• changes in applicable law; or
• improvements to the clarity of these Terms.

The date at the top of this page identifies the latest version.

Your continued use of the website after revised Terms are published will mean that the revised Terms apply to subsequent use, subject to applicable law.

20. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.

21. No waiver

If we do not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not mean that we have waived our right to enforce it later.

22. Governing law

These Terms and your use of mannmethod.com are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

If you are acting in the course of a business, the courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction over disputes arising in connection with these Terms, subject to any separately agreed commercial contract.

If you are a consumer, you may also have rights under mandatory laws applicable where you live, and nothing in these Terms is intended to remove those rights.
