Plain English wherever we can manage it. This is the agreement between you and us when you use the site or buy a course.

Who you are contracting with
Business Nous is operated by [TRADING ENTITY — company name, registered office address and company number to be confirmed]. You can reach us at andy@businessnous.com.
These terms apply when you use businessnous.com and when you buy anything from us. By creating an account or buying a course you accept them. If you don't accept them, please don't use the site.
We may update these terms — for example if we add a new product or the law changes. The version that applies to your purchase is the one published on the day you bought.
We sell online business training as digital content:
Some lessons and materials are free. Free material can be changed or withdrawn at any time.
Prices are shown in pounds sterling and include VAT where VAT applies. Payment is taken by Stripe; we never see or store your card details. Your access is granted once Stripe confirms the payment.
If a price is shown wrongly because of an obvious error, we may cancel the order and refund you in full rather than supply at the wrong price.
Because we sell digital content, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 apply:
To cancel, email andy@businessnous.com with the email address you bought under. Refunds go back to the card you paid with, normally within 14 days.
Your legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 always stand: the courses must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described. If something is faulty, broken or plainly not what we said it was, tell us and we will fix it, or refund you. Nothing in these terms removes those rights.
Outside that, we don't refund simply because you changed your mind after starting, or didn't get round to using it. If you're unhappy, email us anyway — we'd rather hear it.
Your account is personal to you. Keep your password to yourself and don't share your login. One account, one person. If we see an account being shared or resold we may suspend it.
You must be 18 or over to buy.
When you buy a course you get a personal, non-transferable licence to use the material to learn, and to apply what you learn in your own business. That's it.
You may not:
All content remains our property or that of our licensors.
A Business Nous certificate records that you completed our course. It is a certificate of completion. It is not a regulated qualification, it carries no formal accreditation and it does not confer professional status.
The courses are general business education. They are not accountancy, tax, legal, investment or financial advice, and no adviser–client relationship is created by using them. Your circumstances are your own — take proper professional advice before acting on anything that matters. We are not responsible for decisions you take in your business.
We aim to keep the site up and working, but we don't promise uninterrupted access. We may need to take it down for maintenance, and we may change or retire individual courses. If we withdraw a course you have bought outright and cannot give you access, we'll refund you a fair amount for it.
We don't exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that can't lawfully be excluded — including your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
Otherwise, we are not liable for business losses (loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity), and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.
You can close your account at any time by emailing us. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms — for example sharing logins or redistributing content — and in serious cases without a refund.
Email andy@businessnous.com and tell us what's wrong. We'll acknowledge within 5 working days and aim to resolve it within 20.
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland you may bring proceedings in your own courts.
How we handle your information is set out in our privacy notice and cookie notice.
