To enable Cura Compliance UK Limited to provide effective services, you agree to:
- Furnish us with accurate, complete, and up-to-date information about your organisation, its operations, and its regulatory compliance status

- Provide truthful responses to all questions and information requests
- Disclose any previous registration attempts, rejections, or enforcement actions taken against your organisation or key personnel
You acknowledge that any inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information you provide may result in unsuccessful registration outcomes and will not constitute grounds for a refund beyond the terms specified in Section 7.
3.2 Legal Compliance
While Cura Compliance UK Limited provides consultancy services to support your regulatory compliance, you remain solely responsible for ensuring your organisation complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and standards. Our services supplement but do not replace your own legal and compliance obligations.
You agree to:
- Review and verify the suitability and accuracy of any materials, documents, or advice provided by us before implementing them
- Ensure your organisation meets all statutory requirements for registration with the relevant regulatory body
- Implement all recommendations and advice provided by Cura Compliance in a timely and appropriate manner

To facilitate effective delivery of our services, you agree to:
- Cooperate fully with Cura Compliance UK Limited and its representatives
- Provide timely responses to enquiries, normally within 5 working days unless otherwise agreed
- Make relevant personnel available for interviews, meetings, or site visits as required
- Grant access to necessary documents, premises, and information
- Designate a primary point of contact within your organisation
Time is of the essence. Delays in providing information or responses may impact project timelines and the likelihood of successful registration.
3.4 Client Conduct
You agree to engage with Cura Compliance UK Limited and its staff in a professional and respectful manner at all times. The following conduct will not be tolerated and may result in immediate termination of the engagement without refund:
- Abusive, threatening, intimidating, or harassing behaviour towards our staff, whether in person, by telephone, in writing, or via any online platform
- Discriminatory conduct of any kind
- Malicious, defamatory, or false statements about Cura Compliance UK Limited, its directors, staff, or services, whether made publicly or privately
- Conduct that breaches any applicable law or regulation
We reserve the right to refuse service to any prospective client and to terminate any existing engagement where we reasonably believe that continuing the relationship would be detrimental to our staff, our business, or our reputation.
3.5 Non-Disparagement
You agree not to make, publish, or communicate any false, misleading, or disparaging statements about Cura Compliance UK Limited, its directors, employees, or services, including but not limited to:
- Posts or reviews on social media platforms (including Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google, or any similar platform)
- Statements to regulatory bodies, industry bodies, or third parties
- Communications to other clients or prospective clients of Cura Compliance
This obligation applies during the engagement and continues for a period of 24 months following termination. Nothing in this clause prevents you from making a genuine, factually accurate complaint through our formal complaints procedure (Section 12) or pursuing lawful dispute resolution under Section 10.
4. Confidentiality
4.1 Protection of Client Information
Cura Compliance UK Limited recognises the sensitive nature of information shared with us. We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality and security of all client information, including:
- Business plans and strategic documents
- Financial data and records
- Patient or service user information
- Personnel information
- Proprietary knowledge and trade secrets
- Internal policies, procedures, and compliance documentation
We agree to use client information solely for the purpose of providing the agreed services and to implement appropriate security measures to protect it from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure.
4.2 Exceptions to Confidentiality
We may disclose client information where required by law, regulation, or court order; to regulatory authorities for registration purposes (with your prior knowledge); to professional advisers under equivalent duties of confidentiality; with your express written consent; or where the information is already in the public domain through no fault of Cura Compliance.
4.3 Non-Disclosure Agreement
Upon request, Cura Compliance UK Limited will enter into a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with clients to further safeguard confidential information. The terms of any NDA will supersede these confidentiality provisions to the extent that they are inconsistent.
4.4 Data Protection and Privacy
Cura Compliance UK Limited complies with all applicable data protection laws, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. When processing personal data on behalf of clients, we act as a data processor and will enter into a separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA) as required by applicable law.
Clients remain responsible for obtaining necessary consents from data subjects, providing appropriate privacy notices, and maintaining records of processing activities.
5. Intellectual Property
5.1 Ownership of Deliverables
All deliverables prepared by Cura Compliance UK Limited, including reports, documents, white papers, templates, policies, and procedures, shall remain the exclusive property of Cura Compliance. We retain all intellectual property rights, including copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, moral rights, and database rights, in all deliverables whether in draft or final form.
5.2 Pre-Existing Intellectual Property
Any methodologies, frameworks, templates, tools, or know-how developed by Cura Compliance prior to or independently of any client engagement shall remain our sole property, even if incorporated into client deliverables.
5.3 Licence to Use Deliverables
Upon full payment of all agreed fees, Cura Compliance grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual licence to use the deliverables for your internal business purposes, including:
- Implementation within your organisation
- Submission to regulatory bodies for registration purposes
- Internal training and reference
- Demonstration to regulatory inspectors during inspections
Without our express written permission, you may not modify, distribute, sell, lease, reproduce for commercial purposes, or use the deliverables as a basis for providing services to third parties. Unauthorised use constitutes a material breach of these Terms.
5.4 Sharing with Third Parties
You are permitted to submit deliverables to regulatory authorities (CQC, Care Inspectorate, Ofsted) as part of your registration or inspection process without prior permission. For all other third-party sharing, you must obtain our prior written consent.
6. Payment and Fees
6.1 Service Fees and Quotations
Cura Compliance UK Limited will provide a detailed written quote before commencing any work. The quote will specify the scope of work, deliverables, timelines, associated costs, and the applicable payment structure.

6.2.3 CQC and Ofsted New Registration Staged Payment
Applicable to: CQC and Ofsted new registration services.
- 50% deposit is due and payable upon commencement of services

- Once the 50% final payment has been made and interview preparation has commenced, this payment is non-refundable, as the outcome of the interview is considered to be within the client’s responsibility

6.2.4 Tender Services Payment
Applicable to: Tender writing and bid services.
- 50% deposit is due and payable upon commencement of services

6.5 Taxes
All fees are exclusive of VAT unless otherwise stated. VAT will be added at the prevailing rate where applicable.
7. Refund Policy
7.1 14-Day Cooling-Off Period
A 14-day cooling-off period applies to all services, subject to the exceptions and conditions below. This period begins on the date payment is received by Cura Compliance UK Limited.
7.1.1 Upfront (100%) Payment
- Within 14 days of payment: A full 100% refund is available upon written request, provided that services have not been substantially delivered and no digital or virtual products have been provided
- After 14 days of payment: A refund of up to 50% of the total fee may be considered, subject to the conditions in Sections 7.2 to 7.6. No further refund beyond 50% will be provided after the 14-day period has expired
7.1.2 Staged Payment (50% Deposit / 50% Final)
- The 14-day cooling-off period applies separately to each payment as it is received
- Deposit (Payment 1): Within 14 days of the deposit being received, a full refund of the deposit is available upon written request, provided that work has not yet commenced or is in early stages only
- Final payment (Payment 2): Within 14 days of the final payment being received, a refund of that payment is available upon written request, subject to the conditions in Section 7.2 to 7.6. After 14 days, the final payment is non-refundable
7.1.3 CQC and Ofsted Staged Payment
- The 14-day cooling-off period applies to the 50% deposit in the same manner as Section 7.1.2
- The 50% final payment (due when the interview is scheduled) is subject to a 14-day cooling-off period from the date of payment. After 14 days, or once interview preparation has commenced (whichever is earlier), this payment is non-refundable
- The interview outcome is considered the responsibility of the client. An unsuccessful interview will not give rise to a refund of the final payment once the cooling-off period has expired
7.1.4 Tender Services
- The 14-day cooling-off period applies to the 50% deposit from the date of payment
- The final 50% is only payable upon success and therefore no refund situation arises for that payment
7.1.5 Exception: Digital and Virtual Products
The 14-day cooling-off period does not apply and no refund will be provided where digital or virtual products (including but not limited to electronic documents, templates, policies, or white papers) have been delivered to you within the 14-day period from payment. By receiving such products, you acknowledge that the cooling-off period has ended and agree to waive any right to a refund on that basis.
7.2 Service Commitment
Cura Compliance UK Limited is committed to providing high-quality consultancy and white paper services. While we strive to support successful registration outcomes, we cannot guarantee success due to factors beyond our control, including:
- The specific circumstances and operations of the client organisation
- The accuracy and completeness of information provided to us
- The client’s implementation of our recommendations
- Changes in regulatory requirements or standards
- The final decisions made by the regulatory authorities
- The readiness and suitability of the client’s service for registration
7.3 Refunds for Unsuccessful Outcomes – Standard Services
For standard consultancy and compliance services under the 50/50 staged payment structure (excluding CQC and Ofsted new registrations):
- Where a registration application is unsuccessful despite your full cooperation and compliance with our recommendations: we will retain the 50% deposit to cover services rendered, and the final 50% will not be invoiced or collected
- This protection applies only where you have provided accurate and complete information, implemented all recommendations in full, and cooperated throughout the engagement
7.4 Refunds for Unsuccessful Outcomes – CQC and Ofsted New Registrations
7.4.1 Standard Policy (Upfront Payment)
- Cura Compliance UK Limited will retain 75% of the total project fee for services rendered
- The client has two options: accept free re-submission support (Section 7.5), or receive a refund of 25% of the total fee
- If the client does not explicitly decline re-submission support in writing within 14 days of the unsuccessful decision, we will proceed with re-submission support and no refund will be due
7.4.2 Enhanced Refund for Proven Incompetence
Where it can be clearly proven that an unsuccessful outcome was directly caused by incompetence, negligence, or material errors by Cura Compliance UK Limited, a refund of up to 50% may be considered, subject to:
- A written request within 30 days of the unsuccessful decision
- Clear evidence demonstrating our negligence or material error
- Review and written approval by senior management
- The client explicitly declining free re-submission support
Examples of provable incompetence include submission of materially incorrect information, failure to include documentation provided by the client, or advice contrary to published regulatory guidance.
7.4.3 Exclusions from Enhanced Refund
Enhanced refunds will not be provided where the unsuccessful outcome resulted from:
- Inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information provided by the client
- The client’s failure to implement our recommendations fully or in a timely manner
- Changes in the client’s circumstances, premises, or personnel not disclosed to us
- Changes in regulatory policy or interpretation after submission

7.5 Free Re-Submission Support
All CQC and Ofsted new registration packages include free re-submission support, comprising:
- Review and analysis of the reasons for rejection
- Revision of application documents and supporting materials
- Re-submission of the application to the regulatory authority
- Ongoing support until successful registration is achieved
This support is subject to the client addressing all issues identified in the rejection notice, implementing all recommended corrective actions, and cooperating fully with the re-submission process. Each re-submission must be made within 6 months of the previous decision. Free re-submission does not cover applications where the client has fundamentally changed their service model, location, registered manager, or business structure.
7.6 General Refund Conditions
Refunds may also be available (outside the cooling-off period) where:
- Cura Compliance UK Limited fails to deliver the agreed services and does not remedy this within 14 days of written notice from the client
- Cura Compliance UK Limited provides services that are materially deficient and does not remedy this within 14 days of written notice
Refunds will not be provided where the unsuccessful outcome is due to:
- Inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information provided by the client
- The client’s failure to implement our recommendations
- Undisclosed changes in the client’s circumstances
- Decisions by regulatory authorities
- External factors, legal proceedings, or enforcement actions involving the client

To request a refund, you must:
- Submit a written request within 30 days of the completion of services, notification of an unsuccessful outcome, or the issue arising (whichever is earliest)
- Include a detailed explanation of the grounds for the refund, supporting documentation, and your invoice or payment reference
We will acknowledge receipt within 5 working days and respond with a decision within 14 days. If a refund is approved, it will be processed within 30 days using the same payment method as the original transaction.
7.8 90-Day Client Engagement Obligation
If you fail to respond to our reasonable attempts to contact you for a continuous period of 90 days (from the date of our last recorded attempt to contact you), Cura Compliance UK Limited reserves the right to close the engagement, cease all further work, and treat any refund entitlement (other than within an active 14-day cooling-off period) as permanently forfeited.
We will make at least three documented contact attempts via different methods (email, telephone, and post where applicable) before exercising this right. Written notice of our intention to close the engagement will be sent to your last known contact details before this right is exercised.
This provision applies after the expiry of any applicable 14-day cooling-off period. Where a cooling-off period is still active at the point of the 90-day closure, the client will still be entitled to the refund due under Section 7.1, provided the written refund request is received before the closure takes effect.

Regulatory compliance is an ongoing process that requires continuous effort and vigilance on the part of the client organisation.

9.2 Termination Due to Client Delays
Where service delivery is delayed due to matters within your control (including failure to respond to enquiries within 30 days, failure to provide required documentation, or non-payment), Cura Compliance UK Limited reserves the right to terminate the engagement if it extends beyond 12 months from the initial start date. Such termination will be communicated in writing with at least 14 days’ notice, and all outstanding fees for services rendered will become immediately due and payable. No refund of deposit or prepaid fees will be provided in such circumstances.
9.3 Termination for Material Breach
In the event of a material breach of these Terms, the non-breaching party may terminate the engagement by providing written notice of the breach and allowing 14 days for remedy. If the breach is not remedied within this period, termination takes effect immediately.
Material breaches by the client include non-payment for more than 60 days, provision of false or fraudulent information, breach of confidentiality obligations, unauthorised use of deliverables, abusive conduct towards our staff, and violation of the non-disparagement obligations in Section 3.5.

Confidentiality obligations, intellectual property rights, limitation of liability, governing law, and all payment obligations accrued before termination shall survive termination and remain in full force and effect.
10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days of the initial notice, either party may refer it to mediation conducted by a mediator agreed by the parties, or appointed by the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR). Each party shall bear its own costs, and the mediator’s fees shall be shared equally.
Step 3 – Litigation
If mediation does not resolve the dispute within 60 days of referral, either party may initiate legal proceedings in the courts of England and Wales, to whose exclusive jurisdiction the parties irrevocably submit.

Cura Compliance UK Limited operates within a regulated sector and has obligations to maintain its own professional integrity.
