    at any time, by paying the full amount of the Fee charged for the new Membership Level, in which case a new Membership at that new Membership Level will begin for a period of 12 months commencing on the date of the payment of that Fee.

4.5 Group memberships

No group Accounts are permitted without our prior written consent.

4.6 Activity under your Account and Membership

You are responsible for all use of the Website and the Services which occurs under or in connection with your Membership and/or Account and for any breach of these Terms which occurs as a result of such use whether an unacceptable use occurs or is attempted, whether you knew or should have known about it, whether or not you carried out or attempted the unacceptable use alone, contributed to it or acted with others or allowed any unacceptable use to occur by omission.

Where membership is redeemed against a Special Offer the conditions of that offer supersede the membership payment and contract terms set out in the above clauses. This applies to temporary, trial, reduced rate or limited term Special Offers. If a limited term membership is offered, then paragraph 5.5, "Your membership automatically renews", will not apply.

05

Fees and payment

5.1 Where to find the membership Fee

Information about the different Membership Levels and the associated Fee for each Membership Level can be found on your Confirmation.

5.2 Making payment

We accept payment via the Payment Providers and also directly from you, via bank transfer and credit card, as set out in more detail in your Confirmation, in cases where we issue you an invoice (an "Invoice"). In the absence of negligence on our part we will not be legally responsible to you for any loss that you may suffer if a third party gains unauthorised access to any information that you give us.

5.3 Fees are immediately payable

Any Fees are usually immediately payable online prior to the activation of your Membership, unless we notify you otherwise in writing.

We will charge interest at the rate of two per cent (2%) above the Bank of England base rate from time to time, calculated on a monthly basis, on any outstanding amount until payment is received by us in full.

5.4 Your agreement to pay the Fee and taxes

When you submit your Registration Form to us, you agree to pay the Fee for any and all Services you purchase from us, including for the avoidance of doubt your Membership. You acknowledge that you shall be responsible for paying any and all applicable taxes due and payable in any jurisdiction with respect to your Fee, including but not limited to VAT in the EU.

5.5 Your membership automatically renews

You acknowledge that your Membership, regardless of which Membership Level you have purchased, will automatically renew on an annual basis. You will be notified in advance of any such automatic renewal.

No Special Offer that applied to your Membership when you initially purchased it will continue or be carried forward without our prior written agreement.

5.6 Renewals constitute a separate order for Services

Any Membership renewal in accordance with paragraph 5.5 will constitute a separate order for Services and shall be treated as a separate binding legal contract between you and DTTT subject to these Terms.

5.7 Prices

The Fee and any other charges are payable in the currency stated on the Website and/or in your Confirmation. If no currency is specified, all fees are quoted in UK Pounds Sterling and shall exclude any and all applicable taxes in any relevant jurisdiction, including but not limited to VAT and/or GST.

5.8 Changes to the Fee

DTTT reserves the right to change its payment policy and the Fee charged for the Services from time to time, with such changes becoming effective immediately. However, any such changes will not affect existing Memberships until they are renewed in accordance with paragraph 5.5. If you wish to change or cancel your Membership due to changes we have made, please see section 8 below.

Any additional terms and conditions set out in the Workshop Confirmation shall also apply where relevant and shall be incorporated into these Terms as if set out in full here.

11.5 We reserve the right to make changes to Workshops

DTTT shall use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that any Workshops are undertaken by any named host or hosts and at the Venue and on the relevant dates and times as agreed, but where this is not possible DTTT reserves the right to alter the dates and times of Workshops and procure the services of suitable alternative hosts and Venues for Workshops, provided that we shall give the Members notice of any such changes as soon as is reasonably possible. Any such change shall not constitute a breach of contract and shall not give the Member the right to terminate.

11.6 Events

Our terms and conditions for events (found on each event registration page) shall apply to any and all Events and, where relevant, Workshops (the "Event Terms"). By attending an Event and/or a Workshop, you agree to be bound by the Event Terms. The Event Terms are incorporated into these Terms as if set out in full here.

Advisory engagements

12.1 What an advisory engagement is

An advisory engagement is work we carry out for a client organisation under an agreed scope, which may include strategy and research support, workshops, facilitation, reviews, diagnostics and written deliverables. Advisory work is separate from Membership. Holding a Membership does not include advisory work and an advisory engagement does not by itself grant Membership.

12.2 The engagement agreement takes precedence

Every advisory engagement is governed by a separate written engagement agreement, proposal or statement of work signed by both parties, which records the scope, the term, the commercial basis and any client-specific conditions. Where that agreement and these Terms differ, the engagement agreement prevails for the work it covers. These Terms continue to apply to your use of the Website and the Services.

12.3 How advisory time is drawn down

Where an engagement is structured as a pool of credits, the engagement agreement sets out the size of the pool, the activities that draw against it and the rate at which each activity is counted. We keep a record of the work carried out and the amount drawn down, which is available to the client on request and reported at agreed intervals.

12.4 Term and expiry

Credits are valid for the term stated in the engagement agreement and expire at the end of it. Unused credits do not carry forward into a new term and are not refundable, unless the engagement agreement says otherwise or we agree otherwise in writing.

12.5 Rescheduling and cancelling sessions

A scheduled session, workshop or delivery date may be moved by either party by giving reasonable notice in writing. Where a session is cancelled or moved at short notice, the preparation already carried out may be drawn down against the engagement. The notice periods that apply to a given engagement are set out in its engagement agreement.

12.6 Ownership of deliverables

On payment in full, the client owns the deliverables produced specifically for them under the engagement. We retain ownership of our own frameworks, methods, models, templates and pre-existing materials used to produce those deliverables and we grant the client a non-exclusive licence to use them internally as part of the deliverables. We may describe the engagement in general terms in our own work and may only name the client or publish its outcomes with the client's prior written consent.

12.7 Confidentiality

Each party shall keep confidential the non-public information it receives from the other during an engagement and shall use it only for the purposes of that engagement. This obligation does not apply to information that is already public, that is received lawfully from a third party or that must be disclosed by law. Personal data shared during an engagement is handled in accordance with our privacy policy.

Collection of information

13.1 Verification and checks

We may verify your residential address and other personal details which you provide to us when you register to use the Website and the Services. All personal information provided by you to us is handled by us in accordance with our privacy policy.

13.2 You authorise us to make inquiries about you

By accepting these Terms and using the Website and the Services, you authorise us to make any inquiries which we may consider necessary to validate the information which you provide to us. This may be done directly, for example by us asking you for additional information or requiring you to take steps to confirm ownership of your email address, or indirectly, for example by verifying your information against third party databases or through other sources.

13.3 How we may use your personal information

We will only use your personal information in accordance with our privacy policy.

14

Our responsibility for loss or damage

14.1 Whether you are a Consumer or a Business User

We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors and for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

14.2 If you are a Business User

We exclude all implied conditions, warranties, representations or other terms that may apply to the Website or any content on it and to the Services. We will not be liable to you for any loss or damage, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, even if foreseeable, arising under or in connection with:

14.3 If you are a Consumer, our liability

You agree not to use our site for any commercial or business purposes and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

14.4 If you are a Consumer, we are responsible for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us

If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

14.5 If you are a Consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected

These Terms are not intended to and do not change or exclude any statutory consumer rights that cannot be lawfully changed or excluded.

14.6 Misuse of the site

DTTT shall not be responsible or liable in any way for any damage caused by any misuse of the Website and/or the Services by you or any third party, or caused by any service.

14.7 Errors, viruses and interruptions

We do not warrant that the Website and the Services will be uninterrupted, error free, or free from service degradation, or that any information, software, or other material accessible on the Website or the Services are free from viruses, worms, trojan horses, or other code that manifests contaminating, interfering, or destructive properties. We cannot and do not guarantee the security or integrity of data transmission or storage, or that viruses, worms, trojan horses, or other code that manifests contaminating or destructive properties will be detected or remediated by the Website or the Services. Using the internet is at your own risk. We will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by a distributed denial-of-service attack, viruses or other technologically harmful material that may infect your computer equipment, computer programs, data or other proprietary material due to your use of the Website and/or the Services or to your downloading of any content from the Website, or on any website linked to it.

14.8 We are not liable for your use of information

Under no circumstances will DTTT be liable for direct, indirect or consequential losses resulting from your use of any information, commentary, advice or other content, including for the avoidance of doubt the Materials and the User Content, on the Website irrespective of who the contributor is.

14.9 Security

You acknowledge and accept that we cannot guarantee the security of the Website and/or the Services against unlawful access or use. You should make sure that you have adequate security to prevent unlawful access to or use of the Website and the Services, access to your computing equipment or disclosure of your confidential information.

14.10 Events beyond our control

We do not, in any event, accept responsibility for any failure to make the Website available and to provide the Services as a result of circumstances or events which could reasonably be considered as unforeseen or outside our control, including but not limited to strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes, breakdown of systems or network access, or flood, fire, explosion or accident, or as a result of our obligations under any applicable laws, rules or regulations.

14.11 Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and keep indemnified on demand, defend and hold harmless DTTT and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees, from and against any claim, demand, liability, cost, damage or loss it or they may incur, including reasonable legal fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of these Terms, your use of the Materials and/or the Website and/or the Services, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

15.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation.

You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.

15.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract

This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of these Terms.

15.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force

Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

15.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later

If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.

15.6 Which laws apply and where you may bring proceedings

These Terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Terms in the English courts.

Version history

2.0 · 8 September 2026

Restructured into fifteen numbered sections with a contents list, a plain-English summary and a stable anchor on every clause. Headings moved to sentence case.

Section 7 was split. Suspension and termination by us is now section 7 and cancellation and refunds by you is section 8. Advisory engagements are covered for the first time, in section 12.

Drafting errors in the previous version were corrected: the availability clause, which repeated the payment clause word for word, has been rewritten; unclosed brackets and missing words were fixed; the duplicated definition of Materials was removed; cross-references were repointed to the renumbered sections; the members' licence in clause 10.3 no longer grants and withdraws the same permission; and the VAT number now matches our VAT certificate.

1.0 · date unknown

First published. No revision date was recorded on the page and no log was kept, which is part of why this version starts one.
