Terms of use

This site, including the payment claim diagnostic, provides general, indicative guidance about UK construction payment disputes and processes. It is offered free of charge to help you understand where you may stand.

Nothing on this site is legal advice, and using it does not create a professional or contractual relationship between us. The diagnostic works only from the answers you give: it cannot see your contract or your paperwork, so its report is a starting point, not a conclusion. Before acting on anything significant, have your actual documents reviewed by a suitably qualified adviser.

No specific legal deadline or time limit stated anywhere on this site should be relied on as applying to your situation; time limits in construction disputes depend on your contract and the facts.

The site is provided as it is, without any guarantee that it will always be available or error-free, and to the extent the law allows, I accept no liability for decisions taken in reliance on the guidance it produces.

The content of this site, including the diagnostic and its reports, is for your personal use and may not be resold or passed off as advice from me.

If anything here needs clarifying, ask me through the Contact page.
