10. Security Services and Our Role (Important – We Provide a Platform, Not a Security Company)

THIS SECTION CLARIFIES THAT FINDMYSECURITY FACILITATES CONNECTIONS BUT IS NOT A PARTY TO CONTRACTS FOR SECURITY SERVICES

10.1 FindMySecurity is a neutral platform that enables Security Professionals and Clients (including businesses and security companies) to connect and form Security Engagements. Any resulting engagement or contract is strictly between the Users involved. We are not a party to those agreements and bear no liability for their performance. Employers are strongly recommended to carryout their personal checks for validity of documents, FindMySecurity in any respect is not responsible for originality of uploaded documents.

10.2 If you are a Security Professional, you agree and confirm that:

  • You hold and will maintain valid certifications, including your SIA licence (where applicable);
  • You have the skills, experience, and legal right to deliver the services you offer;
  • You will comply with all laws and regulations relevant to your work, including health & safety and data protection laws;
  • You have appropriate personal or professional insurance to cover your work.

10.3 All Users agree to treat one another respectfully, respond to reasonable communications promptly, and act with professionalism when using the Platform.

10.4 If you have a dispute or complaint about another User, you must contact us at support@findmysecurity.co.uk. We may choose to investigate, mediate, or take enforcement action, but are not obliged to intervene in disputes between Users unless legally required to do so.

11. Dealing with Other Users

THIS SECTION CONTAINS IMPORTANT WARNINGS ABOUT YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS AND WHAT TO DO IF THINGS GO WRONG

11.1 FindMySecurity operates as a neutral platform and does not verify, endorse, or monitor Users or their Content. You are solely responsible for assessing the suitability, legitimacy, or trustworthiness of other Users. Any interactions, agreements, or exchanges you undertake with other Users are at your own risk.

11.2 Even if we display badges, icons, or indicators suggesting verification (e.g., identity checks, SIA licence uploads, or document statuses), we do not guarantee that such documents or information are accurate, up to date, or suitable for your purpose. It is your responsibility to independently verify any User or documentation you rely on.

11.3 If you are a Security Professional, you must make your own informed decision about whether to work with a particular Client or Company and must ensure that you are suitably insured, qualified, and satisfied with the opportunity.

11.4 If you witness or experience any inappropriate behaviour, unlawful activity, abusive content, or security concerns while using the Platform, you must:

  1. immediately cease communication with the relevant User;
  2. contact us at support@findmysecurity.co.uk to raise the matter.

We also encourage you to contact local authorities if the issue involves potential harm, criminal conduct, or legal implications.

11.5 If you are a Security Professional, you acknowledge and agree that Clients and Companies may post public reviews or ratings about your services. These reviews remain accessible after your account is closed and may contain critical opinions. We do not moderate or verify reviews unless they clearly breach our terms or are unlawful.

12. Third-Party Services and Advertising

IN SHORT: WE AREN’T RESPONSIBLE FOR OTHER COMPANIES OR SERVICES YOU MAY SEE ON OUR PLATFORM

12.1 Our Platform may display advertisements, promotions, or links to third-party services (e.g. insurance providers, training bodies, payroll providers, or tender services). We do not control or endorse these services and are not liable for any outcome arising from their use. Use them at your own discretion.

13. Our Guidance

IN SHORT: ANY GENERAL GUIDANCE IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY

13.1 We may offer articles, videos, recommendations, or summaries on security training, regulation, compliance, or hiring. While we strive for accuracy, this information is general and does not replace professional advice. You must verify facts independently and rely on such guidance at your own risk.

14. Your Account

IN SHORT: YOU MUST KEEP YOUR ACCOUNT SECURE AND PERSONAL

14.1 Your FindMySecurity account is personal and non-transferable unless we approve corporate access in writing. You must not open multiple accounts or share access credentials.

14.2 You are responsible for keeping your login secure. If you suspect misuse or a security breach (e.g. compromised password), you must notify us immediately. You are liable for any unauthorised actions on your account unless caused by our proven negligence.

15. Payments and Subscription Terms

IN SHORT: WE CHARGE FOR CERTAIN FEATURES AND HAVE RULES ON BILLING

15.1 While some core services are available for free, enhanced features may require payment or subscription (e.g. premium listings, faster verification, or visibility boosts). Fees are payable upfront and specified on our Platform.

15.2 All prices include VAT unless stated otherwise.

15.3 If we mistakenly undercharge or overcharge, we may correct the pricing and offer you the choice to proceed at the revised amount or cancel without penalty.

15.4 Subscriptions may renew automatically for the same duration unless you cancel before the renewal date via your account settings. Cancellation does not trigger a refund unless your statutory rights apply.

15.5 We may update prices with at least 30 days’ notice. Continued use after that means you accept the new pricing.

15.6 If your premium membership is sponsored by an employer or partner and we stop receiving payment from them, we may downgrade your account to the free tier.

15.7 If you dispute a payment, contact us promptly with full details at support@findmysecurity.co.uk.

15.8 Unpaid amounts or unjustified chargebacks may incur interest in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. We reserve the right to pursue debt recovery or suspend access.

16. Discount Codes

THIS SECTION EXPLAINS HOW YOU CAN USE PROMOTIONAL CODES ON OUR PLATFORM

16.1 We may offer promotional or discount codes from time to time. These codes:

  • May only be used with the FindMySecurity account to which they were issued;

19. Functioning of the Service

IN SHORT: WE AIM TO BE RELIABLE BUT CAN'T GUARANTEE UPTIME
