Terms and Conditions

Bellweather Reports

Last updated: 9 August 2026

These terms are in two parts. Part A governs use of this website. Part B governs the supply of research and reporting services. If you engage us, both parts apply.

Part A — Website terms of use

1. Who we are

This website is operated by Bellweather Reports, of 27 Albemarle Street, Mayfair, London W1S 4JL, United Kingdom. In these terms, "Bellweather Reports", "we", "us" and "our" mean that business.

You can contact us at hello@bellweatherreports.com, by telephone on +44 7860 294096, or by post at the address above. Correspondence is handled by Lesley Canis, Chief Executive.

2. Acceptance

By using this website you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the site.

3. What this website is for

This website describes our services and allows you to request a report. It is intended for business users. It is not intended for consumers, and it is not intended for anyone under 18.

4. Nothing here is advice

The content of this website, including any sample report, is provided for general information. It is not legal, regulatory, medical, financial, investment, tax or professional advice, and it must not be relied on as any of those. Take your own professional advice before acting.

5. Sample reports

Any sample report published on this website is illustrative. Where it discusses a market or named organisations, it reflects information available from public sources at the time it was prepared and our honest opinion of what that information shows. It is not updated, and it should not be treated as a current statement about any organisation named in it.

6. Submitting a request

When you submit a request through this website you must give accurate information and you must be authorised to submit it on behalf of the organisation named. A request is an enquiry. It does not create a contract and does not oblige us to accept the work. We may decline any request without giving a reason.

7. Intellectual property

All content on this website — text, layout, graphics, report design, methodology and the name Bellweather Reports — belongs to us or is used under licence. You may read it and print or download extracts for your own internal reference. You may not republish it, sell it, or use it commercially without our written permission.

8. Availability

We do not promise the website will be available uninterrupted or error-free. We may suspend, withdraw or change all or part of it without notice.

9. Links

Our website and reports contain links to third-party sources. We link to them as evidence of what those pages said when we read them. We do not control them, we do not endorse them, and we are not responsible for their content.

10. Your data

Our Privacy Policy explains what we do with personal information collected through this website. It forms part of these terms.

Part B — Terms of service

11. Application

Part B applies to every report, refresh and related service we supply. It applies to the exclusion of any terms you seek to impose, including any purchase order or supplier terms, unless we agree otherwise in writing and signed by us.

We contract with businesses only. By engaging us you confirm you are acting in the course of a business and not as a consumer.

12. How a contract forms

You submit a request. We may then send a written proposal setting out the scope, the fee and the delivery window. A contract forms only when we confirm your acceptance of that proposal in writing. Anything said in conversation before that point is not binding.

13. What we do

We research a defined market or competitor set using publicly available sources and deliver a written report analysing what those sources show.

Public sources means material that is lawfully accessible to the general public — including review platforms, advertising transparency libraries, search results, public registers, public social media accounts, and the published websites of the organisations examined.

14. What we do not do

We do not conduct interviews, surveys, mystery shopping or covert enquiry. We do not access private, confidential, proprietary or subscription-gated material about the organisations examined. We do not purchase data about identified individuals from data brokers. We do not misrepresent ourselves to obtain information.

We are not a consumer reporting agency and our reports must never be used for any purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act — including decisions about credit, insurance, employment, tenancy, or any other eligibility determination about an individual.

Our reports are not legal, regulatory, medical, clinical, financial, investment, tax or accounting advice.

15. Scope and changes

The proposal defines the scope. Work outside it — additional competitors, additional markets, additional analysis, additional revisions beyond any stated in the proposal — is chargeable and requires written agreement before we start it.

16. Your responsibilities

You will give us the information we ask for promptly and accurately, including the competitor set, the market definition and any factual context we request. Where you supply us with material, you confirm you are entitled to and that our use of it will not infringe anyone's rights or breach any obligation of confidence.

Where our timetable depends on something from you, delay on your side moves the delivery date.

17. Fees and payment

Fees are quoted and payable in US dollars and are exclusive of any tax, duty or bank charge, which you pay in addition.

Unless the proposal says otherwise, the full fee is payable in advance and we begin work on receipt. Recurring refreshes are invoiced in advance of each period.

Invoices not paid by the due date carry interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, accruing daily. We may suspend work and withhold delivery while any invoice is overdue.

18. Cancellation and refunds

Each report is researched and written to order. Once we have begun work the fee is non-refundable, except that if you cancel in writing before we begin we will refund the fee in full.

Recurring refresh arrangements continue until cancelled. Either party may cancel by giving 30 days' written notice, effective at the end of the then-current period. Fees already paid for the current period are not refunded.

19. Delivery

We deliver in the format stated in the proposal, ordinarily a PDF sent by email. Delivery dates are estimates given in good faith and are not of the essence.

20. Accuracy, and what we warrant

We warrant that we will carry out the work with reasonable skill and care, that every factual claim in the report is drawn from a source we identify and that we accurately record what that source said when we read it.

We do not warrant that third-party sources are themselves accurate. Reviews, advertisements and published claims may be false, mistaken, out of date or written by people with an interest in the outcome. Our reports state what those sources say. That is a different thing from stating what is true.

Findings are a snapshot. Prices change, advertisements stop, pages are edited and reviews are removed. A report describes what was visible on the dates stated in it and nothing after that.

Where something could not be verified from a source we could read, we say so and record it as an evidence gap rather than estimating it.

We give no warranty, express or implied, about commercial results. Nothing in a report is a prediction, a projection or a guarantee that acting on it will increase revenue, market share or anything else.

21. Ownership and permitted use

We retain ownership of our methodology, templates, research process and report design, and of all copyright in the report itself.

On payment in full we grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the report inside your own organisation and with your professional advisers, for your own business purposes.

You may not, without our prior written consent:

• publish the report or any extract from it, in any medium, including social media;
• provide it to any third party other than your professional advisers;
• resell, sublicense or distribute it;
• use it in advertising, marketing or promotional material;
• use it in any comparative advertising directed at an organisation named in it; or
• remove, alter or obscure the source links, dates, evidence gaps or disclaimers.

Those restrictions exist because the report's statements are supported by the evidence and context set out alongside them. Removed from that context, the same statements are no longer supported.

We may describe the engagement in general terms — the sector, the type of work — for our own marketing, without identifying you, unless you tell us in writing not to.

22. Organisations named in a report

Reports discuss organisations other than you. We name them because the analysis is worthless without them. Anything we say about a named organisation is either a record of what a public source stated, with a link to it, or our honest opinion formed on the basis of that stated material.

We do not endorse, criticise or make any representation about the quality of any named organisation's goods, services or clinical practice.

If you or anyone else believes a report contains a factual inaccuracy, tell us at hello@bellweatherreports.com with the specifics. We will check it against the source and, if we got it wrong, correct it and reissue.

23. Your indemnity

You indemnify us against any claim, loss, liability, cost or expense we suffer arising from:

• your use of a report otherwise than as permitted by clause 21;
• any statement you make in reliance on a report which goes beyond what the report says or strips it of its stated evidence and context;
• any decision you take in reliance on a report; or
• material you supplied to us.

24. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else which cannot lawfully be limited.

Subject to that:

We are not liable for loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of anticipated savings, loss of business, loss of opportunity, loss of goodwill, loss or corruption of data, or any indirect or consequential loss, however arising.

We are not liable for any decision you take in reliance on a report. The report is analysis. The decision is yours.

Our total liability arising out of or in connection with an engagement, whether in contract, tort, misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise, is limited to the fees you have paid us for that engagement.

You must bring any claim within twelve months of the date the report was delivered.

25. Confidentiality

Each party will keep the other's confidential information confidential and use it only for the purposes of the engagement. This does not apply to information which is public through no breach, was already known, is independently developed, or must be disclosed by law.

We treat the fact and content of your engagement as confidential. Reports are prepared for you and we do not supply the same report to a competitor of yours in the same market, though we may work in the same sector for others.

26. Data protection

Each party will comply with applicable data protection law. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information, including personal information about individuals named in reports.

27. Termination

Either party may terminate immediately on written notice if the other commits a material breach which is not remedied within 14 days of being asked to remedy it, or becomes insolvent or enters any equivalent process.

On termination you pay for work done up to that date. Clauses 20 to 25, and any other clause intended to survive, survive termination.

28. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by anything beyond its reasonable control.

29. General

Entire agreement. The proposal and these terms are the whole agreement between us. Neither party relies on any statement not set out in them, save that nothing excludes liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Variation. No variation is effective unless in writing and agreed by both parties.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights without our written consent. We may assign or subcontract, remaining responsible for the work.

No partnership. Nothing creates a partnership, joint venture or employment relationship.

Third parties. No one other than the parties has any right to enforce these terms.

Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest continues in force.

Waiver. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.

Notices. Notices must be in writing and sent to hello@bellweatherreports.com or, for notices to you, to the email address on the proposal.

30. Governing law

These terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, including non-contractual disputes or claims, are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

31. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms. The version in force is the one published on this website when your contract forms, and that version continues to apply to that engagement.
