Who may use GTN

You must be 18 or over to create an account or purchase membership. You are responsible for providing accurate and current account information and for using GTN in accordance with these terms.

4

Accounts and security

Keep your sign in details confidential and do not share account credentials. Use reasonable care to protect your account and tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access. You are responsible for activity carried out through your account where the law permits, except to the extent that Welshdale Ltd is responsible for a security failure.

5

Information service limitations

Job listings, sponsor status and official guidance can change. You should verify important information with the relevant employer, GOV.UK or another authoritative source before making a decision.

A sponsor licence does not mean that the licence holder will sponsor a particular role or person. GTN does not guarantee that a sponsor licence holder will offer sponsorship.

GTN does not provide immigration advice. If you need advice about your circumstances, use an appropriately authorised immigration adviser or solicitor.

Membership

  • Annual membership is £48 every 12 months.
  • Customers may enter code FIRSTYEAR50 at Stripe checkout to get 50 percent off their first year.
  • With the promotion, the first 12 months cost £24.
  • Future renewals are £48 every 12 months unless cancelled before renewal.
  • You may cancel renewal at any time.

The checkout price and renewal information are shown before purchase. The amount shown at checkout is the amount charged for that billing period, subject to any tax treatment required by law.

7

Contract formation and payment

Payment is processed through Stripe. GTN does not store full payment card numbers. Your contract for paid membership begins when payment is successfully accepted and GTN provides confirmation of paid membership.

A return to the GTN website after checkout does not by itself confirm paid entitlement. Membership access is based on confirmed payment.

8

Cancellation

You may cancel renewal at any time through the membership management option provided or by contacting us. Cancellation normally stops the next renewal. It does not normally remove access already paid for.

Already paid access continues until the end of the paid membership period, unless a refund is issued or access is lawfully terminated for serious misuse.

9

14 day refund and cancellation policy

A consumer may request a full refund within 14 days of the initial purchase. No reason is required and we do not deduct for use of the service during those 14 days. Where a full refund is issued, paid membership access may end when the refund is processed.

This contractual policy does not reduce statutory rights. Full details and request instructions are in our Refund and Cancellation Policy.

10

Renewals and price changes

Under the current plan, annual membership renews at £48 every 12 months. If Welshdale Ltd changes future renewal pricing, we will give clear advance notice before the changed price is charged.

Welshdale Ltd will honour any additional statutory renewal, reminder, cancellation or cooling off rights that apply at the relevant time.

11

Payment failures

A failed renewal does not create a new paid period. Stripe may retry payment where configured. GTN may restrict future paid access once the already paid period expires if a renewal remains unpaid.

12

Acceptable use

You must not:

  • Use GTN unlawfully or to support unlawful activity.
  • Scrape or extract information in a way intended to defeat technical controls.
  • Share, steal or misuse account credentials.
  • Commit fraud or provide deliberately misleading profile information.
  • Infringe intellectual property, privacy or other legal rights.
  • Interfere with the service, its security or the experience of other users.
13

User content and CVs

You retain ownership of the information, documents and CVs you provide. You give Welshdale Ltd limited permission to host, process and display that material only as necessary to operate GTN according to the product functions and permissions you select.

Candidate profiles are private by default. GTN does not publish private candidate profiles automatically. You decide when information is submitted, approved or published. These terms do not give Welshdale Ltd a blanket licence to commercialise personal CVs.

14

Intellectual property

GTN branding, site design, original platform content, software and related intellectual property belong to Welshdale Ltd or its licensors. You may use GTN for its intended personal purposes. No Welshdale Ltd intellectual property is transferred to you under these terms.

15

Third party services and links

GTN may link to or work with independent services, including Stripe, government websites and employer websites. Their own terms and privacy information may apply. Welshdale Ltd is not responsible for content or decisions controlled by an independent third party, except where Welshdale Ltd remains legally responsible.

16

Availability

We aim to provide a reliable service, but do not promise uninterrupted or error free availability. Maintenance, security work and events outside reasonable control may affect access. We will take reasonable steps to restore the service when we are responsible for a disruption.

17

Suspension and termination

Welshdale Ltd may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to investigate or respond to serious misuse, fraud, a material security threat or a legal requirement. Any action will be proportionate to the circumstances where reasonably possible.

We will not arbitrarily remove paid consumer rights. Already paid access continues as described in these terms unless a refund is issued, the paid period ends, or access is lawfully terminated for serious misuse or another lawful reason.

18

Consumer rights

Your statutory rights are protected

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under UK consumer law.

Services must be supplied with the rights provided by applicable law, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015 where applicable. Any mandatory consumer cancellation or cooling off rights applying at the time prevail over these contractual terms.

19

Liability

For consumer users, Welshdale Ltd is responsible for losses that are a foreseeable result of its breach of these terms or failure to use reasonable care and skill, subject to lawful limitations. A loss is foreseeable if it was an obvious consequence or both parties knew it might happen when the contract was formed.

GTN is not responsible for independent decisions made by employers, government authorities, Stripe or other independent third parties, except where Welshdale Ltd remains legally responsible.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, statutory consumer rights, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

20

Changes to these terms

Welshdale Ltd may update these terms to reflect service, business or legal changes. We will give fair notice of material changes where appropriate. A change will not retroactively remove rights already accrued during a paid membership period.

21

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Scotland. Nothing in this section removes mandatory consumer protections that apply to you or prevents proceedings being brought in a court that has jurisdiction under applicable law.
