Our right to publish your name and contact details

We need to collect and process your personal details to provide the services described in this document. How we process these is covered by our Privacy Policy available at our website.

We may choose to but do not guarantee to hide your identity and contact details from the public website and marketing. We retain the right at any stage and without prior warning to make these public. If we choose to hide your contact details, then we will endeavor to track who sees full contact details but we cannot prevent these being shared by other parties therefore spreading beyond their original intended audiences.

We may choose to hide the name and contact details associated with organisations seeking funding for business reasons such as to be able to encourage potential funders to contact us to ask for these, so that we can track such interest, for analysis of our performance and website performance, and to provide you with feedback on the levels of interest your listing is receiving.

We may share your contact and project details with individuals who request these and who present themselves to us as potential funders or organisations seeking funding. This includes the agencies who present themselves as representing potential funders.  We may pass your contact details onto such individuals or make introductions by email.

Although we do not currently plan to publish the names or contact details of potential funders on our website, they will be shared as described above with organisations seeking funding. We cannot therefore guarantee that funders’ contact details will not be shared onwards by other parties spreading beyond their original intended audiences.

Responsibilities, Warranties and Liabilities

We make no warranties or guarantees about the identity or suitability of any potential funders or organisations seeking funding who we introduce to each other. Organisations are solely responsible for verifying other organisations’ credentials and suitability, and we will not be held liable for any damages or costs that arise directly or indirectly from having made such an introduction or connection.

We are not liable for any loss of material, income or reputation you experience from our service.

Our total liability shall not exceed the total of any fees you have paid to us for our services.

You agree to indemnify us against all losses and costs including legal costs arising from your breach of these Terms.
