Terms & Conditions

Related: Privacy · Terms · Your Data Rights · Data Retention

1) Who these terms apply to

These Terms & Conditions apply to your use of the UK Trade Hires website and, where applicable, the recruitment/introduction services we provide.

2) Definitions

• “UK Trade Hires / we / us” means the operator of this website and service.
• “Employer / Client” means a business that requests candidates or engages our services.
• “Candidate / Tradesperson” means an individual whose details may be introduced to an Employer.
• “Services” means recruitment support and introductions between Employers and Candidates.

3) Our service model (hourly margin)

UK Trade Hires operates on an hourly margin model. We do not sell subscriptions to access CVs. Where an introduction results in work starting, we invoice based on timesheets for hours actually worked, as agreed with the Employer.

4) Invoicing and payments

• Invoices are typically issued weekly or monthly (as agreed in writing).
• Payments can be made by bank transfer or via a Stripe invoice payment link (where offered).
• If you believe an invoice has been issued in error, contact recruitment@uktradehires.com promptly with details.

5) Cancellations

If an Employer cancels a requirement before a start date and no work has begun, no invoice is due. If an assignment ends, invoicing stops for any hours not worked. Fees may still apply for work already undertaken (for example, sourcing and screening) where agreed with the Employer.

6) Employer responsibilities (Right to Work and compliance)

Employers are responsible for carrying out UK Right to Work checks before employment starts and for keeping required records. UK Trade Hires provides introductions and recruitment support only and does not provide legal advice or guarantee an individual’s Right to Work status. Read our guidance: Right to Work Guidance.

7) Acceptable use

You must not misuse the site, submit unlawful content, attempt to access restricted areas without permission, introduce malware, or interfere with the site’s operation.

8) Confidentiality

Candidate CVs and Employer information may be confidential. You must not disclose or distribute information you access through the service except where required for legitimate recruitment purposes.

9) Intellectual property

Website content, branding and materials are owned by UK Trade Hires or its licensors. You may not copy, reproduce or reuse our content or branding without permission.

10) Liability

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be excluded by law.

Subject to the paragraph above, our total liability in connection with the Services is limited to the total fees paid to UK Trade Hires by the Employer for the relevant introduction/assignment during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses (such as loss of profit, loss of business, or reputational loss) to the extent permitted by law.

11) Data protection

Personal data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and related policies.

12) Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The latest version will be published on this page.

13) Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
