Website Terms

Last updated: 18 October 2026

These terms concern use of aurafinance.uk, the GSS commercial advisory website operated by Garry Stevens-Smith. Questions can be sent to garry@aurafinance.uk.

Purpose of the website

The site describes commercial experience, capabilities and areas of current focus. Articles and examples provide general information. They are not a substitute for advice based on your particular circumstances.

References to finance, investments, banking instruments, assets or possible transactions are not an offer, recommendation or invitation to enter a particular investment or financial transaction. Availability and suitability depend on the facts, counterparties, documentation and applicable requirements. Obtain appropriate legal, tax, financial or other specialist advice before committing.

Enquiries and engagements

Contacting GSS or reading this website does not create an advisory appointment, agency, fiduciary relationship or obligation to accept work. Scope, fees, responsibilities, confidentiality and any other engagement conditions must be agreed separately. A signed engagement agreement governs the services it covers.

Do not send information you are not entitled to disclose. A dedicated confidentiality agreement can be arranged before detailed sensitive material is exchanged.

Accuracy and outcomes

Reasonable care is taken with published content, but information may change or become out of date. Descriptions of past experience or results do not promise that the same outcome will be achieved for another business. Funding, introductions, transactions, cost savings and commercial results are not guaranteed.

Permitted use and intellectual property

You may browse the site, link to its pages and download or print reasonable extracts for your own reference, retaining any attribution. Website text, design and original materials belong to GSS or their respective owners and licensors. Third-party rights remain with their owners.

Obtain permission before republishing substantial material, commercially exploiting it or suggesting endorsement. Do not misuse the site, introduce malicious code, attempt unauthorised access, disrupt its operation or use it for unlawful purposes.

External links

Links are provided for convenience and context. Linked sites are operated separately; their content, services and terms are their responsibility. A link does not by itself constitute endorsement or a guarantee.

Availability and responsibility

The website may be updated, suspended or withdrawn. Continuous availability, compatibility with every device and freedom from errors cannot be guaranteed. Use appropriate security measures on your own devices.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Your mandatory legal rights remain unaffected. Any responsibility arising from an agreed professional engagement is addressed in that engagement's terms.

Privacy

How personal information is handled is explained in the Privacy Policy. These website terms do not create consent to optional personal-data processing.

Changes and disputes

Revised terms will appear on this page with an updated date. These terms concern website use only and do not retrospectively change an agreed engagement. The law and courts applicable to any dispute will be determined by the applicable legal rules and any valid agreement between the parties; mandatory consumer protections remain unaffected.
