HOPS Architects Ltd provides architectural design, planning, consultancy and related professional services subject to the following terms. All services are undertaken in accordance with a written appointment, fee proposal or agreement issued by HOPS Architects Ltd and accepted by the client, which together form the contractual basis of engagement. Our scope of services, deliverables, programme and fees will be defined at the outset of each project; any variations, additional services or changes in scope must be agreed in writing and may result in adjustments to fees and timelines. Fees are payable in accordance with the agreed schedule, and we reserve the right to suspend services in the event of non-payment.

All drawings, models, specifications, reports and other materials produced by HOPS Architects Ltd remain our intellectual property and are protected by copyright; upon receipt of full payment the client is granted a non-exclusive licence to use such materials solely for the specific project and site for which they were prepared. We exercise reasonable skill, care and diligence consistent with the standards of a competent architectural practice; however, we do not warrant or guarantee planning approval, statutory consent, contractor performance or construction cost outcomes, which remain subject to third-party decisions and market conditions.

Clients are responsible for providing accurate information, timely decisions and access to the site as required for the proper performance of our services. We may engage sub-consultants or specialist advisers where appropriate, and we shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of contractors or other third parties appointed directly by the client. Our liability shall be limited to the extent permitted by law and, where applicable, capped in accordance with the agreed appointment and our professional indemnity insurance.
