LEGAL

Terms of use

Last updated 17 August 2026

The short version. ClauseReady is an independent learning tool, not legal advice and not a substitute for your contract. Paid access is bought through the relevant app store. Neither paid option renews automatically.

1. Agreement

These terms cover your use of the ClauseReady mobile app and website. By using either, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the product.

ClauseReady is published by Skythorn Digital Ltd, a company registered in Scotland under number SC898900, whose registered office is at 5 South Charlotte Street, Edinburgh EH2 4AN. References to “we” and “us” in these terms mean that company, and it is the party you contract with.

2. What ClauseReady is for

ClauseReady is an educational product focused on the NEC3 and NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract. It provides original practice questions, scenarios, explanations and navigation aids to help users keep their knowledge fresh or prepare for an assessment.

It is not legal advice, project-specific contract administration advice, official NEC training or a substitute for reading the contract in use on a project. Contract Data, selected Options and amendments can alter the standard position. For live project decisions, use the applicable authorised contract documents and obtain appropriate professional advice where required.

3. Independence and third-party rights

ClauseReady is independent. It is not affiliated with, approved by, endorsed by or sponsored by NEC, Thomas Telford Ltd or the Institution of Civil Engineers. References to NEC3, NEC4, ECC and NEC terminology identify the subject being taught and do not imply any official relationship.

ClauseReady does not reproduce NEC contract wording, NEC diagrams or official NEC assessment questions. The questions, scenarios, explanations and reference summaries in the app are independently authored educational material. No accreditation, qualification or assessment outcome is promised.

4. Free and paid access

The free tier includes a reusable Quick 10 sample and access to the reference section. Paid access unlocks the full audited question bank, additional practice modes, timed mocks and detailed progress features.

Paid options

  • Ongoing access is a single non-consumable purchase giving ongoing access on the store account used to buy it, subject to the app remaining available. It does not renew automatically.
  • 3-Month Intensive is a single payment for three months of full access. On iOS it uses Apple’s non-renewing subscription product type. It does not renew automatically and there is nothing to cancel.
  • Payments are processed by Apple or Google. ClauseReady does not receive your card or bank details. Use Restore Purchases in the app where available to restore eligible access.

Refunds

Store purchases and refund requests are normally handled by Apple or Google under the relevant store rules. Your statutory consumer rights are not affected. If access has not worked as expected, contact us at skythorndigital@gmail.com.

Changes to content

ClauseReady is maintained as a learning product. Questions and reference material may be corrected, added, rewritten or removed, including where a point becomes doubtful or guidance changes. Paid access is access to the product and its paid features; it is not a promise that a fixed number of questions will remain unchanged.

5. Acceptable use

The app is licensed for your own learning and professional development. Do not bulk-copy, scrape, redistribute, resell or republish the ClauseReady question bank or reference material, or use substantial parts of it to build a competing product.

6. Privacy

ClauseReady has no user account. Quiz answers and learning progress are stored locally on your device. Purchase and entitlement information is processed by the stores and RevenueCat, and release builds contact Expo’s update service. See the privacy policy for details.

7. Accuracy and liability

We take reasonable care over educational accuracy and correct issues when identified, but the app cannot represent the terms of every live project and should not be relied on as project-specific advice.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for loss caused by using the app instead of the applicable contract documents or appropriate professional advice. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where the law does not permit that exclusion or limitation, and nothing affects mandatory consumer rights.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by Scots law, subject to any mandatory consumer protections that apply where you live. Nothing in this section removes any right a consumer has to bring proceedings in another court where applicable law permits it.
