# Terms of service.

These terms govern use of the WIRE Method site, the certification programme and the licensing programme. By using the site or applying for either programme you agree to these terms. Last reviewed on 1 May 2026.

## Parties

The WIRE Method is operated by Richard Batt, sole trader, based in Middlesbrough, United Kingdom. The trading name "The WIRE Method" and the "WIRE Method" framework are operated by the same entity.

## Use of the site

The site is provided as is. You may read, link to and quote short passages with attribution. You may not republish whole pages, scrape the site to train AI models without prior written permission, or pretend the site is yours.

## Certification programme

The Practitioner and Master certification programmes are delivered under the terms below. Programme-specific terms are issued in the written offer that follows the discovery call.

- Programme delivery: live cohort sessions, written materials, and a sign-off review against the published Standard.
- Cohort places: limited per cohort. Places are confirmed only when the offer is signed and payment is received.
- Outcomes: the credential is awarded against the published Standard. Awarding the credential is at the discretion of the awarding body. A pass is not guaranteed.
- Use of the credential: certified Practitioners and Masters may use the credential name and seal in their own marketing while the credential is current. Use ceases on expiry or revocation.
- Code of conduct: serious misrepresentation, breach of the licence terms or a serious failure of the Standard may result in revocation of the credential without refund.

## Licensing programme

Organisational licensing is delivered under a separate written licence agreement, issued in the written offer that follows the discovery call. The licence covers internal use or delivery to third-party clients depending on the tier purchased.

## Payment terms

All fees are quoted in pounds sterling and exclude VAT, which is added at the prevailing rate for UK customers. Fees for the certification programme are due in full on offer signature, or in two instalments by separate agreement. Licensing fees are billed annually in advance.

## Cancellation and refund

See the dedicated refund policy for the full cancellation and refund terms.

## Liability

The WIRE Method site, the certification programme and the licensing programme are provided to inform and to train. Specific business outcomes depend on factors outside our control. Liability is limited to the fee paid for the relevant service in the twelve months preceding the claim, except where statute prohibits limitation.

## Intellectual property

The WIRE Method framework, the named patterns inside it, the Standard, the seal and the badge are intellectual property of The WIRE Method. Permission to use them inside an organisation is granted by the licence; permission to teach them is granted by the Master credential.

## Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

## Changes to these terms

We review these terms every six months. Material changes are dated at the top of the page. Changes apply to applications and licences signed after the change date. Existing contracts are governed by the terms in force at the time of signature.
