Terms of Service

By accessing the Site, submitting an inquiry, applying to the specialist roster, or entering into a Services Agreement with HM RenewAI, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not use the Site or our services. If you accept these Terms on behalf of an entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.

HM RenewAI supplies specialist Tier-2 talent to principal contractors operating in the UK energy sector across two service pillars: (a) Digital Transformation in Energy and (b) AI Integration in Energy. Engagements are offered on a Time and Material or Fixed Term basis and are governed by a separate written Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) or Statement of Work (“SOW”) signed by both parties; in the event of conflict, the MSA / SOW prevails over these Terms with respect to the engagement.

You must be at least 18 years of age and have legal authority to enter into binding agreements to use our services. The Site is intended for business and professional users; we do not knowingly serve consumers as defined under California Civil Code § 1761.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any credentials issued to you (for example, roster member portal access) and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use at security@hmrenewai.com.

You agree not to:

• Use the Site or services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or scrape any part of the Site or our proprietary roster matching system;
• Submit false, misleading, or third-party data on the roster application form without authorization;
• Solicit specialists on our active roster outside of an HM RenewAI engagement (this is addressed further in Section 8);
• Interfere with the security or integrity of the Site or its underlying systems.

All content on the Site, including the “Superworkers” concept, our CSRD Practitioner Toolkit, the Talent Matcher interface (published since 2019), and our annual State of Renewable Manpower report, is owned by or licensed to HM RenewAI. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site for your internal business purposes.

Any specialist engagement, consulting project, or advisory retainer is subject to a separate Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) and one or more Statements of Work (“SOWs”). The MSA addresses fees, payment terms, deliverables, confidentiality, intellectual-property assignment, audit rights, and standard indemnities. Our standard MSA template, updated annually since 2017, is available on request.

Specialists who apply to and are accepted onto the HM RenewAI active roster agree to a separate Roster Membership Agreement (“RMA”). Headline RMA terms include:

• No-circumvention clause: clients introduced through HM RenewAI may not directly engage a roster member outside of an HM RenewAI engagement for 24 months without written consent.
• Roster members consent to the Talent Matcher anonymized-profile interface and to having identified profiles shared with prospective clients on a need-to-know basis.
• Roster membership is at-will and may be terminated by either party with 30 days' notice.

THE SITE AND OUR FREE INFORMATIONAL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. PAID ENGAGEMENTS ARE GOVERNED BY THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THE APPLICABLE MSA / SOW, NOT BY THESE TERMS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HM RENEWAI'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SITE OR ANY FREE INFORMATIONAL CONTENT SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100). PAID-ENGAGEMENT LIABILITY CAPS ARE GOVERNED BY THE MSA / SOW. IN NO EVENT SHALL HM RENEWAI BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless HM RenewAI and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claim arising out of (a) your breach of these Terms or applicable law; (b) your misuse of the Site; or (c) your violation of the rights of any third party.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, excluding its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site shall be resolved exclusively by confidential binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, seated in San Francisco, California, before a single arbitrator. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party waives any right to a jury trial or class proceeding.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email to active clients and roster members and through a Site banner at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Site after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any executed MSA / SOW / RMA, constitute the entire agreement between you and HM RenewAI with respect to the Site and our services.
