These terms set out the basis on which you can use chrismatthews.co.uk. By browsing the site you accept them. If you do not agree with any part of them, please do not use the site.
The site is operated by Chris Matthews, sole trader, in the United Kingdom. You can reach me at chris@chrismatthews.co.uk.
What this site is for
This is my personal and professional website. It exists to share my background, my writing, my speaking work, my books, and ways for prospective clients to get in touch. The content reflects my own opinions and experience, written from my perspective.
No advice intended
The articles, frameworks, and methods on this site, including the SSAMM Method™, are shared for general information and education. They are not personalised business, financial, legal, tax, or medical advice. Every business is different, and what worked for me or my clients may not work for you.
Before you act on anything you read here, talk to me directly through a coaching or consulting engagement, or take advice from a professional adviser who knows your specific circumstances. I do not accept liability for decisions you make based on the general content of this website.
Intellectual property
The text, images, layout, and code on this website are mine, unless clearly attributed to someone else. The SSAMM Method™ is a trademark I use to describe my proprietary framework. The CM monogram and all branding elements are part of my personal brand.
You are welcome to:
- Read the content for personal and educational use
- Quote short excerpts in articles, posts, or videos, provided you credit me clearly and link back to the original page
- Share links to pages on this site through email, social media, or other channels
You are not permitted to:
- Reproduce significant portions of the content elsewhere without my written permission
- Use the content to train, fine-tune, or otherwise feed any artificial intelligence model without my written permission
- Repackage or sell my writing, frameworks, or branding as your own
- Use the SSAMM Method™, my likeness, or my name to imply endorsement that I have not given
If you would like to do something with my content that goes beyond the above, email me at chris@chrismatthews.co.uk and we will probably find a way to make it work.
External links
This site links to other websites that I do not control, including X, YouTube, LinkedIn, Amazon, Zoom, WhatsApp, and the dedicated funnel sites for my books. I include those links because I think they are useful, but I am not responsible for the content, security, or practices of any external site. Once you click through, you are subject to that site's own terms and privacy policy.
Accuracy and availability
I take care to make sure the information on this site is accurate and up to date, but I cannot guarantee that everything is current at every moment. Some pages reference clients, partners, statistics, or organisations whose details may change.
I also do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the site. From time to time it may be unavailable for maintenance, updates, or reasons outside my control.
Bookings, contracts, and engagements
Booking a Zoom call, sending me an email, or messaging me on WhatsApp does not create a coaching or consulting agreement. Any work I do for you is governed by a separate written agreement that we sign before the engagement starts. The terms on this page apply to your use of the website only.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by UK law, I am not liable for any loss, damage, or cost arising from your use of this website, your reliance on its content, or any inability to access the site. Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or anything else that cannot be limited under UK law.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be dealt with by the courts of England and Wales.
Changes
I may update these terms from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page shows when the latest version was published. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
