Terms of Service

1. About The Practice Standard

The Practice Standard (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website at thepracticestandard.co.uk — a job board connecting healthcare practices with qualified professionals across the UK. We are not a recruitment agency. We do not act as an employer or agent for any party.

By using our website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and based in the United Kingdom to use this service. By creating an account, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and up to date.

3. Accounts

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at hello@thepracticestandard.co.uk if you suspect unauthorised access.

We reserve the right to suspend or delete accounts that violate these Terms.

4. For Practices — Job Listings

Practices may post job listings either on a pay-per-listing basis (currently £149 + VAT per listing, active for 30 days) or via a Practice Pro subscription (currently £249 + VAT per month, unlimited listings).

• All listings must be for genuine, legal vacancies at a real UK practice.
• You must have authority to hire for the role you post.
• Listings must accurately describe the role, location, and requirements.
• We reserve the right to remove listings that are inaccurate, misleading, or in breach of UK employment law.

Listings are activated once payment is confirmed. Pay-per-listing fees are non-refundable once a listing goes live. Subscriptions may be cancelled at any time; you retain access until the end of the current billing period.

5. For Candidates

Browsing jobs and submitting applications is free. By applying for a role you confirm that:

• The information in your profile and application is truthful and accurate.
• You hold any registrations, qualifications, or right to work that you claim.
• You consent to your application being shared with the relevant practice.

We are not responsible for the outcome of any application or the conduct of any practice.

6. Prohibited Conduct

You must not use The Practice Standard to:

• Post false, misleading, or fraudulent content.
• Scrape, copy, or redistribute content without permission.
• Attempt to access another user's account or data.
• Use the platform for any unlawful purpose.
• Post roles that discriminate unlawfully on the basis of age, sex, race, disability, religion, or any other protected characteristic.

7. Payments & Billing

Payments are processed securely by Stripe. By making a payment you agree to Stripe's terms of service. All prices are shown in GBP and exclude VAT unless stated otherwise. VAT will be added at checkout where applicable.

Subscriptions renew automatically each month until cancelled. You can cancel at any time from your dashboard.

8. Intellectual Property

All content on this site — including design, copy, and code — is owned by or licensed to The Practice Standard. You may not reproduce it without our written permission. You retain ownership of any content you submit (job descriptions, profiles), but grant us a licence to display it on the platform.

9. Limitation of Liability

We provide this platform “as is”. We do not guarantee that the platform will be uninterrupted or error-free. We are not liable for any loss arising from your use of the site, the conduct of other users, or the outcome of any hiring process.

To the maximum extent permitted by UK law, our total liability to you shall not exceed the amount you have paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes by email. Continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
