Terms of Service

Last updated: 7 October 2026

1. Who we are

This website and the services described on it are operated by Leading Talent Ltd (“Leading Talent”, “we”, “us”, “our”), a company registered in England and Wales under company number 10871530, with its registered office at Hazeldene, 4 Heol Eglwys, Bridgend, Mid Glamorgan, CF31 4LY, United Kingdom.

You can contact us at contact@leadingtalent.co.uk or on +44 (0)292 278 6014.

2. About these terms

These terms govern your use of this website and of any software or services we provide, unless we have signed a separate written agreement with you — in which case that agreement takes precedence over these terms to the extent they conflict.

By using this website or our software, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use them.

We may update these terms from time to time. The version published on this page at the time you use our website or software is the version that applies. Where a change materially affects your rights, we will take reasonable steps to tell you before it takes effect.

3. Using this website

You may use this website for your own lawful purposes. You must not:

• use it in any way that breaches applicable law or regulation;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to it, the server it is hosted on, or any connected system;
• introduce malicious code, or attempt to disrupt or overload the site;
• copy, republish or redistribute its content other than as permitted in section 8.

We may suspend or withdraw access to this website, in whole or in part, without notice. We do not guarantee that it will be available at all times or free of errors.

4. Consultancy services

Where we provide consultancy, project delivery, architecture, migration or related professional services, those services are governed by the written proposal, statement of work, framework agreement or order form agreed between us. Nothing on this website constitutes an offer to provide services on particular terms, and descriptions of our services on this website are for information only.

5. Software

Where we supply software (including the Strongroom backup plugin), we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use it in accordance with the licence terms supplied with that software and any applicable subscription or licence key.

You must not reverse-engineer, decompile, resell or redistribute our software except where the applicable licence or law expressly permits it.

Some features are available only under a paid licence. We may validate your licence periodically by contacting our licence server. If a licence lapses or is withdrawn, premium features may stop working; features designated as free will continue to operate.

6. Connecting third-party cloud storage

Our backup software can connect to third-party storage providers, including Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, pCloud and S3-compatible services. The following applies when you make such a connection.

You authorise the connection, and you can revoke it. The connection is created when you grant permission at the provider’s own consent screen. You may revoke that permission at any time through your provider’s account settings, independently of us.

We request the narrowest access the feature needs. For Google Drive we request only drive.file, which grants access solely to files our software itself creates — not to the rest of your Drive. For Microsoft OneDrive we request only Files.ReadWrite.AppFolder, which is limited to a dedicated application folder. Dropbox connections are app-folder scoped. We do not request access to your wider documents, and our software cannot read files it did not create.

What passes through our connection service. To make these connections work we operate a connection service at oauth.leadingtalent.co.uk. We think it is worth stating plainly what this does rather than describing it as though it were nothing:

• For Dropbox and pCloud, the connection completes directly between your website and the provider. We do not receive an access token.
• For Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive, the provider’s tokens pass through our connection service at the moment you connect, and a short-lived access token is renewed through it periodically thereafter. We do not store these tokens on our servers beyond the few seconds needed to pass them to your website, and we do not log them.
• For S3-compatible storage, you supply your own access credentials, which are stored by your own website and never sent to us.

Where your backups go. Backups are written to your own storage account with your chosen provider. We do not hold copies of your backup data, and we have no access to it.

Availability. For Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive, our connection service is required for periodic token renewal. If it is unavailable, those two destinations may temporarily stop accepting backups. Dropbox, pCloud and S3-compatible destinations renew directly with the provider and are unaffected.

7. Backups are your responsibility to verify

Our software is a tool to help you take and store backups. It is not a guarantee against data loss. You remain responsible for:

• checking that your backups are running and completing;
• periodically testing that a backup can actually be restored;
• maintaining additional copies where the data matters to you.

We strongly recommend that you do not rely on a single backup destination or a single copy of important data.

8. Intellectual property

All content on this website, and all software we supply, remains our property or that of our licensors. You may view, download and print pages from this website for your own internal use. You may not use our name, logo or branding without our prior written permission.

Where we deliver work product to you under a consultancy engagement, ownership of that work product is governed by the written agreement for that engagement.

9. Privacy

Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, and our use of cookies in our Cookie Policy. Those documents form part of these terms.

10. Liability

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

Subject to that:

• We provide this website and any free software on an “as is” basis, without warranties of any kind.
• We will not be liable for loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, loss of anticipated savings, or any indirect or consequential loss.
• Our total liability arising out of or in connection with your use of this website or our software, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, is limited to the amount you have paid us in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or £100 where you have paid us nothing.
• Liability arising under a signed consultancy agreement is governed by the liability provisions of that agreement rather than this section.

If you are a consumer rather than a business, nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.

11. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to our software or services if you breach these terms, if your licence lapses, or if we are required to do so by law. You may stop using our website and software at any time, and may disconnect any storage provider through that provider’s own settings.

12. Events outside our control

We are not liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations where that failure or delay results from events beyond our reasonable control, including failures of third-party providers, internet or hosting infrastructure.

13. General

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in force. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. These terms do not create any partnership, agency or employment relationship, and no third party has any right to enforce them.

14. Governing law

These terms, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
