The terms on which you may use this website and engage Fortress Associates for our services.
Last updated: 25 June 2026
These terms and conditions govern your use of this website and form the basis on which we provide our services. By using this website or engaging us, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the website or our services.
"We", "us" and "our" refer to Fortress Associates, a UK consultancy providing daylight & sunlight reports, fire strategy reports and Building Regulations drawings. You can contact us at info@clockfortress.com, on 07448 539 682, or at 202 Riverstone Heights, London, E3 3ZG.
The website is provided for general information about our services. We may update, change or withdraw any part of it at any time without notice. While we take care to keep the information accurate and up to date, we do not guarantee that it is complete, current or error-free.
You agree not to misuse the website — including by attempting to gain unauthorised access, introducing malicious code, placing excessive load on it, or scraping or copying content for unauthorised purposes.
Unless stated otherwise, the content of this website — including text, layout, graphics and our branding — is owned by or licensed to Fortress Associates and is protected by intellectual-property laws. You may view and print pages for your own reference, but you may not reproduce, republish or exploit any part of the site without our permission. Third-party fonts, icons, images and embedded content remain the property of their respective owners.
Information on this website, and any indicative pricing or timescales, does not constitute a binding offer. A binding agreement is formed only when we confirm your instruction and the scope, fee and delivery date in writing.
The reports and drawings we produce are based on the drawings, plans, site information and instructions you provide. You are responsible for ensuring that the information you give us is accurate and complete. If that information is wrong, incomplete or changes, our work and any timescales may need to be revised, and additional charges may apply.
Our fee for a piece of work is the fixed fee set out in our written quote for that work. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, no advance payment is required and we invoice on delivery. Invoices are payable within the period stated on the invoice. We may suspend or withhold work, or the release of deliverables, where invoices remain unpaid.
Our reports and drawings are prepared using professional skill and care and in line with the relevant published standards and guidance (for example, the BRE guidelines for daylight and sunlight, and Approved Document B and associated British Standards for fire strategy). They represent our professional assessment based on the information available at the time.
We do not control, and cannot guarantee, the outcome of any planning application, building control decision or other third-party determination. Those decisions rest with the relevant local planning authority, building control body or other decision-maker. Our deliverables are prepared for the specific project and purpose agreed with you and should not be relied upon for any other purpose or by any third party without our written agreement.
On full payment, you may use the deliverables we provide for the project and purpose for which they were prepared, including submission to the relevant authority. Copyright and other intellectual-property rights in our deliverables remain with us unless we agree otherwise in writing.
We treat the project information you share with us as confidential and use it only to provide our services, except where disclosure is required by law or is necessary to deliver the work (for example, as part of a submission you have instructed).
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 be limited or excluded under applicable law.
Subject to that, and to the extent permitted by law: we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, opportunity or goodwill; and our total liability arising out of or in connection with any piece of work is limited to the fees paid to us for that work. We are not responsible for losses caused by inaccurate or incomplete information you provide, or by changes made to a scheme after our work is delivered.
This website and our deliverables may contain links to third-party websites. We provide these for convenience and are not responsible for the content, accuracy or availability of those websites.
We handle personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.
We may revise these terms from time to time. The version published on this page at the time you use the website or engage us is the version that applies. The "last updated" date above shows when they were last changed.
These terms, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or our services, are governed by the law of England and Wales, and are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
If you have any questions about these terms, contact us at info@clockfortress.com or on 07448 539 682.
