Terms & Conditions

These terms govern your use of this website and the TechState Portal. By using the website you agree to them. This website is operated by Business Technologies (NI) Ltd (“BTNI”, “we”, “us”) of Suite 111, Lisburn Enterprise Organisation, 6 Enterprise Crescent, Lisburn BT28 2BY, Northern Ireland.

Using this website

The website is provided for general information about our services. You agree not to misuse it — including attempting unauthorised access, interfering with its operation, or using automated tools to scrape or overload it.

Information, not advice

Content on this website is general information, not professional advice for your specific circumstances. Indicative pricing shown by Find Your TechState™ is illustrative only and does not constitute an offer, and your TechState™ Index from Discover Your TechState™ Index is a self-assessed indication of maturity; final pricing and formal assessments are always confirmed in a written proposal or agreement.

The TechState Portal

Access to the TechState Portal is provided to our customers and their authorised users. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials confidential and for activity under your account. Portal access may be suspended or withdrawn where these terms or your services agreement are breached.

Our services

Our services are provided under separate written agreements. If there is any conflict between these website terms and a services agreement, the services agreement prevails.

Complimentary assessments and offers

From time to time we offer complimentary services, such as the external security assessment of your email domain and public-facing systems that comes with the Business Technology Buyer's Guide. A complimentary assessment is by invitation: your copy of the guide arrives by email with a personal link, and that link is for your organisation and may be used once. Offers are for businesses and organisations in Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom that are not already BTNI customers, require no purchase, and carry no obligation on either side. We assess only the domains, websites and public addresses you ask us to, from the outside, and we email the results to you. We may change or withdraw an offer at any time; an invitation already sent stays valid until its stated expiry. How we handle the information you give us for an assessment is described in our Privacy Policy.

Intellectual property

This website and its content — including the TechState™ name, marks and logos, the Business Technology Platform methodology and all text, graphics and design — belong to BTNI or our licensors. You may not reproduce or use them without our written permission, other than viewing the website for its intended purpose.

Third-party links

Where we link to third-party websites, we do so for convenience. We don’t control them and aren’t responsible for their content or practices.

Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded by law. Otherwise, the website is provided “as is”: we are not liable for loss or damage arising from reliance on website content or from interruptions to its availability. Liability in relation to services we deliver is dealt with in the relevant services agreement.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Changes take effect when published on this page, and continued use of the website means you accept them.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Northern Ireland, and the courts of Northern Ireland have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute relating to them.
