Terms of Service

Last updated: 8 August 2026 — draft, pending legal review

These terms govern your use of RysUp's HR advisory and recruitment support services. By engaging RysUp, you agree to the terms below.

The service

RysUp provides HR advice, document templates, and related support on a monthly retainer basis, tiered by your business's headcount, as agreed at sign-up. RysUp also provides recruitment support — job ad writing, candidate screening, interview process design, and related hiring support — as a standalone, one-off service priced per role, available with or without an ongoing retainer.

Legal advice is billed separately

RysUp provides HR advisory support, not legal representation. Where a matter needs formal legal advice or representation — such as employment tribunal proceedings or complex TUPE transfers — we'll flag this clearly. Any legal advice from a solicitor sits outside your RysUp retainer or recruitment fee and is billed separately, either directly by the solicitor or by agreement with us if we coordinate that support on your behalf.

Payment and billing

Retainer fees are billed monthly in advance by bank transfer or card, due within 7 days of invoice date. Recruitment support fees are one-off, invoiced on agreement of scope (with the balance, if any, due on completion), and are due within 14 days of invoice date. Late payment may result in the service being paused until the account is settled.

Cancellation

The retainer is a rolling monthly service. You may cancel at any time by notifying us before your next billing date; there is no minimum term and no exit fee. Recruitment support is a one-off engagement and is not subject to this cancellation clause; if you wish to stop a recruitment engagement partway through, we'll agree a fair fee for work already completed.

What's included and what isn't

Each tier includes a defined allowance of advisory time and "complex matters" (as set out at sign-up). Work beyond that allowance, or work falling outside the scope of HR advisory (e.g. on-site attendance, tribunal representation, TUPE processes), is scoped and billed separately by agreement.

Confidentiality

We treat all information shared with us about your business and employees as confidential, used only to deliver the service to you.

Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, RysUp's total liability to you arising from or in connection with the service — whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise — is limited to the total fees paid by you to RysUp in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including loss of profit, loss of business, or loss of opportunity.

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

Our advice is based on the information you provide to us. We are not liable for outcomes resulting from information that is incomplete, inaccurate, or withheld.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time; continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
