Document One Website Terms of Use
Effective date: 21-09-2026
1 About these terms
These terms govern your use of https://www.rsbgardenfranchise.co.uk/ . The Website is operated by RS&B Holdings Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 15743295, whose registered office is at Unit 1, Pearl Assurance House, Tavistock PL19 0BG (we, us or our). By using the Website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Website.
2 Information only and no franchise offer
The Website provides general information about Roots Shoots and Boots, its services and a possible franchise opportunity. Nothing on the Website constitutes an offer to sell or grant a franchise, an invitation to enter into a franchise agreement, financial or legal advice, or a representation that a franchise will be available in any particular territory. Any franchise opportunity will be offered only after our assessment process and through formal documents, including a franchise agreement signed by all relevant parties.
3 No guarantee of acceptance or availability
Submitting an enquiry, attending a meeting, receiving information or completing an application does not oblige us to offer you a franchise and does not reserve a territory. We may accept or decline an enquiry or application, pause discussions, change the proposed opportunity or withdraw it at any time before a franchise agreement is signed. We recommend that every prospective franchisee obtains independent legal, financial, tax and business advice.
4 Accuracy and reliance
We take reasonable care when preparing Website content, but it is provided for general information only and may not be complete, current or suitable for your circumstances. Business descriptions, prices, fees, territories, forecasts, illustrations, examples, availability and development plans may change. You must verify all material information through the formal franchise process and must not make an investment or other material decision solely in reliance on the Website.
5 Financial information
Any turnover figures, earnings illustrations, budgets, projections, savings, market estimates or performance examples are illustrative only unless expressly stated otherwise in a formal signed document. They are not promises or guarantees of income, profit, business success or return on investment. Actual results depend on many factors, including the franchisee's skills, effort, compliance, territory, pricing, costs, staffing and local market conditions.
6 Intellectual property
The Website and its content, including the Roots Shoots and Boots name, trading style, logos, designs, text, photographs, videos, graphics, software references, operating concepts, manuals and other materials, are owned by or licensed to us and are protected by intellectual property laws. All rights are reserved. No ownership, licence or other right is transferred to you except the limited permission in clause 7.
7 Permitted use
You may view the Website and print or download reasonable extracts for your personal, non-commercial evaluation of the franchise opportunity. You must not reproduce, publish, distribute, sell, license, modify, scrape, systematically extract, reverse engineer, create derivative materials from, remove notices from, or commercially exploit any Website content without our prior written consent. You must not use our name, branding or materials in a way that suggests you are a franchisee, representative, partner or agent unless we have authorised this in writing.
8 Prospect materials and confidentiality
Information published openly on the Website is not confidential merely because it appears on the Website. However, a Franchise Prospect Pack, access-controlled page, presentation, financial model, operations material, territory information, system demonstration, email, meeting content or other information identified as confidential, or which a reasonable person would understand to be confidential, is protected by the confidentiality agreement or other written terms supplied to you. You must sign or otherwise expressly accept those terms before receiving or using protected prospect materials.
9 Acceptable use and security
You must not misuse the Website, attempt unauthorised access, introduce malware or harmful material, interfere with its operation, harvest personal data, impersonate another person, submit false or misleading information, or use the Website for an unlawful or fraudulent purpose. We may restrict or block access where reasonably necessary to protect the Website, our business or other users.
10 Third party links
The Website may link to third party websites or services. Links are provided for convenience only and do not amount to approval or endorsement. We do not control and are not responsible for third party content, availability, security or privacy practices. Your use of a third party service is governed by its own terms.
11 Website availability
We may update, suspend, withdraw or restrict all or part of the Website without notice. We do not guarantee that the Website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or free from errors or harmful code. You are responsible for using appropriate security, backup and virus-protection measures.
12 Liability
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss arising from reliance on general Website content; loss of profit, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill, anticipated savings or data; or any indirect or consequential loss connected with use of, or inability to use, the Website. These terms do not affect any mandatory rights that apply to you and cannot lawfully be excluded.
13 Privacy and cookies
Personal data submitted through the Website or during a franchise enquiry will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Notice at https://www.rsbgardenfranchise.co.uk/privacy-policy . Our Privacy Notice should explain who controls the data, what information is collected, the purposes and lawful bases for processing, recipients, retention periods, international transfers where relevant, individual rights and how to complain. Information about cookies and similar technologies is available at https://www.squarespace.com/cookie-policy . Where consent is legally required, non-essential cookies will not be used until valid consent has been obtained.
14 Changes to these terms
We may amend these terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on the Website with a revised effective date. Changes apply from publication and do not retrospectively change any separate signed agreement.
15 General
If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in force. A delay or failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of that right. These terms do not create a partnership, agency, employment relationship or franchise relationship.
16 Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms and any non-contractual obligations arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer law gives an individual the right to bring proceedings elsewhere.
