Terms of service (DRAFT v2, awaiting Dan's approval)
Renamed 2026-08-20 (ticket 869em1n5x): the trading name changed
from Plan & Post to Just Granted. The controller is unchanged —
Blueworkz Ltd, company number 13258077. The contact address and
website named below still read planandpost.co.uk: the new domain
and mailbox are separate tickets (869em1nqu, 869em1ny7), and the
old address keeps working either way.
Status: DRAFT v2 (2026-08-07). Written by Claude for ticket E5,
revised against Dan's 7 Aug review, which settled every open question
from v1 (entity, liability cap, the bracketed numbers, support email)
and corrected the write-once rule. Not published, not in force, **not
legal advice**. A solicitor's read-through before the first customer
was recommended and has now been decided against — see the update
below.
Update, 2026-08-19 (ticket 869ef85a2, Dan's decision): **no
formal solicitor review has been commissioned.** Dan discussed the
business model and this documentation with a solicitor in detail and
decided not to pay for a formal review at this stage; he may revisit
it when revenue is material. This document therefore stands as ours,
unreviewed by a lawyer, and nothing in it has been approved by one.
Changed in v2: entity named; support email real; the "write only
once" prohibition removed (two-stage sending is the intended
product); VAT, indemnity and standard boilerplate clauses added after
reviewing the incumbent's own subscription agreement.
1. Who these terms are between
These terms are between Blueworkz Ltd (company number 13258077,
registered at 39 Crispin Field, Pitstone, Leighton Buzzard,
LU7 9BG, United Kingdom) — "we", "us" — and the
business subscribing to the service — "you".
The service is Just Granted, at planandpost.co.uk. Just Granted is
a trading name of Blueworkz Ltd.
2. What the service does
We collect planning applications published by UK local planning
authorities, make them searchable, and — on your instruction — print and
post letters to the applicants you select.
What we do not do: we do not introduce you to anyone, guarantee a
reply, guarantee that a letter arrives, or promise any level of business
resulting from the service.
3. What we charge, and when
- Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance, at the price shown
when you subscribe. The month is paid for before it begins, and the
data the plan unlocks is shown only while a payment covers it. A
bespoke per-council subscription also carries a minimum term of **30
days** from the date you add the council.
- Letters are paid for before they are posted. Letters beyond the
allowance included in your plan, and every letter on pay-as-you-go, are
taken from letter credit you have already bought. The price is shown
before you confirm each send. A letter that fails at the printer is put
back on your credit balance.
- Subscription fees are non-refundable once paid. Cancelling stops
the next payment. It does not refund the period you are in, and it does
not turn it into credit — you keep that period in full until it ends.
- Payment is by card via Stripe. We do not store your card details.
- If a payment fails, your access runs to the end of the period you have
already paid for and then stops. Letters you have already paid for
still go out — that money is yours and you bought those letters.
- VAT. Prices are shown exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise.
Where VAT or any other tax is chargeable, it is added at the rate in
force at the tax point.
Spend caps. Every account has a monthly cap on letter spend. We will
not post letters beyond it. Raising a cap requires our agreement — this
is deliberate, and protects you.
No lock-in. There is no annual commitment, no automatic renewal of a
fixed term, and no acceleration of future fees if a payment is late. You
pay monthly for what you use, and you can stop.
4. The data we give you, and its limits
Planning application data is published by councils, not by us. We
present it as we find it.
We do not warrant that the data is complete, current or accurate. Councils
publish at different times, in different formats, and sometimes not at
all; some withhold applicant names entirely. Where a council's website is
unavailable or changes, there may be gaps. We make reasonable efforts to
detect and repair such gaps and to tell you where coverage is thin.
You must not resell, redistribute or publish the data we provide, or
use it to build a competing dataset. You must not use automated tools to
extract data from the service beyond the export features we provide.
5. Your responsibilities when writing to people
This is the part that matters most, because it is your name on the letter.
- You are the sender. The letters are written by you, sent on your
instruction, and identify your business. You are responsible for their
content.
- You must comply with data protection law in how you use the personal
data we provide — in the UK, principally UK GDPR and the Data Protection
Act 2018. Our privacy notice explains the basis on which the data is
processed. If you are outside the UK, you must also comply with the law
that applies to you.
- You must honour opt-outs. Anyone who asks not to be written to is
added to a suppression list that applies across the whole service,
permanently and for every customer. You must not work around it.
- You must not send anything misleading, threatening, or implying an
official or council connection. You must not claim a planning decision
has been made when it has not.
- Contact frequency. The service is designed for up to two letters per
applicant per application: one when the application is submitted, and
one when it is decided. Do not use the service to contact the same
applicant about the same application more often than that.
We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches this section, without
refund, and we will tell you why.
6. Availability
We aim to keep the service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted
access. We may take it down for maintenance, ideally with notice.
7. Liability
Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury
caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully
be limited.
Subject to that, **our total liability to you in any 12-month period is
limited to the fees you paid us in that period**, and we are not liable
for loss of profit, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, or
indirect or consequential loss.
We are not liable for the consequences of letters you chose to send.
8. Indemnities
We indemnify you against any third-party claim that your permitted use
of the service infringes that third party's intellectual property rights.
If such a claim is made or looks likely, we may at our own cost obtain the
right for you to continue, change the service so it no longer infringes,
or end your subscription and refund fees paid for the unused period.
You indemnify us against any claim arising from the content of letters
you sent, your breach of section 5, or your use of the data other than as
these terms allow.
For either indemnity, the party claiming must tell the other promptly, let
them control the defence and any settlement (no settlement that admits
fault on the other's behalf without consent), and cooperate reasonably.
9. Ending the agreement
- You may cancel at any time. Cancelling takes effect from the end of
the current paid period — it does not trigger any further charge, and
it does not refund or credit that period, which you keep in full.
Subscription fees are non-refundable once paid, and letters already
posted are not refundable. A bespoke council subscription also runs to
the end of its 30-day minimum term. Unspent letter credit stays on your
account.
- We may end the agreement on 30 days' notice, or immediately if
you breach section 5.
- On termination we stop processing your account and delete or anonymise
your data per our retention policy.
10. Changes to these terms
We may change these terms. Material changes will be notified by email at
least 14 days before they take effect. Continuing to use the service
after that means you accept them. If you do not accept a change, you may
cancel before it takes effect at no charge.
11. General
- Entire agreement. These terms, with our privacy notice, are the
whole agreement between us about the service and replace anything said
or written before. Any terms on your own purchase order do not apply.
- Assignment. You may not transfer your rights under these terms
without our written consent. We may transfer ours to a company that
takes over the service, provided your rights are preserved.
- Subcontractors. We may use suppliers (for example our print partner
and payment provider) to perform our obligations. We remain responsible
to you for what they do on our behalf.
- Force majeure. Neither of us is liable for a delay or failure caused
by something outside our reasonable control. This does not excuse your
obligation to pay for what has already been supplied.
- Notices. Notices to us go to hello@planandpost.co.uk or our
registered address. Notices to you go to the email address on your
account.
- No waiver. If we do not enforce a right straight away, we do not
lose it.
- Severability. If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest
continues to apply.
- Third parties. Nobody other than you and us has any right to enforce
these terms.
12. Law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and its
courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
