Terms of Service

Last updated: 9 November 2026

1. Who we are

Retrofit Brief is a subscription information service operated by Januário Sacalumbo ("we", "us"). You can contact us at hello@retrofitbrief.co.uk.

2. The service

Retrofit Brief monitors official public procurement sources in the United Kingdom and Ireland and sends subscribers summaries of energy and decarbonisation tenders that match the profile they give us. Depending on the plan, the service includes daily alerts, a weekly pipeline summary, a monthly market report, tender-pack summaries and a searchable archive, as described on our pricing page.

The service is intended for businesses. By subscribing you confirm that you are acting for business purposes.

3. Accuracy and your own judgement

Our alerts are based on information published by public bodies, which we do not control. Our scores, summaries and demand levels are our own assessment and may contain errors or omissions. Always read the official notice and tender documents before deciding to bid. We do not guarantee that you will find, enter or win any contract.

4. Subscriptions and payment

Subscriptions are sold by Lemon Squeezy, our online reseller and merchant of record, which handles payment, invoicing and applicable sales taxes such as VAT. Prices shown on our site exclude VAT. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each monthly or annual period until cancelled. Lemon Squeezy's own terms also apply to your purchase.

5. Cancellation and refunds

You may cancel at any time; your access continues until the end of the period already paid. Our refund commitments are set out in our Refund and Cancellation Policy.

6. Acceptable use

Your subscription is for use within your own organisation by the number of users your plan allows. You may not resell, republish or systematically redistribute our alerts, summaries or reports. The underlying public notices remain available from their official sources under their own licences.

7. Intellectual property

Our summaries, scores, reports and website content belong to us. Public sector information we reproduce is used under the Open Government Licence v3.0 or the applicable licence of its publisher, and remains subject to that licence.

8. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, business or contracts arising from your use of the service. Our total liability to you in any twelve-month period is limited to the fees you paid us in that period. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

9. Changes

We may update these terms or our prices. We will give subscribers at least 30 days' notice by email of any change that affects them. Founding-member prices are fixed for as long as the subscription continues without interruption.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction over any dispute.
