Bitcoin Mining Consultancy Services Terms

These terms apply to consultancy supplied by The Mining Shop UK Limited to a customer acting wholly or mainly for business purposes. Services may include feasibility and site reviews, acquisition or technical due diligence, mining-farm audits, earnings and ROI modelling, power and tariff analysis, grid or curtailment support, cooling and heat-reuse studies, equipment selection, procurement support, project planning and coordination.

The binding scope is the accepted proposal, quotation, statement of work or Order Confirmation. It identifies the services, assumptions, deliverables, exclusions, fees, timetable and any named third-party specialists. Website descriptions are invitations to discuss an engagement and are not a fixed scope or promise of outcome.

A contract forms when we confirm acceptance in writing, the customer accepts a proposal, or we begin work at the customer's request. If documents conflict, the accepted statement of work or Order Confirmation takes precedence, followed by these terms and then our general Terms and Conditions.

The customer must provide timely, accurate and complete information about the site, ownership or authority, electrical supply, tariffs, equipment, network constraints, planning status, environmental conditions, intended use, budget and timetable. We may rely on information supplied by the customer and identified third parties unless the agreed scope requires independent verification.

Estimates of hashrate, availability, energy use, revenue, profitability, payback, equipment value, heat output, grid capacity, programme or cost are scenario-based professional opinions, not guarantees. Results can change with network difficulty, asset prices, tariffs, curtailment, weather, equipment condition, regulation, tax, planning, grid decisions and other matters outside our control. The customer remains responsible for its investment and implementation decisions.

Deliverables are prepared for the named customer, purpose and date. They must not be relied on for a different site, transaction or purpose, or by a third party, without our written agreement. Drafts are provisional. The customer must review factual assumptions and raise material errors promptly.

Fees and payment stages are stated in the proposal or Order Confirmation. Advanced consultancy reports are currently advertised from £1,500 plus VAT, but the final fee depends on scope and is not fixed until quoted. Unless stated otherwise, approved travel, accommodation, laboratory work, surveys, applications and third-party specialist costs are additional.

Work begins after any required deposit or advance payment has cleared and requested information is available. Time estimates are targets and may move where access, information, approvals, utilities, authorities, suppliers or third parties cause delay.

A scope change, new assumption or additional meeting, visit, calculation or revision may require a written variation covering price and timetable. The customer may cancel in writing, but must pay for work performed, committed third-party cost and non-cancellable travel or procurement up to cancellation. We may pause or end work for non-payment, unsafe access, illegality, sanctions risk, misleading information, abusive conduct or a material failure to cooperate. Any refund is limited to prepaid work not performed after lawful deductions.

We provide Bitcoin-mining and project consultancy within the agreed scope. We do not provide regulated investment advice, financial promotion, legal advice, tax advice, formal valuation, insurance advice, planning approval, grid approval or an electrical installation certificate unless the proposal expressly identifies an appropriately authorised specialist responsible for that service. Electrical design, installation and energisation must be completed and certified by competent persons under the applicable appointment. The customer must obtain independent legal, tax, financial, planning, environmental and insurance advice where needed.

We use reasonable care and skill. We do not guarantee planning or grid consent, finance, supplier performance, equipment availability, energy price, mining income, profitability, completion date or uninterrupted operation. Subject to liabilities that cannot lawfully be limited, our aggregate liability connected with an engagement is limited to the fees paid for the affected consultancy scope. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profit, lost mining rewards, loss caused by inaccurate customer information, or implementation contrary to the deliverable or professional advice. Any limitation is intended to satisfy the reasonableness requirement of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977.

Pre-existing intellectual property remains with its owner. On full payment, the customer may use final deliverables internally for the agreed purpose; templates, methods, models, know-how and reusable material remain ours. Each party must protect confidential information, subject to disclosure required by law or professional advisers. Personal data is handled under our Privacy Policy. Neither party may assign the engagement without written consent except as part of a lawful business transfer. English law governs and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, unless the accepted Order Confirmation states otherwise.
