1. About these Terms

These Terms and Conditions apply to your use of the main company website operated by THAMES RIVERSIDE LIMITED, trading as THAMES RIVERSIDE LTD. and Thames Riverside.

These Terms are intended to govern general website use, enquiries, information pages, collaboration pages, and communication through the website. They do not replace any separate written agreement, consultancy contract, student enrolment contract, course terms, platform terms, payment terms, privacy policy, or cookie notice that may also apply.

If there is a conflict between these Terms and a specific written agreement that we have entered into with you or your institution, the specific written agreement will take priority for the matter it covers.

2. Who we are

THAMES RIVERSIDE LIMITED is a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 16631176. Our registered office is 6 Mount Vernon, London, England, NW3 6QS.

We operate as an international education, consultancy and innovation platform focusing on creative industries, design education, technology, international collaboration and higher education development.

3. What this website does

Our main company website provides information about our company, educational direction, international collaborations, consultancy services, faculty networks, programme concepts, institutional partnerships and related activities.

The website may include information about programmes, workshops, lectures, consultancy services, research support, partnership opportunities, and links to a separate course website or learning platform.

Information on this website is provided for general information and communication purposes. It does not automatically create a contract between you and us, and it does not constitute an offer of admission, a guaranteed course place, a guaranteed partnership, a visa route, funding approval, university admission, accreditation, endorsement, or institutional approval.

4. Separate course website and learning platform

We may operate or link to a separate course website, learning management system, or online course platform. That separate course site may contain course descriptions, enrolment forms, payment pages, learning materials, student communications, assessments, workshops or online learning content.

Your use of the separate course website or platform may be subject to additional terms, including Student Terms, Course Terms, payment terms, refund terms, platform terms, privacy notices and acceptable use rules. You should read those terms before registering for a course or making payment.

The main company website is not intended to contain the full student contract. Before any paid course is sold, students or purchasers should be given clear pre-contract information, including the course provider, course content, price, delivery method, cancellation rights, refund policy, start date, access period, complaints process and any important limitations.

5. Higher Education Consultancy

We provide or may provide Higher Education Consultancy services for international higher education institutions, education providers, schools, academic teams and related organisations.

These services may include internationalisation strategy, curriculum and teaching enhancement, research development support, academic networking, partnership-building, staff development, research proposal support, academic communication, project planning, and support for institutions seeking to navigate international education environments.

Consultancy information on this website is general. Any consultancy project, institutional advisory work, research support, partnership development or bespoke service will be subject to a separate written proposal, quotation, scope of work, contract or letter of engagement.

Unless expressly agreed in writing, our consultancy services do not provide legal advice, immigration advice, tax advice, financial advice, formal accreditation advice, or guaranteed regulatory approval. Where such advice is required, clients should consult appropriately qualified professionals.

6. No guarantees of admission, recognition or partnership

We may support learners, institutions and partners by providing information, education services, consultancy, academic development, portfolio guidance, project support, and international collaboration opportunities.

However, we do not guarantee admission to any university, college, school, course, programme or professional body. We do not guarantee the outcome of any visa application, accreditation process, institutional partnership, research funding application, employment application, publication submission or commercial collaboration.

Any reference to universities, institutions, collaborators, academic staff or industry partners must be understood carefully. Unless clearly stated and authorised, a reference to an institution or person does not mean formal endorsement, formal accreditation, legal partnership, agency authority, or guaranteed progression.

7. Use of this website

You agree to use this website lawfully, responsibly and only for legitimate personal, educational, academic, institutional, professional or partnership-related purposes.

You must not misuse the website by introducing viruses, malware, harmful code, automated scraping, unauthorised access attempts, denial-of-service attacks, misleading enquiries, impersonation, unlawful content, or any action that may damage the website, our systems, our reputation, or other users.

We may suspend or restrict access to the website if we reasonably believe that a user has misused the website or breached these Terms.

8. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, all website content, including text, structure, design, brand materials, programme descriptions, images, graphics, logos, downloadable materials, course outlines, consultancy descriptions and educational frameworks, belongs to THAMES RIVERSIDE LIMITED or is licensed to us.

You may view, download or print reasonable extracts from the website for your personal, educational, internal institutional or non-commercial reference use only.

You must not copy, reproduce, republish, translate, adapt, sell, licence, distribute, scrape, commercially exploit or use our website content, course materials, brand materials or educational frameworks without our prior written permission, except where permitted by law.

9. Enquiries, forms and materials submitted to us

If you contact us through the website, email, forms, messaging links or other communication channels, you are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate and that you have permission to share it.

You should not send confidential institutional information, unpublished research data, personal data about others, commercially sensitive documents, student records, or legally privileged material unless we have agreed an appropriate process for receiving and handling such information.

If you submit materials to us for enquiry, review, portfolio discussion, consultancy scoping or collaboration exploration, you grant us permission to read, assess and use those materials for the purpose of responding to your enquiry or preparing a potential proposal. Ownership of your original materials remains with you unless otherwise agreed in writing.

10. Third-party links, platforms and services

This website may contain links to third-party websites, universities, course platforms, payment providers, online meeting tools, social media platforms, application systems, analytics tools or external resources.

Third-party websites and platforms are not controlled by us. We are not responsible for their content, terms, privacy practices, accuracy, availability, fees, security or decisions. You should read the relevant third-party terms and policies before using those services.

11. Accuracy, changes and availability

We aim to keep website information clear, accurate and up to date, but we do not guarantee that all content will always be complete, current or free from errors.

Programme descriptions, consultancy services, faculty involvement, partnership discussions, institutional references, pricing indications, timelines and delivery models may change as projects develop.

We may update, suspend, remove or change website content at any time. We do not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or error-free.

12. Payments, proposals and contracts

The main company website is primarily for information, communication and enquiry. Any paid service, consultancy project, workshop, course, institutional partnership or bespoke arrangement should be confirmed through a separate written process.

Where we provide a quotation, invoice, proposal, letter of engagement, course offer, enrolment agreement or other written contract, that document will set out the relevant scope, price, payment schedule, cancellation terms, refund position, delivery obligations and any limitations.

No contract for a paid service is formed merely because you browse this website or send a general enquiry. A contract is formed only when the relevant acceptance, payment or written confirmation process has been completed according to the terms provided for that service.

13. Consumer rights and cancellation

Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection law.

If we sell services, digital content or online courses directly to individual consumers online, additional legal information may need to be provided before purchase, including clear details about price, delivery, cancellation rights, refunds and when the service or digital access starts.

Where digital content, online course access or a service begins during a cancellation period, special rules may apply. Any course sales page, enrolment agreement or student terms should explain this clearly before payment or access is provided.

14. Liability

We do not exclude or limit our liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for loss or damage arising from reliance on general website information, unavailable website access, external links, third-party platforms, unauthorised use of the website, or decisions made by external institutions, universities, regulators, funders, visa authorities, publishers or partners.

If you are using the website on behalf of an institution, organisation or business, you are responsible for ensuring that you have authority to do so, and you agree that institutional or commercial projects should be governed by a separate written agreement.

15. Privacy and cookies

We process personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Please read our Privacy Policy to understand what personal information we collect, how we use it, how long we keep it, who we share it with, and what rights you may have.

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies. Where required, we will provide cookie information and request consent for non-essential cookies, such as analytics or marketing cookies.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our website, services, legal requirements, course platform arrangements or business operations.

The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “last updated” date. Continued use of the website after changes are posted means that you accept the updated Terms.

17. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer, you may have mandatory rights in the country where you live that cannot be excluded by these Terms. If you are using the website on behalf of a business, institution or organisation, the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction unless otherwise agreed in writing.
