Services Beyond Terms
In today’s digital landscape, the relationship between companies and users often feels transactional and impersonal. Most digital technology companies prioritise profits over people, treating their users as mere data points and reducing service interactions to simple exchanges. In such an environment, it’s easy for users to feel like just another number, disconnected from the brands they engage with and undervalued as individuals. We understand this reality, and we’re here to redefine it.
We’re Humane Mind Limited, a human-focused digital technology company that values people over profits, seeing them not as users but as humans deserving of dignity and respect. You can find us registered in England and Wales under company number 11753881. Our home base is at 37 Jubilee Road, Perivale, UB6 7HY, United Kingdom.
We believe that the Services we offer are not just about functionality or technology—they’re about creating meaningful and fulfilling experiences that resonate deeply with your personal journey. We go beyond the typical boundaries of digital services to offer you something profoundly personal and exceptionally valuable.
This “Terms of Use” is not just a list of rules and regulations. It’s a framework designed to foster a trusted environment where your rights are passionately respected. We recognise that behind every interaction, every click, and every experience, there’s a person with unique aspirations and needs. We pledge to honour your journey through our digital landscape by providing services that are empathetic and considerate of your personal story.
This commitment means we go beyond mere compliance with laws or industry standards. We lead with innovations that genuinely elevate your life, services that empower your freedom, and policies that rigorously protect your rights. Here, every step is taken with sincere regard for your individuality, dignity, and integrity.
As you engage with our services, remember that this is more than a contractual relationship; it’s a human connection built on mutual respect, trust, and a shared goal of creating a positive impact in the digital world. We invite you to read on and discover how this “Terms of Use” supports this vision, ensuring that every term serves not just a legal purpose but a human one.

This includes not copying, reproducing, or distributing any content that you do not own or have permission to use. Misusing or infringing on others’ intellectual property rights is not just against these Terms; it’s against the law.
c. Obtaining Permissions: Whether it’s using images, music, software, or any other form of content that belongs to someone else, always make sure you have the appropriate licenses or permissions. Unauthorized use of third-party content can lead to serious legal consequences.
d. Collaborating with Integrity: If you’re working on a project that involves third-party content, it’s your responsibility to ensure that all elements are used legally and ethically. This not only protects you but also fosters a creative environment based on respect and fairness.
By respecting these guidelines, you help safeguard the creative efforts of everyone involved and ensure that our Services remain a fair and enriching space for all.
11. Navigating Our Relationship
A. Understanding Our Relationship
We value our connection with you, but it’s crucial to be clear about the nature of our interaction.
Here’s how we see our relationship:
a. Independent Entities: You and Humane Mind operate as independent entities. These Terms do not create any form of partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between us. This means that you are not an agent or representative of Humane Mind, and you do not have the authority to bind us in any way.
b. Mutual Respect: While we function separately, we believe in fostering a relationship built on mutual respect and collaboration. Your feedback and interaction are vital to us, and we are committed to treating all users with consideration and integrity.
By recognising and respecting these boundaries, we can cultivate a positive and productive relationship, enhancing your experience with our Services while maintaining clarity and respect for each other’s roles.
B. Defining Third-Party Roles
Our primary focus is on nurturing a direct and meaningful relationship with you.
However, it’s essential to clarify how third parties fit into our Terms:
a. Exclusion of Third-Party Rights: These Terms are designed exclusively for your benefit and ours. No third party will have the rights or the ability to enforce any part of this agreement. This ensures that our focus remains on enhancing your experience and fulfilling our commitments to you.
b. Third-Party Involvement: While we may work with third-party service providers or partners to bring you enhanced offerings, they do not gain any rights from these Terms. Any agreements with them are separate and do not alter our obligations to you.
c. Legal Clarity: In line with the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, no individual or entity not directly involved in this agreement may enforce any part of it, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
d. Protection and Privacy: Your privacy and protection are our top priorities. We ensure that our third-party partners adhere to our standards, respecting your rights and information in all interactions.
Our Assurance
-
-
- Direct Relationship: Our agreement is solely between you and us, ensuring a clear and direct line of communication and responsibility.
- Trust and Security: By keeping third-party rights separate, we aim to build and maintain trust, ensuring that our commitments to you are steadfast and unaffected by external parties.

B. Where Our Services May Not Reach
The digital world knows few boundaries, and our website, www.humanemind.com, is designed to reach beyond our home base in Perivale, Greater London, UK. However, our Services are primarily tailored for users within the United Kingdom and may not be accessible or appropriate elsewhere.
Not all features, products, or services mentioned on the Website are available or suitable for use in every location. We reserve the right to determine the availability and scope of any feature, product, or service for different regions and audiences.
If you access the Services from a location where any aspect of the Services is prohibited by law, those Services are considered void in that area. Accessing the Website from outside the United Kingdom is at your discretion, and you are responsible for complying with your local laws. Please ensure that your interaction with the Website aligns with the regulations of your region.
Our commitment to providing a safe and compliant digital experience includes respecting local regulations. We encourage you to familiarise yourself with any restrictions that might apply in your location and use the Services accordingly. If in doubt, consult a legal advisor to understand any regional limitations.
We are dedicated to creating a digital space that everyone can enjoy, but we must respect legal boundaries. If the Services are void in your area, we regret that we cannot offer them to you at this time, but we hope to see you when the legal landscape changes. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining a respectful and lawful online environment.
C. Dealing with Unforeseen Events
We strive to provide uninterrupted access to our Services, but certain extraordinary circumstances beyond our control may affect our ability to do so. These events, known as Force Majeure Events, include natural disasters, acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, strikes, governmental actions, pandemics, and other unforeseen events that could disrupt our operations.
In the event of a Force Majeure Event, our obligations under these Terms may be temporarily suspended or delayed. We will make every effort to resume normal operations as soon as possible and keep you informed throughout the process.
Your understanding and patience during such times are greatly appreciated. We remain committed to supporting you and providing the best possible experience, even in challenging situations. Should you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to reach out to our support team.
