Please read them carefully before placing an order.
1. WHAT THESE TERMS COVER
1.1 These terms
These terms and conditions (the "Terms") apply to your access to and use of our website at https://bridgepacks.lionbridgepr.com (the "Website") and to your purchase and use of the Compliance Pack and any Generated Documents. They set out the basis on which we sell the Compliance Pack to you.
1.2 Business customers only
The Compliance Pack is offered and sold only to schools, academy trusts and other education providers acting in the course of a business or profession. It is not offered to, and must not be purchased by, consumers. By placing an order you confirm that you are acting for the purposes of a business and not as a consumer, and you acknowledge that consumer rights (including any consumer right to cancel or to a statutory cooling-off period) do not apply to your purchase.
1.3 Acceptance
By ticking the box to accept these Terms, completing the checkout process, or accessing or using the Compliance Pack, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a School, you warrant that you are authorised to bind that School and that references to "you" and "your" are to the School.
1.4 Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time by posting the revised version on the Website. The version of the Terms in force when you place an order will govern that order.
2. ABOUT THE PRODUCT AND HOW IT WORKS
2.1 The Compliance Pack
The Compliance Pack is a document-generation tool that produces tailored draft documents to support schools preparing for their responsibilities under the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025. It is not software, a software licence, or a SaaS product, and it is not a certification, accreditation or compliance assessment.
2.2 How it works
The Compliance Pack works as follows:
- you complete an online questionnaire (the "Questionnaire") with information about your School, its premises and its staff;
- our system, which uses artificial intelligence and our own internal content, uses your answers to generate a set of tailored documents (the "Generated Documents"), which may include draft evacuation, lockdown and staff communication procedures and similar documents; and
- following payment, the Generated Documents are made available to you as downloadable files (typically in Microsoft Word format).
2.3 AI-assisted generation
You acknowledge that the Generated Documents are produced automatically using artificial intelligence applied to the information you supply through the Questionnaire and to our internal content. The output depends on the accuracy and completeness of the information you provide, and automated generation may produce errors, omissions or content that is not suitable for your circumstances. You are responsible for reviewing all Generated Documents before use.
3. GUIDANCE ONLY - IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
3.1 Guidance only
The Compliance Pack and the Generated Documents are provided for general guidance and drafting-support purposes only. They are templates and starting points that you must review, adapt and complete to reflect your School's actual circumstances.
3.2 No compliance warranty
We do not warrant, represent or guarantee that:
- the Compliance Pack or any Generated Documents will make your School compliant with, satisfy, or evidence compliance with the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 or any related regulations, statutory guidance or requirements;
- the Generated Documents are complete, accurate or sufficient for your School's needs beyond reflecting the information you provided; or
- using the Compliance Pack will discharge any legal, regulatory or statutory obligation that applies to your School.
3.3 No advice
We do not provide legal, security, regulatory or compliance advice, and nothing in the Compliance Pack or the Generated Documents constitutes such advice. We do not assess, confirm or certify whether your School or its premises meet any statutory or regulatory requirement. If you need advice on regulatory interpretation, statutory compliance or security obligations, you should consult a suitably qualified specialist.
3.4 Documents are only part of your obligations
Having the Generated Documents is only one part of preparing for your responsibilities. You remain solely responsible for:
- understanding the obligations that apply to your School and premises;
- reviewing, adapting and completing the Generated Documents so that they are accurate and appropriate for your School;
- implementing the procedures set out in the Generated Documents in practice; and
- training your staff and testing your arrangements on an ongoing basis.
3.5 No endorsement
The Compliance Pack is not endorsed, approved or accredited by the UK Government, the Department for Education, any regulator or any public authority. Any reference to legislation or guidance is for context only.
4. ACCOUNTS
4.1 Creating an account
You may need to create an account to purchase and access the Compliance Pack. You must provide accurate, current and complete information when creating your account and keep that information up to date.
4.2 Account security
You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity carried out under your account. You must notify us promptly if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account. We are not liable for any loss arising from your failure to keep your credentials secure.
4.3 Suspension
We may suspend or terminate your account, and your access to the Compliance Pack, if you breach these Terms, if we reasonably suspect misuse, or if required to protect the security or integrity of the Website.
5. ORDERS
5.1 Placing an order
You place an order by completing the Questionnaire and following the on-screen checkout process. Your order is an offer to purchase the Compliance Pack on these Terms.
5.2 When a contract is formed
A binding contract is formed when we accept your order, which we do by confirming your order and making the Generated Documents available to you. We may decline any order at our discretion, in which case we will not charge you or will refund any amount already taken.

Unless otherwise stated, the price is a one-off charge that includes access to the Compliance Pack, and up to twelve regenerations of the Generated Documents, for a period of 12 months from the date of your order (the "Access Period"). Following the Access Period, you may purchase an optional refresh at the price displayed at checkout at that time to extend your Access Period and regenerations. If you do not purchase a refresh, you keep the Generated Documents already produced but will not be able to generate further documents.
5.4 Accuracy of your information
You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information you provide through the Questionnaire. The Generated Documents are produced on the basis of that information, and we are not responsible for any error or deficiency in the Generated Documents that results from inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information you provide.
