Section 01
1. Use of the website
These terms apply to your use of https://aaascaffoldinguk.co.uk, operated by AAA Scaffolding UK Limited (“we”, “us” or “our”). By using this website, you agree to these website terms. If you do not accept them, please stop using the website.
1.1 You may use the website for lawful purposes only. You must respect applicable laws and the rights of other visitors. The website is intended for adults; quote requests or instructions should be submitted by someone aged 18 or over who has authority to act for the relevant customer or business.
1.2 You must not misuse the website. In particular, you must not:
- Try to access systems, accounts, servers or information without authorisation.

Section 02
2. Information on the website
2.1 Website information is intended as general guidance about our services. We aim to keep it useful and accurate, but it may contain errors or become outdated. Subject to rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, we do not promise that every item will always be complete, accurate or current.
2.2 Service descriptions and examples are not a binding offer to carry out work. Suitability, scope, access arrangements and any design or safety requirements must be assessed for the particular project.
2.3 A quotation and the written terms agreed for a job take precedence over general website descriptions relating to that job. Website information does not replace professional, technical or site-specific safety advice.
Section 03
3. Quotes, services and contracts
3.1 Sending a form, email or telephone enquiry does not by itself create a contract, reserve scaffolding or confirm a start date.
3.2 A contract with AAA Scaffolding UK Limited is formed when we confirm acceptance of the relevant order or instruction in writing, or when a separate agreement is signed, subject to the applicable terms of business supplied for that work.
3.3 The agreed project terms will set out the relevant scope, charges, programme and responsibilities, including site access and health and safety arrangements. These website terms do not introduce a standard hire period, payment schedule or cancellation charge.
3.4 Nothing in these website terms removes statutory rights that apply to a customer or overrides information or commitments that the law makes binding.
Section 04
4. Intellectual property
4.1 Rights in the website’s text, design, branding, photographs and other materials remain with AAA Scaffolding UK Limited, its licensors or the relevant third-party rights holders. Third-party names and logos remain the property of their respective owners.
4.2 You may read, print or download pages for your own information and to consider our services. This permission does not transfer ownership of the material or permit commercial republication.
4.3 Unless we give written permission or the law allows it, you must not:
- Reproduce or redistribute substantial parts of the website for commercial use.
- Alter downloaded material in a way that misrepresents its source or meaning.
- Extract photographs, artwork or other media for separate reuse.
- Use our branding in a way that suggests a relationship or endorsement that does not exist.
Section 06
6. Third-party links
6.1 Links to Google, Yell, Facebook, LinkedIn and other external services are provided for convenience. Those services are operated independently of us.
6.2 We do not control their content, availability or data-handling practices. Including a link does not mean that we guarantee everything on the destination website.
6.3 Check the relevant provider’s terms, privacy information and cookie settings when using an external service.
Section 07
7. Liability
7.1 Nothing in these terms excludes or limits responsibility for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other responsibility that the law does not allow us to exclude or limit. Consumers retain their applicable statutory rights.
7.2 Subject to paragraph 7.1, if you use the website for business purposes, we exclude liability to the extent permitted by law for lost profits, revenue, business opportunities, goodwill, data or anticipated savings, and for indirect or consequential losses connected with using or being unable to use the website.
7.3 For consumers, any limitation is subject to mandatory consumer law. These terms do not exclude responsibility for losses where doing so would be unlawful or unfair.
7.4 These provisions concern website use. Liability for scaffolding work, supply or hire is addressed in the relevant project agreement, subject to applicable law.
Section 08
8. Business indemnity
8.1 If you use the website on behalf of a business, and to the extent permitted by law, that business must reimburse our reasonable losses, costs and third-party claims directly caused by its unlawful misuse of the website or material breach of these terms.
8.2 This provision does not require reimbursement for losses caused by our own negligence or breach, and it does not apply to visitors acting as consumers. Any claim under it must be reasonably supported, and reasonable steps must be taken to avoid unnecessary loss.
Section 09
9. Changes to the website and terms
9.1 We may amend website content as our services and information change. Not every page or item is updated at the same time.
9.2 Revised website terms will be published on this page with an updated date. Please check the current version when using the website.
9.3 Continued website use after revised terms are published is subject to the updated website terms. Changes to this page do not retrospectively alter an existing project contract without a lawful basis or the agreement required for that contract.
Section 10
10. Suspension or withdrawal
10.1 We do not guarantee uninterrupted website access. Pages or features may be unavailable because of maintenance, technical problems or operational changes.
10.2 We may restrict, suspend or withdraw website access for business, security or operational reasons. This does not remove obligations under an existing project agreement or any rights that cannot be excluded by law.
Section 11
11. Governing law and jurisdiction
11.1 These website terms and disputes relating to them are governed by Scots law, subject to any mandatory legal protections that apply to you.
11.2 For business users, the Scottish courts have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes relating to these website terms.
