Terms of service

Last updated 2 September 2026

These terms explain the basis on which you may use this website, and the terms on which I provide maths tuition, freelance web development and photography. Please read them before using the site or booking any service. If there is anything here you do not understand or would like changed, contact me at 070806harrison@gmail.com before we agree anything.

1. Who I am


This website is operated by Harrison Baghurst, trading as Harrison Baghurst Digital, based in Durham, England. Throughout these terms, "I", "me" and "my" refer to Harrison Baghurst, and "you" and "your" refer to the person using this site or booking a service.

You can reach me by email at 070806harrison@gmail.com. My full postal address is available on request by email, and I will provide it before we enter into any contract.

2. Accepting these terms


By using this website you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

This site is intended for people aged 18 or over. If you are under 18, please ask a parent or guardian to contact me on your behalf.

3. Using this website


You may use this site for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. You must not:

  • use automated systems to scrape, harvest or systematically copy content from the site
  • attempt to circumvent the rate limiting, spam protection or any other security measure on the site
  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its server or any connected system
  • introduce viruses, malicious code or anything else designed to harm the site or its users
  • use the site unlawfully, fraudulently, or in a way that interferes with anyone else's use of it

If you breach these terms, I may withdraw your right to use the site.

4. Intellectual property


All content on this site, including the text, photographs, design, layout and underlying code, is owned by me or licensed to me, and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights.

You may view pages and print or download extracts for your own personal reference. You may not otherwise copy, reproduce, republish, distribute or exploit any part of this site without my written permission. Specific terms for the photographs are set out in section 8.

Third-party names, logos, screenshots and trade marks appearing on this site belong to their respective owners, and are shown for identification and illustration only.

5. Contacting me


The contact form on this site is provided for genuine enquiries. You must not use it to send unlawful, abusive, misleading or deliberately misleading content, or to send spam or unsolicited marketing.

The form is rate limited to protect it from misuse, so it may be temporarily unavailable if those limits are reached. I aim to reply promptly, but I do not guarantee a reply or any particular response time, and you should not rely on the form for anything urgent.

Please do not send confidential or sensitive personal information through the form. Messages are delivered to me by email across the internet. How I handle what you send is set out in my privacy policy.

6. Maths tuition


This section sets out the full terms on which I provide maths tuition. It applies alongside the rest of these terms.

6.1 Who the contract is with

The tuition contract is between me and the person who books and pays for the lessons. Where the student is under 18, that person must be a parent or legal guardian, who is responsible for agreeing these terms and for payment. A student under 18 cannot enter into this contract themselves.

Where the student is 18 or over, they may book and pay for lessons directly.

6.2 Booking and forming a contract

Nothing on this website is an offer to provide tuition. The descriptions, pricing and other information on the maths tuition page are provided for general information only. Making an enquiry does not create a contract.

A contract is formed only when I confirm to you in writing, by email or by message, that I have accepted your booking and agreed a lesson time with you. Lessons are scheduled through ChalkieChalkie.com.

6.3 The first lesson

I deliver the first lesson before any payment is made, so that you can get a feel for my tutoring before committing to anything. You only pay for the first lesson if you decide to continue with tuition after it.

If you decide not to continue, the first lesson is free and nothing is owed.

If you continue on a pay as you go basis, the first lesson becomes chargeable at £30 and is payable alongside your next booking. If you continue by taking a block purchase instead, the first lesson is absorbed into that block and counts as the first of its ten hours, so there is no separate charge for it. Taking a block after the first lesson therefore costs £270 for ten hours in total, rather than the £300 those same ten hours would come to at the pay as you go rate.

6.4 How lessons are delivered

Lessons last one hour unless we agree otherwise, and are delivered online. Video calls take place over WhatsApp, and ChalkieChalkie.com is used as a collaborative workspace and for scheduling. Before each lesson we discuss the outcome you are looking for, whether that is revision or teaching a new topic. After each lesson I leave written feedback on ChalkieChalkie.com.

You will need a reliable internet connection, a device with a working camera and microphone, and access to WhatsApp and ChalkieChalkie.com. If a lesson is significantly disrupted by a technical problem on my side, I will reschedule it or credit the time at no charge. If the disruption is on your side, I will do what I reasonably can within the booked time, but the lesson remains chargeable.

6.5 Pricing

Tuition is offered on a pay as you go basis at £30 per hour, or as a block purchase of 10 hours for £270, which works out at £27 per hour. Both options receive the same effort and quality of tutoring, and no preferential treatment is given between them.

Prices shown on this website may change. The price that applies to you is the one in force at the time I confirm your booking. A price change never affects hours you have already purchased.

6.6 Payment

Payment is made by bank transfer. I will provide my bank details when payment is due. No payment details are ever collected through this website.

With the exception of the first lesson, payment must be received before a lesson begins. Block purchases are paid in full in advance. If payment has not been received by the time a lesson is due to start, I may decline to deliver it, and the cancellation terms in section 6.8 may apply.

6.7 Block purchases: expiry and refunds

Block purchase hours do not expire. There is no deadline by which you must use them.

You may ask me to refund your unused hours at any time. Because the £27 hourly rate is a discount for buying ten hours together, that discount does not survive a refund: refunds are calculated at the pay as you go rate of £30 for the lessons you have already had. In other words, your refund is £270 less £30 for each lesson delivered, and is never less than zero. Where your first lesson was absorbed into the block under section 6.3, it counts as one of the lessons delivered for this purpose.

By way of example, if you have had 4 lessons, your refund is £270 less £120, which is £150. If you have had 9 lessons, your refund is £270 less £270, which is nil. This means that in practice the tenth lesson carries no refund value, because it represents the benefit of the discount itself.

Refunds are paid by bank transfer within 14 days of us agreeing the amount.

6.8 Cancelling and rescheduling lessons

If you need to cancel or move a lesson, please give me at least 2 clear days' notice. Lessons cancelled with at least that much notice are rescheduled or credited at no charge. Lessons cancelled with less than 2 days' notice are charged in full. This policy is applied at my discretion, and I will normally be flexible in cases of illness or emergency.

If I need to cancel a lesson, I will give you as much notice as I reasonably can, and will either reschedule it at no charge or credit or refund the lesson, whichever you prefer.

6.9 Your legal right to cancel within 14 days

Because we agree tuition at a distance rather than face to face, you have a legal right under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 to cancel the contract within 14 days of it being formed, without giving any reason. This is separate from, and in addition to, the arrangements in sections 6.7 and 6.8.

To cancel, simply tell me in writing, by email at 070806harrison@gmail.com or by message, before the 14 days are up. A clear statement that you are cancelling is enough; you do not have to use any particular form of words.

If you ask me to begin lessons within that 14 day period, you are expressly requesting that the service starts before the cancellation period ends. You keep your right to cancel, but you must pay for the lessons already delivered, charged at the pay as you go rate of £30 per hour in proportion to what has been supplied.

I will refund any balance due to you within 14 days of being told that you are cancelling, using the same payment method you used, unless we agree otherwise. Nothing in these terms removes your statutory rights.

6.10 Ending tuition

Either of us may stop tuition at any time by telling the other. There is no notice period and no cancellation fee. Any unused block purchase hours are refunded on the basis set out in section 6.7.

6.11 Safeguarding and contact with students

Your child's safety is of the utmost importance to me. I hold a current DBS check, which you may request to see at any point.

In my experience, having direct contact with the student through WhatsApp is the most efficient arrangement, as it removes the need for a parent to act as a messenger. I do not contact the student outside of lessons unless this has been arranged in advance, though I am happy to answer a student's work-related questions between lessons.

If you would prefer that I did not have direct contact with your child, tell me and all communication will go through you instead. This will not affect the tuition in any way. As a parent or guardian you may ask to see lesson feedback at any time; it is posted on ChalkieChalkie.com after each lesson.

6.12 What I do and do not promise

I will provide tuition with reasonable care and skill, as required by the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

I cannot guarantee any particular grade, mark or exam outcome. Results depend on many things outside my control, not least the student's own work between lessons. Any testimonials shown on this site describe the experience of individual students and are not a promise that you will achieve a similar result.

7. Web development services


The web development page on this site describes my experience and previous work. It is background information, not an offer of services, and no contract arises from it.

Freelance work is agreed individually. Each engagement is covered by its own written agreement setting out the scope of work, timescales, fees, payment schedule, and ownership of the intellectual property in what is produced. Ownership of that intellectual property is agreed on a project by project basis in that agreement, so there is no default position stated here. Please make sure you are satisfied with those terms before work begins.

The projects shown in my portfolio are illustrative. Some were built for clients and remain their property; others are personal projects. Where work was done for a client, it is shown with their agreement.

8. Photography and image licensing


All photographs on this site are my own work and I own the copyright in them. You may not copy, download, reproduce, redistribute, modify or use them for any purpose without my permission. Saving an image from the gallery does not give you a licence to use it.

Full quality copies of gallery photographs are available on request. Pricing is quoted per request, as it depends on the image and on what you intend to use it for.

Unless we agree otherwise in writing, buying a copy gives you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to keep, display and print that image for your own private use. It does not transfer copyright, which remains with me. Under a personal licence you may not resell or sub-license the image, use it commercially or in advertising, use it on an account or channel that promotes a business, or make it available for others to download.

Commercial licences are available by separate agreement and are priced case by case. If you would like to use a photograph commercially, contact me at 070806harrison@gmail.com and we can discuss it.

9. Links to other websites


This site links to other websites, including ChalkieChalkie.com and pages relating to my projects. Those links are provided for convenience and information. I have no control over the content of those sites and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss arising from your use of them.

10. Availability of this website


This website is made available free of charge and on an "as is" basis. I do not guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted or free from errors, and I may change, suspend or withdraw all or any part of it without notice.

The content is provided for general information only. While I take reasonable care to keep it accurate and up to date, I make no warranty that it is complete, accurate or current, and it is not advice on which you should rely.

11. My liability to you


Nothing in these terms limits or excludes my liability for:

  • death or personal injury caused by my negligence
  • fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation
  • any other matter for which it would be unlawful to limit or exclude liability

If you are a consumer, I am responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of my breaking these terms or failing to use reasonable care and skill, but I am not responsible for loss or damage that is not foreseeable. I do not in any way exclude or limit your statutory rights, including your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

This website is supplied for domestic and private use. If you use it for any commercial or business purpose, I have no liability to you for loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption or loss of business opportunity.

Subject to the paragraphs above, my total liability in connection with a tuition contract is limited to the amount you have paid me under that contract. For freelance web development work, liability is set out in the individual written agreement for that engagement.

12. Your privacy


How I collect and use personal data through this site is set out in my privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.

13. Changes to these terms


I may update these terms from time to time. The version that applies to your use of the site is the one published at the time you use it, and the version that applies to a service is the one in force when your contract was formed. Changes do not apply retrospectively to an existing tuition contract unless we both agree. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.

14. Governing law


These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. If you are a consumer living in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of the country you live in.

15. How to contact me


If you have any questions about these terms, email me at 070806harrison@gmail.com. I am based in Durham, England, and my full postal address is available on request.
