Website terms

These terms cover your use of the stamp.expert website. By using the site, you agree to them. Please read them, along with the other terms that may apply to you (section 2).

2. Other terms that may apply to you

• If your firm uses Stamp: our Firm terms and Data processing terms.
• If you're a homebuyer using our online check: our Client terms.
• For everyone: our Privacy notice and Cookie policy.

If these website terms conflict with one of those, the other terms win.

3. What Stamp is, and what it isn't

Stamp is an online tool. It asks a homebuyer questions about their purchase, sorts the purchase as standard or non-standard for stamp duty (non-standard means something in the answers can change how much stamp duty is due), and keeps a time-stamped record of the answers and the result. Where a purchase is non-standard, it offers the homebuyer a choice of independent tax advisers.

Stamp is not a law firm or a firm of tax advisers, and it doesn't give tax or legal advice. Stamp has no in-house advisers. Advice comes only from the independent adviser a homebuyer chooses and instructs.

Stamp covers Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), which applies to property in England and Northern Ireland. It doesn't cover Land and Buildings Transaction Tax in Scotland or Land Transaction Tax in Wales.

4. Information on this site

The articles, guides, examples, case studies and interactive tools on this site are general information. They aren't advice about your situation, and you shouldn't rely on them to work out tax. Interactive examples are illustrations, not calculations. Tax rules change, and while we work to keep the site accurate and up to date, we can't promise that every page is.

5. Using the site

You may view, print and share pages from the site for your own information, or within your firm. You must not:

• copy, scrape or re-publish our content, questions or logic, or use them to build a competing product
• try to get into parts of the site or our systems you're not allowed into, or test, probe or disrupt them
• upload viruses or other harmful code, or attack the site (for example, with a denial-of-service attack)
• use the site to break the law or to mislead anyone
• frame the site or suggest a link with us that doesn't exist

You may link to our home page in a way that is fair and legal. We may suspend your access if you break these rules. Attacking the site may be a criminal offence under the Computer Misuse Act 1990, and we may report it to the authorities.

6. Our content and brand

We own, or have a licence to use, the content, design, software and brand on this site. Using the site doesn't give you any rights in them, beyond what section 5 allows.

7. Links to other sites

Links to other websites are for your information. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for them.

8. Changes and availability

We may change, suspend or withdraw the site or any part of it. We don't promise it will always be available or free of errors. We may update these terms; the version and date at the top of this page show which version applies.

9. Our responsibility to you

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law doesn't allow us to limit.

If you're a consumer: we provide the site for private, domestic use. We're not responsible for business losses, or for losses we couldn't reasonably have foreseen. Our liability for a Stamp check you buy is set out in the Client terms.

If you're using the site for business: to the extent the law allows, we won't be liable for lost profit, business, revenue, goodwill or data, or any indirect loss, arising from use of the site or reliance on its content. Our total liability to you in connection with the site is limited to £100. Our liability to firms using Stamp is set out in the Firm terms.

10. Law and courts

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Business users agree that the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. If you're a consumer living in Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, and Northern Ireland law protections still apply to you.
