These terms govern your use of clearline.co.uk. They are not the terms on which we provide recovery or credit control services: those are set out in our terms of engagement, which are provided and signed separately before any work begins.
Clearline Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales (company number to follow), registered office [address]. We are a commercial debt recovery and outsourced credit control business. We are not a firm of solicitors and we do not provide legal services. We collect commercial debts owed by businesses; we do not collect consumer debt.
The statutory interest calculator and the ledger scan tool compute figures under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 from the information you enter; recovery likelihoods are estimates based on debt age. They are provided to help you understand your position, not to tell you what it is.
Nothing on this website is legal, financial or accounting advice. Statutory entitlements depend on the facts of each contract and each invoice, and recovery outcomes depend on matters outside our control, including a debtor's solvency. You should take your own advice before acting on anything you read here.
Recovery rates and other performance figures published on this site describe past outcomes across our own instructed cases, with the methodology and sample size stated alongside them. They are not a forecast or a guarantee of any particular result.
Where you send us an aged debtor report or similar data for a free scan, we use it to prepare a report for you and for no other purpose, and we handle it as described in our privacy notice. The report is free, carries no obligation, and is yours to keep whether or not you instruct us. We may decline to prepare a report, and we will tell you if we think a matter is not worth pursuing.
You may use this site for lawful purposes connected with considering or using our services. You may not attempt to gain unauthorised access to it, interfere with its operation, scrape it at scale, or use it to send unsolicited communications. All content, branding and design on this site belongs to Clearline Ltd or its licensors; you may print or share pages for your own business purposes but not republish them commercially without permission.
We aim to keep the site available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access, and we may change or withdraw any part of it. Where we link to other websites, we do not control them and are not responsible for their content.
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from reliance on information published on this site, or from any inability to use it. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. Our liability in respect of services we provide is dealt with in our terms of engagement.
We may update these terms; the date at the top shows when they last changed. They are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. Questions: hello@clearline.co.uk.
