Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 24 August 2026

These terms cover using whito.co.uk and anything you buy from us. Using the site means you accept them. If you do not, please do not use it.

They are written to be understood. Where something protects us, we say so plainly rather than burying it.

1. Who we are

Whito Ltd, registered in England and Wales, company number 10918465, registered office 20-22 Wenlock Road, London N1 7GU. Registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office, reference ZA297473. Contact hello@whito.co.uk.

Whito Ltd is not VAT registered, so no VAT is added and the price you see is the total payable.

How we handle your information is set out in our privacy policy.

2. What Whito is, and what it is not

Whito publishes marketing guidance, research, reviews, cost benchmarks and a directory of UK businesses. We sell a small number of things, all listed on our pricing page.

Whito is not a marketing agency. We do not sell done-for-you or white-label marketing. We do not run your ad accounts, manage your budgets, or act on your behalf with third parties. If you want that, we will tell you honestly and point you elsewhere.

What we publish is information and opinion. It is not a guarantee of rankings, revenue or results, and it is not legal, financial or tax advice.

3. Free tools and reports

The directory listing, the AI readiness check and the growth report are free. No payment, no card, no obligation to buy anything afterwards.

Free results are based on what you give us and on information that is publicly available. We may limit or decline a free report at our discretion, for example where a request is automated or abusive.

4. What we sell

Current prices and what each thing includes are on the pricing page. At the time of writing that is the Whito Audit as a one-off payment, and Whito Intelligence research reports priced individually. Payments are processed by Stripe.

Scope, price and delivery are agreed in writing before any paid work starts. Work outside that scope needs a separate agreement. We do not offer performance guarantees, because nobody honest can.

5. Refunds

Where a page publishes a guarantee, that guarantee applies exactly as written on the page. That includes the 14 day guarantee on the Whito Audit.

For research reports: if a report does not contain what its product page says it contains, email us and we will refund it in full. Because these are digital products delivered straight away, please check the contents list before you buy.

Outside a published guarantee, fees for work already carried out are not refundable unless we agree otherwise. Refund requests go to hello@whito.co.uk.

6. Research reports and data

Each report page states the format, the length and what data is included. Reports are delivered by email as a PDF, with any data files stated on the product page. Prices are in pounds sterling and delivery is normally within one working day of payment.

Licence. A report is licensed to the buying organisation for its own internal use. You may quote from it and cite it publicly, with attribution to Whito and a link to whito.co.uk. You may not resell it, republish it in full, or pass the raw data files to anyone else without our written permission.

Business sales. Reports are sold to businesses for business purposes. If you are buying as a consumer rather than for a business, tell us before you buy and we will apply the statutory cancellation rights that come with distance sales of digital content.

Accuracy. Our research is collected and checked on stated dates, and the method is published with it. We correct errors when they are pointed out. See corrections, right of reply and removals.

7. Directory listings

Listing on Whito is free. We do not charge for placement and position is never for sale.

Some listings are created by the business, others we compile from the business’s own published information and from public registers. We write listings ourselves rather than publishing submitted text as it arrives, and we may edit, decline or remove any listing at our discretion. Nothing you send us obliges us to publish anything.

If you want a listing corrected or removed, ask and we will do it. The route is on the corrections page.

8. What you may send us

When you send information through a listing form, claim form, contact form or by email, you confirm that you are entitled to share it and that it is accurate.

Do not send anything that is false or misleading, infringes someone else’s copyright or trade marks, is defamatory, contains another person’s personal data without their agreement, or is otherwise unlawful.

9. Using the site

Please do not use the site for anything unlawful, try to disrupt or damage it, or scrape content at scale. We may restrict access if that happens.

10. Accuracy of what we publish

We aim to be accurate and we date our research. Even so, content goes out of date, and errors happen. Check anything important before you rely on it for a business decision, and tell us if we have got something wrong. We publish corrections rather than quietly editing.

11. Third party tools, links and affiliates

We recommend and link to third party tools and services. Any contract or payment is between you and them, and we are not responsible for how they perform.

Some links are affiliate links. They do not affect what we recommend or where anything ranks, and how we are paid is set out on how we make money.

12. Intellectual property

The content on this site, including text, research, reports and branding, belongs to Whito Ltd unless stated otherwise. You may not copy, redistribute or reuse it without written permission, beyond normal quoting with attribution and a link.

Where images come from, the licences they are used under, and how to report a problem, are set out on our image credits and licensing page. Product names, logos and trade marks shown on the site remain the property of their owners.

13. Confidentiality

Anything non-public you share with us while we are working together is treated as confidential and used only to deliver the work, unless the law requires disclosure.

14. Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Whito is not liable for lost revenue, profit, data or business opportunity, or for indirect or consequential loss. Our total liability for any service is capped at what you paid us for it.

Nothing here limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

15. Corrections, right of reply and removals

If we have published something about your business that you believe is factually wrong, or you want your listing removed, the route is on our corrections, right of reply and removals page. We correct genuine errors, we say that we have corrected them, and we remove listings on request.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The current version is always the one on this page, with the date at the top. Continuing to use the site means accepting the updated version.

17. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
