Legal Framework & Commercial Terms
Transparency is the foundation of every great partnership. Here, we outline the boundaries for our artisan coffee management services and digital interaction standards.
Subject to annual review.
1. Engagement for Services
By engaging GuildBean for coffee bean sourcing, roast profiling, or cafe management, you're entering into a professional agreement built on quality and mutual respect. We don't just provide consulting; we integrate with your brand to ensure supply chain optimization.
2. Intellectual Property
Does our training material belong to you? While we're happy to train your baristas, all curriculum structures, roast profile data tables, and management frameworks remain the property of GuildBean unless explicitly transferred. Don't copy our roast curves—they're the result of 12 years of London roasting heritage.
Key Cancellation Rule
Notice for event planning cancellations must be received in writing no later than 14 business days prior to the event date. Late cancellations incur a 50% handling fee of the original quote.
3. Limitation of Liability
We strive for perfection in every brew and every business plan. However, GuildBean isn't liable for fluctuations in raw green coffee pricing or global logistics hurdles beyond our direct control. We're here to manage the risk, but the market's volatility stays with the bean.
4. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be settled within the jurisdiction of the courts in London.

Specific Contracts
Standard terms apply to all, but bespoke managed service agreements (MSA) will always override these general guidelines.
