Terms of use
What this service is
Batesio is software. We are the vendor: you buy the subscription from Ellul Solutions Ltd directly, and there is no third party between us. We introduce you to nobody, we sell your details to nobody, and we take no commission from anyone for sending you anywhere. We aim to keep the service available at all times and to keep your data recoverable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. If we plan work that will take the service offline we tell subscribers first. You can export your clients, documents and records at any time while your subscription is active and for 90 days after it ends.
How we are paid
You pay us, and that is the whole of how this business is funded: a monthly subscription to Batesio Pro, sold to businesses. Nothing on this site is an advertisement we are paid for, and no figure or recommendation here is influenced by a commission, because there is none. Price, renewal date and cancellation route are shown before you pay and stated again in your account. Purchase is offered to people acting for purposes related to their trade or profession. Where a consumer nonetheless buys, the statutory cancellation and digital content rights are honoured in full rather than excluded.
Online payments. When you connect your own Stripe account and take a payment through a pay link, Batesio charges a platform fee of 1% of that payment, in addition to Stripe's own processing fee. Stripe deducts both from the payment before it is paid out to you; Batesio never holds your customers' money. The rate that applies is the one shown in your account on the day the pay link is created, and a change to it applies only to links created afterwards.
The free tools
The free tools on this site are provided as working tools for people who keep a small firm's documents. Their output is arithmetic on the figures you enter, plus the vendor prices cited on each page. They do not replace your own retention schedule, your regulator's rules on what a firm must keep, a lawyer's reading of a hold obligation, or your own judgement about a file.
No warranty
Nothing on this site is legal, regulatory or records-management advice. The prices quoted are the published figures on the date cited; a retention period entered here is your own policy and must be checked against your regulator's and your adviser's requirements; a backlog sized here is a plan for the firm to adopt, not a records schedule. Templates are starting points, not a compliance record.
