Terms of service

Operator and contact

Richard Patey is a self-employed operator. Correspondence address: Bishopbrook House, Cathedral Ave, Wells BA5 1FD, United Kingdom. Email: richard@richardpatey.com. These terms cover richardpatey.com and any payment made to me directly, including through a Stripe payment link or invoice.

What this site is

richardpatey.com is my personal site. It lists the businesses I run now and the ones I have run, sold or retired. Nothing is sold on this page itself.

Payments through my businesses

Several of my businesses take payment through Stripe, so your card statement may show my name. Each has its own terms on its own site, and those terms apply to what you buy there. For example: BidPadel and BidUpSki.

Payments made to me directly

If I send you a Stripe payment link or an invoice, it states what you are buying and the price before you pay. Payments are one-off unless the link or invoice says otherwise. Nothing renews automatically unless you agreed to it at checkout.

Refunds and payment problems

For a duplicate charge, an unauthorised payment, a mistake, or something you paid for and did not receive, email me promptly with your name and the payment reference. Do not send card details. I will investigate and correct the problem or refund you where a refund is due.

Nothing here excludes mandatory consumer rights where they apply, including cancellation rights and remedies for services not provided as agreed. Contact me to exercise any of them.

The track record

The table on this site is my own account of my businesses, with links to public sources where they exist. Businesses marked sold are owned and run by their buyers. Links to them go to sites I no longer control.

Links and responsibility

Links go to independent websites with their own terms. I aim to keep this site accurate and available, but errors and interruptions can happen. I remain responsible for anything that cannot lawfully be excluded, including fraud and death or personal injury caused by negligence.

Changes and disputes

I may update these terms for future use and payments. The terms shown when you pay apply to that payment. Please contact me first about any complaint so we can try to resolve it. These terms do not restrict any mandatory rights or access to courts available under applicable law.
