These Terms and Conditions govern your use of Behind The Pumps. By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the website.
Behind The Pumps is a Race & Enos project operated through Race Media Group.

2. General information only
Content on Behind The Pumps is provided for general information and practical guidance. Although we aim to make information useful and accurate, it is not a substitute for professional advice tailored to your circumstances.
Nothing on this website should be treated as legal, licensing, financial, tax, accounting, employment, health and safety, food safety or other regulated professional advice.
Laws, regulations, official guidance, prices, supplier details, product specifications and industry practices can change. You should verify important information with an appropriate official source, regulator, local authority, professional adviser, supplier or service provider before acting on it.
3. Licensing and legal content
Licensing and hospitality rules can differ between England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and may also depend on local circumstances or licence conditions.
Where we identify a jurisdiction or provide links to official sources, this is intended to make the information easier to understand and verify. It does not create a solicitor-client relationship and should not be relied upon as legal advice.
4. Calculators and tools
Behind The Pumps may provide calculators, costing tools, gross profit tools, pricing tools, templates and other interactive resources.
Results are estimates based on the information entered and the assumptions built into the relevant tool. They may not account for every cost, tax treatment, discount, wastage level, supplier arrangement or business circumstance.
You remain responsible for checking calculations and deciding whether an output is suitable for your business before relying on it.
5. Supplier, brewery, brand and other directory information
We may publish information about suppliers, breweries, brands, service providers and other organisations.
Directory information may be compiled from businesses themselves, publicly available information, research, third-party sources or submissions. We aim to keep listings useful but cannot guarantee that every address, telephone number, service area, price, ownership detail, product range or other piece of information is always complete or current.
Inclusion in a directory does not automatically mean that Behind The Pumps endorses, recommends, verifies or guarantees that business.
If you believe a listing is incorrect or outdated, please contact hello@behindthepumps.co.uk.
6. Reviews and recommendations
Reviews and recommendations may be based on first-hand experience, independent research, product information, supplier information, user feedback or a combination of sources. Where relevant, we aim to make the basis of a review clear.
Opinions are our own unless clearly attributed to somebody else. A positive review or inclusion in an article does not guarantee that a product or service will be suitable for your venue.
Some reviewed products or services may use affiliate or referral links. Commercial relationships are covered in our Affiliate Disclosure.
7. Affiliate links, advertising and sponsored content
Behind The Pumps may earn money through affiliate links, referrals, advertisements, sponsorships, featured placements and other commercial arrangements.
Where appropriate, commercial relationships will be disclosed. Payment or commission does not give an advertiser or affiliate partner the right to dictate our factual conclusions or require a positive review.
8. External links
Behind The Pumps contains links to third-party websites. These are provided for convenience, reference or commercial purposes.
We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, privacy practices, products, services or terms.
Any purchase, booking, application, contract or other transaction you enter into with a third party is between you and that third party.
