Auto RAMS

Terms of Service

Last updated: 30 September 2026

1. About these terms

Effective date: 5 October 2026 · Version: 1.0

These Business Terms of Use and Service Agreement ("Terms") govern access to and use of AutoRAMS, including the AutoRAMS website, software platform, desktop application, mobile application, document-generation systems and associated services (collectively, the "Service").

Service provider

AutoRAMS is a software product and service owned and operated by:

Ambler Group Limited
Company Number: 12568344
Registered Office: 167–169 Great Portland Street, Fifth Floor, London, W1W 5PF, United Kingdom

In these Terms:

  • "Ambler Group", "we", "us" and "our" means Ambler Group Limited.
  • "AutoRAMS" means the software platform, product, applications, systems, templates, databases, services and associated intellectual property operated by Ambler Group Limited under the AutoRAMS name.
  • "Customer", "you" and "your" means the business, company, sole trader, partnership or other commercial organisation purchasing, subscribing to, accessing or using AutoRAMS.
  • "Fees" means the subscription and other charges payable under section 5.

By creating an account, purchasing a subscription, accepting these Terms or accessing or using AutoRAMS, you enter into a legally binding agreement with Ambler Group Limited and agree to comply with these Terms.

AutoRAMS is not a separate legal entity. Any contract for use of AutoRAMS is entered into with Ambler Group Limited.

The person signing up confirms they have authority to bind your company. AutoRAMS is for businesses only, not consumers. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data and forms part of the picture alongside these Terms.

Contracting party

Any reference within these Terms, the AutoRAMS website, subscriptions, invoices, generated documents or other Service materials to "AutoRAMS" shall, where the context concerns the supplier of the Service or a legal obligation, mean Ambler Group Limited trading through its AutoRAMS product/service.

Any payment made for AutoRAMS is a payment for services supplied by Ambler Group Limited unless expressly stated otherwise in writing.

2. Your account and users

  • Each account has a company admin and, optionally, staff users. Company admins manage users, plans and billing.
  • Each user must have their own login. Sharing logins is not allowed.
  • Only one session can be active per user login at a time. Signing in somewhere else may end your earlier session.
  • You must give accurate information when you sign up and keep it up to date.
  • Keep your passwords secure. You are responsible for what happens under your users' logins, so tell us straight away at office@autorams.com if you think an account has been compromised.
  • Extra users can be added for £6 per month each (including VAT), on top of the users included in your plan.
  • Your package includes one trade. Each additional trade costs £6 per month (£5 plus VAT).

3. The service and what RAMS are

AutoRAMS is a hosted web app. You choose the trades your company works in (surveying, roofing, plumbing and heating, carpentry and joinery, electrical, scaffolding, groundworkers, and bricklayers and masons) and produce RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements) as PDFs from our library of job types.

Every RAMS produced by AutoRAMS is a draft. The content is generated from our library. It is a starting point, not a finished or approved safety document, and it is not legal, health and safety or professional advice.

Responsibility for checking every RAMS. AutoRAMS produces draft risk assessments and method statements from a general library of job types and the information you enter. It is a drafting tool, not a safety consultancy, and a RAMS produced by AutoRAMS is not a certified, approved or site-specific document. You are solely responsible for checking each RAMS before it is issued or used, and for confirming that it is complete, accurate and suitable for the work, the site, the people involved and the law that applies. A competent person in your company must review every RAMS, add or correct anything specific to the job, and approve it before work starts. You must not rely on AutoRAMS to identify every hazard or control.

AutoRAMS holds no insurance covering the content of the documents you produce, and you must not treat the service as providing any such cover. To the fullest extent permitted by law, AutoRAMS accepts no liability for any injury, loss, damage, claim, fine or enforcement action arising from a RAMS that has not been checked and approved by your competent person, or from your use of any RAMS. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

Your confirmations. When you sign up, you must confirm:

I confirm that a competent person from our company will check and approve every RAMS produced with AutoRAMS before it is used, to make sure it meets our trade standards, suits the work and site, and that all risks are assessed. I understand that we are solely responsible for this, and that AutoRAMS holds no liability, and no insurance, for any risks that may or may not be covered.

Each time you produce or amend a RAMS you must also tick a box confirming: "I confirm that a competent person will check and approve this RAMS before it is used on site, and that I understand AutoRAMS accepts no liability for its content." We keep a record of each confirmation, with the date and time and who gave it.

We do not check your RAMS, and we do not know your sites, your people or your clients. We do not accept liability for any risk that a RAMS does or does not cover.

4. Plans, trial and usage limits

All prices are per month and include VAT at the current rate.

  • Free trial: 2 RAMS, 14 days, 1 user. Trial RAMS are watermarked and view-only (no downloads or copying). One free trial per company.
  • Solo: £25, 5 RAMS per month, 1 user.
  • Trade: £49, 20 RAMS per month, 2 users.
  • Pro: £85, 50 RAMS per month, 5 users.
  • Business: £145, 150 RAMS per month, 10 users.
  • Large Business: £240, 300 RAMS per month, 25 users.
  • Enterprise: bespoke terms and pricing, agreed with us in writing.

A RAMS counts towards your monthly limit only when it is newly created. Amending an existing RAMS does not use any of your allowance. Your limit resets each month. Once you reach your limit you cannot create more new RAMS until the reset, unless you move to a higher plan.

5. Payment

  • Direct Debit only. Paid plans are billed monthly by Bacs Direct Debit. Payments are handled by Stripe, our payment processor. AutoRAMS never sees your bank details.
  • Referral discount. If an AutoRAMS customer gives you their referral code and you enter it when you sign up, then once your first payment has been taken you get 10% off your monthly subscription and the customer who referred you gets 10% off theirs. Each customer can earn this for up to 2 referred companies, so the most anyone can have off through referrals is 20%. A company cannot refer itself, a code only counts for a company that has not signed up before, and we may withhold or remove a discount if a code has been misused. Referral discounts apply from the next invoice, are not paid out as cash, and end if the subscription ends.
  • Partner codes. If you sign up using a code or link from one of our partners (for example a content creator), you may get 10% off your first 3 monthly payments, depending on the partner's arrangement with us, and we show you whether a code gives a discount before you sign up. A code applies to new customers only, can be used once per company, cannot be combined with a customer referral code, and may be removed if it is misused. The partner is paid by us for introducing customers; that does not change the price you pay beyond the discount.
  • Failed payments. If a payment fails, we will send you email reminders. You then have 3 days' grace with full service. After that your account moves to restricted mode. In restricted mode you can still log in, view and download your existing RAMS and fix your billing, but you cannot create new RAMS. Once you pay, full service is restored.
  • No minimum term, cancel anytime. There is no minimum term. You can cancel at any time from your account. We ask you to tell us why you are leaving (or to choose "I would rather not say"). If you cancel before your next payment date, your subscription will not renew and you will not be charged again. You keep full use of the service until the end of the period you have already paid for, and we do not give refunds for part-periods unless the law requires it.
  • VAT. Prices include VAT at the current rate. If the VAT rate changes, the VAT part of the price changes with it.
  • Price changes. We will give you at least 30 days' notice before changing the price of your plan. If you do not want the new price, you can cancel before it takes effect.

6. Acceptable use

You must not:

  • share logins, or let people outside your company use your account;
  • resell, sub-license or redistribute the library or its content, or offer it as a competing service;
  • scrape, copy in bulk, or use bots or automated tools to extract the library or other content;
  • try to break, overload or gain unauthorised access to the service or to other customers' data;
  • reverse engineer the software, except where the law allows it;
  • upload unlawful content or content you have no right to use; or
  • use the service in a way that is misleading, or that breaks the law.

7. Your data and data processing

Your data. "Your data" means the information you put into AutoRAMS: company details, user names and emails, client names and site addresses entered into RAMS, staff names on RAMS, site photos, logos, and the RAMS PDFs you generate. You own your data and the RAMS you generate. You give us a licence to store, process and display your data only as needed to provide the service to you.

Who is responsible. For personal data of your clients and staff that you enter into AutoRAMS, you are the controller and we are your processor. For your account, billing and website contact data, we are the controller (see our Privacy Policy). You must have a lawful basis for putting personal data into AutoRAMS.

Data processing terms. When we act as your processor, we will:

  • process personal data only on your documented instructions, which are these terms and your use of the service, unless the law requires otherwise;
  • make sure people who handle it are bound by confidentiality;
  • keep it secure, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), hashed passwords, separation of each company's data and daily backups;
  • only use sub-processors approved in these terms, which currently are Stripe (payments), our email delivery provider (Resend or Postmark) and our cloud hosting provider ([hosting location]), and put data protection terms in place with them. We will tell you about any change to these before it takes effect, and you can object by contacting us;
  • help you, where reasonably possible, to respond to individuals exercising their data protection rights and to meet your security, breach notification and impact assessment duties;
  • tell you without undue delay after becoming aware of a personal data breach affecting your data;
  • on request, give you the information needed to show we are complying with this section; and
  • after your account ends, return or delete your data as set out in section 13.

Support access. Our office staff can see your account and billing information by default. They can see a specific RAMS only if your company admin shares it with us for a support request.

8. Our content and intellectual property

AutoRAMS brand and intellectual property

AutoRAMS is a proprietary software service of Ambler Group Limited.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, all rights, title and interest in and to AutoRAMS remain vested in Ambler Group Limited or its licensors, including rights relating to:

  • the AutoRAMS name and branding;
  • software and source code;
  • software architecture;
  • user interfaces;
  • document-generation systems;
  • automated workflows;
  • risk libraries;
  • hazard libraries;
  • control-measure libraries;
  • trade and task libraries;
  • COSHH libraries;
  • permit libraries;
  • templates;
  • document structures;
  • databases;
  • wording libraries;
  • graphics;
  • designs;
  • algorithms;
  • processes; and
  • other intellectual property incorporated into the Service.

The Customer receives only the rights expressly granted under these Terms.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of AutoRAMS or its underlying intellectual property to the Customer.

AutoRAMS owns the software, the library of job types and content, and the AutoRAMS name and branding. We give you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use these during your subscription, for your own company's business. You may use the RAMS you generate for your own work and your own clients. You may not copy the library itself or pass it on to anyone else, as set out in section 6.

9. Customer documents

The Customer remains responsible for the documents it creates, approves, issues or uses through AutoRAMS.

Where a document is generated using Customer information, the Customer is responsible for checking the document and deciding whether it is appropriate for use.

Ambler Group Limited does not become responsible for a Customer's health and safety arrangements merely because AutoRAMS has assisted in drafting a document.

Subject to payment of all applicable Fees, the Customer may use, modify, reproduce and distribute final documents produced through AutoRAMS for its normal business activities and client projects.

This permission does not permit the Customer to copy, extract, reproduce, commercially exploit or create a competing service from AutoRAMS' underlying libraries, templates, systems, databases or intellectual property.

10. Customer-supplied information

The Customer is responsible for the accuracy, completeness and suitability of all information supplied to AutoRAMS.

AutoRAMS operates using the information, selections and instructions provided by the Customer and may rely on that information without independently verifying it.

Where inaccurate, incomplete, misleading or outdated information supplied by the Customer causes or contributes to an inaccurate or unsuitable document, responsibility for the consequences of that information remains with the Customer to the extent permitted by law.

Ambler Group Limited is not responsible for independently investigating or verifying the circumstances of a Customer's project, workplace, employees, equipment or site.

11. Availability and support

We will use reasonable endeavours to keep the service available, but we do not guarantee uptime. The service may occasionally be unavailable for maintenance, updates or reasons outside our control. We may change, add or remove library content and features from time to time. Support is available at office@autorams.com and on 0345 548 5451.

12. Liability

  • Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be limited or excluded by law.
  • Subject to that, we are not liable for injury, loss, damage or regulatory action arising from the use of any RAMS that has not been checked by a competent person, or from any risk that a RAMS does or does not cover, or from you relying on a RAMS without checking that it suits the job and site.
  • Subject to the first point, we are not liable for loss of profit, loss of business, loss of goodwill or any indirect or consequential loss.
  • Subject to the first point, our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or in connection with the service in any 12-month period is limited to the fees you paid to us in the 12 months before the event that gave rise to the claim.
  • We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control.

13. Suspension and ending

  • Suspension. We may suspend or restrict your account for non-payment (see section 5) or if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, including the acceptable use rules. Where reasonable, we will tell you why and give you a chance to put things right.
  • Ending. You can cancel as set out in section 5. We may end your account if you seriously break these terms and do not put it right after we ask you to, or if we stop providing the service, in which case we will give you reasonable notice.
  • What happens to your data. After cancellation, we keep your data for 90 days so you can download your RAMS or come back. After that we delete it, unless the law requires us to keep it. Billing records are kept for 6 years. Backups roll off within 35 days. You should download anything you need before your account ends.

14. Changes

We may update these terms, for example when we change the service or the law changes. We will tell you about material changes by email or in the app before they take effect. If you keep using the service after the change takes effect, you accept the new terms. If you do not agree, you can cancel before then. Price changes are covered by section 5.

15. Governing law

These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
