Lynr Network Member Terms

Lynr Network is operated by THINKBUD LTD, trading as LYNR, a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 17013341, registered office 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom.

By submitting a Network application or continuing membership after a revised version is validly presented for acceptance, you agree to the applicable version of these terms. If you apply for an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to provide the organisation information and to accept the application-related terms on its behalf to the extent stated in the application.

If you apply as an individual, you confirm that you are applying in connection with your existing trade, business, craft or profession and not mainly for personal or consumer purposes. This statement records the intended professional/B2B context and does not remove any mandatory legal right that applies because of the actual facts.

• Provide information that is materially accurate, current and not misleading.
• Do not impersonate a person or organisation or submit credentials, references, evidence or claims you are not entitled to use.
• Submitting an application, request consideration or accepting an invitation does not guarantee approval, membership, an introduction or project work.
• LYNR may ask for clarification, evidence, references or other proportionate verification before deciding whether to admit or retain a member.
• LYNR may approve, request changes or decline an application using senior human judgement. Technology may assist administration or analysis but does not replace LYNR's responsibility for the decision.

Network membership means only that LYNR has accepted the person or organisation into the private Network at that time. It is not a public certification, endorsement or warranty of capability.

Bench-ready status is a separate LYNR assessment that may consider current evidence, availability, conflicts, references, delivery history, client context, security requirements and the specific workstream. Even a bench-ready member has no entitlement to an opportunity, selection, minimum volume of work or minimum income.

• Keep your account credentials secure and do not knowingly allow another person to use your account as you.
• Tell LYNR promptly if you believe an account, invitation or private information has been compromised.
• Use only the access, information and private opportunities made available to you for their intended purpose.
• LYNR may restrict or suspend account access where reasonably necessary for security, legal compliance, suspected misuse, investigation or protection of clients, members or the service.

• Keep material capability, experience, availability, location and work-preference information reasonably current.
• Keep any rates or commercial-preference information accurate where you choose to provide it; such information does not bind LYNR to a fee or assignment.
• Partner organisations must keep their named accountable lead, relevant delivery team, material subcontractor use, security/insurance information and capability claims accurate and current.
• Tell LYNR about a material conflict of interest or material delivery limitation when it becomes relevant to an opportunity or assignment.

Network membership does not create employment, worker status, partnership, joint venture, fiduciary relationship, agency, franchise, reseller relationship or authority to bind LYNR or a client.

A legal or tax status cannot be determined by a label alone. If client work is later proposed, the actual working arrangements and written assignment must be reviewed and operated consistently with applicable employment, worker-status, tax and off-payroll rules.

You remain independent and may conduct your own business, subject only to obligations you separately agree for a particular assignment, confidentiality, data protection, conflicts and lawful restrictions.

• Treat non-public member, applicant, client, opportunity, commercial, security and LYNR information as confidential unless the owner or LYNR authorises disclosure or disclosure is legally required.
• Use private information only for the purpose for which it was provided.
• Do not scrape, harvest, copy or build a competing directory from Network information.
• Do not disclose private opportunity or client information publicly or to unrelated third parties.
• Do not upload confidential client material, credentials, secrets or third-party personal data unless you are entitled to do so and it is necessary for the purpose.

You may use AI or other technology in your own work where lawful and appropriate, but Network membership never authorises you to place LYNR, client, member or applicant confidential information into an unrestricted public AI service or to use such information to train or improve a model for an unrelated purpose.

Where AI materially affects a client assignment, the assignment may require specific tools, permissions, data locations, human review, evaluation, security controls, disclosure or prohibited-use rules. Those project-specific controls take precedence.

Evidence submitted to the Network is governed by the Portfolio & Evidence Rules. You keep ownership of intellectual property you already own. Submitting evidence grants only the limited permission stated in those rules; it does not transfer ownership to LYNR.

Network membership does not give you rights to LYNR's name, logo, materials, methods or confidential information beyond the limited use necessary to participate in the Network.

• Do not describe yourself or your organisation as an employee, agent, certified partner, preferred supplier or endorsed representative of LYNR unless LYNR has agreed the wording in writing.
• Do not use LYNR's name, logo or marks in marketing, press releases, case studies or public client claims without permission.
• Do not imply that Network membership is a guarantee of delivery quality, client approval or product certification.

LYNR may privately contact members when there is a credible reason to discuss a workstream. You can accept or decline a proposed opportunity unless a separate written agreement says otherwise.

Opportunities inside the Network are curated. LYNR decides which approved members are invited to a specific private opportunity, using profile information, capability and evidence, availability, context and LYNR's own judgement. An opportunity is visible only to the members LYNR has specifically invited. It is not a public job advertisement, a vacancy listing, an open application process or an auction.

LYNR may withhold or limit client identity and other commercially sensitive detail until an appropriate confidentiality and commercial stage. Where the client name is withheld, LYNR will still describe enough of the problem for you to decide whether to have a conversation.

Responding to an invitation — including "open to a conversation", requesting more information, declaring a conflict or declining — is a response only. It does not create a binding project commitment, an assignment, a fee entitlement, employment or any obligation on LYNR or a client. Any actual assignment requires separate project and commercial terms agreed in writing.

When responding you may reference project and evidence records you already hold in the Network, and capability or expertise you have already recorded. Selecting nothing is a valid response. Referencing existing evidence in a response is governed by the Portfolio & Evidence Rules and does not create any further or wider licence.

You must keep your responses and the information LYNR relies on accurate, treat opportunity and client information as confidential, and not use it for another purpose. Do not attempt to bypass LYNR on an opportunity LYNR introduced to you.

No exclusivity, non-solicitation or non-circumvention restriction arises merely from Network membership. Where such a restriction is commercially necessary for Lynr-originated work, it must be set out in a separate written project, referral or commercial agreement and is interpreted only to the extent lawful and reasonable.

You can change availability, pause participation, deactivate membership or permanently delete an eligible account using available controls. You may also contact LYNR about account or privacy rights.

Permanent account deletion closes the login and removes account-linked active Network data and private files that no longer have a lawful retention purpose. It does not require LYNR to destroy records it is required or permitted to keep for legal obligations, contracts, accounting/tax, security/fraud, legal claims, regulatory matters or continuing suppression of a marketing objection.

Reviewer and administrator accounts require controlled offboarding before deletion so operational ownership, access control and audit responsibilities can be transferred safely.

LYNR may suspend or end membership where reasonably necessary because of material inaccuracy, misconduct, loss of trust, security risk, client protection, legal/compliance concerns, prolonged inactivity, capability/fit changes or breach of these terms. Where appropriate, LYNR may investigate before making the decision.

LYNR may update these terms as the Network, law or operating model changes. If a change is material to continuing participation, LYNR may require the revised version to be accepted before further participation. A revised version does not retrospectively rewrite a separate signed client assignment.

If a provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply so far as legally possible. A failure to enforce a provision immediately is not a waiver of LYNR's right to enforce it later.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, subject to mandatory rights or jurisdiction rules that cannot lawfully be excluded where you are based.
