1. Agreement & Platform Access Licence

This Agreement is entered into between FosterReady Ltd ("FosterReady", "we", "us") and the registered Independent Fostering Agency (IFA) or UK Local Authority ("Partner", "you").

Subject to compliance with these terms, FosterReady grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access the Agency Command Centre to view pre-screened candidate profiles, statutory TSD progress logs, and candidate contact requests.

2. Data Protection & UK GDPR Compliance

Both parties agree to adhere strictly to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Candidate Consent: Candidates remain data owners. Contact details are transferred to your portal only after explicit candidate consent.
Confidentiality: Personal data retrieved from FosterReady must be used exclusively for statutory fostering assessment and recruitment.
No Reselling: Candidate data obtained via FosterReady must never be sold, brokered, or transferred to un-affiliated third-party organisations.

3. Proprietary Intellectual Property & Anti-Copycat Protection

All software, algorithms, user interfaces, assessment question sets, prompt engineering architectures, branding, and Level 3 TSD training content on FosterReady are the exclusive intellectual property of FosterReady Ltd.

To protect our platform integrity, Partners, employees, and trial users expressly agree NOT to:

Copy, scrape, reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the source code or workflow logic of the FosterReady platform.
Develop, launch, or assist any third party in creating a derivative product, clone, or competing service utilizing FosterReady's proprietary assessment methodology.
Extract or repurpose FosterReady prompt templates, AI scoring rules, or statutory TSD training materials for external commercial use.

Breach of this section will result in immediate termination of portal access, statutory injunction, and claims for damages under UK Intellectual Property Law.

4. Fair Usage & Candidate Handover

FosterReady acts as an initial pre-screening, nurture, and readiness engine. Official statutory Form F assessment and panel approval remain the sole legal responsibility of the registered IFA or Local Authority under the Fostering Services (England) Regulations 2011.
