Welcome to shaunmcnulty.com.

These Terms of Use explain the conditions that apply when you access and use this website.

The website provides information about my professional services, experience and approach to project and programme management, project recovery, fractional project management and selected advisory services.

By using this website, you agree to comply with these Terms of Use, subject to your applicable legal rights.

Please read them alongside my Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

1. Website owner

This website is owned and operated by:

Shaun McNultyIndependent Project & Programme Manager and Project Recovery SpecialistUnited Kingdom

Website: https://shaunmcnulty.comEmail: info@shaunmcnulty.com

I operate as an individual trader based in the United Kingdom.

2. Purpose of this website

This website provides general information about my professional services, experience, insights and availability.

These services may include:

• Project and Programme Management.
• Project Recovery and Turnaround.
• Fractional Project Management for small and medium-sized businesses.
• Limited Cybersecurity Readiness advisory support.
• Limited AI Governance advisory support.

The information on this website is intended to help prospective clients, recruiters and other visitors understand the services I offer and decide whether to contact me.

Information published on the website does not constitute a binding offer to provide services.

3. General information, not project-specific advice

The content on this website is provided for general information and educational purposes.

Although I aim to ensure that the information is accurate, relevant and useful, it may not address the specific circumstances of your organisation, project or business.

Information relating to project management, project recovery, governance, risk management, cybersecurity or artificial intelligence should not be treated as a substitute for an assessment of your particular requirements.

You should not make significant commercial, operational, security or project decisions solely on the basis of general website content.

Any professional recommendations specific to your organisation will be subject to an agreed engagement and its applicable terms.

4. Professional services and engagements

Descriptions of services on this website are illustrative and do not create a contractual commitment.

Any professional engagement will be subject to separate written agreement covering, as appropriate:

• Scope of services.
• Objectives and deliverables.
• Roles and responsibilities.
• Fees and payment arrangements.
• Duration and working arrangements.
• Confidentiality.
• Intellectual property.
• Data protection.
• Liability.
• Termination provisions.

A contract for services will only arise when the relevant terms have been agreed by the parties.

Submitting an enquiry, requesting information or arranging an introductory conversation does not create a professional engagement or an obligation for either party to proceed.

5. Service availability

The availability of my services may vary depending on existing commitments, project requirements, location and the nature of the proposed engagement.

Any availability information displayed on this website is indicative and subject to confirmation.

I reserve the right to decline an enquiry or proposed engagement where it is outside my expertise, capacity or appropriate professional scope.

6. Fractional Project Management

Fractional Project Management refers to flexible, part-time access to project management expertise.

Descriptions of fractional arrangements on this website are examples of potential working models rather than fixed contractual commitments.

The actual allocation of time, responsibilities, deliverables, availability and fees will be agreed separately in writing.

Fractional Project Management does not automatically include responsibility for every aspect of an organisation's project portfolio or guarantee particular delivery outcomes.

7. Cybersecurity and AI Governance advisory services

Any information or services relating to cybersecurity readiness or AI governance are intended to provide practical business guidance, governance support and implementation planning within an agreed scope.

Unless explicitly agreed otherwise, these services do not constitute:

• Managed cybersecurity services.
• Penetration testing.
• Continuous security monitoring.
• Formal security certification.
• Legal or regulatory compliance assurance.
• Legal advice.
• A guarantee that systems or processes are free from risk.

Organisations remain responsible for their own operational, security, regulatory and commercial decisions.

Where specialist technical, legal or regulatory advice is required, appropriate qualified professionals should be consulted.

Unless a resource states otherwise, you may download and use it for your own personal or internal business purposes.

You must not resell, commercially redistribute or misrepresent the authorship of these materials without permission.
