These Terms and Conditions govern your use of www.forestsalud.com.

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms. Please stop using the website if you do not agree with them.

In these terms, “Forest Salud,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the person or business operating this website.

2. Purpose of the Website

This website provides information about Samuel Weeks Finnigan, Forest Salud, private chef services, yacht hospitality, retreats, residencies, gatherings, movement experiences, and related collaborations.

The content is provided for general information and enquiry purposes. It does not constitute a binding offer to provide services.

Submitting an enquiry does not create a contract, reserve a date, or guarantee Samuel’s availability.

A booking becomes confirmed only when the relevant parties have agreed to the scope, price, and terms in writing and any required deposit has been received.

3. Project-Specific Agreements

Private chef engagements, yacht work, retreats, residencies, events, and collaborations may be governed by a separate proposal, booking confirmation, service agreement, or contract.

That agreement may include details relating to:

  • the scope of services;

  • dates, locations, and working hours;

  • menus and dietary requirements;

  • guest numbers;

  • fees, deposits, and payment schedules;

  • travel, accommodation, provisioning, and staffing;

  • changes, postponements, and cancellations;

  • access to kitchens, galleys, venues, or equipment;

  • client responsibilities;

  • photography and publicity;

  • insurance; and

  • liability.

Where a project-specific agreement conflicts with these website terms, the project-specific agreement will take priority in relation to that engagement.

4. Enquiries and Information You Provide

You agree that information submitted through the website will be accurate, current, and reasonably complete.

You are responsible for providing relevant details about the proposed experience, including its location, date, guest numbers, facilities, dietary needs, allergies, and any other information that may affect planning or safe delivery.

An enquiry may be declined where the requested scope, timing, location, working conditions, facilities, budget, or other circumstances are unsuitable.

We are not responsible for delays or difficulties caused by inaccurate, incomplete, or late information supplied by you or by another person acting on your behalf.

Personal information submitted through the website is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

5. Dietary Requirements and Allergies

Information about allergies, intolerances, dietary requirements, and relevant health needs must be disclosed clearly and as early as possible.

Reasonable care will be taken when planning and preparing food. However, private homes, shared kitchens, yacht galleys, event spaces, suppliers, and third-party facilities may handle common allergens.

Unless expressly confirmed in writing, no environment can be guaranteed to be completely free from traces of a particular allergen.

Clients are responsible for ensuring that all relevant guest information is communicated accurately and promptly. Further allergy and food-safety terms may be included in the applicable booking agreement.

Nothing in these terms excludes any responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded.

6. Website Content

We take reasonable care to keep the website accurate and current. However, descriptions, imagery, sample menus, services, availability, locations, and other content may change without notice.

Images are illustrative and do not guarantee that a particular dish, ingredient, setting, producer, or format will be available for every engagement.

Seasonal cooking depends on availability, quality, weather, location, suppliers, and other practical considerations. Menus and ingredients may therefore change where reasonably necessary.

The website should not be relied upon as the sole basis for making travel, financial, medical, nutritional, or business decisions.

7. No Medical or Nutritional Advice

Content relating to food, nourishment, movement, recovery, embodied living, or physical wellbeing is provided for general informational purposes.

It is not medical advice, nutritional treatment, physiotherapy, diagnosis, or a substitute for guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.

You should seek appropriate professional advice before making decisions relating to a medical condition, injury, allergy, pregnancy, medication, rehabilitation, or significant change in diet or physical activity.

Any movement-led offering will be subject to its own suitability, health, and participation requirements.

8. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the website and its content are owned by or licensed to Forest Salud.

This includes:

  • written copy;

  • brand names;

  • logos;

  • photographs;

  • films;

  • graphics;

  • menus;

  • recipes;

  • designs;

  • layouts; and

  • downloadable or editorial materials.

You may view the website and print or save limited extracts for personal, non-commercial use.

You may not copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, sell, license, scrape, commercially exploit, or create derivative works from the website or its content without prior written permission.

You may not use Forest Salud or Samuel Weeks Finnigan’s name, imagery, recipes, menus, or brand materials in a way that suggests endorsement, partnership, or affiliation without written consent.

9. User Conduct

You must not use the website:

  • unlawfully or fraudulently;

  • to submit false, misleading, abusive, or harmful information;

  • to introduce viruses, malicious code, or other harmful technology;

  • to interfere with the operation or security of the website;

  • to attempt unauthorised access to the website, server, or related systems;

  • to collect information about other users without permission; or

  • to infringe the rights of Forest Salud or any third party.

We may restrict or block access where misuse is suspected.

10. Third-Party Links and Services

The website may contain links to Instagram, WhatsApp, email services, booking tools, maps, publications, partners, suppliers, or other third-party websites.

These links are provided for convenience and context. We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their availability, security, content, terms, or privacy practices.

Following a third-party link is at your own discretion.

The website may also rely on third-party technology, including Squarespace hosting, embedded media, analytics, fonts, forms, or communications services.

11. Availability of the Website

We aim to keep the website accessible, but continuous or error-free availability is not guaranteed.

Access may be interrupted because of maintenance, hosting issues, technical faults, security concerns, internet failures, third-party services, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website without notice.

12. Liability

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any statutory consumer right that cannot legally be limited. Consumer-facing exclusions must be fair, transparent, and legally enforceable.

Subject to those protections, we are not responsible for:

  • losses that were not reasonably foreseeable;

  • losses caused by inaccurate or incomplete information supplied by you;

  • losses caused by third-party websites, platforms, venues, suppliers, or service providers;

  • interruption or unavailability of the website;

  • loss caused by viruses or harmful material originating outside our reasonable control;

  • business losses suffered by a person using the website primarily for commercial purposes; or

  • decisions made solely in reliance on general website content.

Any liability connected to a confirmed engagement will be governed primarily by the applicable project-specific agreement and relevant law.

13. Consumer Rights

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.

Where you enter into a consumer contract for services, applicable law may require those services to be carried out with reasonable care and skill.

Depending on how and where a contract is formed, statutory cancellation rights may also apply. Certain distance or off-premises service contracts can carry a 14-day cancellation period, subject to legal exceptions and rules concerning services requested to begin during that period.

Any specific cancellation rights, deposits, and fees should be explained in the relevant proposal or booking agreement.

14. Privacy and Cookies

Use of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy.

The website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential operation, security, functionality, and analytics. Further details should be provided through the website’s cookie notice or cookie settings.

Where consent is legally required for non-essential cookies, visitors must be given clear information and a genuine choice.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms and Conditions to reflect changes in the website, services, business operations, or legal requirements.

The revised terms will be published on this page with an updated date.

Your continued use of the website after an update means that the revised terms will apply from that point onward.

Changes to an already confirmed engagement will be governed by its project-specific agreement and will not be made retrospectively through this webpage.

16. Severability

If any part of these terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.

Any invalid provision will be treated as modified only to the minimum extent necessary to make it lawful and enforceable.

17. No Waiver

A delay or failure to enforce a provision of these terms does not waive the right to enforce it later.

18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, unless mandatory consumer law in another jurisdiction applies.

The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction over disputes, subject to any rights consumers may have to bring proceedings in the part of the United Kingdom or other jurisdiction where they live.
