Terms of use

These terms cover your use of ruleslip.co.uk. Ruleslip is run by SKMB Software Ltd. Last updated 11 November 2026.

The check gives estimates, not advice

The check works out a rough answer from the figures you enter, the published rules of the deposit return scheme and the starting figures listed under "How we worked it out". It is there to help you plan. It is not legal, financial or tax advice, and it can't take account of everything about your shop.

Exchange for Change decides who must register, who is exempt and who gets a grant. The scheme's rules, fees and dates can change. Check with Exchange for Change before you spend money or rely on a date.

We are independent

Ruleslip is not part of, or endorsed by, Exchange for Change, any machine supplier or any government body.

Quote requests and how we are paid

The check is free. If you ask for machine quotes, we send your request to the suppliers you tick on the form, all of them on the Exchange for Change certified list, and a supplier may pay us a fee for it. You never pay us. The fee doesn't change the sums the check shows you.

Any quote, lease or sale is between you and the supplier. We don't recommend one supplier over another, we don't check their prices, and we aren't a party to anything you agree with them.

Our responsibility to you

We take care to keep the rules and figures on this site correct and we show the date we last checked them. We can't promise they are complete or up to date at every moment. As far as the law allows, we aren't liable for losses that come from relying on the estimates. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't legally be limited, such as for fraud, or for death or injury caused by negligence.

Using the site

Please don't misuse the site, for example by sending false quote requests or trying to disrupt it. You may share a link to your numbers and print your result for your own business.

Your information

The privacy page says what we collect and what we do with it.
