7. Your rights to end the contract

• • You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on whether there is anything wrong with our service, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:
    • If the service has been misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the Subscription Materials revised or replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 10.;
    • If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 2;
    • If you have just changed your mind about the subscribing to the service, see clause 3.
  • Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (d) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any subscription fees you may have paid in advance (that is for any future months’ subscription fee(s) which you may have paid for upfront but does not include any month (whether in whole or in part) where you have had access to the Subscription Materials) and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
    • we have told you about an upcoming change to the service or these terms which you do not agree to;
    • we have told you about an error in the price or description or content of the service you have subscribed to and you do not wish to proceed;
    • we have suspended supply of the Subscription Materials or website for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 24 hours; or
    • you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
  • Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. Due to the fact that we will immediately permit access to the services once account set up has been completed you will not have a right to change your mind.
  • Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see clause 1), you can still end the contract before it is completed. A contract for goods or digital content is completed when the product is delivered, downloaded or streamed and paid for. If you want to end the contract in these circumstances, just contact us to let us know. The contract will not end until the end of the calendar month in which your notice is given to us to end the contract, for Gold User Package subscriptions. If you signed up to a Lifetime User Package then you will have the right to end the contract at any time by emailing us, but due to the fact that it is a one-off upfront payment you will not be entitled to any refund of the price paid for the package.

8. How to end the contract with us (including if you have changed your mind)

9. Our rights to end the contract

• • We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract for the services at any time by writing to you if:
    • you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due;
    • you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the services, for example, any of the information requested on the sign=up form which is not provided at the time of setting up an account for whatever reason.
  • We may withdraw certain services. We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing certain services. We will let you know at least 1 calendar month in advance of our stopping the supply of the services and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for services which will not be provided for Gold User Packages. In respect of Lifetime User Packages please see paragraph 5.5 of these terms and conditions.

10. If there is a problem with the services

• • How to tell us about problems. If you have any questions or complaints about the services, please contact us. You can write to us at [email protected]
  • Summary of your legal rights. We are under a legal duty to supply services that are in conformity with this contract. See the box below for a summary of your key legal rights in relation to the services. Nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights.

11. Price and payment

• • Where to find the subscription prices. The price of the services (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order page when you set up your account. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the services advised to you is correct. However please see clause 3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the services you order.
  • We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the service, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the service in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
  • What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the services we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the service’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the service’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and prevent access to the subscribed service.
  • When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with all major credit and debit cards. In respect of the Gold User Package you will be required to sign up to pay for a rolling monthly subscription fee which will continue until you end the contract in accordance with the terms of this agreement. The subscription fee will be debited from your nominated payment card as provided during the account set up process each month. The exact date the direct debit will be taken will depend on the date you set up your account but we will confirm this to you in writing once your account has been set up. For Lifetime User Packages the fee is a one-off upfront fee and will be debited in full from your nominated payment card as provided.
  • We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 3% a year above the base lending rate of Barclays Bank PLC from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

12. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you

• • We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
  • We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the services.
  • Our liability to you. Subject to clause 12.2, if defective digital content which we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation.
  • We are not liable for damage you could have avoided. We will not be liable for damage which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage which was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.
  • We are not liable for business losses. We only supply our services for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

13. How we may use your personal information

• • How we will use your personal information. We will use the personal information you provide to us in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

14. Other important terms

• • We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation.
  • You may not transfer your rights to someone else. You may not transfer your rights and obligations under these terms to anyone else without our prior written consent.
  • If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
  • Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
  • Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
