  1. THESE TERMS

    3. If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the Services that you have requested.

We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the affected Service, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.
    2. We permit changes by way of upgrades or downgrades to a subscription. Please refer to our website for more information and detail as to how to effect such a change. Where an alternative subject area is selected as part of the change this shall only take effect at the commencement of the next subscription month.
  6. OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES
    1. Minor changes to the products provided within the Services. We may change any product that forms the basis of or is part of any Service we provide:
      1. to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and
      2. to implement updates, minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These changes will not affect your use of the Service we provide;
    2. Updates to the Terms. We may update the Terms from time to time. Any updated version will apply to any purchase of Services on and after the date we say that the revised Terms come into effect. For subscription Services the Terms that will apply will be those in effect on the date of renewal of your Subscription.
  7. PROVIDING THE SERVICE YOU SUBSCRIBE TO
    1. When you subscribe for a Service you are entitled to the benefits of the subscription on the following basis. Subscribing to a Service is for your personal benefit and for those in your household only. You may not share the subscription with any other party save in circumstances in which you have a disability and rely upon another individual to provide you with support in any form necessary for you to enjoy the benefit we want the subscription to provide you with.
    2. When we will provide the Service you subscribe for. When we accept your order your entitlement to take advantage of the Service subscribed to begins.
    3. If the Service subscribed to is ongoing services or a subscription to receive digital content. We will supply the services and/or digital content to you until either the services are completed or the subscription (if applicable) expires or you end the contract as described in clause 8 or we end the contract by written notice to you as described in clause 9.
    4. We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the Service you subscribe to is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.
    5. Reasons we may suspend the supply of any Service to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a Service:
      1. to deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
      2. to update any product that forms the Service to which you have subscribed to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
      3. if we become aware or have good reason to believe that you are not complying with any restriction notified to you under these Terms concerning use of the Services;
    6. Your rights if we suspend the supply of Services. We will contact you in advance (usually be email) to tell you we will be suspending supply of the product relevant to a Service you subscribe to, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the product for longer than one month we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for products while they are suspended. You may contact us to end the contract for an affected Service if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than one month and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the Service in respect of the period after you end the contract.
    7. We may also suspend supply of the Service if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for a Service you have subscribed to when you are supposed to including a card chargeback that you instruct your card provider to apply (see clause 12.4) and you still do not make payment within 3 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the products. We will not suspend the Service where you dispute the unpaid invoice (see clause 12.7). As well as suspending the Service we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 12.6).
  8. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
    1. You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing, when you decide to end the contract and whether you are a consumer or business customer:
      1. If what you have subscribed for is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back);
      2. If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;
      3. If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the product the rights referred to at clause 8.3 will not apply as your purchase is in the form of digital content. But we do offer a trail period as explained in clause 8.5.
    2. 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 8.2.1 to 8.2.5 below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any Services which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
      1. we have told you about an upcoming change to the Service or these terms which you do not agree to (see clause 3);
      2. we have told you about an error in the price or description of the Service you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
      3. there is a risk that supply of the Service may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
      4. we have suspended supply of the Service for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than one month; or
      5. you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
    3. Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). You have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.
    4. When consumers do not have a right to change their minds. Your right as a consumer to change your mind does not apply in respect of digital Services after you have started to stream these.
    5. How long do consumers have to change their minds? You have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your order, or, if earlier, until you start streaming. If we delivered the digital content to you immediately, you will have been required to agree to this when ordering. We provide a 2 day trial period and we do not collect any charge against your means of payment until following the end of the second day. Please ensure you advise us of cancelation of the subscription by midnight (GMT) on that second day. Subject to the trial period you will not have a right thereafter to change your mind.
    6. Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind (Subscriptions). If you want to end the contract in these circumstances, just contact us to let us know. The contract will not end until the next renewal date after the day on which you contact us provided that you have given at least 24 hours prior notice if you should wish to end your contract just before the renewal date.
  9. OUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
    1. We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if:
      1. 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;
      2. we find that you are not in compliance with the licence terms under which a Service is provided.
    2. We may withdraw a Service or we may convert it into a paid for Service. We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing a Service or are, in future, requiring payment of a subscription or one off payment to access the Service. We will let you know at least one month in advance of our stopping the supply of the Service on existing terms.

  11. YOUR RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF DEFECTIVE SERVICES IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER
    1. If you are a consumer 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 products. Nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights.

    Summary of your key legal rights

    This is a summary of your key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice Website or call 03454 04 05 06.

    The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says digital content must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality:

    a) If your digital content is faulty, you're entitled to a repair or a replacement.

    b) If the fault can't be fixed, or if it hasn't been fixed within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience, you can get some or all of your money back

    c) If you can show the fault has damaged your device and we haven't used reasonable care and skill, you may be entitled to a repair or compensation

    See also clause 8.3.

    If your product is services, for example a one to one consultancy or mentoring session, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says:

    a) You can ask us to repeat or fix a service if it's not carried out with reasonable care and skill, or get some money back if we can't fix it.

    b) If you haven't agreed a price beforehand, what you're asked to pay must be reasonable.

    c) If you haven't agreed a time beforehand, it must be carried out within a reasonable time.

    See also clause 8.2.

  12. PRICE AND PAYMENT
    1. Where to find the price for the Service you subscribe to. The price of a Service (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Service advised to you is correct. However please see clause 12.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
    2. 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 product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
    3. 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 Services correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product'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.
    4. When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment in sterling with Debit and Credit Cards listed on our Website. When you must pay depends on what product you are buying:
      1. For digital content, you must pay for the products before you download them.
      2. For Services, you must make an advance payment of the price of the services, before we start providing them.
    5. 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 4% above the base rate from time to time being of Barclays Bank Plc. 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.
    6. What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.
  13. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU
    1. 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.
    2. 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 products as summarised at clause 11.1
    3. When we are liable for damage caused by defective digital content. 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. However, 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.
    4. We are not liable for business losses. If you are a consumer we only supply the products for to you for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose our liability to you will be limited as set out in clause 14.
  14. HOW WE MAY USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

    How we will use your personal information. We will only use your personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy

  15. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
    1. We may transfer this Agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract If you are unhappy with the transfer you may contact us to end the contract within one week of us telling you about it and we will refund you any payments you have made in advance for Services not provided.
    2. You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.
    3. Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
    4. 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.
    5. 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.
    6. Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a consumer. 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.
    7. Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a business. If you are a business, any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with a contract between us or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim.
