If our supply of our service is delayed by an event outside our control (including without limitation technical failures in connection with our site or websites or content available or provided by a third party) 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 our service you have paid for but not received. 

7.3  What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply our service to you or determine if you are eligible for membership. If so, this will have been stated in the application process on our website or during your joining process. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may end the contract (and clause 10.2 will apply). We will not be responsible for not supplying any part of our service if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

7.5  Your rights if we suspend the supply of our service. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of our service, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. You may contact us to end the contract for our 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 our service in respect of the period after you end the contract.  Alternatively, we may offer you an extension to your subscription without charge in the event that you decide not to end the contract.

7.6  We may also suspend supply of our service if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for our service when you are supposed to (see clause 12.4) and you still do not make payment within 14 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of our service until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of our service. We will not suspend our service where you dispute the unpaid invoice (see clause 12.6). We will not charge you for our service during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending our service we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 12.5).  

8. Your rights to end the contract

8.1  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 and when you decide to end the contract:
(a)  If our service has been described incorrectly, you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 11;
(b)  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;
(c)  If you have just changed your mind about our service, see clause 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions;
(d)  In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see clause 8.6.

8.2  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 (a) to (d) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any our service which have not been provided. The reasons are:
(a)  we have told you about an error in the price or description of our service and you do not wish to proceed;
(b)  there is a risk that supply of our service may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control; 
(c)  we have suspended supply of our 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 1 month; or
(d)  you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong. 

8.3  Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most our services bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund if you are dealing with us as a consumer.  These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms. 

8.4  When you don't have the right to change your mind.  You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of our services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running.

8.5  How long do I have to change my mind. You have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your application for membership. However, once we have completed the services you cannot change your mind, even if the period is still running. If you cancel after we have started the services, you must pay us for the services provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind.

8.6  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 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed. A contract for services is completed when we have finished providing the services and you have paid for them. If you want to end the contract in these circumstances, just contact us to let us know. The contract will not end until at least 1 complete calendar month has expired after the day on which you contact us. We will refund any advance payment you have made for our service which will not be provided to you. For example, if you tell us you want to end the contract on 4 February we will continue to supply our service until 31 March. We will only charge you for supplying our service up to 31 March and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the supply of our service after 31 March.

9.3  Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind we may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied, ending with the time when you told us you had changed your mind. The amount will be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.

You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount. 

12.6  What to do if you think our charges are wrong. If you think are charges are 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.
