- you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and

- If you are acting on behalf of a company or other business, you further warrant that you personally have the authority to bind that company or business on whose behalf you are placing an order.
4. Buying services
4.1 You can only apply for membership or place an order for services once you have successfully registered an account with us. Information that you provide while registering an account with us must be complete and accurate. You agree that we may block access to your account and the Services we supply if we reasonably believe that the information you have supplied is inaccurate. You must keep your user name and password secret at all times and not allow anyone else to use it. You must contact us immediately if you believe your user name and password has become known to someone else.
4.2 Before you make a membership application or submit an order you will be shown your transaction on screen including details of the Services you have wish to order and the price payable. You will then have an opportunity to identify and correct any input errors in your order for the Services.
4.3 You will only be allowed to submit an order once you have registered a credit card or debit card with an external payment services provider or set up a paperless direct debit.
4.4 After placing an order for the Services we will give you details of the Services you have ordered. We will send the same details to you in an email, together with an invoice, to the email address you provided when you registered your account with us.
4.5 You can view copies of the invoices we have sent you and details of what you have purchased from our website by logging into your account.
5. How the contract is formed between you and us
5.1 After submitting an application, you will receive an e-mail from us accepting your application and, if appropriate, letting you know that the Membership Subscription has been activated (“Acceptance Confirmation”). Your application constitutes an offer to us to buy our Services and all applications are subject to acceptance by us. The contract between us (“Contract”) will only be formed when we send you the Acceptance Confirmation. We may also decline your application for any reason, in which case we will tell you so.
5.2 The Contract will relate only to those Services we have confirmed in the Acceptance Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Services which may have been part of your order until such Services have been confirmed in a separate Acceptance Confirmation.
6. Our status
6.1 We may provide links on our site to the websites of other companies, whether affiliated with us or not. We cannot give any undertaking that products or services you purchase from companies to whose website we have provided a link on our website will be of satisfactory quality, and any such warranties are disclaimed by us absolutely. This disclaimer does not affect your statutory rights against the third party seller.
7. Consumer rights
7.1 If you are applying or buying as an individual (i.e., not within the course of your business), ordinarily, the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 allow you to cancel the Contract at any time within seven (7) working days, beginning on the day after you received the Acceptance Confirmation. However, by placing your order for the Services, you agree to us starting supply of those Services before the end of the seven working day cancellation period referred to here. As such, you will not have the right to cancel the Contract under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.
7.2 This provision does not otherwise affect your statutory rights.
9. Price and payment
9.1 The price of any Services will be as quoted on our website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. These prices exclude VAT.
9.2 The total cost of your order of the Services will be set out clearly in your Shopping Basket before you submit your order for the Services.
9.3 Prices are liable to change at any time. We will notify you of a change in our prices, including membership subscription levels, at least thirty (30) days before the price increase comes into force. Any such price increase will not be effective until the Minimum Term (as defined in clause 20.3) expires. If you do not agree to such price changes, please cancel your Services in accordance with clause 20.3.1. If you do not cancel you will be deemed to have accepted the new prices, and they will be charged to the credit card, debit card or other payment method registered to your account.
9.4 Our website contains the details of a number of Services and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Services listed on our website may be incorrectly priced. Where a Service’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when accepting your order. If a Service’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our website, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before accepting your order, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
9.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Services to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Acceptance Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
9.6 You must register a payment method for the Services you have ordered before submitting your order. You may pay by credit or debit card or, alternatively, you may set up a paperless direct debit against your account. In the case of membership applications, we will only take payment from the payment method you have registered against your account once the application has been approved. For other Services, payment will be taken immediately but if we subsequently reject your order, we will refund the payment you have made to the credit card, debit card or other account you used to make the payment.
9.7 Time for payment shall be of the essence. No payment shall be deemed to have been received until we have received cleared funds. If your chosen method of payment is not authorised by your credit card provider or bank, you hereby authorise us to seek payment from any other credit card, debit card or direct debit registered against your account. Further, if your payment is still not authorised we may, at our discretion, suspend or terminate any Services we provide to you from time to time, even if payment in respect of such Services is not outstanding.

- the problem arises because of misuse.
10.4 We reserve the right to modify the Services without notice to you provided such modification does not adversely effect your access to, or use of, the Services or detract from the overall performance of the Services. Any change which may have such adverse effect on you or may detract from the overall performance of the Services will be notified to you at least sixty (60) days prior to the change taking effect.
