5. Subscriptions, Paid Content, Pricing and Availability
- 5.1 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all descriptions of Paid Content, Subscriptions and Single Program Access available from Us correspond to the actual Paid Content and delivery model that the Principal will receive.
- 5.2 We may from time to time change Our prices. Changes in price will not affect any Subscription or Single Program Access that the Principal has already purchased but will apply to any subsequent renewal or new Subscription or Single Program Access. We will inform the Principal of any change in price for Subscriptions at least 30 days before the change is due to take effect. If the Principal do not agree to such a change, the Principal may cancel the Contract for a Subscription as described in sub-Clause 12.1.
- 5.3 Minor changes may, from time to time, be made to certain Paid Content, for example, to reflect changes in the subject matter of the Paid Content, relevant laws and regulatory requirements, or to address technical or security issues. These changes will not alter the main characteristics of the Paid Content and should not normally affect the Users’ use of that Paid Content. However, if any change is made that would affect the Users’ use of the Paid Content, suitable information will be provided to the Principal.
- 5.4 In some cases, as described in the relevant content descriptions, We may also make more significant changes to the Paid Content. If We do so, We will inform the Principal at least 30 days before the changes are due to take effect. If the Principal do not agree to the changes, the Principal may cancel the Contract as described in sub-Clause 12.1.
- 5.5 Where any updates are made to Paid Content, that Paid Content will continue to match Our description of it as provided to the Principal before the Principal purchased the Subscription or the Single Program Access for the Users to access the Paid Content. Please note that this does not prevent Us from updating and/or enhancing the Paid Content, thereby going beyond the original description.
- 5.6 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all prices shown on Our Site are correct at the time of going online. Changes in price will not affect any order that the Principal have already placed (please note sub-Clause 5.10 regarding VAT, however).
- 5.7 All prices are checked by Us before We accept the Principal’s order. In the unlikely event that We have shown incorrect pricing information, We will contact the Principal in writing to inform the Principal of the mistake. If the correct price is lower than that shown when the Principal made the Principal’s order, we will simply charge the Principal the lower amount and continue processing the Principal’s order. If the correct price is higher, We will give the Principal the option to purchase the Subscription or the Single Program Access at the correct price or to cancel the Principal’s order (or the affected part of it). We will not proceed with processing the Principal’s order in this case until the Principal respond. If We do not receive a response from the Principal within 7 days, We will treat the Principal’s order as cancelled and notify the Principal of this in writing.
- 5.8 If We discover an error in the price or description of the Subscription or the Single Program Access after the Principal’s order is processed, We will inform the Principal immediately and make all reasonable efforts to correct the error. The Principal may, however, have the right to cancel the Contract if this happens. If We inform the Principal of such an error and the Principal do wish to cancel the Contract, please refer to sub-Clause 12.3.
- 5.9 If the price of the Subscription or the Single Program Access that the Principal has ordered changes between the Principal’s order being placed and Us processing that order and taking payment, the Principal will be charged the price shown on Our Site at the time of placing the Principal’s order.
- 5.10 All prices on Our Site include VAT if applicable for the Principal as determined at time of check out. If the VAT rate changes between the Principal’s order being placed and Us taking payment, the amount of VAT payable will be automatically adjusted when taking payment.
6. Orders – How Contracts Are Formed
- 6.1 Our Site will guide the Principal through the process of purchasing the Subscription or the Single Program Access. Before completing the Principal’s purchase, the Principal will be given the opportunity to review the Principal’s order and amend it. The Principal should ensure that the order is carefully checked before submitting it.
- 6.2 If, during the order process, the Principal provide Us with incorrect or incomplete information, please contact Us as soon as possible. If We are unable to process the Principal’s order due to incorrect or incomplete information, We will contact the Representative to ask to correct it. If the Representative do not give us the accurate or complete information within a reasonable time of Our request, We will cancel the Principal’s order and treat the Contract as being at an end. We will not be responsible for any delay in the availability of Paid Content that results from the Principal providing incorrect or incomplete information.
- 6.3 No part of Our Site constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance. The Principal’s order to purchase a Subscription or Single Program Access constitutes a contractual offer that We may, at Our sole discretion, accept. Our acceptance is indicated by Us sending the Principal an Order Confirmation by email. Only once We have sent the Principal an Order Confirmation will there be a legally binding Contract between Us and the Principal.

6.4.4 For Subscriptions: The duration of the Subscription and the renewal date.
- 6.5 In the unlikely event that We do not accept or cannot fulfil the Principal’s order for any reason, We will explain why in writing. No payment will be taken under normal circumstances.
- 6.6 Any refunds under this Clause 6 will be issued to the Principal as soon as possible, and in any event within 14 calendar days of the day on which the event triggering the refund occurs.
- 6.7 Refunds under this Clause 6 will be made using the same payment method that the Principal used when purchasing the Principal Subscription.
7. Payment
- 7.1 The Principal’s payment obligations for the Subscription is activated when the Principal receives the Order Confirmation, and payment for Subscriptions or Single Program Access must generally be made in advance; however, the payment for the Subscription or Single Program Access may at Our discretion be in instalments as described on Our Site, if applicable.
- 7.2 The Principal’s chosen payment method will be charged when we process the Principal’s order and send the Principal an Order Confirmation.
- 7.3 We accept the following methods of payment on Our Site :
7.3.2 BACs for UK bank transfers if invoiced.
- 7.4 For the purchase of a Subscription or Single Program Access for multiple Users payment cannot be executed directly on Our Site. We will generate an invoice in the name of the Principal. The invoice must be paid within 7 days.
- 7.5 If the Principal do not make any payment due to Us on time, We will suspend the Principal’s and consequently the Users’ access to the Paid Content. We may at Our discretion choose to send the Principal a reminder for payment, and if the Principal do not make payment within 3 calendar days of Our reminder, We may cancel the Contract. Any outstanding sums due to Us will remain due and payable.
- 7.6 If the Principal believe that We have charged the Principal an incorrect amount, please contact Us as soon as reasonably possible to let us know.

- 8.2 In some limited circumstances, We may need to suspend the provision of Paid Content (in full or in part) for one or more of the following reasons:
8.2.2 To update the Paid Content including but not limited to in order to comply with relevant changes in the law or other regulatory requirements;
8.2.3 To make more significant changes to the Paid Content, as described above in sub-Clause 5.4.
- 8.3 If We need to suspend availability of the Paid Content for any of the reasons set out in sub-Clause 8.2, We will inform the Principal in advance of the suspension and explain why it is necessary (unless We need to suspend availability for urgent or emergency reasons such as a dangerous problem with the Paid Content, in which case We will inform the Principal as soon as reasonably possible after suspension). If the suspension lasts for more than 30 calendar days, the Principal may end the Contract as described below in sub-Clause 12.2.
- 8.4 We may suspend provision of the Paid Content if We do not receive payment on time from the Principal. We will inform the Principal of the non-payment on or after the due date, however if the Principal do not make payment within 3 calendar days of Our notice, We may suspend provision of the Paid Content until We have received all outstanding sums due from the Principal. If We do suspend provision of the Paid Content, We will inform the Principal of the suspension.
- 8.5 Any refunds under this Clause 8 will be issued to the Principal as soon as possible, and in any event within 14 calendar days of the day on which the event triggering the refund occurs.

9.3.2 The Principal and the Users must at all times comply with the Terms of Use including the Acceptable Usage Policy available from our Terms of Use and Acceptable Usage Policy. The Principal shall be jointly and severally liable for such compliance by the Users.
