the headings to the paragraphs and schedules (if any) to this agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation.
any agreement by either party not to do or omit to do something includes an obligation not to allow some other person to do or omit to do that same thing.
this agreement is made only in the English language. If there is any conflict in meaning between the English language version of this agreement and any version or translation of this agreement in any other language, the English language version shall prevail.
In entering into this agreement you have not relied on any representation or information from any source except the definition and explanation of the Services given on Our Website.
Subject to these terms and conditions, we agree to provide to you some or all of the Services described on Our Website at the prices we charge from time to time.
You acknowledge that you understand exactly what is included in the Services and you are satisfied that the Services are suitable and satisfactory for your requirements.
So far as we allow use of our Intellectual Property, we grant a licence to you, limited to the terms set out in this agreement.
[Our contract with you and licence to you last for one year from the date of start / payment. Any continuation by us or by you after the expiry of one year is a new contract in the terms then shown on Our Website. Your continued use of our Services after that shall be deemed acceptance by you of the changed Service, system and/or terms.
The contract between us comes into existence when we receive payment from you for a Service.
We may change this agreement and / or the way we provide the Services, at any time. If we do:
the change will take effect when we Post it on Our Website.
we will give you notice of the change. If you do not accept the change, we will refund the money you have paid for the Service to date.
if you make any payment for Services or goods in the future, you will do so under the terms Posted on Our Website at that time.
When you visit Our Website, you accept responsibility for any action done by any person using your name, account or password. You should take all necessary steps to ensure that the password is kept confidential and secure and should inform us immediately if you have any reason to believe that your password has become known to anyone else, or if the password is being, or is likely to be, used in an unauthorised manner.
You agree that you have provided accurate, up to date, and complete information about yourself. We are not responsible for any error made as a result of such information being inaccurate.
You agree to notify us of any changes in your information immediately it occurs. If you do not do so, we may terminate your account.
The prices payable for Services are clearly set out on Our Website.
The price charged for any Services may differ from one country to another. You may not be entitled to the lowest price unless you reside in the qualifying country.
Prices are inclusive of any applicable value added tax or other sales tax.
If, by mistake, we have under-priced a Service, we will not be liable to supply that Service to you at the stated price, provided that we notify you before we provide it to you.
Any details given by us in relation to exchange rates are approximate only and may vary from time to time.
You will pay all sums due to us under this agreement by the means specified without any set-off, deduction or counter-claim.
All monies paid by you to us are non-refundable and cancellation and/or termination of this agreement by you or us at any time for any reason will not entitle you to a refund of monies paid.
We take care to make Our Website safe for you to use.
Card payments are not processed through pages controlled by us. We use one or more online payment service providers who will encrypt your card or bank account details in a secure environment.
This paragraph applies if and only if, you are a consumer as defined in the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 2002 (“the Act”).
For all purposes at law, the contract between us is not made until you have agreed these terms, whether via Our Website or in hard copy, and we have agreed in writing to provide the Service you want.
Whether or not you have paid any money to us at that time is neither relevant to the start of the contract or your right to cancel.
The contract is not made automatically at the point when you have agreed to these contract terms. That is merely your offer. The contract is made later, when we accept and agree to provide the Service you want.
Most customers want us to supply a Service before the expiry of the 7 days cancellation period. Our business system therefore operates on the basis that we supply a Service as soon as we can, without waiting for the 7 days cancellation period to expire.
Before we agree to supply a Service, we therefore ask that you give up your right to cancel, as the law allow. If you do not agree, we shall not be able to Work for you within 7 days of receiving your order.
So far as our Service is continuing, you may cancel it at any time before we have completely provided it. If you do, we will return to you any money paid after deduction of an appropriate amount to cover any part of the Service we have supplied, including work we may not by then have told you about.
Our privacy policy is strong and precise. It complies fully with the relevant law.
If you Post Content to any public area of Our Website it becomes available in the public domain. We have no control who sees it or what anyone does with it.
Even if access to your text is behind a user registration it remains effectively in the public domain because someone has only to register and log in, to access it. You should therefore avoid Posting unnecessary confidential information.
We need the freedom to be able to publicise our Services and your own use of them. You therefore now irrevocably grant us the right and licence to edit, copy, publish, distribute, translate and otherwise use any Content that you place on Our Website, in public domains and in any medium. You represent and warrant that you are authorised to grant all such rights.
We will use that licence only for commercial purposes of the business of Our Website and will stop using it after a commercially reasonable period of time.
You agree to waive your right to be identified as the author and your right to object to derogatory treatment of your work as provided in the Copyright Act 1978.
Posting content of any sort does not change your ownership of the copyright in it. We have no claim over it and we will not protect your rights for you.
You understand that you are personally responsible for your breach of someone else’s intellectual property rights, defamation, or any law, which may occur as a result of any Content having been Posted by you;
You accept all risk and responsibility for determining whether any Content is in the public domain and not confidential.
Please notify us of any security breach or unauthorised use of your account.
