If so, this will have been stated in the description of the Products on our website. We will contact you to ask for this information. 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 either end the contract (and ause 10.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result.

You may contact us to end the contract for a Product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 90 days and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the Product in respect of the period after you end the contract.

We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the Products. We will not suspend the Products where you dispute the unpaid invoice (see 14.7). We will not charge you for the Products during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the Products we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see 14.6).

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, when you decide to end the contract and whether you are a consumer or business customer:

(a) If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the Product repaired or replaced or re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see 12 if you are a consumer and 13 if you are a business;

5

  1. (b)  If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see 8.2;
  2. (c)  If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the Product, see 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;
  3. (d)  In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your 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 (e) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any Products which have not been provided

and you (a)

(b) (c) (d)

(e)

may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

we have told you about an upcoming change to the Product or these terms which you do not agree to (see 6.2);

we have told you about an error in the price or description of the Product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;

there is a risk that supply of the Products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;

we have suspended supply of the Products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than [90 days]; or

you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

  1. 8.3  Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a consumer then for most Products bought online 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.
  2. 8.4  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:
    1. (a)  digital Products after you have started to download or stream these;
    2. (b)  services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running;
    3. (c)  Products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them;
    4. (d)  sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software, once these Products are unsealed after you receive them; and
    5. (e)  any Products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
  3. 8.5  How long do consumers have to change their minds? If you are a consumer, how long you have to change your mind depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered.

6

  1. (a)  Have you bought services and/or digital content? If so, you have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your order. 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.
  2. (b)  Have you bought goods?, if so you have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless:
    1. (i)  Your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery.
    2. (ii)  Your goods are for regular delivery over a set period. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the first delivery of the goods.

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 are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind (see clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods or digital content is completed when the Product is delivered, downloaded or streamed and paid for. A contract for services is completed when we have finished providing the services and you have paid for them. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for Products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.

    2. (b)  The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer.

    3. (c)  Where the Product is a service, 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.
  3. 9.6  When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind then:

    1. (a)  conform in all material respects with their description; and
    2. (b)  be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship.

We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 14.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Product you order.
  2. 14.2  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. 14.3  What happens if we get the price wrong? It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the Product's 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 unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

  5. 14.5  Our right of set-off if you are a business customer. If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).

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% a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. 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 judgement.
