We will try to process your request for any Chargeable Content as promptly as we can, but we do not guarantee how quickly the Chargeable Content will be available to you, or that it will be available by any specified date or time.
    24. If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product or refund you for any fees that have been debited.

      Price and payment terms

    25. What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can provide our products to you, for example, payment details to deduct a subscription fee. 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 or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
    26. You must ensure that you provide complete and accurate payment information. By submitting payment information to us when you purchase our product you warrant that you are entitled, or authorised, to use that payment method, including any vouchers. In the event of an unauthorised payment we reserve the right to suspend or terminate our contract with you with immediate effect and may investigate the matter further.
    27. We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date your subscription starts or the date your course is scheduled, we may 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.
    28. What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our efforts, our website or App may refer to incorrect product prices. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the 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 has occurred, we reserve the right to end the contract upon written notice to you and refund you any sums you have paid.
    29. What to do if you think a price is wrong. If you think a price is wrong please contact us as soon as possible to let us know and we will investigate this for you.
    30. We can charge interest if you pay late. 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 Barclays Bank 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 judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
    31. 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).

      Your rights to make changes

    32. If you wish to make a change to the product you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible.

    55. If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the clauses of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.
    56. Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.

    57. Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings.

  3. Subscription service. This Part 2 applies to any digital Chargeable Content available through our website and App. Our Chargeable Content services are subject to subscription fees and provide you with access to specified elements of our online education materials for a specified period of time.
    1. When you sign up to, and pay for, any Chargeable Content we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right, without the right to grant sub-licences, to permit you to use the Chargeable Content for the duration of the subscription term solely for your general professional development. You must not share your access, or allow, anyone else to view the Free or Chargeable Content and/or Services accessed through your user account or otherwise.
    2. Where to find the subscription fees. The prices for our Chargeable Content (which include VAT) will be the prices indicated on our website. Our subscriptions run for the specified length of time and cannot be cancelled until the term has ended, this also applies for any subsequent renewal period.

      When you must pay and how you must pay. You can pay using a credit card, debit card or voucher code. You must pay in full for the subscription in advance at the time of order before you will have access to the Chargeable Content, the subscription length for the package of Chargeable Content you choose is set out on our website and starts when the Chargable Content is made available to you. We cannot provide an extension of any subscription. If you wish to access the Chargeable Content beyond the existing term, you will be required to purchase a new subscription.

    3. Subscriptions will not automatically renew.
    4. When we will provide the Chargeable Content. When you make an order we will let you know when you can login and have access to the Chargeable Content. We will continue to provide you with access to the Chargeable Content until the subscription ends.
    5. We are not responsible for delays. If your access to the Chargeable Content is delayed 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, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for the subscription fees you have paid, if you have not been able to gain any access to the Chargeable Content.
    6. Reasons we may suspend the subscription. We do not guarantee that you will always have access to the Chargeable Content or our website, as we may have to suspend access on occasion to:
      1. deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
      2. update the digital content to reflect our users' needs; or
      3. make changes to accommodate our business.
    7. Your rights if we suspend access to the Chargeable Content. We will use reasonable endeavours to contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending access to the Chargeable Content (unless the problem is urgent or an emergency). If we have to suspend the subscription for a continuous period longer than 6 weeks we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for the subscription while access is suspended. You may contact us to end the contract if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 6 weeks and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the subscription in respect of the period after you end the contract.
    8. We may also suspend the subscription if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the subscription when you are supposed to and you still do not make payment within 10 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend your access to the Chargeable Content until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We may also charge you interest in accordance with clause 2.30. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending the subscription.

    1. You are only permitted to download or stream our App on one device at a time, however you may make a copy of our App onto a maximum of two devices for necessary back-up purposes only. Making more copies than permitted by this clause 4.1 shall constitute an infringement.
