- YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
9.1. 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 and when you decide to end the contract.
9.1.1. 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 a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see Clause 12;
9.1.2. If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see Clause 9.2;
9.1.3. If you have just changed your mind about the product or Service, see Clause 9.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods;
9.1.4. In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see Clause 9.6.
9.2. 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 9.2.1 – 9.2.6 below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any Services which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
9.2.1. we have told you about an upcoming change to the Services or these terms which you do not agree to;
9.2.2. we have told you about an error in the price or description of the Services you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
9.2.3. there is a risk that supply of the Services may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
9.2.4. we have suspended supply of the Services for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 3 months; or
9.2.5. you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
9.3. Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). 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.
9.4. When you don’t have the right to change your mind. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:
9.4.1. digital products after you have started to download or stream these;
9.4.2. services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation
period is still running;
9.4.3. products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these
have been unsealed after you receive them;
9.4.4. sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software,
once these products are unsealed after you receive them; and
9.4.5. any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after
their delivery.
9.5. How long do I have to change my mind? How long you have depends on what
you have ordered and how it is delivered.
9.5.1. Have you bought services (for example, the Toxic non-Metal
Chemical profile)? 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.
9.5.2. Have you bought digital content for download or streaming? If so, you have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your order, or, if earlier, until you start downloading or streaming. If we delivered the digital content to you immediately, and you agreed to this
when ordering, you will not have a right to change your mind.
9.5.3. Have you bought goods? If so you have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless 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 to change your mind about the goods.
9.6. 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 do not have a right to change your mind (see Clause 9.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed. 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 the contract in these circumstances, just contact us to let us know. We will refund any advance payment you have made for Services which will not be provided to you
but will deduct any cost incurred in providing the Services up to that point.

- PRICE AND PAYMENT
14.1. Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes
VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. 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.
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.
14.3. What happens if we got 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. When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with most
credit and buying:
debit cards. When you must pay depends on what product you are

For services, you must make advance payment of the price of the services, before we start providing them.

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 Lloyds Bank Plc 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.
- OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER
15.1. We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
15.2. We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Services as summarised at Clause 13.1 and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
15.3. When we are liable for damage caused by defective digital content. If defective digital content which we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage which was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.
15.4. We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
- OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
16.1. We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights
and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.
16.2. You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer our guarantee). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.
16.3. If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
16.4. 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. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
16.5. Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland, you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts.
