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:

  • If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back),;
  • If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;
  • If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the services or digital content, see clause 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;
  • 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 8.3;
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 services or digital content which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

  • we have told you about an upcoming change to the services or digital content or these terms which you do not agree to;
  • we have told you about an error in the price or description of the services or digital content you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
  • there is a risk that supply of services or digital content may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
  • we have suspended supply of services or digital content for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 14 days; or
  • you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
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 services or digital content 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.
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:

  • digital products after you have started to download or stream these; and
  • services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running. This will be the case when you use our Platform to book services with our Professionals because our booking services will have been completed and payment taken from you as soon as the booking is made.
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.

  • Have you bought services (for example, a membership of our Platform)? 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.
  • Have you bought digital content for download or streaming (for example, you may have purchased a training video from our Platform)? 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.
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. 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. The contract will not end until [1 calendar month] after the day on which you contact us. We will refund any advance payment you have made for services or digital content which will not be provided to you. For example, if you tell us you want to end the contract on 4 February we will continue to supply the services or digital content until 3 March. We will only charge you for supplying the services or digital content up to 3 March and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the supply of the services or digital content after 3 March.
