Please check these terms and conditions periodically for changes. Your continued use of this site and purchase of services or products on this site following the posting of changes to these terms and conditions will mean you accept those changes. Please check the terms before every purchase. If the revised terms apply to any existing provision of services, we will notify you of the changes.

3. Privacy policy

Registration and other information provided by you is subject to our Privacy Policy and shall only be used in accordance with it. For more information, please go to our Privacy Policy.

4. Age restriction

You shall not purchase any services or products from our site if you are below the age of 18 years old because under this age, you do not have legal capacity to enter into a contract.

5. Acceptance of order

5.1 These Terms will become binding on you and us and a Contract will come into effect between you and us only upon our written acceptance of the order issued to you by email (Email Confirmation) or when we contact you to tell you that we are able to provide the services or products to you. We are not bound by the order unless we accept it in writing.

5.2 If there is any conflict between these Terms and any term of the order, the order will take priority.

6. Entire Agreement

These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and us and supersedes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between us, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter.

7. Representations

7.1 You acknowledge and agree that by entering into this Contract with us you do not rely on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in these Terms or the Privacy Policy.

7.2 You shall not have any claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation against us based on any statement in this Contract.

7.3 Except as expressly stated in these Terms, we do not give any representation, warranties or undertakings in relation to the services. Any representation, condition or warranty which might be implied or incorporated into these Terms by statute, common law or otherwise is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8. Provisions of services

8.1 We will supply the services to you from the date you complete your order until the completion date set out in the order.

8.2 We will make every effort to complete the services on time. However, there may be delays due to an Event Outside Our Control. See clause 14 below for our responsibilities when an Event Outside Our Control happens.

8.3 We may have to suspend the services if we have to deal with technical problems, or to make improvements agreed between you and us in writing to the services. We will contact you to let you know in advance where this occurs, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. You do not have to pay for the services while they are suspended under this clause 8.3 but this does not affect your obligation to pay for any invoices we have already sent you.

8.4 If you do not pay us for the services when you are supposed to, we may suspend the services with immediate effect until you have paid us the outstanding amounts (except where you validly dispute an invoice). We will contact you to tell you this. This does not affect our right to charge you interest.

8.5 If your digital product purchase includes a physical product as a bonus, this will not be dispatched until after after your "no questions asked guarantee" time limit has elapsed.

9. If there is a problem with the services

9.1 In the unlikely event that there is any defect with the services: 

  • please contact us and tell us as soon as reasonably possible;
  • please give us a reasonable opportunity to repair or fix and defect; and
  • we will use every effort to repair or fix the defect within 7 days.

9.2 As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to services not carried out with reasonable skill and care, or if the materials we use are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. Nothing in these Terms will affect these legal rights.

9.3 Before we begin to provide the services, you have the following rights to cancel our services:

  • you may cancel any order for Services at any time up to 24 hours before the start date for the services via email. We will confirm your cancellation in writing via email to you;
  • if you cancel an Order under clause 9.3 (a) and you have made any payment in advance for services that have not been provided to you, we will refund these amounts to you;
  • however, if you cancel an order for services and we have already started work on your order by that time, you will pay us any costs we reasonably incurred in starting to fulfil the order, and this charge will be deducted from any refund that is due to you or, if no refund is due to you, invoiced to you. We will tell you what these costs are when you contact us. However, where you have cancelled an order because of our failure to comply with these Terms (except where we have been affected by an Event Outside Our Control), you do not have to make any payment to us.

9.4 If the Contract is of an indefinite duration, once we have begun to provide the services to you, you may cancel the contract for services with immediate effect by giving us written notice if:

  • we are affected by an Event Outside Our Control.

12. Price and payment

12.1 Prices of the services are specified on our site and confirmed on the checkout page. We may change our prices any time, but that will not affect the prices for confirmed orders.

12.2 Our prices are inclusive of VAT. However, if there is a change in the rate of VAT between the date of the order and the date of delivery or performance, the rate of VAT that you pay will be adjusted, unless you have already paid full purchase price prior to the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

12.3 Despite our best efforts, there may be incorrect prices on some of the services or products. If the correct price is less than a price shown on our site, the lower amount will be charged. If the correct price is higher than the price specified on our site, we will inform you of this and ask whether you wish to continue with the order with the actual higher price. If the error in price is obvious, unmistakeable and mispricing could have been recognised reasonably by you, we will not be liable to provide the services or products to you at the lower price that was incorrect.

12.4 Payment for services is to be made in advance by credit or debit card except where agreed otherwise in writing between us.

You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
