[You will not be charged while availability is suspended and your Subscription will be extended by a period equivalent to the length of the suspension [(unless the period of suspension is less than 5 working days)]]. If the suspension lasts (or We tell you that it is going to last) for more than 5 working days, you may end the Contract as described below in sub-Clause 12.2.

We may suspend provision of the Paid Content if We do not receive payment on time from you. We will inform you of the non-payment on the due date, however if you do not make payment within 5 working days of Our notice, We may suspend provision of the Paid Content until We have received all outstanding sums due from you. If We do suspend provision of the Paid Content, We will inform you of the suspension. You will not be charged for any Paid Content while provision is suspended.

[Please note that We will not be liable under this Clause 10 if We informed you of the fault(s) or other problems with particular Paid Content before you accessed it and it is that same issue that has now caused the problem (for example, if the Paid Content in question is an alpha or beta version and We have warned you that it may contain faults that could harm your device or other digital content); if you have purchased the Paid Content for an unsuitable purpose that is neither obvious nor made known to Us and the problem has resulted from your use of the Paid Content for that purpose; or if the problem is the result of misuse or intentional or careless damage.]

If there is a problem with any Paid Content, please contact Us at help@theeynetwork.co.uk or visit the contact page on Our Site to inform of the problem.

Refunds (whether full or partial, including reductions in price) under this Clause 10 will be issued within 14 calendar days of the day on which We agree that you are entitled to the refund.

Refunds under this Clause 10 will be made using the same payment method that you used when purchasing your Subscription [unless you specifically request that We make a refund using a different method].

For further information on your rights as a consumer, please contact your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Office.

Cancelling Your Subscription

If you are a consumer, by default you have a legal right to a “cooling-off” period within which you can cancel the Contract for any reason, including if you have changed your mind, and receive a refund. The period begins once We have sent you your Subscription Confirmation (i.e. when the Contract between you and Us is formed) and ends when you access (e.g. download or stream) the Paid Content, or 14 calendar days after the date of Our Subscription Confirmation, whichever occurs first.

After the cooling-off period, you may cancel your Subscription at any time, however subject to sub-Clause 11.3 and Clause 12, We cannot offer any refunds and you will continue to have access to the Paid Content for the remainder of your current Subscription (up until the renewal or expiry date, as applicable), whereupon the Contract will end.

If you purchase a Subscription by mistake (or allow your Subscription to renew by mistake), please inform Us as soon as possible and do not attempt to access any Paid Content. Provided you have not accessed any Paid Content since the start date (or renewal date, as appropriate) of the Subscription We will be able to cancel the Subscription and issue a full refund. If you have accessed any Paid Content once the Subscription has started, We will not be able to offer any refund and you will continue to have access to the Paid Content for the remainder of the Subscription (up until the renewal or expiry date, as applicable).

If you wish to exercise your right to cancel under this Clause 11, you may inform Us of your cancellation in any way you wish, however for your convenience We offer a cancellation form on Our Site and will include a link to it with the Subscription Confirmation.

Your Other Rights to End the Contract

You may end the Contract at any time if We have informed you of a forthcoming change to your Subscription or the Paid Content (as described in sub-Clauses 5.3 or 5.5), or to these Terms of Sale that you do not agree to. If the change is set to take effect or apply to you before the end of your current Subscription, We will issue you with a pro-rated refund equal to the remaining time left in that Subscription. If the change will not take effect or apply to you until the expiry of your current Subscription, the Contract will end at the end of that Subscription period and you will continue to have access to the Paid Content until that date.

If We have suspended availability of All Paid Content for more than 5 working days, or We have informed you that We are going to suspend availability for more than 5 working days, you may end the Contract immediately, as described in sub-Clause 8.4. If you end the Contract for this reason, We will issue you with a pro-rata refund for annual subscriptions.

If there is a risk that availability of the Paid Content will be significantly delayed because of events outside of Our control, you may end the Contract immediately. If you end the Contract for this reason, We will not issue you a refund.

If We inform you of an error in the price or description of your Subscription or the Paid Content and you wish to end the Contract as a result, you may end it immediately. If you end the Contract for this reason, We will issue you with a pro-rata refund for annual subscriptions.

You also have a legal right to end the Contract at any time if We are in breach of it. You may also be entitled to a full or partial refund and compensation. For more details of your legal rights, please refer to your local Citizens Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Office.

Refunds under this Clause 12 will be made within 14 calendar days of the date on which your cancellation becomes effective, using the same payment method that you used when purchasing your Subscription [unless you specifically request that We make a refund using a different method].
