You pay us the interest together with any overdue amount.

We pass on increases in VAT

If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

We're not responsible for delays outside our control

If our supply of your product is delayed by an event outside our control we contact you as soon as possible to let you know and do what we can to reduce the delay.

  • to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
  • to make minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These are changes that don't affect your use of the product; and
  • to update digital content, provided that the digital content always matches the description of it that we provided to you before you bought it. We might ask you to install these updates.
  •  

Changes we can only make if we give you notice and an option to terminate. We can also make the following types of change to the product or these terms, but if we do so we'll notify you and you can then contact our Customer Service Team to end the contract before the change takes effect and receive a refund for any products you've paid for in advance, but not received.

We can suspend the supply of a product. We do this to:

  • deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
  • update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; or
  • make changes to the product (see We can change products and these terms).

We don't compensate you for all losses caused by us or our products

The App is educational but use of the App does not constitute medical advice and it is provided solely for academic purposes. Any information accessed on or provided through the App (such as life skills information) is for informational purposes only, are not a substitute for the advice of a medical professional, and do not contain or constitute, and should not be interpreted as, medical advice or opinion. Proper diagnosis and treatment of health conditions depends on a number of factors, such as your medical history, diet, lifestyle and the medication that you currently take. Your doctor is in the best position to take these and other factors into account in assessing and addressing your individual health care needs, and use of the App cannot replace medical consultation with a qualified health or medical professional. You assume full responsibility for any decision or action taken in reliance on the information provided via the App.

We're responsible for losses you suffer caused by us breaking this contract unless the loss is:

  • Unexpected. It was not obvious that it would happen and nothing you said to us before we accepted your order meant we should have expected it (so, in the law, the loss was unforeseeable).
  • Caused by a delaying event outside our control. As long as we have taken the steps set out in the section We're not responsible for delays outside our control.
  • Avoidable. Something you could have avoided by taking reasonable action. For example, damage to your own digital content or device, which was caused by digital content we supplied and which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply a free update or by correctly following the installation instructions or having the minimum system requirements advised by us.
  • A business loss. It relates to your use of a product for the purposes of your trade, business, craft or profession.
  •

You have several options for resolving disputes with us

Customer Services. Our Customer Service Team will do their best to resolve any problems you have with us or our services.

Resolving disputes without going to court. Alternative dispute resolution is an optional process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court.

You can go to court. These terms are governed by English law and wherever you live you can bring claims against us in the English courts. If you live in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring claims against us in the courts of the country you live in. We can claim against you in the courts of the country you live in.

Other important terms apply to our contract

We can transfer our contract with you, so that a different organisation is responsible for supplying your product. We'll tell you in writing if this happens and we'll ensure that the transfer won't affect your rights under the contract. If you're unhappy with the transfer you can contact our Customer Service Team.

You can only transfer your contract with us to someone else if we agree to this.

Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. Nobody else can enforce it and neither of us will need to ask anybody else to sign-off on ending or changing it.

If a court invalidates some of this contract, the rest of it will still apply. If a court or other authority decides that some of these terms are unlawful, the rest will continue to apply.

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. We might not immediately chase you for not doing something (like paying) or for doing something you're not allowed to, but that doesn’t mean we can't do it later.
