  3. Except for liability under 10a above, our total liability to you under or in connection with the contract is limited to £90.
  4. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we exclude all statements, promises, assurances, guarantees and implied terms (including, but not limited to, those shown on websites and in marketing material, adverts, brochures, communications and so on) that may apply to our site or any content on it and are not set out in the contract.
  5. We use reasonable skill and care to make sure that our site is free from viruses and other malware, but we have no liability for any loss or damage arising from a virus, other malware, hacking or any other harmful material or event that may damage or disrupt your hardware, software, data or other material as a result of you using our site (including downloading any content from it) or any other site referred to on our site.
  6. This clause 10 will continue to apply after the contract between you and us ends.
  1. Ending the contract
  1. You or we can end the contract by giving the other at least 30 days’ notice in writing.
  2. We may end the contract or suspend our service immediately upon giving you written notice if any of the following applies.
    1. You break an important term of the contract and fail to put the matter right (if we believe it is possible to put it right) within seven days of being given written notice to do so. This includes if you have failed to meet your obligations under clause 5 or 6.
    2. We think there is a conflict of interest between you or your business interests and our business.
    3. You become insolvent or bankrupt, go into receivership, make an arrangement with your creditors to pay off your debts or stop trading, or any similar event happens.
    4. We receive what we believe to be a genuine complaint about your conduct, practice or use of our service from a user of our site.
    5. We consider any qualification or other requirement you need to be included in the directory to be, or to have become, insufficient (for example, if we find out that you no longer have the necessary level of membership with a relevant professional body).
    6. We find out about any circumstances which, in our opinion, have damaged, or could damage, our or our site’s reputation (for example, allegations or legal proceedings against you or tribunal hearings) by continuing to allow you to stay in our directory.
  3. If 30 days’ notice is given under clause 11a, you must pay the full annual fee or monthly fee that either becomes due during that notice period or is currently overdue.
  4. We will continue to provide our services for the entire period covered by any subscription fees you pay before or during the 30-day notice period. This may mean that you continue to receive our services after the notice period has ended. If this would be the case, during the notice period you can ask for your listing be hidden from public view (although this will not entitle you to any refund of fees paid or due).
  5. From time to time we may suggest an alternative termination arrangement (an arrangement to end the contract) where we agree not to collect any subscription fees due during the notice period. If you accept this alternative arrangement:
  1. we can end the contract immediately, or before any further fees would have become due, whichever we consider appropriate;
  2. you fully accept that you will not be entitled to a 30-day notice period during which our service would otherwise have been available; and
  3. this arrangement (and this section 11 in general) does not limit our other rights.
  1. Consequences of ending the contract

When the contract ends for any reason, the following will apply.

  1. You must immediately pay all our unpaid invoices and interest (where appropriate). If you have received services we have not invoiced you for, we will send you an invoice, which you must pay immediately.
  2. You will not be entitled to a refund, adjustment of the subscription fee or any other reduction of any subscription fees you have already paid or are due to be paid.
  3. The rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities you and we already have when the contract ends will not be affected, including the right to claim damages for the contract being broken on or before the date it ended.
  4. The clauses of the contract that say (or suggest) that they will still apply after the contract ends will continue to apply in full.
  5. We can refuse your request to use our services again in the future, and do not need to give you a reason for this decision.
  1. Circumstances beyond our control
  1. We not be liable to you if we fail to perform our obligations under this contract, or delay in performing them, as a result of a circumstance beyond our reasonable control. Circumstances beyond our reasonable control include industrial action and strikes (whether or not it affects our workforce), power or equipment failures, failure in the transport network, war, riot, accident, breakdown of machinery, fire, flood, storm or the failures of our suppliers or subcontractors).
  2. If the circumstance beyond our control prevents us from providing any of our services for more than four weeks in a row, we can end this contract immediately by giving you written notice.
  1. General
  1. Assignment and other dealings: we may transfer, in any way, any of our rights under the contract, and may subcontract or delegate any or all of our obligations under the contract, to any third party or agent.

Unless you have our permission in writing, you must not transfer, in any way, any of our rights under the contract to any third party or agent.

  1. Notices: any notice or other communication that must be given under the contract must be in writing, addressed to the other party’s registered office (if it is a company) or its main place of business (in any other case), or to any other address the relevant party has specified to the other party in writing. The notice or communication must be delivered personally, sent by first-class post or another next-working-day delivery service, courier, fax or email.

Any notice or other communication will be considered to have been received at the following times.

  • If delivered personally, when it is left at the correct address.
  • If sent by first-class post or another next-working-day delivery service, at 9am on the second business day after it was sent.
  • If delivered by courier, when the courier’s delivery receipt is signed.
  • If sent by fax or email, the business day after it was sent.

This clause does not apply to any documents served during legal proceedings.

  1. Separate provisions: if any of these terms (or part of them) cannot be enforced, that term is considered not to be included in these terms and conditions, and this will not affect the remaining conditions. This term will apply only in the country or state where a particular term cannot be enforced.
  2. Failure to exercise rights: if you or we do not exercise any right under the agreement, this will not prevent that right from being exercised at a later date.
  3. No partnership or agency: nothing in the contract between you and us creates any partnership or joint venture between you and us, or makes either you or us the other party’s agent. You and we do not have authority to act as an agent for, or to bind, the other in any way.
  4. Third parties: nobody except you and us has any rights to enforce its terms.
  5. Variation: except as set out in these terms and conditions, no changes can be made to the contract unless we agree to them in writing.
  6. Governing law and jurisdiction: These terms and conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, will be governed by and interpreted in line with the laws of England and Wales. Only the courts of England can settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these terms and conditions.
