Contract

• Scottish law applies.
• Contracts can be in the name of companies, institutions, partnerships or individuals.
• All individuals contracting for service must be aged 18 years or over. If you are under 18 your parent/guardian should be responsible for contractual matters and obligations.

Invoicing Cycle

Fees are due either monthly or annually in advance of service.

You will receive an invoice by email each month on the date of the month your service originally commenced for the forthcoming month's service, this is your monthly billing date. For example if your service commenced on 17th April, your monthly billing date is the 17th and you will receive an invoice each month on the 17th.

Your credit card will be charged for the following month's service within 3-7 days following issue of the invoice.

Notice Required to Cancel

If you wish to cancel you must notify us of this at least 10 full days prior to your monthly billing date. If you do this no further fees will be due and service will cease on the monthly billing date. If you do not give sufficient notice then a further month's fees will be due for a further month's service.

For example, if your monthly billing date is the 17th, if you give notice to cancel on 5th of June (i.e. 12 days notice) then service will cease on 17th June.

If you give notice to cancel on 14th June (only 3 days notice) then a further month's fees will be due on 17th June and service will cease on 17th July.

The 10 day notice period is required to allow us to remove you from our billing system.

Service fees are only collected as full months, we do not pro-rata any invoices.
