Terms and Conditions for Memberships

These are the terms and conditions upon which Aceville Publications Ltd (we or us) will sell you our membership to our digital content and/or access to premium content on the Site (Memberships). They prevail to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency with any other terms in respect of the memberships.

If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, please do not purchase any memberships or resources.

Defined terms used in these terms and conditions have the same meanings as they are given in our general website terms of use unless expressly defined in these terms.

We may change these terms and conditions from time to time by changing them on the Site. By continuing to purchase memberships you accept these changes and agree to be bound by them. It is your responsibility to check the terms and conditions each time you purchase a membership from us.

From time to time we may offer special offers or temporary promotions for our memberships which may either be published on the Site, on digital platforms or in our publications. These may be subject to additional terms and conditions which we will let you know about in those offers.

The advertisement of memberships on the Site, on digital platforms and/or in our publications is an invitation to treat only and any order from you constitutes an offer to us to buy such memberships. All orders are subject to acceptance by us. There will be no contract between you and us unless and until we accept your order in accordance with the procedures detailed in these terms and conditions.



Any restrictions on delivery locations are as stated on the Site or in these terms. Overseas customers can of course always purchase our digital editions and/or digital only Subscriptions.

How to purchase a Plazoom membership

You must register with the Site or the digital platform in question in order to purchase a membership from it. In registering, you will be providing certain personal information to us.



To make a purchase of a membership on the Site you will need to:

– Login to plazoom.com and select which membership you wish to purchase and click “Buy Now” or such equivalent confirmation button. You will be informed whether the membership qualifies for a free gift; complete your details and those of the recipient of the membership (if different from you and if this functionality is available) and the free gift (if appropriate);

– Make payment for the membership or resource, which can be made using a Credit / Debit payment card.

We may then send you an initial acknowledgement by email. Once we have checked whether we are able to meet your membership order and whether payment has been successful, we will either send you an order confirmation by email (order confirmation) (at which point your order will become a purchase and shall conclude the contract between you and us) or alternatively, we will confirm by email that we are unable to meet your order. After entering into the contract, we will be under a legal duty to supply you with the Subscription that is in conformity with the contract. Where we are unable to meet your order, we will aim to advise you if possible when we expect the membership to become available and you will be given the opportunity to proceed with your order or an alternative order or receive a refund.

Any offers we may run from time to time are subject to any restrictions communicated with such offers, for example some offers may be restricted to first time subscribers only.



Your personal information

When you purchase a membership, whether from the Site you will need to provide us with certain personal information to enable us to process your order. Our Privacy Policy sets out how we use any of your personal information you give us. All Personal Data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Any personal information which you provide to us when you register with the Site or purchase a membership must be true, accurate, current and complete in all respects. You agree not to impersonate any other person or entity or to use a false name or a name that you are not authorised to use when purchasing Subscriptions. You will notify us immediately of any changes to any personal information supplied to us.

To enable subscription payment on our Site and on digital platforms, we work with reputable third party service providers that use and store your payment card information. This information is used by the third parties to perform billing and for their internal business purposes. Examples of these uses include fulfilling orders and processing payment card transactions. Your personal information passed through those third parties is governed by their privacy policy which we will make available to you. Your information is not shared or disclosed by these parties with other third parties and is not used for marketing third party products.



Membership

Your Plazoom membership may start with a free trial. The duration of the free trial period of your membership will be specified during sign-up and is intended to allow new members and certain former members to try the service.

Free trial eligibility is determined by Plazoom at its sole discretion and we may limit eligibility or duration to prevent free trial abuse. We reserve the right to revoke the free trial and put your account on hold in the event that we determine that you are not eligible. We may use information such as method of payment or an account email address used with an existing or recent Plazoom membership to determine eligibility. For combinations with other offers, restrictions may apply.

We will charge the membership fee for the next billing cycle to your Payment Method at the end of the free trial period unless you cancel your membership prior to the end of the free trial period. Trials can be cancelled at anytime during the 14 day period



Gifts

Where offered, any free gifts offered when you purchase a membership are subject to availability. Where we offer you a gift with the purchase of a membership, every effort will be made to supply the gift illustrated within 28 days but we reserve the right to provide an alternative gift of equal or more value if we cannot supply the original for any reason. Gifts are available to UK members only.

Our policy, unless indicated otherwise, is that any free gift will be sent to the recipient of the membership.



Price and payment

All prices are inclusive of VAT where applicable at the current rates and delivery charges.

All prices are correct at the time they are given. Prices are liable to change at any time but changes will not affect orders for which you have already paid. If we change the membership price (which we may do at any time), this will not affect your current membership but the higher price will apply upon its renewal.

The Site and the publications contain several memberships and it is always possible that some of the memberships listed may be incorrectly priced. We will verify prices as part of our sale procedures so that the correct price will be stated when you pay for the membership. If we discover an error with our prices then we may cancel your order and refund you.

You will have different payment options available to you when purchasing a membership and these will be brought to your attention during the ordering process and before the contract between you and us is concluded.



When making a purchase via the Site, you can either:

Pay using a debit / credit payment card through our secure third party payment gateway. All payment card purchases are subject to validation checks (which you consent to) and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to or does not for any reason authorise payment to us for a particular purchase, we will not accept your order. Please note that it is possible that your card issuer may charge you an online handling fee or processing fee, we are not responsible for this;

or, pay using PayPal through a secure third party payment gateway. Such purchases will be subject to any required validation checks (which you consent to), authorisation by PayPal and PayPal terms of use. If PayPal refuses to or does not for any reason authorise payment to us for a particular purchase, we will not accept your order.

You agree that your membership will be deemed to be continuous and will automatically renew (taking account of any upgrade or downgrade), without notification, for the same membership period as the initial membership period.



Information about memberships including Delivery

Term

The minimum membership term is one month and starts immediately from our activation of your membership upon sending you the order confirmation. Some promotional offers may have a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month minimum term.

Upgrades and Downgrades

You may upgrade your membership to the next available at any time online or by notifying us by phone or email. We will affect such upgrade as soon as possible. Any changes in charges applicable to your membership will be made clear and will need to be accepted by you prior to the upgrade. Continuous memberships and Renewals

When you purchase a membership and pay using a credit / debit payment card or PayPal, it is on a continuous basis, meaning that your membership will automatically renew, without notification, for the same period as the initial memberships period. You can prevent auto-renewal of your membership at any time by contacting us in accordance with the cancellation section below.

Cancellations

Each membership contains aspects which will be delivered digitally, therefore you agree to your membership starting immediately on the conclusion of the contract and once any part of the membership has been delivered to you, you waive any statutory (or “cool off”) cancellation rights you may have to cancel the contract and obtain a full refund if you change your mind.

You have a contractual right to cancel a membership at the end of its current subscription period and/or prevent auto renewal of your membership by notifying us accordingly by phone or email. We must receive your notification at least 7 days before the end of your current membership period. Such cancellation will take effect from the end of the current membership period.



To cancel your membership, you must inform us:

– In writing either to the address noted at the end of these terms and conditions or by emailing us at aceville@dctmedia.co.uk giving us your name, address and order reference;

– by telephone by calling us on 0800 904 7000 giving us your name, address and order reference.

Details of the consumer rights described above, and an explanation of how to exercise them, are provided in the order confirmation. Nothing in this section affects your legal rights.



Refunds Policy

If you cancel a contract between us for a membership we will process any refund due to you as soon as possible. All other refunds will be made as soon as reasonably practicable. We will refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase unless otherwise agreed.

You will not receive a refund if a portion or all of our digital products are temporarily unavailable. If we temporarily reduce or eliminate the charge for digital content or digital access that you are currently paying for under different terms you will not receive a refund in respect of this.



Liability

Nothing in these terms and conditions shall limit or exclude our liability to you for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or for fraudulent misrepresentation or any other liability that may not, under English law, be limited or excluded.

Subject to this, in no event shall we be liable to you for any business losses and any liability we do have for losses you suffer arising from any contract shall not exceed the purchase price of the relevant memberships and is strictly limited to losses that were reasonably foreseeable. Losses are foreseeable where they could be contemplated by you and us at the time your order is accepted by us.

Our liability to you arising under or in connection with these memberships terms or arising from or in connection with any breach or non-performance of these memberships terms no matter how fundamental (including by reason of our negligence) in contract, tort or otherwise in relation to any issue shall be limited to the fees you have paid to us for that issue.



General

We may assign these terms and conditions or any rights hereunder without your consent or notice.

These terms and conditions supersede any previous versions.

These terms and conditions shall be governed by English law. Subject to the next paragraph, you agree that any dispute between us regarding them or the Site will only be dealt with by the English courts, provided that, if you are a consumer and not a business user and live in a part of the United Kingdom other than England, the applicable law of that part of the United Kingdom will govern and any dispute will only be dealt with by the courts there. Nothing shall prevent us from bringing proceedings to protect our intellectual property rights before any competent court.

We are required to inform you that The Retail Ombudsman (see www.theretailombudsman.org.uk for more information) is an alternative dispute resolution body to whom we are obliged to refer any dispute that cannot be resolved between you and us.
