YOUR CANCELLATION AND REFUND RIGHTS IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER 

This clause 11 only applies if you are a consumer. 

If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract (for Products only) under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation, and additional Changes) Regulations 2013, during the period set out below in clause 11.3. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or for any other reason you decide you do not want to keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. 

In relation to the Services, the Services will be available promptly once you have paid the Subscription Fee. As such by agreeing to pay the Subscription Fee, you expressly agree that we can provide the Services immediately and before the usual cancellation period expires.

Your legal right to cancel a Contract for Products starts from the date we provide you written confirmation of your Order, which is when the Contract between us is formed. If the Products have already been delivered to you, you have a statutory period of 14 (fourteen) working days in which you may cancel, starting from the day after the day you receive the Products. Working days means that Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays are not included in this period.

To cancel a Contract, you must contact us in writing by sending an e-mail to cecilia@oober-k.com or by sending a letter to 88 A Mildmay Park, London N1 4PR . You may wish to keep a copy of your cancellation notification for your own records.

You will receive a full refund of the price you paid for the Products and any applicable delivery charges you paid for. We will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 calendar days of the day on which you gave us notice of cancellation as described in clause 11.4. If you returned the Products to us because they were faulty or mis-described, please see clause 11.6.

If you have returned the Products to us under this clause 11 because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of a defective Product in full, any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.

We refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay.

If the Products were delivered to you:

you must return the Products to us as soon as reasonably practicable;

unless the Products are faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause11.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us;

you have a legal obligation to keep the Products in your possession and to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession.

Details of your legal right to cancel and an explanation of how to exercise it are provided in the written confirmation of your order.

As a consumer, you will always have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by the returns policy in this clause 11 or these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

DELIVERY 

Your Order will be fulfilled by the estimated delivery date set out in our written confirmation of your Order, unless there is an Event Outside Our Control. If we are unable to meet the estimated delivery date because of an Event Outside Our Control, we will contact you with a revised estimated delivery date.

Delivery will be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us.

If no one is available at your address to take delivery, we will leave you a note that the Products have been returned to our premises, in which case, please contact us to rearrange delivery.

The Products will be your responsibility from the completion of delivery.

You own the Products once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.

PRICE AND CHARGES 

The prices of the Services and the Products will be as quoted on our Site from time to time. All prices for the Services and the Products are payable in advance. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Services and the Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system.

The Subscription Fees and Subscription Periods will be on a monthly, six monthly and annual basis. Monthly and six monthly subscriptions will automatically be renewed at the end of the relevant Subscription Period until you notify us that you wish to terminate your subscription. 

Prices for our Services and/or Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any Order which we have confirmed with you in our written acceptance of your Order.

The price of the Services and/or the Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

The price of a Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as quoted on our Site from time to time.

If we raise an invoice for you to pay, the invoice must be paid within 28 days from the date of the invoice. We reserve the right to charge interest at a daily rate of 3% over the base lending rate of HSB Bank Plc if you fail to make payment on the due date.

HOW TO PAY 

You can only pay for the Services and/or Products via the Site using a debit card or credit card. In the case of businesses and organisations we may raise an invoice for the Services and/or Products that you wish to Order.

Payment for the Services and/or the Products and all applicable delivery charges is in advance.

OUR LIABILITY IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS 

This clause only applies if you are a business customer.

death or personal injury caused by our negligence;

breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (title and quiet possession); or

Except as expressly stated in these Terms, we do not give any representation, warranties or undertakings in relation to the Services and/or Products. Any representation, condition or warranty which might be implied or incorporated into these Terms by statute, common law or otherwise is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. In particular, we will not be responsible for ensuring that the Services and/or Products are suitable for your purposes.

OUR LIABILITY IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER 

This clause only applies if you are a consumer. 

If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our negligence, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if they were an obvious consequence of our breach or if they were contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into the Contract.

We only supply the Services and/or Products for educational purposes, domestic and private use.

If an Event Outside Our Control takes place that affects the performance of our obligations under a Contract:

we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and

our obligations under a Contract will be suspended and the time for performance of our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control. Where the Event Outside Our Control affects our delivery of Products to you, we will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over.

This agreement will terminate (i) automatically at the end of the Subscription Period in which you notify us that you wish to terminate the Contract (unless you agree to continue with Services and pay a further Subscription Fee) and (ii) if you or we are in material breach of any of its terms and if the breach is not remedied within the period of twenty working days after written notice of it has been given to the party in breach.

We shall use reasonable commercial efforts to deliver the print-out to you within 30 days of receipt of such a written request, provided that you have, at that time, paid all fees and charges outstanding at and resulting from termination (whether or not due at the date of termination). You shall pay all reasonable expenses incurred by us in delivering such print-out; and

termination shall not affect or prejudice the accrued rights of the parties as at termination, or the continuation after termination of any provision expressly stated to survive or implicitly surviving termination.

If you wish to contact us in writing, or if any clause in these Terms requires you to give us notice in writing, you can send this to us by e-mail or by pre-paid post to OoberK Limited at 80-83 Long Lane, London EC1A 9ET or info@oober-k.com.

OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS 

We may transfer our rights and obligations under a Contract to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms. We will always notify you in writing or by posting on the Site if this happens.

You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree in writing.

This Contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties Act) 1999 or otherwise.

Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

If you are a consumer, please note that these Terms are governed by English law. This means a Contract for the purchase of Services and/or Products through our Site and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law.

If you are a business, these Terms are governed by English law.

Prohibited uses
You may use our site only for lawful purposes. You may not use our site: 
In any way that breaches any applicable local, national or international law or regulation.

In any way that is unlawful or fraudulent, or has any unlawful or fraudulent purpose or effect.

For the purpose of harming or attempting to harm minors in any way.

To send, knowingly receive, upload, download, use or re-use any material which does not comply with our content standards set out below.

To transmit, or procure the sending of, any unsolicited or unauthorised advertising or promotional material or any other form of similar solicitation (spam).

Interactive services 
We may from time to time provide interactive services on our site, including, without limitation: 
Chat rooms.

Bulletin boards.

Other interactive features.

The interactive services are fully moderated. Every contribution submitted (contribution) will be checked by us for compliance with our content standards below (Content Standards) as soon as reasonably practicable after it is published. We will try to publish as many contributions as we can but we cannot guarantee that all contributions will be published or at all. We also cannot guarantee how quickly contributions will be posted on the Board as this will depend on other editorial commitments. 

Although the interactive services are fully moderated, we are under no obligation to you or any other person to oversee, monitor or moderate the interactive services or any other service we provide on our site and we may stop moderating the interactive services at any time. We reserve the right to remove, or to disable access to, any contribution which we deem to be potentially defamatory of any person or which we deem unlawful or in violation of any third party rights. We expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of the interactive services by any person in contravention of this policy. 

We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users (and in particular, for children) from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on our site, and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks. However, we are under no obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive service we provide on our site, and we expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user in contravention of our content standards, whether the service is moderated or not. 

The use of any of our interactive services by a minor is subject to the express consent of their parent or guardian. We advise parents who permit their children to use an interactive service that it is important that they communicate with their children about their safety online, as moderation is not foolproof. Minors who are using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them. 

Where we do moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.
