4. Subscriptions

We offer the following subscription options:

  • Monthly subscription: £2.99 per month
  • Annual subscription: £29.90 per year

Both subscriptions may include a 7-day free trial where offered.

After the free trial period ends, the subscription will automatically start at the applicable price unless cancelled before the trial ends.

Subscriptions will continue until terminated by you. Subscription charges will be charged to your payment method on a rolling basis unless it is cancelled by you before the subscription renewal date. Subscription fees apply for the time period selected and do not apply based on whether you use the subscription or not.

By subscribing you agree that all related fees according to the subscription you select will be automatically billed each month or year or promotional period to the payment method you nominated during the purchase or order process.

  • Monthly: Subscription billing for a month will occur up front upon the free trial not being cancelled and continue each month thereafter until cancelled by you. You must cancel at least 24 hours before your subscription renewal to prevent being billed for a new billing period.
  • Annual: Subscription billing for a 12 month period will occur up front upon the free trial not being cancelled and continue each 12 month period thereafter until cancelled by you. Cancellation of your subscription within the 12 months you are subscribed will not result in any refund, but will cancel your renewal 12 months after you first subscribed. You must cancel 24 hours before your subscription renewal to prevent being billed for a new billing period.

We reserve the right to alter subscription fees and in this event will contact you to disclose fee/subscription changes. You may cancel before changes take effect.

We do not give refunds for misplaced purchases, unused subscriptions, ‘forgotten’ subscriptions, unforeseen medical conditions. If you believe someone has accessed your payment method and unlawfully purchased our products on your behalf, please contact [email protected].

You must update your payment method or notify us of a new payment method otherwise we will assume the nominated payment method is correct and will continue to bill for subscription fees due as per the subscription.

If subscription fees are not able to be processed from your nominated payment method we have the right to suspend your subscription until all fees due are paid and up to date.

Subscriptions will roll over to original ‘full priced’ monthly or yearly rates at the end of promotional periods, free trials, discounts or special offers unless specifically stated or unless the subscription is cancelled before the end of the promotional period.

‘Free trial’ refers to a 7 day period where you have access to subscription features. Upon completion of this period you will automatically move onto paid subscription unless cancelled before the end of the 7 day period. To cancel your subscription visit the cancellation page.

If you have previously used a free trial, you will not be eligible for another free trial, regardless of whether you choose a monthly or annual subscription. We reserve the right to refuse or withdraw a free trial where we reasonably believe that multiple accounts have been created to obtain additional free trials.

By starting a free trial, you are entering into a subscription agreement with us. Unless you cancel before the end of the free trial, your subscription will automatically convert into a paid subscription at the applicable rate (monthly or annual, depending on your selection).

  • £2.99 per month; or
  • £29.90 per year (if you select the annual plan)

We will send you a reminder before the end of your free trial to notify you that your subscription will convert to a paid subscription unless cancelled. This reminder will be sent sufficiently in advance to allow you time to cancel. You are responsible for cancelling your subscription before the end of the free trial if you do not wish to be charged.

After your subscription begins, we will send you a notification by email:

  • Before each monthly charge (for monthly subscriptions); or
  • Before each annual renewal (for annual subscriptions)
