Part 2 – Paying Subscriber Terms
How to subscribe
23. You may apply to become a paid subscriber by emailing subscriptions@borderlex.eu or by filling in the requisite form on the following webpage. We reserve the right to refuse any application for a subscription. If we accept your application, a contract will be formed between you and us on the terms set out on this web page (and any pages incorporated by it) at the time we send you our acceptance of your application.
Prices and Payment
24. The price per individual is that advertised on our website at the time you subscribe. You must pay the subscription price in advance at the start of each subscription period, as follows: when we have accepted your application to become a paid subscriber, or we have renewed your subscription automatically, we will send you an invoice. You must pay within the time period and in the manner specified in the invoice
25. We may suspend your subscription if, and so long as, your payments are late.
Renewal
26. We will notify you in advance of the end of a subscription period. If you do not inform us that you wish to cancel your subscription, we will assume that you wish us to renew it at our currently advertised prices.
Cancellation
27. Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you will have a right to cancel your subscription within 14 days without charge. You may cancel your subscription by emailing subscriptions@borderlex.net. If you cancel within the first 14 days, we will reimburse you using the same means of payment as you used to pay for the services. You will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
28. If you wish to cancel at any other time, you may do so in the same way, and we will refund you the amount of your subscription due from the end of the month in which you cancel. We will not refund you for fractions of a month.
Your account
29. Unless we have agreed alternative arrangements with you (for example, corporate access) this agreement is personal to you, and so: (a) you must keep your login credentials (username and password) secret and not share them with anyone else, including within your organisation; and (b) you may not permit anyone else, including from within your organisation, to access this website using your login credentials.
We consider a situation where you permit more than one individual to share login credentials “corporate access”. If you require corporate access to borderlex.eu please contact subscriptions@borderlex.net.
If we discover that you have been permitting the sharing of login credentials without our permission, we will be entitled to charge you for the whole of the period of your subscription at our going rate for corporate access. We may impose such additional charges even if we discover your unauthorised sharing after the termination of this agreement.
If your organisation consists of more than two individuals (including employees and office holders), then any user accounts with descriptions that indicate generic, rather than individual, use (for example library@, info@, or contact@) will be treated as an indication that your subscription is a corporate and not individual one. In this case we will be entitled to impose additional charges as set out above.
You are responsible for protecting and preventing use of login credentials by any unauthorised persons. If you believe there has been any breach of security (such as the disclosure, theft or unauthorised use of your login credentials), you must notify us immediately by emailing privacy@borderlex.net.
Free subscriptions
30.We may, entirely at our discretion, agree for you to have a free subscription. A free subscription is available on the same terms as a paid subscription, but will be without charge for the period we specify.
31. We may, in our discretion, terminate or extend a free subscription at any time.
32. We do not consider it to be ethical to automatically convert a free subscription into a paid one. When your free subscription comes to an end, you will need to convert it to a paid subscription or risk having your access to this website restricted.
Termination by us
33. We may terminate this agreement without refund to you if you:
33.1. Deliberately infringe any of our intellectual property rights;
33.2 Breach any terms of this agreement concerning the posting of comments to this website; or
33.3 Permit the use of any login credentials we have given to you by any unauthorised person or contrary to any instructions we have given you at the time we supplied those credentials to you.
Limitation of liability
34. We shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising out of our performance of this agreement, even if we have been informed of the possibility of such a loss in advance
35. Our total liability to you under this agreement shall be limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the date on which that liability arose.
