6. Cancellation and Refunds  

You may cancel the Services and this Agreement at any time.

If you cancel the authority for us to charge the Fee to the Payment Method, we will treat this as a request by you to cancel this Agreement.  

In relation to the other Services only, depending on when you cancel the Services and this Agreement you may be entitled to receive a refund of all or part of the Fee. Your cancellation must be communicated by contacting our Customer Service department by telephone, email or using our web site (see Contact Details). Your refund in respect of the secure remote access service and other Services Fees (if any) will be calculated up to the date we receive your notice of cancellation ("the Notice Date") in accordance with the following :

Yearly Subscriptions
Cancellation during the Trial Period: no charge to your Payment Method so no refund required

Cancellation after the end of the Trial Period but before the 91st day of the first Year : unless we agree with you otherwise we will subtract from the Fee the proportion of the Fee calculated as the number of whole days remaining of the 90 day refund period which operates for the first 90 days of the first Year in accordance with the following calculation : Fee minus ((N/360) multiplied by the Fee) = £ refund amount Where N = the number of whole days since the start of the first year up to the Notice Date and 360 is the number of days for a complete year which for the purposes of calculating a refund is 12 x 30 days For example if you successfully registered on 1st August 2003 we will charge the fee to the payment method on 1st September 2003. If you cancel on 10th October 2003 40 days will have passed since 1st August 2003. The refund will therefore be calculated as Fee minus 40/360 x Fee = £ refund amount

Cancellation before the 31st day of the second and each subsequent Year: unless we agree with you otherwise we will subtract from the Fee a proportion of the fee calculated as the number of whole days remaining of the refund period which operates for the first 30 days of the second and each subsequent Year; where Fee - ((N/360) multiplied by the) Fee = £ refund amount Where N = the number of days since the start of the second and each subsequent Year up to the Notice Date and 360 is the number of days for a complete year which for the purposes of calculating a refund is 12 months x 30 days For example if you successfully registered on 1st August 2003 we will charge the fee to the payment method on 1st September 2003 and again on 1st August 2004. If you cancel on 25th August 2004 25 days will have passed since 1st August 2004. The refund will therefore be calculated as Fee - 25/360 x fee

Monthly Subscriptions
Cancellation during the Trial Period: no charge to your Payment Method so no refund required

Cancellation after the end of the Trial Period: you will not be eligible for a refund of any amount you have paid for your current Month's subscription fee

For Monthly subscriptions: cancellations on or before the last day of the then current Month are required for cancellation to be effective from the beginning of the next Month.

Please note: the fees in relation to the secure remote access service and other Services are payable each time you request them and are not subject to the refund referred to in Section 7 of these Conditions.
