The contract between us for the sale of a Service comes into existence when we write to you to confirm that we agree to provide to you with the Service you requested. Your payment does not create a contract. If we decline to provide a Service we shall immediately return your money to you.
6. Prices
The price payable for each Service we offer is clearly set out on our Website.
The price of a Service may be changed by us at any time. We will never change a price so as to affect the price charged to you at the time when you buy that Service.

If you do exercise your right to cancel, we will return any money due to you within 14 days.
Any Service that we provide to you at no cost is not covered by the Regulations.
