1. ACCESSING OUR SERVICES
Access to our Services is permitted on a temporary basis, and we reserve the right to withdraw or amend the service we provide on our website or app without notice (see below). We will not be liable if for any reason our Services are unavailable at any time or for any period.
From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of our Services, or our entire Services, to users who have registered with us and/or have a paid subscription.
If you choose, or you are provided with, a user identification code, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any third party. We have the right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time, if in our opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these Terms of Use.
When using our Services, you must comply with the provisions of our acceptable use policy.
You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to our Services. You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access our Services through your internet connection are aware of these Terms of Use, and that they comply with them.
2. MOBILE APPLICATION LICENCE
2.1 Licence scope
Subject to you accepting and continuing to comply with these Terms of Use, we grant you the limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicenseable, non-transferable right to access and use the Service via the app(s) in accordance with these Terms of Use and, where applicable, the Subscription Terms.
The licence:
- starts when you download the app; and
- covers content, materials, or services accessible from, or bought in, the app including our support resources. It also covers updates to the app unless they come with separate terms, in which case we will give you an opportunity to review and accept the new terms.
The licence granted is only for you personally (and anyone else that the app store lets you share the app with) and for non-business use (unless you have purchased a relevant licence from us for business/professional use).
The agreement for use of the app(s) and Services is made between you and us. App store providers such as Apple and Google are not a party to this agreement and have no responsibility for the app or its content.
In these Terms of Use, we refer to the site that you download the app from as the 'app store' and we refer to their rules and policies as the 'app store rules'. You must comply with the app store rules as well as these Terms of Use but, if there is any conflict between them, you should follow the app store rules rather than the equivalent rule here. If you have downloaded the app through Apple's app store, you may be referred to as an 'iOS User' and related references to the 'app store' and 'app store rules' means those provided by Apple, including the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
You do not own the app, Services or any of its or their contents but you may access and use the Services on devices that you own or control (and in the case of iOS Users, on Apple-branded products only), as permitted by the app store rules.
If you sell or give away the device on which you have downloaded our app, you must first remove the app from the device.
You are not allowed to:
- hack the app (which might include accessing its code, inserting new code, or modifying the way it functions in any way); or
- pretend that the app is your own or make it available for others to download or use.
2.2 Technical requirements
In order to use our app, your device needs to comply with the following minimum requirements:
Device Compatibility | Android and iOS |

You are responsible for ensuring that the Subscription is right for you prior to purchasing the Subscription.

3. SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD
3.1. You agree that the Subscription will continue for at least the Initial Subscription Period. You have the right to cancel a Subscription, or close your account for the Services, during the Initial Subscription Period but accept that such cancellation or closure shall only take effect on expiry of the Initial Subscription Period and no refund or credit shall be payable to you in relation to any unused portion of the Subscription.
3.2. At the end of the Initial Subscription Period, the Subscription shall automatically renew for successive Renewal Periods, unless and until cancelled by you via the Services or via the app store through which you have purchased a Subscription. You agree that, if you do not cancel a Subscription prior to the next applicable renewal date, the Subscription will automatically renew and you will be bound to Subscription Terms and to pay the Subscription Price for the next Renewal Period.
4. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
4.1. You agree to pay the Subscription Price when purchasing the Subscription and at the beginning of each Renewal Period thereafter. The Subscription Price is payable via Apple Pay or Google Pay if making a purchase via the app, or by debit or credit card, with recurring payments debited from your nominated payment method automatically. In addition to Apple and Google, your payment may be processed via Stripe, Worldpay and/or Paypal. In each case, the third party payment processor manages your card payments and we will not have access to your payment information. Please see the relevant payment processor's privacy policy for details about how they hold and manage your payment information.
4.2. We reserve the right to vary the Subscription Price from time to time. Any variation will only apply at the next applicable Renewal Period and we will provide details of the variation to you prior to the renewal date.
4.3. If any payment of the Subscription Price fails or is cancelled, we will notify you and give you the opportunity to provide an alternative payment method. If you fail to do so promptly, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Subscription, without affecting any other rights or remedies we may have.

6. BUSINESS LIABILITY
6.1. If you are purchasing a Subscription available for professional and commercial use, you agree:
- 6.1.1. that you are acting as a business and not as a consumer, and accordingly consumer protection laws do not apply to you;
