Subscriptions
3. Creating an account and payment of fees
3.1 You can register to subscribe for the Online Media and the Services by creating an account on the Website.
When you create an account, you expressly agree, subject to clause 5.1, that I Can Connect is authorised to
charge you a recurring subscription fee at the then current rate.
3.2 Other than during the Cancellation Period or a designated free trial period, all Subscription Fees are
non-refundable and there are no credits or refunds for partially used periods.
3.3 In order to activate your subscription you will need to provide a payment method that we accept, along with
other payment information. When you provide this information to us, you represent and warrant to us and to our
payment processors and any companies who act as our billing agents that any authorisations given to us in
respect of your payment information also applies to such payment processors and billing agents and that you have
the legal right to use all payment method(s) that you provide to us. You hereby authorise us to charge the
payment method provided each calendar month, in advance, for your subscription. You authorise the issuer of
your selected payment method to pay the Subscription Fees and any other charges pursuant to the Contract
without requiring a signed receipt, and you agree that these Terms shall be accepted as authorisation to the
issuer of the payment method to pay the Subscription Fees and any other charges in accordance with the Contract,
without requiring a signed receipt from you. You authorise us to continue to attempt to charge the payment
method provided with respect to the Subscription Fees and any other charges pursuant to the Contract, or any
portion thereof, until the amounts owed are paid in full. If we request updated payment information from you,
you shall provide this without undue delay and also if at any time the information you previously supplied
becomes invalid. You acknowledge and agree that neither I Can Connect, nor any I Can Connect agent shall have
any liability whatsoever for any insufficient funds or other charges incurred by you as a result of our attempts
to charge, and/or place holds on, your specified payment method as contemplated by these Terms.
3.4 You shall pay the Subscription Fee monthly in advance. We will notify you if the amount to be charged
varies from the amount previously agreed by you (other than due to the imposition of, or change in, applicable
tax) and we will provide, notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the change before we take payment
from you, unless applicable law requires you to expressly consent to the change in the Subscription Fees. Any
agreement you have with your payment provider shall govern your use of your specified payment method. You agree
that we may accumulate charges incurred and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of
each billing cycle. If you fail to terminate and/or continue to use your subscription you are confirming that
we are authorised to continue to charge you for the Subscription Fees. We may submit those charges for payment
and you will be responsible for such charges. Nothing in this clause 3.4 waives our right to seek payment
directly from you.
3.5 We reserve the right to instruct our payment processor to correct, or to correct ourselves, any errors or
mistakes even if payment has already been received or requested.
3.6 We accept payment using MasterCard or VISA.
3.7 If you believe we have charged you in error, please notify us within 60 days of the billing date by
emailing info@icanconnect.co.uk. I Can Connect will not issue refunds or credits after the expiration of this
60-day period, unless we are required to by applicable law.
3.8 If we take any payment in error after you have cancelled your subscription, we will arrange for the payment
to be refunded to you within 14 days of us becoming aware of the error.
3.9 Subject to clause 5.4, we may increase our fees at any time on not less than one calendar month's prior
written notice to you.
4. Late or missed payments
4.1 We reserve the right to charge interest on any late or unpaid Subscription Fees at a rate of 2% above the
base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. Interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due
date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us
interest together with any overdue amount.
4.2 If you fail to make payments due pursuant to these Terms, we reserve the right to contact a debt collection
agency to help us get payment from you. Before we do this we will write to you or telephone you (at the email
address or telephone number (as applicable) we have on our records) to ask for payment. If we contact a debt
collection agency a fee of £30 will be added to the amount you owe to cover our reasonable administration
costs. This fee will be charged each time we contact a debt collection agency, unless the missed payments are
your bank's or our third party payment processor's fault. We also reserve the right to take legal action to
recover any sums you owe us, including any interest owing.
5. Cancellation and termination
5.1 During the Cancellation Period or designated free trial period, you may cancel your subscription by visiting
the 'my billing' section of the Platform. Your access to the Services and
Online Media shall cease at the point in time we receive notice of your intention to cancel and any Subscription
Fees you have paid to us will be refunded to you within 14 days of the date of cancellation.
