Welcome to A to Z Construction Law ‐ Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms”). The Terms you

see below are important because they:

  • Outline your legal rights on A to Z

  • Describe the rules everyone needs to follow when using A to Z

Please read these Terms, our Privacy Notice and any other terms referenced in this document carefully.

1 Introduction

Thank you for choosing A to Z Construction Law (“A to Z,” “we,” “us,” “our”). A to Z provides personalised services with social and interactive features for streaming construction law related content as well as other products and services that may be developed from time to time. By signing up or otherwise using any of these A to Z services, including all associated features and functionalities, websites and user interfaces, as well as all content and software applications associated with our services (collectively, the “A to Z Service” or “Service”), or accessing any videos or other content or material that is made available through the Service (the “Content”) you are

entering into a binding contract with the A to Z entity indicated in the Contact us section below.

Your agreement with us includes these Terms and any additional terms that you agree to, as discussed in the Entire Agreement section below, other than terms with any third parties (collectively, the “Agreements”). The Agreements include terms regarding future changes to the Agreements, automatic renewals, limitations of liability, and privacy. If you wish to review the terms of the Agreements, the current effective version of the Agreements can be found on our website.

You acknowledge that you have read and understood the Agreements, accept these Agreements, and agree to be bound by them. If you don’t agree with (or cannot comply with) the Agreements, then you may not use the A to Z Service or access any Content.

In order to use the A to Z Service and access any Content, you need to be over 18 and have the power to enter a binding contract with us. You also promise that any registration information that you submit to A to Z is true, accurate, and complete, and you agree to keep it that way at all times.

2 Changes to the Agreements

Occasionally we may make changes to the Agreements for valid reasons, such as improving the existing functions or features or adding new functions or features to the Service, implementing advancements in science and technology, and reasonable technical adjustments to the Service, ensuring the operability or the security of the Service, and for legal or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes to the Agreements, we will provide you with notice as appropriate under the circumstances, e.g., by displaying a prominent notice or seeking your agreement within the Service or by sending you an email. In some cases, we will notify you in advance, and your continued use of the Service after the changes have been made will constitute your acceptance of the changes. Please therefore make sure you read any such notice carefully. If you do not wish to continue using the Service under the new version of the Agreements, you may terminate your account by contacting us.

3 Enjoying A to Z

You can find a description of our Service options on our website we do not offer any free-of-charge or trial services, we only provide options that require payment before you can access them (the “Paid Subscriptions”). We reserve the right to modify, terminate or otherwise amend our offered subscription plans at any time in accordance with these Terms.

4 Payment, cancellation, and cooling off

4.1 Payment

You may purchase a Paid Subscription directly from A to Z but the payment is managed by a third party as indicated to you at sign up and subsequently notified to you if changed. You will either pay a subscription fee in advance, on a monthly basis or, on an annual basis.

 

A to Z may change the price for the Paid Subscriptions, including recurring subscription fees, from time to time and will communicate any price changes to you in advance and, if applicable, how to accept those changes. Price changes will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. Subject to applicable law, you accept the new price by continuing to use the A to Z Service after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with a price change, you have the right to reject the change by unsubscribing from the Paid Subscription prior to the price change going into effect.

4.2 Renewal; Cancellation

Your payment to A to Z (via our third party payment provider) will automatically renew at the end of the applicable subscription period, unless you cancel your Paid Subscription before the end of the then‐current subscription period by following the cancellation procedure. The cancellation will take effect the day after the last day of the current subscription period and you will no longer have the right to access or view the Content. If you purchased your Paid Subscription through A to Z and you cancel your payment or Paid Subscription and/or terminate any of the Agreements (1) after the Cooling-off Period is over (where applicable), or (2) before the end of the current subscription period, we will not refund any subscription fees already paid to us.

4.3 Cooling off

If you register for a Paid Subscription, you may change your mind for any or no reason and receive a full refund of all monies paid within fourteen (14) days starting from the day you sign-up for the relevant service (the “Cooling-off Period”) in accordance with the following:

 

If you purchase a Paid Subscription, you authorize A to Z (or it’s third party payment service) to charge you automatically each month until you cancel. You agree that the Cooling-off Period is available for fourteen (14) days after your purchase but is lost upon your first viewing of any Content during that period;

If you wish to receive a full refund of all monies paid to A to Z before the Cooling-off Period is over, you must get in touch with us via any of the means set out on our Contact us page. When we process any refund, we will refund amounts using the method you used for payment.
