Please note that delivery estimates are just that. They are not guaranteed delivery times and should not be relied upon as such. Time shall not be of the essence for any contract between us. As we process your order, we will inform you if any Services you order turn out to be unavailable in which case will provide a refund.

You agree to indemnify B-Paid Ltd and its affiliates for all claims brought by a third party against B-Paid Ltd or its affiliates arising out of or in connection with a breach of any of these warranties.

DEFAMATION CLAIMS

Because B-Paid Ltd lists many product and/or services for sale on the website and hosts many comments, it is not possible for us to be aware of the contents of each product and/or services listed for sale, or each comment or review that is displayed. Accordingly, B-Paid Ltd operates on a "notice and takedown" basis. If you believe that any content on, or advertised for sale on, the website contains a defamatory statement, please notify us immediately. Once this procedure has been followed, B-Paid Ltd will make all reasonable endeavours to remove the defamatory content complained about within a reasonable time.

All content included on the website, such as text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio clips, digital downloads, data compilations, and software, is the property of B-Paid Ltd, and its licensees or our content suppliers and is protected by English law and international copyright and database rights laws. The compilation of all content on this website is the exclusive property of B-Paid Ltd and its licensees and is protected by English law and international copyright and database right laws. All software used on this website is the property of B-Paid Ltd or our software suppliers and is protected by United Kingdom and international copyright laws.

You may not systematically extract and/or re-utilise parts of the contents of the website without B-Paid Ltd express written consent. In particular, you may not utilise any data mining, robots, or similar data gathering and extraction tools to extract (whether once or many times) for re-utilisation of any substantial parts of this website, without B-Paid Ltd express written consent. You also may not create and/or publish your own database that features substantial (e.g. our prices and product and/or services listings) parts of this website without B-Paid Ltd's express written consent.

B-Paid Ltd and its affiliates respect the intellectual property of others. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please advise us immediately.

TRADEMARKS

Trademarks not owned by B-Paid Ltd that appear on this website are the property of their respective owners, who may or may not be affiliated with, connected to, or sponsored by B-Paid Ltd.

HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy the b-paid.com service (the "Service"). All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that you have access to the Service ("Service Confirmation"). The contract between us ("Contract") will only be formed when we send you the Service Confirmation. Any product and/or services on the same order which we have not confirmed in a Service Confirmation do not form part of that contract.

SUBSCRIPTIONS

You are able to purchase a monthly subscription at the then current monthly fee as stated on this web site. Please note that at least one months notice of cancellation is required for this subscription. On subscribing, you enter into an agreement for subscriptions to be deducted from your account at the interval you select. To cancel your agreement, please refer to the Cancellation and Refunds sections below.

These prices include VAT and include delivery costs.

Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Service Confirmation.

It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Services listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our service dispatch procedures so that, where a Service's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Service to you. If a Service's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Service, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

We are under no obligation to provide the Service to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Service Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.

Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment with various cards listed on the payment pages of the website.

YOUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS, PRIVACY NOTICE AND REFUND POLICY

When you use B-Paid to create online orders, you are required to provide your Terms and Conditions, Privacy Notice and Refund Policy ("Notices"). You should use the Account link at the bottom of the Page to add your Notices. B-Paid Ltd has provided sample Notices for you to consider when using the Service, however B-Paid makes no representation or warranty as to their fitness or suitability for any purpose and you agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring that the Notices shown when you or your customers use your account are fit for purpose.

TERMINATION

B-Paid Ltd may terminate the Contract with you at its sole discretion for any reason at any time without prior notice. You agree that your sole and exclusive remedy shall be limited to that portion of your most recent subscription payment for which the Service has not been provided; this will be calculated pro-rata.

DELIVERY

Following our Service Confirmation email, we endeavour to grant you instant access to the service you have purchased providing you are able to receive and respond to emails from our site; on rare occasions when the site is extremely busy, your subscription purchases may take up to 15 minutes to enable; however, we are unable to offer any guarantee regarding the amount of time it will take for a specific service to be configured and made available to you. In any event the Service shall be delivered within 30 days of having been ordered. Should you not have received notification of your new subscription in this time, please check that you have made a payment with your bank. If you have made a payment and/or have a receipt, then please contact us during normal UK working hours at the Contact Us page and we will make every effort to resolve the problem as fast as possible.

CANCELLATION

We believe that the service we are offering is a real asset for our subscribers. We are re-investing in the site to continue to maintain and improve the services it offers and we hope very much that the question of refunds will never cross your mind. However, in case it does, we have a Plain English Statement below which we hope makes the policy very clear. Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything we can do to clarify matters.

If you are contracting as a subscriber, you may cancel a Contract at any time within 7 working days beginning on the day after you received the Service. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Service in accordance with our refunds policy below.

Monthly subscriptions - monthly subscriptions require no less than one month notice of your intention to terminate the subscription service. There are therefore no refunds available once the Contract is fully in place after the inital 7 Working Day cooling off period. To avoid any doubts No Administration Fee is charged on cancellation of the Monthly Subscription and no pro-rata refund is applicable. You may cancel your subscription by accessing the Cancellation option under your account which can be accessed by clicking on your name or on the account link shown at the bottom of the website.

REFUND

When you cancel the Service we will process your request as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day you have given notice of your cancellation. If a refund is due, we will undertake this in accordance with Cancellation as set out above. We will usually refund any monies due to you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.

Our liability for losses, direct, indirect, consequential, incidental, special or in any way otherwise incurred by You as a result of a failure to deliver the Service to You is strictly limited to the price of the most recent monthly payment you have made for the Service you purchased.
