To register with us, you need to complete our online registration form and provide us with your current, valid, and acceptable payment details.

2.2.        Your subscription will start when activated by us following the placing of your order (the date will be shown in your user account) and will automatically renew for a subsequent subscription term unless and until you or we cancel it in accordance with these Terms.

2.4.        You agree to purchase a subscription appropriate for your intended audience size, i.e. not exceeding the size we specify when you purchase the subscription. In the event of your audience expansion, you must promptly upgrade your subscription to correspond with the increased audience size.

Your subscription will start and we will charge you the applicable subscription fee on the day following the expiry of your free trial.

2.7.        If you cancel your subscription plan while in a trial period, you may reactivate the same subscription plan or choose another plan. If you switch to another subscription plan during your trial period, you will forfeit the remaining trial days and immediately begin the new subscription and incur the subscription charge.

We may further decide to make certain Subscription Content available to you on a viewing-only or streaming-only basis.

2.14.     If our updates or changes are likely to negatively impact your use of the Subscription Content in a material way (for example, if we plan to remove a significant portion of a module you have subscribed to, or if access to Subscription Content becomes unavailable for reasons other than maintenance of our platform), we will give you at least 30 days’ notice and you will have the right to cancel. If you cancel your subscription, you will be entitled to a prorated refund of any fees you have already paid to us from the date of termination until the end of your paid-for term. If you do not cancel your subscription after we have notified you about any changes and before these changes take place, and you continue to access the Subscription Content, unless prohibited by law, you agree that this constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

2.15.     You acknowledge and agree that we may at any time temporarily suspend access to your user account, with or without notification to you, if we reasonably believe there to be fraudulent activity or material breach of these Terms (once we have temporarily suspended your user account, we will notify you as soon as possible).

5.1.        In consideration for the licence to access, view and use the Subscription Content under the terms of the Agreement, you shall pay us a fee we agree at the time of your signing up, activating or renewing your subscription (the “Subscription Fee”). By purchasing a subscription, you authorise us to charge you the relevant Subscription Fee to your payment card using your payment details.

5.2.        We will charge the Subscription Fee at the start of your subscription, following any free period of access, and at the start of each subscription period thereafter, unless and until your subscription is cancelled. For example, if you subscribe with an initial 10-day free period of access on 16 April, the paying portion of your subscription will begin on 26 April following your free period of access and you will be charged on 26 April for the applicable Subscription Fee.

5.3.        Your subscription shall automatically renew each month or year, depending on the plan you have chosen, until it is cancelled.

5.4.        If you wish to cancel your current subscription, you must give us at least 30-days’ notice (including by submitting your request to cancel through your user account) before the end of your current subscription period to avoid being charged the fee for the subsequent period. For example, if you wish to cancel your subscription with effect from 1 May, you will need to provide notice no later than midnight on 31 March.

5.5.        We may, in our sole discretion and at any time, modify the Subscription Fee. Any Subscription Fee change will apply to your subscription from the start of your subsequent subscription term. We will give you reasonable prior notice of any change in the Subscription Fee. If you do not agree to the increase in Subscription Fee and you serve us a 30-days’ notice in line with clause 11.2, your subscription shall expire at the end of the current subscription period.

5.6.        Unless required by law, we provide no refunds or credits for partially used periods.  However, following any cancellation, you will continue to have access to the relevant Subscription Content through to the end of your current subscription period.

5.7.        All charges shall be in the currency specified at the time you signed up for your subscription.

5.8.        At present, Teamioed is not VAT/tax registered so we do not charge VAT/tax.

5.9.        If payment is not successfully settled and you do not provide us with up-to-date payment details or cancel your subscription, we may:

5.9.1.    retry the payment method and/or suspend your access to the Subscription Content until we become able to charge you. If you owe us any fees, you acknowledge and agree that we may charge you for any uncollected amounts and your on-going Subscription Fee when we become able to do so (for example, when you have updated your payment details). This may result in a change to your payment dates or subscription period; or

5.9.2.    notify you, maintain your access to Subscription Content for another up to 30 days, but you shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per annum above Bank of England's base rate from time to time.

5.12.2.your payment will be to that third party and you will be subject to that third party's terms (including any applicable usage rules). Important information on the applicable terms of sale, charges, taxes, payment methods, your right to cancel a transaction and when you can exercise this right (where applicable), and the technical steps to conclude a transaction, will be detailed in the third party's terms and conditions. You must comply with those terms and conditions and also with these Terms.

9.2.        The exclusions in clause 10.1 shall apply to the fullest extent permissible at law, but Teamioed does not exclude liability for:

10.1.3.the other party suspends or ceases, or threatens to suspend or cease, carrying on all or a substantial part of its business; or

The Customer may terminate the Agreement for convenience on 30 days’ notice to Teamioed (including by submitting a request to terminate through the Customer’s user account), such termination shall take effect at the end of the current subscription term at earliest (unless the Customer has terminated the Agreement by notice as a result of Teamioed’s change of these Terms that directly and substantially contradict the terms and conditions of the Agreement in effect when the Customer initially accepted it, and the Customer finds these changes unacceptable; in such case termination shall become effective after the expiration of the 30 days’ notice period).

10.3.     Termination or expiry of the Agreement shall not affect any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities of the parties that have accrued up to the date of termination or expiry, including the right to claim damages in respect of any breach of the Agreement which existed at or before the date of termination or expiry.

11.          General terms

11.1.     Waiver: A waiver of any right or remedy is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent right or remedy.

11.2.    Entire agreement: The Agreement sets out the whole agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous and contemporaneous agreements, arrangements and understandings between them, whether written or oral, relating to that subject matter.

11.3.     Variation: No variation of the Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the parties (or their authorised representatives).

11.5.     Third-party rights: A person who is not a party to the Agreement shall not have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of the Agreement, but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists, or is available, apart from that Act.

11.6.     No partnership or agency: Nothing in the Agreement is intended to, or shall be deemed to, establish any partnership or joint venture between any of the parties, constitute any party the agent of another party, or authorise any party to make or enter into any commitments for or on behalf of any other party. Each party confirms it is acting on its own behalf and not for the benefit of any other person.

11.7.     Force majeure: Neither party shall be in breach of the Agreement or otherwise liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations if such delay or failure results from events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control. The time for performance of such obligations shall be extended accordingly. If the period of delay or non-performance continues for four weeks, the party not affected may terminate the Agreement by giving seven days' written notice to the affected party.

11.8.     Notices: Any notice given to a party under or in connection with this contract shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or by pre-paid first-class post or other next working day delivery service at its registered office (if a company) or its principal place of business (in any other case); or sent by email to the other party’s recorded address.

11.9.     Governing law: The Agreement and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales.

11.10.  Arbitration clause: Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the LCIA Rules, which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause.
