13.             Price and payment

13.1           The Subscription Fee. The Subscription Fee will be:

(a)          for Individual Licences, Small Business Licences, and Medium Business Licences the price indicated on the order pages of the Website when you placed your order and VAT will apply as set out; or

(b)          for Large Business Licences, the price communicated to you by our sales team in writing when placing the order and Vat will apply as set out.

We take all reasonable care to ensure that the Subscription Fee advised to you is correct. However please see clause 13.6 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Licence you order.

13.2           Additional Users. If you have a Licence and would like to add Users to your Account (more than the permitted Users under your current Licence), then the Licence Manager will be able to do this within their account section of the App, including adding further Individual Licences or upgrading your subscription to Small, Medium or Large Licences (as applicable). Once requested we will confirm any change to your Subscription Fee which will become due and payable pursuant to clause 13.7. However, please note that if the requested change means you will then have more than 50 Users, then a Large Business Licence will be required and we may contact you directly to arrange the order and take payment. Details of the Users will be added to your Account and the Users will be provided with access details in accordance with clause 4.

13.3           Subscription Fee increase. We are entitled to increase the Subscription Fee once in each calendar year and in accordance with the average increase in the Retail Price Index over the three months preceding the change in Subscription Fee, as determined by the Office for National Statistics. We will let you know about such an increase at the time.

13.4           Promotional Code. If you have received a promotional code from one of our franchisees or other referral partner, then to benefit from the related promotional discount this code will need to be entered at the time the order for the Licence is made (in accordance with clause 4.1) and prior to first payment of the Subscription Fee. Any request to apply the discount after this time will be decided at our sole discretion and may not be accepted.

13.5           Additional Services fees. The price for the Additional Services will be the price specified at the time of purchase either on our Website or directly by us, and such price will be subject to VAT.

13.6           What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, we may have quoted the wrong Subscription Fee or other prices. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the Subscription Fee at your order date is less than our stated Subscription Fee at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the correct Subscription Fee at your order date is higher than the Subscription Fee stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where there is a pricing error, we may end the contract and refund you any sums you have paid.

13.7           When you must pay and how you must pay. For Individual Licences, Small Business Licences, and Medium Business Licences, we accept payment on a Direct Debit basis via payment platform www.stripe.com and payments will be subject to Stripe payment terms and conditions. The Subscription Fee applicable for the entirety of a Subscription Term must be paid at the time of order and prior to the date of renewal for each Subscription Term. We will provide a receipt of payment for your records at this time. For Large Business Licences we will take payment directly from you at the time we agree the order and confirm the Subscription Fee, such payment to be made by Direct Debit or other method designated at the time. Payment will then be taken by the same method prior to the renewal of any Subscription Term. For any other Additional Services, amounts and/or changes to the Subscription Fees, we will take payment at the time of purchase or change either via www.stripe.com or directly from you in accordance with this clause. All payments will be made at the time of purchase or in advance of any change, unless at our sole discretion we have agreed to increase your regular Direct Debit payment accordingly. We reserve the right to agree any other payment processes or prices with you in writing and will invoice you for these if applicable, such invoices to be paid within 30 days of the date of invoice.

13.8           We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 5% a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This 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 judgement. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

13.9           What to do if you think an invoice or payment is wrong. If you think an invoice or payment made is incorrect please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.
