4. Business Customers

We reserve the right to terminate without notice your access to any Product being used for commercial purposes or in the course of a business. Business customers or customers who wish to use Paid Content in the course of business or on licensed premises must enter into a Commercial Contract.
5. Products, Paid Content, Pricing and Availability
5.1 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all descriptions of Products and Paid Content available from Us correspond to the actual Products and Paid Content that you will receive.
5.2 We may from time to time change Our prices. Changes in price will not affect any Product but will apply to any subsequent renewal or new Product. We will inform you of any change in price before the change is due to take effect. If you do not agree to such a change, you may cancel the Contract as described in sub-Clause 12.1.
5.3 Minor changes may, from time to time, be made to certain Paid Content, for example, to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, or to address technical or security issues. These changes will not alter the main characteristics of the Paid Content and should not normally affect your use of that Paid Content. However, if any change is made that would affect your use of the Paid Content, suitable information will be provided to you.
5.4 In some cases, as described in the relevant content descriptions, We may also make more significant changes to the Paid Content. If We do so, We will inform you before the changes are due to take effect. If you do not agree to the changes, you may cancel the Contract as described in sub-Clause 12.1.
5.5 Where any updates are made to Paid Content, that Paid Content will continue to match Our description of it as provided to you before you purchased your Product to access the Paid Content. Please note that this does not prevent Us from enhancing the Paid Content, thereby going beyond the original description.
5.6 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all prices shown on Our Platform are correct at the time of going online. Changes in price will not affect any order that you have already placed (please note sub-Clause 5.11 regarding VAT, however).
5.7 All prices are checked by Us before We accept your order. In the unlikely event that We have shown incorrect pricing information, We will contact you in writing to inform you of the mistake. If the correct price is lower than that shown when you made your order, we will simply charge you the lower amount and continue processing your order. If the correct price is higher, We will give you the option to purchase the Product at the correct price or to cancel your order (or the affected part of it). We will not proceed with processing your order in this case until you respond. If We do not receive a response from you, we may treat your order as cancelled and notify you of this in writing.
5.8 If We discover an error in the price or description of your Product after your order is processed, We will inform you immediately and make all reasonable efforts to correct the error. You may, however, have the right to cancel the Contract if this happens. If We inform you of such an error and you do wish to cancel the Contract, please refer to sub-Clause 12.4.
5.9 If the price of a Product that you have ordered changes between your order being placed and Us processing that order and taking payment, you will be charged the price shown on Our Platform at the time of placing your order.
5.10 All prices on Our Platform include VAT. If the VAT rate changes between your order being placed and Us taking payment, the amount of VAT payable will be automatically adjusted when taking payment.
6. Products - orders
6.1 Our Platform will guide you through the process of purchasing a Product. Before completing your purchase, you will be given the opportunity to review your order and amend it. Please ensure that you have checked your order carefully before submitting it.

If We are unable to process your order due to incorrect or incomplete information, We will contact you to ask to correct it. If you do not give us the accurate or complete information within a reasonable time of Our request, We will cancel your order and treat the Contract as being at an end. We will not be responsible for any delay in the availability of Paid Content that results from you providing incorrect or incomplete information.
6.3 No part of Our Platform constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance. Your order to purchase a Product constitutes a contractual offer that We may, at Our sole discretion, accept. Our acknowledgement of receipt of your order does not mean that we have accepted it. Our acceptance is indicated by Us sending you a Product Confirmation by email. Only once We have sent you a Product Confirmation will there be a legally binding Contract between Us and you.

6.4.1 Your Relevant Identifier;

8. Provision of Paid Content
8.1 Paid Content appropriate to your Product will be available to you immediately when We send you a Product Confirmation and will continue to be available for the duration of your Product (including any renewals), or until you end the Contract.
8.2 When you place an order for a Product, you will be required to expressly acknowledge that you wish the Paid Content to be made available to you immediately. You will also be required to expressly acknowledge that by accessing (e.g., downloading or streaming) the Paid Content, you will lose your legal right to cancel if you change your mind (the “cooling-off period”). Please see sub-Clause 11.1 for more information.
8.3 In some limited circumstances, We may need to suspend the provision of Paid Content (in full or in part) for one or more of the following reasons:
8.3.1 To fix technical problems or to make necessary minor technical changes;
8.3.2 To update the Paid Content to comply with relevant changes in the law or other regulatory requirements;
8.3.3 To make more significant changes to the Paid Content, as described above in sub-Clause 5.5.
8.4 If We need to suspend availability of the Paid Content for any of the reasons set out in sub-Clause 8.3, We will inform you in advance of the suspension and explain why it is necessary (unless We need to suspend availability for urgent or emergency reasons such as a dangerous problem with the Paid Content, in which case We will inform you as soon as reasonably possible after suspension). If the suspension lasts (or We tell you that it is going to last) for more than 14 days, you may end the Contract as described below in sub-Clause 12.2.
8.5 We may suspend provision of the Paid Content if We do not receive payment in full on time from you. If We do suspend provision of the Paid Content, We will inform you of the suspension. You will not be charged for any Paid Content while provision is suspended.
9. Licence
9.1 When you purchase a Product to access Paid Content, We will grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to access and use the relevant Paid Content for personal, non-commercial purposes. The licence granted to you does not give you any rights in Our Paid Content (including any material that We may licence from third parties).
9.2 The licence granted to you under sub-Clause 9.1 is subject to the following usage restrictions and/or permissions: You may not copy, rent, sell, publish, republish, share, broadcast or otherwise transmit the Paid Content (or any part of it) or make it available to the public except as permitted under the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 (Chapter 3 ‘Acts Permitted in relation to Copyright Works’).
10. Problems with the Paid Content
