7.5 Your rights if we suspend the supply of products. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the product, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the product, we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for products while they are suspended.

7.6. We may also suspend supply of the products if you do not pay.

We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the products. We will not suspend the products where you dispute the unpaid invoice (see Clause 12.7). We will not charge you for the products during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the products we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see Clause 12.6).

 

8. Your rights to end the contract

 

8.1 You can always end your contract with us.  Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:

A) If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract ( or get a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see 11;

B) If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see 8.2;

C) If you have just changed your mind about the product, see 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions;

D) In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see 8.7.

 

8.2 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (d) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

A) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;

B) there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;

C) we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 30 days; or

D) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

 

8.3 Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund.  These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.

 

8.4 Our goodwill guarantee. Please note, these terms reflect the goodwill guarantee offered by Purify4life Limited of 65 Etherley Road, London N15 3AL to its UK customers, which is more generous than your legal rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations in the ways set out below. This goodwill guarantee does not affect your legal rights in relation to faulty or misdescribed products (see 11.2):

Right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013

14 day period to change your mind.

As the product is a service, we may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied, ending with the time when you told us you had changed your mind.

For example, if you buy 4 sessions and you use 1 but then cancel in the cooling off period, we will refund you for any unused sessions. This would be a refund of 3 unused sessions.

How our goodwill guarantee is more generous

If you change your mind within the 14 day period and after your 1st session, we will refund you for that session.

Our goodwill guarantee provides that if you change your mind within the 14 day period and have completed your 1st session, we will give you a refund for your 1st session and the other sessions you purchased with it.

For example, if you buy 4 sessions and you use 1 but then cancel in the cooling off period, we will refund you for the initial session you completed with your trainer and the 3 unused sessions. This would be a refund of 4 sessions.

 

8.5 When you don’t have the right to change your mind.  You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:

A) services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running.

 

8.6 How long do I have to change my mind? How long you have depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered.

A) Have you bought services (for example, personal training)? If so, you have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your order. However, once we have completed the services you cannot change your mind, even if the period is still running. If you cancel after we have started the services, you must pay us for the services provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind.

 

8.7 Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see 8.1), you can still end the contract for your subscription before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for subscription services is completed when the Personal Trainer has finished providing the services and you have paid for them. If you want to end your subscription contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you have not changed your mind, just contact us to let us know and we will arrange for you to cancel on these terms in this clause 8.7 (a) (i) to (vii):

A) You can cancel your subscription at any time from renewing ONLY after you have paid 3 months payments. For example, if you join on 10 February, you need to pay your monthly subscriptions on 10 February, 10 March and 10 April, but you can cancel after that.

i) Start Date. Your start date of your subscription is the date you completed your first training session.

ii) Frequency. All our subscriptions are for a minimum 3 month term. This means your subscription will automatically renew every 3 months on the same day each 3 months until you cancel. For example, if it starts on 1 March, then it will renew on 1 June.

iii) Minimum Term. 3 months.

iv) Email. You can cancel by emailing us at [email protected].

v) When you cancel on time. If you contact us to cancel within 14 days of your last purchase, then your subscription will cancel the same month. For example, if your last purchase was 10 March and you contact us within 14 days of that date to cancel April’s payment, then it will not renew for another month.

vi) When you cancel later. If you cancel your subscription more than 14 days after your last purchase, (then providing you have not used any sessions in the month you want to cancel), we will refund you the cost of the month’s subscription less £30 as compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of you ending the contract. For example, if your last purchase was 10 March and you contact us more than 14 days after that date to cancel April’s payment, then it will renew for another month and take payment on 10 April but we will refund April’s payment to you less £30 for our costs.

vii) When you cannot cancel. If you complete a session during the month you wish to cancel, the contract will not end until the next month after you contact us. For example, if you tell us you want to end the contract in February, but have completed 1 session. We will continue to supply the products and we will charge you for February and March. The contract will not end until the end of March.

12.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.

Unless cancelled your subscription will automatically renew every 3 months

You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

 

12.7 Without prejudice to clause 12.6 above, in the event you do not make any payment to us in full by the due date, for any reason, we shall have the right to suspend all or any portion of the services we are providing you until such time as all payments and applicable late fees have been paid. Following such payment, we may reinstate the services we are providing you only upon satisfactory assurance of your ability to pay for the services, including modified payment terms such as prepayment. Such suspension shall not relieve you of any payment liability. You agree to reimburse us for any costs, expenses, or fees expended by us in connection with any collection efforts against you, including reasonable internal and outside legal fees.

13. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you

 

13.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

 

13.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products as summarised at 11.2.

 

13.3 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products for domestic and private use.

14.1 How we may use your personal information.  We will only use your personal information as set out in our [https://purify4life.com/privacy-policy/].

 

15. Other important terms

 

15.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.

 

15.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer our guarantee). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. We may not agree if  for example, the person who is receiving the transfer is not willing to complete our Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PARQ). You may transfer our guarantee at 8.4 to a person who has acquired the product (or, where the product is services, any item in respect of which we have provided the services). We may require the person to whom the guarantee is transferred to provide reasonable evidence that they are now the owner of the relevant item. For example by showing us an email from the owner that they have transferred the item to someone else.

 

15.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your guarantee on to). This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, except as explained in 15.2 in respect of our guarantee. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.

 

15.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

 

15.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

 

15.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts.
