5. Our rights to make changes
   • Minor changes to the services. We may change the services:

   • We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the services is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to request we end the contract and potentially receive a refund for any services you have paid for but not received.
   • What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the services to you, for example, the purpose of and audience for the public speaking event, supporting documents, such as slide work and brief, user details and job title. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the services on our website or in our correspondence with you. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 2 will apply) or proceed with providing the services based on the information made available to us. We will not be responsible for supplying the services late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
   • Reasons we may suspend the supply of services to you. We may have to suspend the supply of services to:
     • deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
     • update the services to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;

   • Your rights if we suspend the supply of services. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the services, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. You may contact us to end the contract if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 14 calendar days and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the services in respect of the period after you end the contract.
   • We may also suspend supply of the services if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the services when you are supposed to (see clause 4) and you still do not make payment within 14 calendar days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the services until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the services. We will not charge you for the services during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the services we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 11.6).
7. Your rights to end the contract
   • You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what services you have bought, the circumstances related to why you end the contract, when you decide to end the contract and whether you are a consumer or business customer:
     • If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract;
     • If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 2;
     • If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the service, see clause Error! Reference source not found., 7.4 and 7.5 and 8.
     • In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your right to change your mind), see clause 6.
   • 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 (e) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any services which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
     • we have told you about an upcoming change to the services or these terms which you do not agree to (see clause 2);
     • we have told you about an error in the price or description of the services you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
     • there is a risk that supply of the services may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
     • we have suspended supply of the services for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 14 calendar days or;
     • you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
   • Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a consumer then for most services bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund.
   • When consumers do not have a right to change their minds. Your right as a consumer to change your mind does not apply in respect of:
     • services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running;
     • digital products after you have started to download or stream these;
   • How long do consumers have to change their minds? If you are a consumer how long you have to change your mind depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered.
     • Have you bought services (for example, video feedback services)? 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 or already commenced work, you must pay us for the services provided or the work undertaken up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind.
     • Have you bought digital content for viewing, download or streaming? if so, you have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your order, or, if earlier, until you start viewing, downloading or streaming. If we delivered the digital content to you immediately, and you agreed to this when ordering, you will not have a right to change your mind.
   • 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 are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind (see clause 1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for services is completed when we have finished providing the services and you have paid for them. A contract for digital content is completed when the content is delivered, downloaded or streamed and paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for services not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.

   • When we may make deduction from refunds if you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind, we may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied or work already undertaken, ending with the time when you told us you had changed your mind. The amount will be in proportion to what has been supplied or performed, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract

11. Price and payment
    • Where to find the price for the services. The price of the services (which excludes VAT) will be the price indicated on the Hard Truth Media website for pay as you go customers or, the pricing agreed for corporate/group offers. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the services advised to you is correct. However please see clause 3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the services you order.
    • We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the service, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the service in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
    • What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite taking all reasonable care, some of the services we provide may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the service’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 service’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. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract and refund you any sums you have paid.
    • When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment via Stripe (all major credit and debit cards) or Bank Transfer. Your card information is always encrypted during transfer over networks. For Stripe payments, you may wish to visit https://stripe.com for further details about the security of your card payments and their terms. Subject to any separate agreement we make with you regarding payment, you must pay for the services in full within five days of uploading any content to our website. You guarantee this time of payment. If you fail to pay on time, the services will not be carried out and the video you have submitted for review will be deleted from the platform. You agree to promptly update your account and other information where necessary (including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates) so that we can complete your transactions (if and where required) and contact you as needed.
    • Our right of set-off if you are a business customer. If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
    • 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 3% 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 judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
    • What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong 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.

    • We are not liable for business losses. If you are a consumer we only supply the services to you for domestic and private use. If you use the services for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose our liability to you will be limited as set out in clause 13.
13. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you if you are a business

    • You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.
    • Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between the individual users and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. 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, with the exception of a corporate/group arrangement in which the department lead will have that authority.
    • 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.
    • 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 services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
    • Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a consumer. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the services in the English courts.
