4.2

If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the product.

5 – Your rights to make changes

If you wish to make a change to the product you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see clause 8 – Your rights to end the contract).

6 – Our rights to make changes

6.1

Changes to the products. We may change the product:

(a) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and

(b) to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a cyber security threat. These changes should not affect your use of the Services or the type of products we currently provide. If they will, we will endeavour to notify you in advance of how you might be affected.

6.2

Updates to digital content. We may update or require you to update digital content, provided that the digital content shall always match the description of it that we provided to you before you bought it.

7 – Providing the products

7.1

When we will provide the products. During the order process we will let you know when we will provide the products/services to you. If the products are ongoing services or subscriptions, we will supply the services or digital content to you until either the services are completed or the subscription expires (if applicable) or you end the contract as described in clause 8 or we end the contract by written notice to you as described in clause 10.

7.2

7.3

If you do not allow us access to provide services. If you do not allow us access to you to perform the services as arranged (and you do not have a good reason for this) we may charge you additional costs incurred by us as a result.

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 10.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products 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.

7.5

7.6

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. You may contact us to end the contract for a product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than one month and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the product in respect of the period after you end the contract.

7.7

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 12.6). 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 12.5).

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 to get the product repaired or replaced or a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), seeclause 11;

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

(c) If you have just changed your mind about the product, see clause 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; and

(d) In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see clause 8.

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 (e) 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 upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to;

(b) 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;

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

(d) we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you that we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than one month; or

(e) 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 of Service.

8.4

When you don’t have the right to change your mind. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of the following and which may be relevant to the products we provide (should we provide any products in future to which you do not have a right to change your mind, we will update these Terms accordingly):

(a) digital products after you have started to download or stream these;

(b) services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running; and

(c) sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software, once these products are unsealed after you receive them. 

8.5

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 the 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, you must pay us for the services provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind.

(b) Have you bought digital content for 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 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.

8.6

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 clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed. A contract for digital content is completed when the product is delivered, downloaded or streamed and paid for. A contract for services is completed when we have finished providing the services and you have paid for them. If you want to end the contract in these circumstances, just contact us to let us know. The contract will not end until 1 calendar month after the day on which you contact us. We will refund any advance payment you have made for products which will not be provided to you. For example, if you tell us you want to end the contract on 4 February we will continue to supply the product until 3 March. We will only charge you for supplying the product up to 3 March and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the supply of the product after 3 March.

(a) Where 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. The amount will be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.

11.1

How to tell us about problems. Please contact us immediately using its contact details below if you: (a) have any questions, complaints, claims or concerns about content which appears in the App or in relation to us generally; or (b) believe that any act or omission by us or one of our other users of the App is in breach of applicable law. We will then consider your concerns and decide whether to take action and whether or not any other user has in our opinion, breached any of these Terms. We will endeavour to inform you of the outcome of any review within a reasonable time of receiving your complaint. We both acknowledge that we, not the Platform owner will be solely responsible, are responsible for addressing your or any third party’s claim relating to the App or your possession and/or use of the App including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.

11.2

Summary of your legal rights. We are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract. See the box below for a summary of your key legal rights in relation to the product. Nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights.

12 – Price and payment

12.1

Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes VAT where applicable) will be the price indicated on Mobile App and/or Web App as applicable when you place your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 12.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.

12.2

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 product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

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 if you want to still proceed before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums due to you.

12.4

When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with debit and credit cards such as VISA or MASTERCARD, Paypal and as otherwise set out on our Mobile App and/or Web App form time to time. When you must pay depends on what product you are buying:

(a) For any digital content we may make available from time to time, you must pay for the products before you download them and instructions will be provided on the App from time to time.

(b) For Services, the following terms apply:

(i) If at the time of placing an order for Services you are a FlatIron or Wework member and have provided the relevant evidence of that to us as requested on our Mobile App and/or Web App, you are able to, on registering to use the Services via our Mobile App and/or Web App, select to participate in a free trial (the “Trial Version”). The Trial Version entitles you to use the Services for a period of 8 weeks or such other period as we may notify to you in writing, for instance should our separate arrangements with those organisations end then the Trial Version may also come to an end at our discretion (the “Trial Period”). Following the Trial Period, you will either: (i) be required to cease using the Trial Version and, as set out in clause 14, any continued use of our Web App and/or the Mobile App as an unregistered user will continue to be subject to terms set out in the Relevant Documents; or (ii) subscribe to the Mobile App and/or Web App in accordance with the remainder of this clause 9 for a Subscription. 

(ii) Subject to any applicable Trial Period, upon registering to use the Services via our Mobile App and/or Web App, the following monthly subscription terms apply (the “Subscription”): 

(A) This offers the Services, following payment of the relevant Subscription Fee, for a one-month period commencing on the date that we take payment from you (“Subscription Period”). 

(I) You must pay a fee in advance (the “Subscription Fee”). The Subscription Fee will be notified to you when registering to use the Services via our Mobile App and/or Web App. All Subscription Fees are exclusive of VAT or other taxes (where applicable).

(II) You shall pay the Subscription Fee using the facility on the Mobile App and/or Web App for payment. This includes Visa, Mastercard, Paypal or such other payment methods as we may notify you of from time to time. If you sign-up for a Subscription, this will be automatically renewed for each month and the Subscription Fee for the following month will be automatically charged to you at the end of each current Subscription Period. You can cancel that auto-renew by contacting us at contact@mindsstudio.com and we suggest providing notification that you wish to cancel your auto-renew at least 10 days before the end of the current Subscription Period. The cancellation will take effect the day after the last day of the current Subscription Period. In any event, you can otherwise cancel the ongoing Services in accordance with and subject to these Terms. 

(III)

You acknowledge that we are not a payment provider or a ‘merchant’ for payment. Instead, payment services are provided by a payment provider integrated into the Mobile App and/or Web App. We are not party to any agreement between you and the payment provider and are not liable for any claim or liability in relation to payment provision services. You may be bound by the payment provider’s terms which may be different to these Terms. Payment providers may decide whether you are suitable to use their services and we are not liable for such decisions.

(IV)

We may change the Subscription Fee from time to time and will communicate to you any price changes. Price changes will take effect at the start of the next Subscription Period and your agreement to use the Services following the date of the price change is deemed to be an agreement to the new price. If you do not accept the price change that you have the right to reject it by unsubscribing prior to the price change coming into effect. 

12.5

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 4% a year above the base rate of 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.

12.6

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.

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, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. 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.

However, we are not responsible for the cost of repairing any pre-existing faults or damage to your property that we discover while providing the services.

13.4

If defective digital content which we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage which was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.

13.5

We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products under these Terms to individuals for private use.
