8.5 We will supply membership services to you from the Commencement Date for the duration of the membership term unless you end the contract as described or we end the contract by written notice to you.

Where certain information is required, this will have been stated in the description of the products on our website or we will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not provide 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 or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result.
8.7 If the services are face to face services which we have agreed will take place in a specified location (for example, your school) and you do not allow us access to the property to perform the services as arranged, we may charge you additional costs incurred by us as a result. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange access to your property, we may end the contract.
8.8 We may have to suspend the supply of membership services to: deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes; update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; or make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to you.
8.9 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 for longer than 7 days within any one-month period, we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for products while they are suspended.
8.10 We may suspend supply of membership services if you do not pay or if you are in breach of these terms. If you do not pay us for the products when you are supposed to and you still do not make payment within 14 days of us reminding you that payment is due, or, if you are materially in breach of these terms (including for reason of non-compliant uses of membership services), we may suspend supply of the products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts or you have rectified any such breach (to the extent capable of rectification). We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the products. We will not suspend the products where you dispute the outstanding sum. 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.
9. Price and payment
9.1 The price of the product will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order, or as otherwise indicated by us in writing. We use our best efforts to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However, please see below for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
9.2 The fees for membership services consist of an annual membership fee. The membership fee must be paid in full before you are able to access the digital content which is part of our membership services. We may update our membership fees from time to time; however, any uplift of fees will only ever be applied on renewal of memberships.
9.3 We will issue you with an invoice for the order. When you must pay depends on the payment method you select at the checkout. Where you choose to pay by ‘school invoice’, we will invoice you for the balance of the order once you have provided us with an email address to send it to. If agreed, you may access your order prior to invoice completion. If you think an invoice is wrong, please contact us promptly to let us know.
10. If there is a problem with the product or services
10.1 If you have any questions or complaints about the products or services, please contact us. You can telephone us at 07730 354345 or write to us at orders@theteachhub.co.uk or at The Teach Hub (Hubbard Consultancy Limited), 20 Moors Wood, Gnosall, Staffordshire. ST20 0FD.
11. Membership renewal
11.1 Your membership will automatically renew every year (on the anniversary of the Commencement Date). Prior to the end of your annual membership term, we will send you a reminder that your membership will renew; the reminder will specify the amount of the membership fee due on renewal and how to cancel your membership if you do not wish to renew it. Unless you tell us before the renewal date that you would like your membership to cease at the end of your membership term, membership will automatically renew for a further 12-month period at the end of your membership term.
11.2 Unless you tell us that you do not wish to renew your membership, we will issue an invoice for the new membership fee within a week of the renewal date. If you do not pay the invoice within 30 days, we will pursue payment from you in line with these terms. If you do not pay the new membership fee within 30 days, we will restrict your access to the membership services (including all digital content provided as part of the membership services) until you have settled the invoice in full.
11.3 Your entitlement to renew your membership is subject always to payment of the applicable fees and your continued compliance with these terms.
12. Your rights to end the contract
12.1 Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it and when you decide to end the contract.
12.2 If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed, you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product replaced, a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), depending on what has been purchased.
12.3 If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see below:
12.4 If you are ending a contract for a reason set out in the list below, the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided. The reasons are: we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to; 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; there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control; we have suspended supply of membership services or you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
12.5 You can still end the contract before it is completed. A contract for goods or digital content is completed when the product is delivered, downloaded and paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed, where we are not at fault, just contact us to let us know.
12.6 You may cancel your membership at any time using the website. However, you agree that you are liable to pay us for the membership fee for the entire membership term and there will be no refund due to you of your membership fee or any other costs if you cancel your membership prior to the end of the membership term.
13. Our rights to end the contract
13.1 We may end the contract if you break it. Without affecting any other rights and remedies which we may have and without liability to you for any losses which may result, we may end the contract for a product (including your membership) at any time by writing to you if: you do not make any payment to us within 30 days of the invoice being issued, and you still do not make payment within 14 days of us reminding you that payment is due; in our opinion, you breach any of these terms; you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products; in respect of face-to-face services, you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us access to your premises to supply the services; or you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you.
13.2 Upon termination (including for any of the reasons set out immediately above in this clause) or expiry of your membership, unless otherwise authorised by us in writing: your right to use our membership services (including any digital content provided as part of those services) shall cease with immediate effect, and we may take all steps as we consider necessary to implement this; and you cannot report to follow The Teach Hub Letters and Sounds Programme in your school – you must immediately remove any reference to the programme or programme resources from your school website, from school policy documents and guidance documents from parents.
13.3 If we end the contract in the situations set out in this clause, we will refund any money you have paid in advance for products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.
13.4 We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the product.

19. Governing Law
19.1 These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of United Kingdom without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
19.2 Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us regarding our Service, and supersede and replace any prior agreements we might have between us regarding the Service.
