We will try to process your offer promptly, but we do not guarantee that your PrivacyDefence Plan will be activated by any specified time.

    2. Member: You must be at least 18 years of age and resident in the United Kingdom to be a Member and purchase a PrivacyDefence Plan. This Agreement is between LegalShield UK and the Member. You will only be entitled to access and use the Services whilst you meet the criteria to be a Member.

You will not be able to seek assistance in relation to any Excluded Matter under your PrivacyDefence Plan.

    4. Availability: We will try to ensure that the Monitoring Services are available to Members at all times. Our ability to provide the Services is dependent on the Service Provider providing the Services to us (in the case of the Monitoring Services) or you (in the case of the Assisted Restoration Service). Accordingly, availability of the Services could be affected by factors outside of our control, such as the availability of a Service Provider, the ability and/or willingness of a Service Provider to provide any Services, Services not being available because the Service Provider is undertaking maintenance work or is affected by emergencies and other technical and/or environmental factors. The Services will not be available during any maintenance undertaken by the Service Providers or their subcontractors. Such maintenance may be scheduled maintenance or to deal with emergencies.

Our ability to provide the Services is dependent on the Service Provider providing the Services to us (in the case of the Monitoring Services) or you (in the case of the Assisted Restoration Service). LegalShield UK will (if in its sole discretion it deems it appropriate) use reasonable endeavours to provide the Services, including giving you access to a Service Provider and/or the Services. However, LegalShield UK cannot guarantee the provision of all or some of the Services or access to a Service Provider or the provision of all or some of the Services.

    6.

Each Member acknowledges that it is prudent to use, and the Member is responsible for using, the Services as one of a number of factors in its decision-making process, and for determining those other factors. Therefore, LegalShield UK and/or the Service Provider will not be liable and will not accept any other liability for:
