  2. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
    1. How we will accept your order. By submitting your details via the order process on the Website or the App, you are making an offer to us to subscribe to the PrivacyDefence Plan. We reserve the right to reject any offer in our discretion, for any or no reason. Your offer will only be accepted by us and a contract formed when we have successfully verified your details and communicated (including by email) to you in writing the acceptance of your offer, at which point we will provide you with access to your PrivacyDefence Plan. 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 to 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.
    3. Excluded Matters: Certain matters and services are excluded from the scope of the PrivacyDefence Plan.

LegalShield UK and/or the Service Provider will, in their sole discretion determine whether a matter is an Excluded Matter. 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 the period of any maintenance undertaken by the Service Providers or their subcontractors. Such maintenance may be scheduled maintenance or to deal with emergencies.
    5. Service Providers: Our Service Providers are independent, third party service providers and do not in any way represent LegalShield UK. They are not LegalShield UK employees or agents. 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. Services: The services that you will have access to as part of your PrivacyDefence Plan comprise use of the Monitoring Services (as defined at Schedule 1) and, when available, access to a Service Provider who may provide you with the Assisted Restoration Service (as set out in Schedule 2).

      8. follow all reasonable instructions which LegalShield UK and, where applicable, the Service Provider give you and any reasonable guidelines LegalShield UK and, where applicable, the Service Provider make available to you;
      9. not use the Website or the App or any other mode of communication to make or send abusive, offensive, indecent or nuisance calls or communications; and

The Service Provider will be responsible to the Member for the Assisted Restoration Service.
    9. Conditions for access and use of the Monitoring Services. Each Member agrees and accepts as a condition for subscribing to the PrivacyDefence Plan that the Services are not intended to be used as the sole basis for any decision, nor to relieve the Member of his/her obligation to comply with his/her own obligations under Applicable Law. The Service Data is based upon data which is provided by third parties, the accuracy and/or completeness of which it is not possible and/or economically viable for LegalShield UK or the Service Provider to guarantee. The Services also involve models and techniques based on statistical analysis, probability, and predictive behaviour. The 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 the Member’s own 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:
    1. any inaccuracy, incompleteness or other error in the Service Data which arises as a result of data provided to LegalShield UK and/or the Service Provider by the Member or any third party; or
    2. any failure of the Services to achieve any particular result for the Member.
    1. Conditions for use of the Services and Service Materials. The Member agrees that it will:
    1. use the Services, and/or Service Materials provided under this Agreement for the Permitted Purpose only and in accordance with any Documentation;
    2. not sell, transfer, sub-license, distribute, commercially exploit or otherwise make available to, or use for the benefit of, any third party any of the Services, and/or Service Materials provided under this Agreement, except if and to the extent expressly and specifically permitted by this Agreement.
    3. not (and will not allow any third party to) adapt, alter, modify, reverse engineer, de-compile or otherwise interfere with any Service Materials provided under this Agreement without the prior written consent of LegalShield UK or as otherwise permitted by law; and
    4. only take such copies of the Service Materials as are reasonably required for the Member’s use of the Service Materials in accordance with this Agreement.
    1. The Member shall not copy, interfere with and/or use in any unauthorised way any User Access Device provided by LegalShield UK or the Service Provider.
    2. It is the Member’s responsibility to inform LegalShield UK of any unauthorised use and/or disclosure of any User Access Device provided to the Member so that LegalShield UK and/or the Service Provider can suspend or disable that User Access Device as appropriate. The Member shall remain liable for any and all fees for the Services incurred in connection with the use of any such User Access Device, until the Member has informed LegalShield UK.
  2. CHARGES AND PAYMENT
    1. The price. The monthly price of the PrivacyDefence Plan (which includes VAT) payable by the Member will be the price indicated when you place your order or such other amounts as are communicated to you from time to time while you are a Member (the “Charges”). You agree to pay the Charges. The Charge for your PrivacyDefence Plan may increase each year after the expiry of the Minimum Term as provided in clause 9.2.
    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 accept your order or give you access to the Services, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the PrivacyDefence Plan in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
    3. When you must pay and how you must pay. You must pay the Charges by (i) direct debit from a suitable payment account that allows payment by direct debit, and you must maintain an active direct debit or (ii) by credit card, or debit card.

The first Charge shall be debited from your payment account within 10 Business Days of the date on which you become a Member. All subsequent Charges shall be debited from your payment account on or within 3 Business Days of the Subscription Day in each following calendar month during the term of your subscription to the PrivacyDefence Plan.
    4. Late payment. If Charges are not paid in accordance with clause 5.3, due to insufficient funds or any other reason, and you have not terminated this Agreement in accordance with its terms, we may suspend your PrivacyDefence Plan until we have received full payment. If you do not pay the Charges by the due date in accordance with clause 5.3, we can charge you interest on what you owe at 4% above the base rate of Barclays Bank plc. We will use the base rate that was in force when the Charges were due and we can charge you interest until you pay. We may also charge you for any reasonable administration or collection costs which we incur if you do not pay the Charges on time and in full.
    5. Additional charges. In addition to the Charges due to us, you are responsible for paying any internet connection or other telecommunications charges that you may incur by accessing the Website, the App, the User Access Device, the Helpline, or the Services.

    1. any loss or damage suffered or incurred by you as a result of the actions, advice and omissions of a Service Provider;

    4. We are not responsible for a Service Provider’s advice, actions or omissions. LegalShield UK does not accept any liability or responsibility for any Service Provider’s actions, advice or omissions.

    2. LegalShield UK is not regulated by the FCA and will not provide any regulated services to you.

    5. Members are not guaranteed access to a Service Provider as a result of subscribing to a PrivacyDefence Plan. LegalShield UK does not guarantee that Members will receive the Assisted Restoration Service from any Service Provider through the PrivacyDefence Plan.
  3. HOW WE MAY USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
    1. We will only use your Personal Data as set out in our Privacy Policy which is available at: http://privacydefence.co.uk/privacy-policy. Our Privacy Policy also sets out your rights as a data subject and contains other important information in relation to our processing of your personal data.

    4. If a court finds part of this Agreement illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the clauses and paragraphs of this Agreement operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses and paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
    5. Even if we delay in enforcing this Agreement, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under this Agreement, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaching this Agreement, 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.
    6. This Agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales and you and we can bring legal proceedings in respect of this Agreement in the English courts.
