Price of a Subscription

The price of a Subscription will be as quoted at the time you submit your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of a Subscription is correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system.

If we discover an error in the price of the Subscription you have ordered we will contact you to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Subscription at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. If we mistakenly 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 cancel supply of the account and refund you any sums you have paid.

How to Pay and Cancellation

Our Subscription fees are payable either annually or 24 monthly in advance at the beginning of the subscription period, which commences on payment of your Subscription fee. For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of how you choose to pay your subscription is for a minimum period of 365 days.

For all payment options we operate a direct debit payment system. We use a third party payment provider to collect payments from you on an annual basis. The Subscription fee will be non-refundable. Your Subscription will auto renew either after the date of payment of your first Subscription fee or 365 days after the date of payment of your first Subscription fee each year (“Renewal Date”), unless you cancel your Subscription with us by written notice to us no less than 1-week prior to the Renewal Date by emailing us at info@c-link.com.

The third party payment provider will require you to accept their terms of business before any payment is made.

Strictly at our discretion, if you wish to pay outside the direct debit payment system will be required to pay a minimum of six months in advance.

Cancellation

We may terminate your account, your Subscription and right to access the services, or any part thereof at any time by contacting you if you have materially breached these terms or if you have otherwise breached our Acceptable Use Policy.
