SECTION 8: PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS
Orders
We will take all reasonable care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Website.
As each band you order is specifically personalised to your requirements, we are unable to accept returns for any item unless the item is faulty.
Contract creation and electronic contracting
The technical steps required to create the contract between you and us are as follows:
You place the order for your products on the Website by pressing the confirm order button at the end of the checkout process. You will be guided through the process of placing an order by a series of simple instructions on the Website.
We will send to you an order acknowledgement email detailing the products you have ordered. This is not an order confirmation or order acceptance from The ID Band Company.
As your product is shipped from our warehouse, we will send you a dispatch confirmation email.
Order acceptance and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place on the dispatch to you of the Products ordered unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order, or you have cancelled it in accordance with the instructions in Change or cancel an order as detailed below.
Non-acceptance of an order may be a result of one of the following:
1. The product you ordered being unavailable from stock.
2. Our inability to obtain authorisation for your payment.
3. The identification of a pricing or product description error.
4. You not meeting the eligibility to order criteria set out in the main Terms & Conditions.
The contract will be concluded in English.
The details of your specific contract will not be filed by The ID Band Company. If you do require any information regarding orders you have placed with The ID Band Company, please email us at sales@sportsguardian.com.
SECTION 9: DELIVERY POLICY
We deliver all orders via second class post within the UK and airmail for all other countries via Royal Mail unless you requested express delivery with our international courier service. We cannot accept responsibility for any delays caused by disruptions, strikes or other problems with Royal Mail's network or with any other postal service which form part of the delivery chain.
We endeavour to dispatch orders within 1-3 working days, starting the day after you place your order unless otherwise stated in the product detail page for the item you are buying. If we are unable to dispatch your order within this timescale, we will contact you via email to explain the delay and to advise when we expect to be able to dispatch your order. Very occasionally we may be out of stock for a specific item while more items are manufactured / delivered. This sometimes happens during periods of exceptional demand. If we are not able to dispatch your order within 5 working days starting the day after we receive your order (and if the product detail page does not state a longer dispatch time), we will email you with the estimated delivery date for your goods. If this happens, we will do our utmost to get your order to you within 10 working days. International orders can take up to 20 working days starting from the date of dispatch unless Express Delivery is selected.
SECTION 10: APP SUBSCRIPTIONS
The Sports Guardian service is available at different subscription levels. The different subscription levels offer Users differing access to Service features. You will need to register for a Sports Guardian account in order to take out a subscription and download the app. You can access the app through the following mobile browsers when connected to the internet:
Android 5 and newer
iOS 10 and newer
Google Chrome (latest stable version)
Firefox (latest stable version)
Safari (latest stable version)
Your subscription is personal to you and non-transferable.
Your order for an app subscription upgrade is an offer to purchase a subscription from us which, if accepted by email, will then constitute a binding contract. Nothing that we do or say will amount to any acceptance of that offer until we send you confirmation of your order by email.
We will not be responsible for any failure by you to receive such confirmation which results from your failure to supply us with correct contact details.
Once your app subscription order has been accepted, your subscription will continue and renew automatically on an annual basis until it is ended by you in accordance with the terms set out under Cancellation below.
We may also cancel your subscription in accordance with the terms set out under Cancellation below.
You will continue to be charged the applicable annual fee each time your app subscription renews.
Upgrade policy
You can upgrade your subscription level at any time by selecting the upgrade option in the app.
Any change in subscription level within the same term (that is, if you change from one annual subscription level to another annual subscription level) where you are moving up subscription levels with higher subscription fees is considered an upgrade.
Upgrades happen as soon as we send you an email confirming acceptance of your upgrade request. This includes access to any new features.
When you upgrade your subscription level, the date you are invoiced is changed to the date the upgrade occurred. If you upgrade in the middle of your term, any remaining time on your current term is prorated and applied as a credit to your new subscription level, so you'll pay only the difference. The prorated amount is calculated based on the number of days that have elapsed on your current subscription divided by the total number of days in your original subscription term.
Downgrade Policy
A downgrade is any change in subscription to move down a subscription level with lower subscription fees, such as Silver to bronze.
You will not be issued a refund if you decide to downgrade or cancel your subscription. All downgrades happen after the current annual subscription term ends.
To downgrade your subscription level, please email sales@sportsguardian.com
Changes to the app subscription levels
We reserve the right to change from time to time:
• the silver, gold and platinum app subscription level prices;
• the benefits and features of the app subscription levels; and/or
• the app (including its functionality).
If we change:
• the app subscription price, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice in advance. You will need to pay this new amount to continue receiving your app subscription. This change will take effect at the end of your current subscription term; and/or
• the benefits and features of the app subscription, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice in advance. This change will take effect at the end of the notice period.
If we change the app subscription price and/or benefits and features, we will give you this advance notice so that you can choose whether or not to cancel or change your app subscription.
If you are unhappy with the changes, you will need to cancel your app subscription, before the changes take effect. If you don’t do so, you will only be able to cancel your app subscription in accordance with the terms set out under Cancellation below.
You will continue to receive your app subscription, until you cancel your subscription.
We may change the app from time to time to implement technical adjustments, updates and/or improvements, for example to address security threats or remedy bugs. These are changes that do not affect your use of the app and so we will not give you prior notice and you are not able to cancel your app subscription due to these changes. You might be asked to reinstall the app, accept updates or log out and log back into your Sports Guardian account.
We also reserve the right to suspend the App and the App subscription at any time. See Suspension of the Live App below for more information.
We reserve the right to introduce temporary offers and discounts from time to time, to enable users to enjoy an app subscription for a reduced cost or without charge. These promotional offers will be subject to their own terms, which will be published together with the relevant offer, and subject to availability. We reserve the right to offer and withdraw promotional offers at any time and in no way guarantee that a promotional offer will be available at any particular time.
If you choose to take out an app subscription as part of a promotion or discount, you will need to comply with the offer terms and will be charged the reduced price during the offer period. At the end of the offer period, your subscription will automatically continue on a rolling monthly or annual basis at the full subscription price.
Cancellation
You can cancel your app subscription at any point by cancelling before your next annual payment date.
The cancellation will take effect at the end of your current annual billing period. You will not receive your app subscription after this time and any Sports Guardian products registered to you in the app will be permanently deactivated. You will not receive any refund for cancelling your subscription.
If you do not cancel before your next payment date, your app subscription will automatically renew for another year and you will need to cancel before the next payment date.
We may cancel your app subscription immediately if you breach any of your main obligations under these terms and conditions, including if we do not receive a payment when due from you. We will make reasonable efforts to contact you before your app subscription is cancelled in this way. If we cancel for this reason, you are not entitled to a refund.
Suspension of the live app
We may need to suspend the supply of the App and your App subscription at any particular time:
• to deal with technical, legal, regulatory or security issues; and/or
• due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
We will try to let you know in advance if we are suspending supply but this may not always be possible, for example if we need to suspend urgently or due to an emergency. Where we suspend supply, we will work hard to try and minimise the period of unavailability.
We will not be liable to you for any loss due to your loss of access if we suspend the supply of the app and your app subscription.
