4. Purchasing a Listing

4.1 Our Site will guide You through the process of inputting and purchasing Your Listing.

4.2 No part of Our Site constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance. Your order to purchase a Listing constitutes a contractual offer that We may, at Our sole discretion, accept. Our acceptance is indicated by Us sending You a Listing Confirmation by email. Only once We have sent You a Listing Confirmation will there be a legally binding Contract between Us and You.

4.3 We reserve the right not to accept Your offer to purchase a Listing for any reason (including, but not limited to, the inclusion in Your Listing of any inappropriate content and/or false or misleading information).

4.4 In the unlikely event that We do not accept Your Listing for any reason, We will explain why in writing. If We have taken payment any such sums will be refunded to You.

4.5 Any refunds due under Clause 4.4 will be issued to You as soon as possible, and in any event within 14 calendar days of the day on which the event triggering the refund occurs.

4.6 Refunds under Clause 4.4 will be made using the same payment method that You used when purchasing Your Listing.

5. Payment

5.1 Payment for Listings must always be made in advance. Your chosen payment method will be charged:

5.1.1 when We process Your order and send You a Listing Confirmation; and

5.1.2 on each renewal date.

5.2 Payments due from You must be made in full, without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction, or withholding (except where any deduction or withholding of tax is required by law).

5.3 We accept the following methods of payment on Our Site:

5.3.1 Paypal;

5.3.2 Stripe; and

5.3.3 Bank transfer.

5.4 If You do not make any payment due to Us on time, We will not make Your Listing available on Our Site (or, in the case of a renewal, will suspend its availability on Our Site). If You do not make payment within 7 calendar days of Our reminder, We may cancel the Contract, and will inform You of the cancellation in writing.

6. Listings, Pricing and Availability

6.1 We may from time to time change Our pricing. Changes in price will not affect any Listing that You have already purchased but will apply to any subsequent renewal of a Listing or a new Listing.

6.2 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all prices shown on Our Site are correct at the time of going online. Changes in price will not affect any order for a Listing that You have already placed (subject only to Clause 6.5 regarding changes to the VAT rate).

6.3 All prices are checked by Us before We accept Your order for a Listing. In the unlikely event that We have shown incorrect pricing information, We will contact You in writing to inform You of the mistake. If the correct price is lower than that shown when You made Your order, We will simply charge You the lower amount and continue processing Your order. If the correct price is higher, We will give You the option to purchase the Listing at the correct price or to cancel Your order. We will not proceed with processing Your order in this case until You respond. If We do not receive a response from You within 7 calendar days, We will treat Your order as cancelled and notify You of this in writing.

6.4 If We discover an error in the price of Your Listing after Your order is processed, We will inform You immediately and make all reasonable efforts to correct the error. You may, however, have the right to cancel the Contract if this happens. If We inform You of such an error and You do wish to cancel the Contract, please refer to sub-Clause 11.3.

6.5 Prices on Our Site are shown exclusive of VAT. If the VAT rate changes between Your order being placed and Us taking payment, the amount of VAT payable will be automatically adjusted when taking payment.
