You agree that we shall have no liability for indirect or consequential losses, loss of data, income or profits or damages for loss of or damage to property. 4.6 You agree that each of these limitations is reasonable having regard to the nature of our site and in particular given that when you purchase information, goods or services through our site, you will enter into a separate contract with the supplier in each case. 4.7 None of the exclusions or limitations in this clause 4 shall exclude or restrict our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence. 4.8 None of the above exclusions shall affect any statutory rights which are not capable of being excluded. However, in such case our obligation, where permitted by law, will be limited to the re-supply of our site, good or service to you. 4.9 Each of the above exclusions or limitations shall be construed as a separate, and severable, provision of these terms and conditions. 5 Site subscription and charges 5.1 Once you have provided your credit card or debit card details to us, and chosen your preferred payment model, for example, quarterly, six monthly or annually, we will charge such credit or debit card either monthly or annually in advance to align with the subscription you have chosen. You will also be charged a £50 set up fee in addition to your first payment to Returnloads. 5.2 Your subscription (monthly, quarterly, six monthly or annually) will automatically renew for the subscription period you have chosen unless you tell us otherwise (see clause 7.2), or cancel your direct debit. For example, if you choose a six monthly subscription, then six months after the date you signed up, you will be charged for another six months and the contract will continue to renew until you tell us otherwise. 5.3 If you fail at any time to pay any subscription charges due in accordance with these terms and conditions we may, in our discretion and without liability to you, disable your access to those areas of our site which are exclusively available to subscribers until payment has been received. We need not provide you with advance notice in such circumstances. 5.4 If you choose to sign up with instant access you will become a full paying member immediately and your first payment will be charged at the point of signing up. 5.5 Refunds Policy We do not refund subscriptions in any circumstances. In the event that you decide to cancel before your subscription renewal date you will not receive any refund, whether in full or in part. For example, if you pay for an annual subscription, and cancel six months into the contract, you will not receive a refund for the six months that you have left to run on your subscription. 6 Links to other sites Certain links, including hypertext links, in our site may take you outside our site. Links are provided for your convenience and inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement or approval by us of the linked site, its operator or its content.

Please note that we do not offer refunds (see clause 5.5). 7.3 Any rights that have accrued to either party at the date of termination will remain enforceable after termination. 7.4 If you would like to terminate your subscription (or free trial if you have been offered one) you must email us at cancellations@returnloads.net between 9am - 5pm Monday to Friday. If you have been offered a free trial and the last day of your free trial falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Bank Holiday, the free trial cancellation request must be made on the last business day before. 7.5 If you do not cancel your free trial in accordance with 7.4 you will become a full paying member, and will be placed onto the subscription you chose to trial, and you will be subject to our member terms and conditions. For example, if we offer, and you accept a free trial for a quarterly subscription and you do not cancel, you will automatically be placed onto a quarterly paying subscription and payment will be taken accordingly. 7.6 If you do not contact us to cancel your subscription in accordance with these terms we will assume that you wish to continue with the subscription, it will continue to automatically renew, and payment will be taken in line with your chosen subscription. 8 No commercial use You agree that you will use our site only for your internal business purposes and that you shall not exploit our site or any of its contents for any commercial purpose. 9 General 9.1 Third party rights Where in these terms representations and warranties are made to us and to suppliers of goods and services through our site, you acknowledge and agree that such representations and warranties are intended to grant rights to, and operate for the benefit of, all such suppliers and that each such supplier may rely upon and enforce such representations and warranties against you by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. 9.2 Variations We reserve the right at any time without notice to revise the content of our site (including the services offered by us) and these terms and conditions.
