Once you are ready to make a purchase, you will be asked to enter your name, e-mail address and payment details. To purchase the product, you must click the payment trigger button.

5.3 If we are unable to accept your order. We will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product. This might be because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for or a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements, or we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or we cannot verify your age. If this happens, we will let you know as soon as possible and refund any sums you have paid.
6. Our products
6.1 Products may vary slightly from their description. Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter or advertising issued by us, and any descriptions or illustrations contained on the Website or in our catalogues or brochures, are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the services described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force.
7. Our rights to make changes to the Terms and products
7.1 Minor changes to the products and the Terms. We may change the product and the Terms:
(a) to reflect changes in the relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
(b) to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example, to address a security threat, a software update to be compatible with brokerage services, updating the digital content or changing the trading strategies. These changes will not affect your access or use of the product; and
(c) changing your tutor.
7.2 More significant changes to the products and the Terms. We may make more significant changes to the products and the Terms . If we do so we will notify you and you may then contact us to end the Contract before the changes take effect and receive a refund for any products paid for but not received.
8. Providing the products
8.1 When we will provide the products. During the order process, we will let you know when we will provide the products to you. If the products are for on-going services or subscriptions, we will also tell you during the order process when and how you can end the Contract.
(a) If the products are one-off services. We will begin the services on the date agreed with you during the order process. The estimated completion date for the services is as told to you during the order process.
(b) If the product is a one-off purchase of digital content. Subject to clause 12.5, we will make the digital content available to you as soon as there is a Contract.
(c) If the products are for on-going services or to receive digital content. We will supply the services or digital content to you until the services are completed or, if before, the Contract is terminated in accordance with these Terms.
(d) If the products we are providing on a subscription basis (for example, the Bot or the Fellowship). We will supply those products until either you cancel the subscription on one month’s notice or we terminate the Contract in accordance with these Terms.
8.2 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If the supply of our products is delayed by an event outside our control, then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of a substantial delay of six months or longer you may contact us to end the Contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.
8.3 What will happen if you do not give us the required information. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you, for example, details of your charts and broker. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the products on our Website. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the Contract in accordance with clause 17 or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it. If this clause is relevant, you will still be liable to us for any payments due pursuant to the Contract.
8.4 Reasons we may suspend the supply of products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a product to:
(a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
(b) update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; or
(c) make changes to the product.
8.5 Your rights if we suspend the supply of products. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending the supply of the product unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the product, we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for products while they are suspended. You may contact us to end the Contract for a product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 6 months and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the product, in respect of the period after you end the Contract, which will be calculated by reference to the services and digital content you have actually received prior to the Contract ending.
8.6 We may also suspend the supply of the products if you do not pay. Without prejudice to our right to terminate the Contract pursuant to clause 17.1 (a), if you do not pay us for the products when you are supposed to (see clause 18.4) and you still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend the supply of the products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending the supply of the products. If this clause is relevant, you will still be liable to us for any payments due pursuant to the Contract.
