You are responsible for configuring your information technology, computer programmes and platform to access our Sites and Resources.

We do not guarantee that our Sites, Resources, or any content on them, will always be available or be uninterrupted. You accept that we may suspend, withdraw or restrict the availability of all or any part of our Sites and Resources for business and operational reasons, as may the third party software providers on which we rely from time to time to keep our Sites and Resources operational.

If you choose, or you are provided with, a User identification code, password or any other piece of information as part of account creation processes (e.g. when signing up to the Law Student Academy Site) or our security procedures, you must treat such information as strictly confidential and not disclose it to any third party.

We have the right to immediately disable, suspend, restrict or terminate any User identification code, account access or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time and for any reason, if in our sole discretion you have failed to comply with any provision of these T&Cs, engaged in conduct which is (or potentially is) harmful to our business, brand or reputation or which is in violation of any law or professional code of conduct, or for any other reason. Such suspension or termination may be implemented immediately without prior notice, and we shall have no liability for any consequences thereof (other than as set out in these T&Cs).

You must not share your account access, password or other login details nor any of our downloaded Resources with any other person, nor otherwise seek to circumvent our Site’s security, paywall or subscription. If you know or suspect that anyone other than you knows your User identification code or password or has access to your account, you must promptly notify us at [email protected].

You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access our Sites through your device or internet connection are aware of these T&Cs and other applicable terms, and that they comply with them.

2.3 Uploading content to our Sites

Whenever you make use of a feature that allows you to upload or post content to our Sites (“User Content”), or to make contact with other Users of our Sites or Communication Channels, you must do so in accordance with these T&Cs.

Any facts comprised in User Content must be accurate and any opinions must be genuinely held.

User Content must comply with all applicable laws in England and Wales and in any other country from which such User Content can be viewed and not be in contempt of court.

User Content must not:


You warrant that any User Content uploaded or posted through your User identification or account complies with the standards set out in these T&Cs, is accurate, lawful and non-infringing, and you agree that you will be liable to us and indemnify us against all claims, damages, costs and legal fees arising from or in connection with your User Content or any breach by you of this warranty. This means you will be responsible for any loss or damage we suffer as a result of your breach of warranty.

You accept that we reserve the right to disclose your identity to any third party who is claiming that any content posted or uploaded by you to our Sites or Communication Channels is unlawful, inaccurate, defamatory, constitutes a violation of their intellectual property rights, or of their right to privacy.

You are solely responsible for securing and backing up your content.

3. OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

3.1 Our Products

We may update or amend our Products from time to time, for example to reflect changes in relevant laws, industry trends and recruitment practices. This includes adding, removing and amending our Products in our sole discretion. This means our Products may vary slightly from their pictures and descriptions. Product packaging may also vary.

The images and descriptions of the Products on our Sites and Communication Channels are for illustrative purposes only and the content included in our Products (our Product Content) is provided for general information only. Product Content is not intended to amount to advice on which you should rely. You must obtain professional or specialist advice or tuition before taking, or refraining from taking, any action on the basis of the Product Content.

Although we make reasonable efforts to update the Product Content, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the Product Content is accurate, complete, fit for purpose or up to date.

We reserve the right to change our prices and to introduce, amend, retract or expire discounts at any time, in our sole discretion and without notice. For existing subscribers, price changes will take effect with a minimum of 14 days' notice, except where we are legally required to provide longer notice periods, and subject to clause 3.2 below. All prices are subject to applicable taxes, duties, and third-party charges, which are your sole responsibility.  

3.2 Law Student Academy subscriptions

Your use of the Law Student Academy e-learning Site (“LSA Platform”) is subject to our T&Cs and the Thinkific T&Cs, as are in place from time to time.

In this clause, “calendar month” means the duration from and including a numeric day in one month, to the day immediately preceding the corresponding numeric day in the next month (for example, from 16 July to 15 August), with the first day being the day on which you commenced your subscription to the LSA Platform.

Monthly subscriptions:

If you purchase a monthly subscription to the LSA Platform, you can cancel at any time before the end of a given calendar month in order to avoid being charged for the following calendar month. Subject to these T&Cs and any mandatory cooling off periods and allowed deductions prescribed by UK consumer protection law, if you do not cancel before the end of a given calendar month and are consequently charged for the following calendar month, you will not be eligible for a refund for that following calendar month.

Free subscriptions:

If you commence a free or discounted subscription to the LSA Platform, you accept and agree that once such free or discounted period ends, you will be automatically charged full price for each subsequent calendar month (subject to these T&Cs, such “full price” will be the price displayed on the LSA Platform), unless you cancel your subscription before the end of the final free or discounted calendar month.

You accept and agree that free subscriptions may not include access to certain courses or benefits, including (but not limited to) access to subscriber-only Q&A and free access to paid events.

Annual subscriptions:

Subject to these T&Cs and any mandatory cooling off periods and allowed deductions prescribed by UK consumer protection law, annual subscriptions are non-refundable. If you purchase an annual subscription to the LSA Platform (which entitles you to 12 months’ access, commencing on the date on which such subscription commences), you accept that the price is discounted to reflect your commitment to a longer subscription and you will therefore not be eligible for a refund for any portion of the applicable 12 month period. If you do not want to be charged for a subsequent 12 month period, it is your responsibility to cancel your annual subscription before the end of your current 12 month period.

General:

If for any reason the software provider we rely upon to supply the LSA Platform experiences technical or commercial issues that inhibit our ability to make available the LSA Platform content to you for more than 10 consecutive days, we will (on request, provided such request is made by email within 30 days of such issue being largely resolved) either refund any amounts you have paid for the period in excess of those 10 consecutive days during which the LSA Platform content remained substantially unavailable, or offer an equivalent extension to your subscription period free of charge. We will not be liable under any circumstances to non-paying Users in connection with the unavailability of LSA Platform content. In the circumstances described in this LSA terms of use, we will use our reasonable endeavours to contact you about any issues as soon as reasonably practicable.

We reserve the right to stop providing aspects of our Services from time to time. Where this is the case, we will let you know as soon as reasonably practicable and, provided that the removal of the relevant aspects of our Services has a materially negative impact on the platform as a whole, shall (on your request, provided such request is made by email within 30 days of such removal of aspects of the Services) refund you for any sums paid in advance in respect of Services which will not be provided.

4. RETURNS AND REFUNDS

A contract for our Services is completed when the relevant Service has been paid for and accessed (e.g. by logging into an account), streamed and/or otherwise delivered (depending on the nature of the Service).

For most products bought online, including subscriptions to the LSA Platform, you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days of receipt and receive a refund. However, this right to cancel and receive a refund does not apply in respect of:

 

Where you qualify for a refund under UK consumer rights law for services or digital products, we may deduct an amount from such refund to reflect any period during which the services or digital products had been supplied. 

Where you purchase digital content or services for immediate access (such as the LSA platform subscription), by proceeding with such purchase you expressly request immediate performance and acknowledge that you thereby waive your right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 once access, download or streaming has commenced. 

5. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES & RESOURCES

5.1 Third-party software providers

If you choose to access Services that rely on technology supplied by third-party software providers (for example, for the LSA Platform, for webinars, for newsletters, for online community groups, and other software providers on which we may rely from time to time) (“Software Providers”), you agree to do so at your own risk and always in accordance with any terms, conditions and policies imposed by such Software Providers. We shall have no liability whatsoever for any failures, interruptions, or defects in third-party services, even if such failures result in unavailability of our Services. 

You agree not to hold us responsible if defective third-party software damages a device or digital content belonging to you and accept that we will never accept responsibility for damage which you could have avoided by applying an update available to you free of charge or for damage which was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us or the relevant Software Providers.

5.2 Third-party resources

Where our Services contain links to third parties, including (but not limited to) links to other website content, social media channels, platforms, individuals, organisations, products (including books), services, or other resources (including content, communications, mailing lists, advice and information) (“Third-Party Resources”), these links are provided for your information only.

Links to Third-Party Resources should not ever be interpreted as recommendations that you interact with such Third-Party Resources, or as approval by us of those Third-Party Resources or information you may obtain from them, and you accept that we have no control over the nature or availability of such Third-Party Resources.

If you access, purchase or use any Third-Party Resources:


5.3 Linking to our Services

You may link to our Services, provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal, does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it, and does not suggest any form of association, approval or endorsement on our part where none exists.

You must not establish a link to our Services in any websites or resources (e.g. books, magazines, newsletters, online resources and posts etc.) that are not owned by you, unless you have been given express permission to do so by the owner of such websites or resources.

Our Services must not be framed on any other Sites or within any resources, nor may you create a link to any part of our Sites other than the home page.

We reserve the right to withdraw linking permission at any time and in our sole discretion.

If you wish to link to or make any use of our Services other than as set out in these T&Cs, please contact [email protected].

Where we consent to you Sharing Content, you agree that our status (and that of any identified contributors) as the authors of the relevant content must always be acknowledged, and that we can withdraw our consent at any time (at which point, you will return, remove and/or destroy the content and any copies thereof, at our request and in our sole discretion, as soon as practicable).

You shall not use the Services to render any products, services, resources or content to third parties, for example by incorporating elements of our Services into webinars, webpages, social media posts or educational courses, and you shall not use any part of the Services in order to build a product, service, offering or following, whether for commercial purposes or otherwise, on your own behalf or for a third party.

You shall use all reasonable endeavours to prevent any unauthorised access to, or use of, the Services and, in the event of any such unauthorised access or use, shall promptly notify us of any details reasonably required in connection with such unauthorised access.

7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

You acknowledge and agree that we are the exclusive owner or the licensee of all intellectual property rights in our Services, including the material published on our Sites, content, materials, designs, trade marks and proprietary information. 

These T&Cs do not grant you any rights to, under or in, any patents, copyright, database rights, trade secrets, trade names, trade marks (whether registered or unregistered), or any other rights or licences in respect of the Services. 

You are not permitted to use our business name, trading name or logos without our approval and you shall not remove or in any manner alter any logo, brand name, product identification, proprietary mark, trade mark notice, copyright notice, or other notices contained in or comprising part of the Services.

Any unauthorised use, copying, reproduction, distribution, modification, or commercial exploitation of our Services constitutes intellectual property infringement and breach of contract, and may result in immediate account termination, legal action for damages (including but not limited to lost profits and legal costs), regulatory action (including but not limited to informing the Solicitors Regulatory Authority) and injunctive relief. We reserve all rights.

8. LIABILITY

8.1 General

If you have any questions or complaints about our Services, please contact us via [email protected]. 

We shall have no liability to your under these T&Cs or otherwise if we are prevented from or delayed in performing our obligations, or from carrying on our business, by acts, events, omissions or accidents beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts or omissions of third party service providers, strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes (whether involving our workforce or any other party), failure of a utility service or transport or telecommunications network, acts of God, wars, riots, civil commotions, malicious damage, epidemics, pandemics, compliance with any law or governmental orders, rules, regulations or directions, accidents, breakdowns of plant or machinery, fires, floods, storms or default of suppliers or subcontractors (including couriers, commercial printing companies and Software Providers), provided that we notify you of such an event and its expected duration (if we are aware of such event and an estimation is feasible). During such events, we may suspend Services without liability, and any payments made for Services not yet provided may be refunded on a pro-rata basis at our discretion. 

If we are made aware that the supply of our Services is significantly delayed or hindered by an event outside our control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and where possible, we will take reasonable steps to minimise the effect of the delay. We will not be liable for delays caused by the event or by any third party supplier.

Whether you are a consumer or a business User, we do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors and for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

You shall be responsible for any taxes or additional third party charges that apply to any Products you purchase, including (but not limited to) sales taxes and customs duties that are imposed in the jurisdiction to which such Products are delivered or supplied.

8.2 Additional terms for business Users

We exclude all implied conditions, warranties, representations or other terms that may apply to the purchase, access or use of our Services.

We will not be liable to you for any loss or damage, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, even if foreseeable, arising under or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, our Services, or your use of or reliance on any content forming part or all of our Services.

In particular, we will not be liable for: loss of profits, sales, business, or revenue; business interruption; loss of anticipated savings; loss of business opportunity, goodwill or reputation; or any indirect or consequential loss or damage.               

8.3 Additional terms for consumer Users

Please note that we only provide our Services for domestic and private use. You agree not to use our Services for any commercial or business purposes, and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity resulting from commercial or business use.

We take no responsibility for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable, or for any failure on your part to pass a particular course or successfully progress through any application, interview, internship or training process for which you were using our Services to support your learning, improve your technique and/or facilitate your professional development.

If defective digital content that we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage that you could have avoided by following advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage that was caused by you failing to correctly follow instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us or an applicable Software Provider.

Save for cases of fraud, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by our negligence, and to the extent permitted under UK law, our total aggregate liability in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise arising in connection with the performance or contemplated performance of our obligations under these T&Cs shall be limited to the lesser of: (i) £500, or (ii) the amount you have paid in the preceding 12 months (minus any refunds provided by us) for the Services in respect of which such liability has arisen. This limitation applies regardless of the number of claims or causes of action.

9. TERMINATION

If you wish to terminate a contract with us for a reason set out below, you must inform us immediately in writing, at which point the contract will end immediately and we will refund you for any Services which have not been provided. The reasons are:

  1. We have told you about a material change to the Services which will directly affect your order (for example, if the change means you will not receive in all material respects the Services anticipated at the time of placing your order) and you consequently do not wish to proceed;
  2. We have told you about an error in the price or a material error in the description of the Services you have ordered and you consequently do not wish to pay the correct price or accept the Services in the form that they will otherwise be provided;
  3. We have informed you that there is a risk that the supply of the Services may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control, and you consequently do not wish to proceed;
  4. We have suspended supply of the Services for technical reasons, or we notify you that we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 10 consecutive days; or
  5. You have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong. 

We may immediately terminate or suspend your access to our services without notice for:

  1. Any actual or threatened breach of these T&Cs;
  2. Non-payment;
  3. Conduct we deem inappropriate or harmful;
  4. Suspected or actual fraudulent activity;
  5. Suspected or actual violation of intellectual property rights; or
  6. Any reason in our sole discretion.

Upon termination, all rights cease immediately. You must destroy all copies of our content, and cease to access or attempt to access our Sites.

The following provisions survive termination: intellectual property rights, indemnification obligations, liability limitations, dispute resolution, and any accrued payment obligations.

10. DATA PROTECTION

We will only use your personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy. While we maintain what we consider to be appropriate security measures, you acknowledge that no system is completely secure. We shall have no liability for data breaches, unauthorised access or data loss, except where caused by our gross negligence or fraud. You are responsible for maintaining backup copies of any of your own important data. 

11. GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

All disputes must first be raised with us in writing within 30 days of the issue arising and sent to us by recorded delivery to our registered office. All notices to you will be deemed delivered when sent to your last known email address or posted on our sites. 

Once we have received a valid notice of a dispute, both parties will attempt to resolve any disputes for a further period of at least 60 days before bringing any claim.

These T&Cs and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. You waive any right to class action or representative proceedings. 

You irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these T&Cs or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims).

12. ADDITIONAL CLAUSES

You shall not, without our prior written consent, sublicense, assign, transfer, charge or sub-contract any element of the Services or any of your rights or obligations under these T&Cs to any third party, whether with or without consideration, without our prior written consent. We may assign, transfer or sub-licence our rights and obligations under these T&Cs to any third party without your consent, including in connection with any sale or reorganisation of our business. 

This Agreement does not confer any rights on any third party pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

If any provision or part-provision of these T&Cs is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed deleted, but that shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of these T&Cs. If any provision is unenforceable, it should be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving our intended protection. 

No failure or delay by us to exercise any right or remedy provided under these T&Cs or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
