Registration, Passwords and Responsibilities

You are responsible for keeping your information and passwords up to date and confidential.

Certain areas or features of the Site and/or Digital Applications may only be open to registered users or subscribers. By registering on the Site and not also becoming a subscriber, you will become a customer of PressXpress as a “Registered User”. Being a Registered User shall entitle you to certain benefits. You should check the benefits page on a regular basis as this page will be updated from time to time. PressXpress reserves the right to amend or vary the PressXpress Content available to Registered Users from time to time. In addition, and if you allow us to when registering your details as a Registered User, we will contact you from time to time in accordance with your preferences and our Privacy Policy.

You are solely responsible for the confidentiality and use of and access to PressXpress Content and the Site and/or Digital Applications using your user name and/or password. You agree to immediately notify PressXpress if you become aware of the loss, theft or unauthorised use of any password, user ID or e-mail address or of any PressXpress Content. You will provide PressXpress with accurate, complete registration information and inform PressXpress of any changes to such information. For the purpose of confirming your compliance with these Terms, PressXpress reserves the right to monitor and record activity on the Site and Digital Applications, including access to PressXpress Content.

Each registration and subscription is for the personal use of the Registered User or subscriber only. You may not share your log-in details or password with any other person. You may not share or transfer your subscription. PressXpress does not allow multiple users (networked or otherwise) to access the Site and/or any Digital Application through a single name and password and may cancel or suspend your access to the Site and/or a Digital Application if you do this, or breach any of these Terms without further obligation to you.

Subscription and Cancellation

Subscriptions

PressXpress offers different types of subscriptions (“Subscriptions”) including, for example, subscriptions to print issues of PressXpress (“Print Subscriptions”), access to Digital Applications and the Site (“Digital Subscriptions”) and print and digital bundles. PressXpress reserves the right to vary the amount of content and types of service that it makes available to different categories of users at any time, including without limitation to Registered Users.

PressXpress will try to process your Subscription promptly but does not guarantee that your Subscription will be activated by any specified time. By submitting your payment and other subscription details, you are making an offer to us to buy a Subscription. Your offer will only be accepted by us and a contract formed when we have successfully verified your payment and contact details, at which point we will provide you (or, in the case of a gift Subscription, the recipient of the gift) with access to the Subscription. You will receive written confirmation when your Subscription offer has been accepted (beginning the fulfilment of a Subscription does not signify acceptance).

Renewal

Unless specifically stated in any Subscription offer or promotion when you place your Subscription order with us, if you choose an auto-renew payment option, including direct debit, you agree that at the end of the initial subscription period (and of each renewal period thereafter), your Subscription will automatically renew for the same subscription period at the then prevailing renewal rate, which may be changed from time to time. If you do not choose an auto-renew payment option, we will contact you at the end of the initial subscription period with an offer to renew your subscription at the then prevailing renewal rate, which may be changed from time to time. You may cancel your Subscription at any time as set out below.

Cancellation

Unless specifically stated in any Subscription offer or promotion when you place your Subscription order, you have the right to cancel your Subscription at any time. Please note that if your Subscription includes a digital element, by placing your order you agree that we may start your Digital Subscription immediately and you acknowledge that you will lose your right to a refund in relation to any issues that have been published before you cancelled.

If you exercise your right to cancel, unless the terms of any Subscription offer or promotion state otherwise, we will reimburse all payments received from you, less a pro-rated amount for each issue delivered (if your Subscription contains a print element) or published (if your Subscription is a Digital Subscription only) before you cancelled.

In this section references to “published” includes publication on the Site, any Digital Application and/or otherwise made available digitally to customers.

If applicable, any reimbursement will be settled as described in the “Fees and Payments” section below.

You may notify us of your wish to cancel your subscription by contacting our customer service centre for your region. Details can be found on our customer service page.

As further detailed above you have legal rights with regards to your subscription including the right to cancel. Should you have any queries please contact our customer service centre for your region.

Fees and Payments

You are responsible for any fees that are payable including any processing or other fees charged by the issuing bank/payment provider.

The price to be paid for your Subscription will be made clear to you on the Subscription order pages or otherwise during the order process and may vary from time to time. You agree to pay the fees at the rates notified to you at the time you purchase your Subscription together with any processing or other associated fees charged by the issuing bank/payment provider. Eligibility for any discounts is ascertained at the time you subscribe and cannot be changed during the term of your Subscription. We will always inform you in advance of any increase in the price of your Subscription and offer you an opportunity to cancel it if you do not wish to pay the new price.

As well as Subscriptions, access to some PressXpress Content may be subject to a fee. All payments (including any applicable taxes) must be made in advance in US Dollars or other currency specified by PressXpress. You are responsible for the payment of all charges associated with the use, by you or someone else, of the Site and/or a Digital Application using your ID.

When you purchase a Subscription or access to any other PressXpress Content, you must provide us with complete and accurate payment information. By submitting payment details you confirm that you are entitled to use those payment details for this purpose. If we do not receive payment authorisation or any authorisation is subsequently cancelled, we may immediately terminate or suspend your access to your Subscription or PressXpress Content and in suspicious circumstances we may contact the issuing bank/payment provider and/or law enforcement authorities or other appropriate third parties.

If your use of the Site or any Subscription is terminated by PressXpress, you will be entitled to receive a refund of any credits or pre-payments which remain unused at the time of termination unless such use is terminated because you are in breach of these Terms (which will be determined solely by PressXpress). You will continue to be responsible for any fees or other charges you have incurred prior to such termination.

You may be able to use the Site to purchase products or services from PressXpress’s third party partners. In that event, your contract for such products will be with the third party partner and not with PressXpress.

If you are entitled to a refund under these Terms, refunds can only be made to the credit/debit/charge card that was used for the original purchase, unless it has expired in which case we will contact you.

User-Created Content 

You are responsible for all content you post.

The Site and any Digital Applications may include comments capability, bulletin boards, discussion groups and other public areas or features that allow feedback to PressXpress and interaction between users and PressXpress representatives (“Forums”). While PressXpress does not control the information/materials posted to Forums by users (the “Messages”), it reserves the right (which it may exercise at its sole discretion without notice) to delete, move or edit the Messages and to terminate your access to and use of the Forums.

You are solely responsible for the content of your Messages. You must comply with any rules posted by PressXpress on a Forum. You may not:

• Post or transmit any Messages that contain software viruses, files or code designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of the Site or any computer software or equipment, or any other harmful component;
• Collect or store other users’ personal data; and/or
• Restrict or inhibit any other user from using the Forums.

By submitting Messages to any Forum you agree to indemnify and hold harmless PressXpress from all claims, costs and expenses (including legal expenses) arising out of any Messages posted or published by you that are in breach of this section.

PressXpress has no control over individuals posting Messages on any Forum. PressXpress cannot guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of any Messages. Some users may breach these terms and post Messages that are misleading, untrue or offensive. You must bear all risk associated with your use of the Forum and should not rely on Messages when you make (or refrain from making) any specific investment or other decision.

By submitting a Message to a Forum you are granting PressXpress a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty free non-exclusive licence to reproduce, modify, translate, make available, distribute and sub-license the Message in whole or in part, and in any form. This may include personal information such as your user or pen name and your expressions of opinion. PressXpress reserves the right to contact you by e-mail about your use of the Forums. You waive any moral rights that you may have in regard to the Messages you submit.

It is not possible for PressXpress to fully and effectively monitor Messages infringement of third-party rights. If you believe that any content infringes your legal rights, you should notify PressXpress immediately by contacting our customer service centre for your region or by using the “Report Abuse” function on reader comments. Repeated misuse of the “Report Abuse” function will result in your access to the Forums being terminated.

The person responsible for payments and fees is the person who initially purchased the gift Subscription and only that person may receive any refunds or other payments that may be due in respect of the gift Subscription.
