19. General
19.1 The Contract is personal to you, and you cannot transfer the Contract to someone else without our prior written consent.
19.2 If any part of the Contract is or becomes invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the relevant part shall be deemed deleted, but that shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of this Contract.
19.3 If you are a business client, the Contract constitutes the entire agreement between us in relation to the Services and supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations, and understandings between them, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise, representation, assurance, or warranty made or given by us or on our behalf which is not set out in these Terms and that you have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based on any statement in this agreement.
19.4 No delay in exercising any right or remedy we may have or failure to object should be deemed a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on one occasion will not be a waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.
19.5 You and we agree that no partnership, employment, agency or joint venture relationship exists between us and neither you nor we are authorised to make or enter into any commitments for or on behalf of the other.
19.6 The Contract does not give rise to any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of the Contract.
19.7 The Contract and any dispute or claim arising out it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with the Contract or its subject matter or formation.
19.8 Clauses in this Contract that either expressly state survive termination or by implication continue after termination will survive termination for any reason.
19.9 Whilst we acknowledge that you are entitled to share your opinion on the Services provided by us, our reputation is very important. As such we reserve the right to take such steps as we determine necessary (including injunctive relief and/or a claim for damages) to protect our reputation from any false, misleading, inaccurate, defamatory, or libellous statements made by you whether in digital or written form. This clause shall survive termination of the Contract.
20. If you are a consumer:
20.1 You have a legal right to change your mind. For most of our products bought online or over the telephone, you have a legal right to change your mind about your purchase within 14 days of the purchase and receive a refund of what you paid. This is subject to some conditions, as set out below:
20.2 You cannot change your mind about an order for:
- digital products, after you have started to download these; or
- services, once these have been completed.
In relation to any Service where you request that we provide Land Registry Documents to you, regulations governing your consumer rights provide that a trader must not begin providing the services contracted for before the end of the 14 day statutory cancellation period without an express instruction from the client to do so. When you place an order with us for Land Registry Documents, you do so in the knowledge that we process most orders very promptly (usually within a 24 hour period). You therefore acknowledge that your order is, in itself, an express instruction for us to begin providing the service before the end of 14 day statutory cancellation period. Provision of the service commences when we send the documents to you.
20.3 If you change your mind about a purchase, you must let us know no later than 14 days after: the day we confirm we have accepted your order. If it is for a Service, for example our subscription-based Services then this will commence from the day we confirm we have accepted your order. Please note that you cannot change your mind about digital content once we have started providing it to you.
20.4 How to let us know. To let us know you want to change your mind, contact our Client Service Team by email to: success@nimbusproperty.co.uk.
20.5 You must pay for services you received before you change your mind. If you bought a Service, we don't refund you for the time you were receiving it before you told us you had changed your mind.
20.6 When and how we refund you. If your purchase was for a Service or digital content that hasn’t been delivered or that we're collecting from you, we refund you as soon as possible and within 14 days of you telling us you've changed your mind. We refund you by the method you used for payment. We don't charge a fee for the refund.
20.7 Your rights and remedies if you are a consumer. We honour our legal duty to provide you with products that are as described to you on our website and that meet all the requirements imposed by law. Remember too that you have several options for resolving disputes with us.
20.8 Our liability to consumers - we don't compensate you for all losses caused by us or our products or Services. We may be responsible for losses you suffer caused by our breach of this Contract unless the loss is:
- Unexpected. It was not obvious that it would happen and nothing you said to us before we accepted your order meant we should have expected it (so, in the law, the loss was unforeseeable).
- Caused by a delaying event outside our control. As long as we have taken the steps set out in the section 18 Delays Outside Our Control.
- Avoidable. Something you could have avoided by taking reasonable action. For example, damage to your own digital content or device, which was caused by digital content we supplied and which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply a free update or by correctly following the installation instructions or having the minimum system requirements advised by us.
- A business loss. Our liability for any loss you suffer in connection with your trade, business, craft or profession is limited, as described in section 10 Limitation of Liability to Business Clients.
