PLEASE NOTE - Refunds will only be granted in the case of fraud, and/or in the event of Our partial or total non-performance, or inadequate performance of failure to deliver the agreed upon service to the member.
If the member has used the services (i.e. signs up to Knowso.co.uk using a credit or debit card and validates themselves), then the services have been determined and agreed to have been rendered. As such, except in the events as referenced above, the ability to demand a full refund for services rendered have been forfeited by You.

Refunds will be given only in the cases of fraud, and/or in the event of Our partial or total non-performance or inadequate performance of failure to deliver the agreed upon services to the member (i.e. site failure or service failure). If the member uses the services (i.e. signs up using a credit and or debit card and validates themselves) then services have been determined and agreed to have been rendered and therefore except in the circumstances referenced above, You forfeit the ability to demand a full refund for services rendered. For avoidance of doubt as soon as a sign up occurs for the membership, services have been delivered for that day and month and every day and month thereafter until membership is cancelled.
Apart from where there are serious grounds for doing so without notice, We reserve the right to terminate this agreement (cancel membership), by giving You one Week’s notice. Should this happen, We will only credit Your credit or debit card for the amount equivalent to the remaining days in the month i.e. pro-rata. For the avoidance of doubt We will not refund Your card for the entire charges of the month(s) or any charges for previous months. This is because the service was active and being used.
Upon Your membership being terminated, We will not be required to continue to provide the outlined service to You after the termination of Your membership.
If You choose to contact Us to cancel Your Membership within a valid Free Trial Period, Your Membership will end at the expiration of that Trial Period if You serve this cancellation request via a telephone call or email; if You serve Your cancellation request via post and Your request is received after the date that Your first payment is due, We will have attempted to take this payment.

Your Membership will remain active until the end of the current payment period and no further payments will be taken other than any outstanding payments. Any outstanding payments will remain as owed and we reserve the right to continue to attempt to take payment.
If the termination of Membership is received within a Trial Period, no Membership Fees will have been paid or will be payable by the Member, therefore no Membership Fees will be re-credited to the account of the affected Member. If the termination is at any time after the Trial Period, apart from Membership Fees that are already due, no further Membership Fees will be owed. The Member will not be entitled to a refund of any past Membership Fees charged to account of the Member (excluding cases where there has been inadequate performance by Us), and all access, use of or benefit of the Membership (including the Social Reporting Service) will cease.

You can cancel your membership and stop the monthly billing by contacting us via the methods outlined above. You will not be eligible for a pro-rated refund of your current month’s membership fee.
In the event that your payment of billing source is unable to process the membership fee or is no longer in good standing as a result of insufficient available credit of funds, at our discretion, we may divide the total membership fee into incremental charges in order to process the total membership fee, and keep you membership enabled.
Should the attempt for the charge of the Membership Fee at the end of the Trial Period or renewal be unsuccessful, we shall make immediate attempts on that day to contact you by phone and / or email and / or text message to find out why you have been unable to meet the obligations of your Membership Fee.
In the instance that we are unable to determine a method for you to pay your membership fees, we shall use CPA to make up to seven (7) further attempts for the full membership fee. The seven further attempts will last over a maximum of thirty (30) days. Specific details of billing days can be provided on request. During this time, your access to the Service may be suspended pending receipt of the Membership Fee.

Cancellation of the CPA is effective from the date we receive the notification so please contact us even if you cancel through your bank. You may lose access to the service.
