Please ensure that you have checked your Order carefully before submitting as any application that has incorrect information submitted shall incur a further payment for reproducing documents.
6.2 No part of Our Site constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance. Your Order constitutes a contractual offer that We may, at our sole discretion, accept. Our acceptance is indicated by your receipt of the legal document you have ordered and/or our receipt of your online payment. Only when you have received the legal document and/or we have received your payment will there be a legally binding contract between Us and you (“the Contract”).

If We do not fulfil your Order to your satisfaction, the cause of which is not due to any negligence or error on your part, your payment will be refunded in full, in compliance with the guarantee of satisfaction as given on Our Site.

8.2 If the information you provide is incomplete or otherwise incorrect, We will not be responsible for any delay caused as a result. If the documents that have been returned to us for checking have been incorrectly completed, or otherwise incorrect information that you have provided, we shall reproduce the documentation and reserve the right to charge accordingly, including payment in full.

9. Your Legal Right to Cancel (Cooling Off Period)

The period ends at the end of 14 calendar days after that date.
9.2 If the Services are fully performed within the 14 day cooling off period, you will lose your right to cancel after the Services are complete.
9.3 If you cancel after provision of the Service has begun but is not yet complete you will still be required to pay for the Services provided up till the point at which you inform Us that you wish to cancel. The amount due shall be calculated in proportion to the full price of the Services and the actual Services already provided. Refunds, where applicable, will be issued within 14 days of the date you inform us of your wish to cancel.

11. Our Liability
11.1 We will be responsible for any foreseeable loss or damage that you may suffer as a result of Our breach of these Terms and Conditions or as a result of Our negligence.
