be required to select the required Plan of Services.

warrant that such Services will be available at all times and cannot

Order within a reasonable period, we will inform you at the time you place the

“cooling off” period. This period begins once your order is confirmed and the

supplied up until 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. Any sums that have already been paid

accordance with the foregoing. Refunds, where applicable, will be issued within
