4.6. Where it is intended that the materials should form part of a subscription service, We shall take reasonable steps to protect the materials from copyright violation, but You understand that the nature of a service that involves providing the materials to others means We cannot provide an absolute guarantee of the security of the materials.

4.7. We are grateful for feedback and may provide mechanisms to facilitate Your providing feedback.

If We have commenced fulfillment of goods or services other than returnable goods, or a period of 14 calendar days has elapsed since order confirmation, You may still request cancellation of Your order by sending an email to [email protected], specifying Your details and which order You wish to cancel, but We shall be entitled to deduct from any refund processing charges and costs of goods and services already delivered.

If We have not agreed to provide a credit account, payment for services shall be due at the time of order. If We have agreed to provide a credit account, payment for services shall be due within twenty-eight days of the time of order.
