If so, this will have been stated in the description of the Products on our Website. We will contact You to ask for this information. If You do not give Us this information within a reasonable time of Us asking for it, or if You give Us incomplete or incorrect information, We may either end the Contract (and clause 7.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate Us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the Products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by You not giving Us the information We need within a reasonable time of Us asking for it.

9.7.1.deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
9.7.2.update the Product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
9.7.3.make changes to the Service Specification as requested by You or notified by Us to You (see clause 10).
9.8.Your rights if We suspend the supply of Products. We will contact You in advance to tell You We will be suspending supply of the Products, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If We have to suspend the Product for longer than 30 days We will adjust the price so that You do not pay for Products while they are suspended.

10.2.We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between the date of Your Order and the date We supply the Product, We will adjust the rate of VAT that You pay, unless You have already paid for the Product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
10.3.What happens if We got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products We sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting Your Order so that, where the Product’s correct price at the date of Your Order is less than our stated price at Your Order date, We will charge the lower amount. If the Product’s correct price at the date of Your Order is higher than the price stated in our price list, We will contact You for Your instructions before We accept Your Order. If We accept and process Your Order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by You as a mispricing, We may end the Contract, refund You any sums You have paid and require the return of any Products provided to You.
10.4.When You must pay and how You must pay. When You must pay depends on what Product You are buying:
10.4.1.For Digital Content, You must pay for the Digital Content before You download them. If You are buying an annual subscription to access Licences you may opt to pay by monthly Direct Debit (as described on your invoice).

In the event that You fall into arrears with Direct Debit payments then the full balance becomes immediately due and payable.

This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay Us interest together with any overdue amount.
10.6.What to do if You think an invoice is wrong. If You think an invoice is wrong please contact Us promptly to let Us know and We will not charge You interest until We have resolved the issue.
10.7.When increasing the number of users on your subscription the renewal date for the whole subscription will be 12 months from the date of the most recent user increase.
10.8.We may increase the price of the recurring subscription at any time, we will notify you by email, or other reasonable manner, at least 15 days before the price change.
