Patrons Terms & Conditions

These Terms only apply to Patron subscriptions taken out directly via our website collegewebsites.ac.uk.
You must be at least 18 years old to take a Patron Subscription.
We try to process all new Subscriptions promptly, but do not guarantee that your Patron Subscription will be activated by any specified time. By submitting your payment and other patron subscription details, you have made an offer to Digital Operations Group to buy a Subscription. Your offer will only be accepted by us and a contract formed when we have successfully verified your details, at which point we will provide you with access to your Subscription. We reserve the right to reject any offer in our discretion, for any or no reason.
Each Subscription includes use by all employees of an individual institution except:
1. Where an institution is part of a larger organisation, for example a Local Government Unit or University, use is limited to employees of the Department or College.
2. Where an institution is indivisible from a larger College Group, use is extended to all employees of the Group.
Each employee accessing the registered user areas of the website must register individually.

You agree to pay the price at the rate notified at the time you take out your Patron Subscription. We may modify the price of any Patron Subscription, remove and/or offer certain other patron subscription services from time to time. We will always tell you in advance of any increase in the price of your Subscription and offer you an opportunity to cancel it if you do not wish to pay the new price.
If we discover an error in the prices listed on the Site, we will inform you and give you the option of continuing to purchase the Patron Subscription at the correct price or cancelling your Patron Subscription. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided, we will treat the order as cancelled.

Patron Subscription will automatically renew for the same annual Patron Subscription period. Upon renewal, we will charge the current Patron Subscription price using the same card or PayPal payment method that was used previously.
You agree that your Patron Subscription will begin as soon as we send you the email confirming your Patron Subscription.
Patron Subscription cancellation takes effect at the next payment date and there is no refund for unused parts of a Patron Subscription.
