Summary of some of your key rights:

If you are an individual acting for purposes that are wholly or mainly outside that of your trade, business, craft or profession, you will be considered a consumer. The information in this summary box summarises some of your key rights if you are a consumer. It is not intended to replace the contract below, which you should read carefully. The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that you have a 14 day right to change their mind and get a full refund on digital content.
