  3. REGISTRATION FOR THE AURACALL SERVICE
    1. Please note that you need to register to become a User to use the Auracall Service and the Website.
    2. Please note that to use the Website you must be 18 years of age or over and resident in the United Kingdom. You must also have no more than one Account.
    3. If you register for the Auracall Service, and we accept your registration, you become a User.
    4. To register for the Auracall Service you need to supply us with your name, gender, date of birth, address, email address, telephone number, username (which you may need to replace if your desired one is unavailable), password and such other contact details as we require. You will also be given the opportunity to register other information (for example, Payment Information). You must use your own details and not impersonate another person or adopt a false identity.
    5. You must not choose a password that can be readily guessed. If you think that you may have allowed a third party to see or use your password other than with your permission, you must inform us immediately and we will suspend use of the Auracall Service under that password (but in any event you shall be responsible for any use under that password until we do so). You agree to regularly change your password and in any event when we require.
    6. All Accounts (and all email addresses supplied to receive information emails) must be registered with a valid personal email address that you access regularly, so that, among other things, administration emails can be sent to you. Any Accounts (or email addresses supplied to receive information emails) which have been registered with someone else's email address, or with temporary email addresses may be closed without notice. We may require Users to re-validate their Accounts (or email addresses supplied to receive information emails) if we believe they have been using an invalid email address.
    7. We reserve the right to close Accounts (and shut down receipt of information emails) if any User is seen to be using proxy IPs (Internet Protocol addresses) in order to attempt to hide the use of multiple Accounts, or if a non-UK User pretends to be a UK User, or disrupts the Website or the Auracall Service in any way.
    8. You must keep your password strictly confidential and secure and immediately notify us if any unauthorised third party becomes aware of that password or if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your email address or password or there is any breach of security known to or suspected by you. You agree that any person to whom your username or password is disclosed is authorised to act as your agent for the purposes of using (and/or transacting via) the Auracall Service and Website. Please note that you are entirely responsible if you do not maintain the confidentiality of your password. You are also entirely responsible for bringing this User Agreement to the attention of all persons who may access the Auracall Service through your password or your Internet connection.
    9. Once you have submitted your registration details to us:
      1. we may send you an email acknowledging the submission of your registration details; and
      2. we will email you with acceptance or non-acceptance of your registration.
      Unless our email expressly states that your registration has been accepted, our email shall be a mere acknowledgement. Should our email state that your registration has been accepted, you must follow the instructions in that email in order to be able to use the Auracall Service. Until you have complied with the instructions in that email, you will be unable to use the Auracall Service generally. The Auracall Service will start as soon as you have complied with the instructions in the acceptance email. Until that point, the Auracall Service will not have started and completion of your registration and profile information will be in preparation for commencement of your use of the Auracall Service.
    10. We reserve the right to prevent you using the Website or the Auracall Service (or any part of them) and we reserve the right to decline a new registration, and we or you may also terminate your registration at any time by terminating this User Agreement in accordance with Clause 8.5.
    11. When you register to be a User and we accept your registration (and for as long as you are a User) you may register for an Account, in which case you must pay for the Fees relevant for the Account for the relevant period in advance where required. The Fees for, and the details of, any such Account, are as described on the Website from time to time.
    12. If you register for an Account, your subscription for the Account will last for the period for which you have paid in advance, and will then automatically renew for the same length of time on the expiry of that period, unless you inform us by amending the section before renewal is due to take place. This claim will be taken to court as an express authority to renew unless you tell us otherwise.
    13. If we decide to increase fees then this will not apply until the expiry of the current period, if any, for which you have already paid in advance. We shall give you at least 30 days notice prior to any increase coming into force and you may give notice anytime during that period to cease using any of our Products or Services at the end of the notice period. This will be without penalty or indeed any charge being made in respect of the termination and we shall refund to your Account on a pro-rata basis (accordingly to the number of unused full months outstanding) any advanced payment. We shall make the repayment using the Payment Information previously provided to us.
    14. The level of functionality for your Account shall be as described in the Website from time to time and may change, but for any period for which you have paid in advance it shall be no less than at the beginning of that period.

Subject to Clause 7.6, we may identify you as a User and the type of services provided by us to you (or the type of Services that you provide if you are a Service Provider), provided that in doing so we shall not (without your prior written consent) reveal any of your Confidential Information.

  8. TERM, SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION
    1. This User Agreement shall commence on the date on which you agree to this User Agreement when submitting your details to become a User. The Auracall Service will commence as soon as you have been accepted as a User and followed the instructions in the first acceptance email that we send to you as a User to continue with registering for the Auracall Service, and further elements of the Auracall Service will commence as soon as you have authorised us to collect payment for any Fee from your card or bank account. Accordingly, you will not have a cooling off period under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (or any other similar law) in which to cancel this User Agreement (or any aspect under it) and ask for a refund of any Fees paid, once you have followed the instructions on the initial email that we send to you as the Auracall Service will start at that point.
    2. Each of you and we shall be entitled immediately or at any time (in whole or in part), without Liability to the other, to: i) suspend the Auracall Service and/or Website (in whole or in part); ii) suspend your use of the Auracall Service and/or Website (in whole or in part); iii) suspend the use of the Auracall Service and/or Website (in whole or in part) for persons we believe to be connected (in whatever manner) to you or another suspended or terminated or banned User (including who may have the same or similar email address or Internet protocol address to you or them); and/or iv) terminate this User Agreement immediately; if:
      1. the other commits any material breach of these Terms and Conditions;
      2. you or we suspect, on reasonable grounds, that the other has, might or will commit a material breach of these Terms and Conditions; or
      3. you or we suspect, on reasonable grounds, that the other may have committed or be committing any fraud against the other or against any other person.
    3. If we suspend or terminate your use of the Auracall Service and/or Website (in whole or in part) under Clause 8.2, you shall not attempt to use or access the Auracall Service and/or the Website directly or indirectly under any other name or User.
    4. If we suspend the Auracall Service or Website (in whole or in part), we may refuse to restore the Auracall Service or Website until we receive an assurance from you, in a form we deem acceptable that there will be no further breach of the provisions of this User Agreement.
    5. Either you or we may terminate this User Agreement immediately by notice to the other without cause. If we terminate this User Agreement under this Clause 8.5, then provided you have not been in any breach of this User Agreement we will return any Fees paid by you to us on a pro rata basis (according to the number of unused full months outstanding). In all other cases (except to the extent that we have been in material breach of this User Agreement or that we have provided for elsewhere in this User Agreement), any other Fees paid by you shall be non-refundable.
    6. Each of your and our rights to terminate this User Agreement shall not prejudice any other right or remedy you or we may have in respect of any breach or any rights, obligations or liabilities accrued prior to termination.

  9. INDEMNITY
    1. You shall fully and promptly indemnify and keep indemnified us against all liabilities, losses, damages, injuries, costs, expenses, fines, demands, claims and proceedings suffered or incurred by us arising (directly or indirectly) out of:
      1. any claims or legal proceedings arising from your use of the Auracall Service or Website or use of the Auracall Service or Website through your password, which are brought or threatened against us by any person; or
      2. any breach of this User Agreement by you; or
      3. any liability owed by you to another User.

  10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
    1. This Clause 10 prevails over all other Clauses and sets forth our entire Liability, and your sole and exclusive remedies, in respect of:
      1. the performance, non-performance, purported performance or delay in performance of this User Agreement or the Auracall Service or Website (or any part of it or them); or
      2. otherwise in relation to this User Agreement or the entering into or performance of this User Agreement.
    2. Nothing in this User Agreement shall exclude or limit our Liability for (i) the tort of deceit; (ii) death or personal injury caused by our Breach of Duty; (iii) any breach of the obligations implied by s.12 Sale of Goods Act 1979 or s.2 Supply of Goods and Auracall Services Act 1982; or (iv) any other Liability which cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law.
    3. In performing any obligation under this User Agreement, our only duty is to exercise reasonable care and skill.
    4. We do not warrant and we exclude all Liability in respect of the accuracy, completeness, fitness for purpose or legality of any information accessed using the Auracall Service or Website; and we exclude all Liability of any kind for the transmission or the reception of or the failure to transmit or to receive any material of whatever nature. You should not rely on any information accessed using the Auracall Service or the Website to make a purchasing decision – you should make your own enquiries before forming your own opinion and taking any action based on any such information.

    6. Save as provided in Clause 10.2 but subject to Clauses 10.5 and 10.8, our Liability for loss of or damage to your (or another person’s) tangible property caused by us, our employees, subcontractors or agents acting within the course of their employment during the performance of this User Agreement, shall not exceed £10. Neither corruption of data nor loss of data shall constitute physical damage to property for the purposes of this Clause 10.6.
    7. Save as provided in Clauses 10.2 and 10.5, we do not accept and hereby exclude any Liability for Breach of Duty other than any such Liability arising pursuant to the terms of this User Agreement.
    8. Save as provided in Clause 10.2, we shall have no Liability for:
      1. loss of revenue;
      2. loss of actual or anticipated profits;

      10. loss of reputation;
      11. loss of, damage to or corruption of data; or
      12. any indirect or consequential loss;
      and such Liability is excluded whether it is foreseeable, known, foreseen or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, Clauses 10.8.1 to 10.8.10 apply whether such losses are direct, indirect, consequential or otherwise.
    9. Save as provided in Clause 10.2, our total Liability to you or any third party shall in no circumstances exceed, in aggregate, a sum equal to the greater of: a) £100; or b) 200% of any aggregate amount paid by you to us in the 12 months preceding any cause of action arising.
    10. The limitation of Liability under Clause 10.9 has effect in relation both to any Liability expressly provided for under this User Agreement and to any Liability arising by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of any term of this User Agreement.
    11. In this Clause 10:
      1. “Liability” means liability in or for breach of contract, Breach of Duty, misrepresentation, restitution or any other cause of action whatsoever relating to or arising under or in connection with this User Agreement, including, without limitation, liability expressly provided for under this User Agreement or arising by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of any term of this User Agreement (and for the purposes of this definition, all references to “this User Agreement” shall be deemed to include any collateral contract); and
      2. “Breach of Duty” means the breach of any (i) obligation arising from the express or implied terms of a contract to take reasonable care or exercise reasonable skill in the performance of the contract or (ii) common law duty to take reasonable care or exercise reasonable skill (but not any stricter duty).

    2. You must have the express consent of any third party (including any relatives or friends) in order for you to disclose or post details about that other third party to us or to the Website and you will be responsible for ensuring that such third party has agreed to this User Agreement before you send any data about them to us or the Website.
    3. We may amend or remove data relating to any living individual if they ask us to do so, even if that person is apparently represented by you.

  12. GENERAL
    1. No partnership/agency: Nothing in this User Agreement shall be construed to create a joint venture, partnership or agency relationship between you and us and neither party shall have the right or authority to incur any liability debt or cost or enter into any contracts or other arrangements in the name of or on behalf of the other.
    2. No other terms: Except as expressly stated in this User Agreement, all warranties, conditions and other terms, whether express or implied, by statute, common law or otherwise are hereby excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
    3. Assignment: You shall not assign or delegate or otherwise deal with all or any of your rights or obligations under this User Agreement without our prior written consent (which consent we may grant or withhold in our absolute discretion).
    4. Force majeure:
      1. Neither party shall have any Liability for any breach, hindrance or delay in performance of its obligations under this User Agreement which is caused by an Event of Force Majeure, regardless of whether the circumstances in question could have been foreseen. An "Event of Force Majeure" means any cause outside of the party's reasonable control, including act of God, actions or omissions of third parties (including hackers, suppliers, couriers, governments, quasi-governmental, supra-national or local authorities), insurrection, riot, civil war, civil commotion, war, hostilities, threat of war, warlike operations, armed conflict, imposition of sanctions, embargo, breaking off of diplomatic relations or similar actions, national emergencies, terrorism, nuclear, chemical or biological contamination or sonic boom, piracy, arrests, restraints or detainments of any competent authority, blockade, strikes or combinations or lock-out of workmen, epidemic, fire, explosion, storm, flood, drought, adverse weather conditions, loss at sea, earthquake, natural disaster, accident, collapse of building structures, failure of plant machinery or machinery or third party computers or third party hardware or vehicles, failure or problems with public utility supplies (including general: electrical, telecoms, water, gas, postal, courier, communications or Internet disruption or failure), shortage of or delay in or inability to obtain supplies, stocks, storage, materials, equipment or transportation. Each Party agrees to inform the other upon becoming aware of an Event of Force Majeure, such notice to contain details of the circumstances giving rise to the Event of Force Majeure.
      2. The performance of each party's obligations shall be suspended during the period that the circumstances persist and such party shall be granted an extension of time for performance equal to the period of the delay.
      3. Each party shall bear its own costs incurred by the Event of Force Majeure.
      4. If performance of any obligations are delayed under this Clause 12, each party shall nevertheless accept performance as and when the other shall be able to perform.
      5. If the Event of Force Majeure continues without a break for more than three months, either party may terminate this User Agreement immediately by notice to the other, in which event neither party shall be liable to the other party by reason of such termination.
    5. Entire Agreement: This User Agreement (and our Privacy Policy and any other document referred to in this User Agreement and any other terms and conditions specifically agreed between you and us in writing) contains all the terms agreed between the parties regarding its subject matter and supersedes and excludes any prior User Agreement, understanding or arrangement between the parties, whether oral or in writing. No representation, undertaking or promise shall be taken to have been given or be implied from anything said or written in negotiations between the parties prior to this User Agreement except as expressly stated in this User Agreement. Neither party shall have any remedy in respect of any untrue statement made by the other upon which that party relied in entering into this User Agreement (unless such untrue statement was made fraudulently or was as to a matter fundamental to a party’s ability to perform this User Agreement) and that party’s only remedies shall be for breach of contract as provided in this User Agreement. However, the Auracall Service is provided to you under our operating rules, policies, and procedures as published from time to time on the Website.
    6. No waiver: Unless a party expressly states in writing that it is waiving a particular power, right or remedy in a particular stated instance, no failure or delay or omission by either party in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement or at law shall operate as a waiver of such power, right or remedy; and no waiver in any particular instance shall extend to or affect any other or subsequent event or impair any powers, rights or remedies in respect of it or in any way modify or diminish that party's other powers, rights or remedies under this User Agreement or at law.
    7. Severability: If any provision of this User Agreement is held to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed and where capable the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this User Agreement shall not be affected.
    8. Notices: Unless otherwise stated within this User Agreement, notices to be given to either party shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or prepaid overnight courier mail or by fax or by email, which shall be sent to you at the contact details supplied to us or the Website or to us at the contact details as specified on the Website. Notices shall be deemed received one full Business Day after the time of despatch.
    9. No third party rights: Unless expressly provided in this User Agreement, no term of this User Agreement is enforceable pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by any person who is not a party to it.
    10. Survival: The provisions of Clauses 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, and the disclaimers in this User Agreement relating to use of the Auracall Service or to third parties, together with those provisions that either are expressed to survive its expiry or termination or from their nature or context it is contemplated that they are to survive such termination, shall survive termination of this User Agreement.
    11. Governing law: This User Agreement (and any non-contractual right or obligation arising out of or in relation to it) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law and the User hereby submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts. The parties irrevocably agree that the English courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim or matter brought by the User in relation to this Agreement. Nothing in this Clause 12.11 shall limit our right to take proceedings against the User in any other court of competent jurisdiction. All dealings, correspondence and contacts between the parties shall be made or conducted in the English language.
    12. It is your resposibility to ensure compatibility of the service with any monitored alarm systems and you should check this with your alarm system provider.
