If you do not qualify, you are not permitted to register with the Site nor use the Services and no contract will be formed between you and Econsultancy. Further, Services are not available to temporarily or indefinitely suspended UK Recruiter Members.
4. Formation of contract
   1. In order that a legally binding contract can be formed between UK Recruiter and a Member eligible under clause 3.1, all Users are required to comply with these Terms and conditions and all Users who register are required to accept these Terms and Conditions unconditionally by clicking the ' I have read and agreed to the Terms and Conditions ' checkbox during the registration process.
   2. UK Recruiter in their absolute discretion reserves the right to refuse, suspend or cancel Membership of any Member at any time and without notice.
   3. These Terms and Conditions shall override any previous or contradictory terms or conditions published by UK Recruiter or appearing on the Site.

   5. Each Member warrants to UK Recruiter that it has the full right, power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under these Terms and Conditions and has not entered into any arrangement which in any way conflicts with these Terms and Conditions or inhibits, restricts or impairs its ability to perform its obligations under these Terms and Conditions.
5. Membership
   1. Subject to clause 3a all Users may visit the Site and access certain free Services without the obligation to register as a Member. In order to access other Services it is necessary to register as a Member.
   2. In order to become a Member the relevant User shall complete the registration form. The User represents and warrants that the information given in that registration will be accurate and complete. UK Recruiter will hold that information in accordance with the terms of the Econsultancy Privacy Policy and it may be used to validate the Users registration for Membership.
   3. Membership lasts for a period of 12 months from the date of registration and payment of the relevant Fee. Membership may be cancelled at any time by the Member giving notice to UK Recruiter and subject to clause 6.
   4. A Member may upgrade to a higher Membership Level in one of two ways: either (a) during the first month of any 12 month Membership, by paying a sum equivalent to the difference between the Fees already paid and the amount of Fees that would have been due had the Member registered at the new Membership Level at the start of the Membership period; or (b) alternatively a Member may choose to pay the full amount of Fees charged for the relevant Membership Level and a new period of 12 months will start from the date of payment of that Fee.
   5. Each Member shall be responsible for the management of their Membership within their relevant organisation including the administration of access to the Site and Services. If you choose, or you are provided with, a user identification code, password or any other piece of information as part of UK Recruiters's registration procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any third party. UK Recruiter does not permit the sharing of logins or passwords, and similarly, no group logins and passwords are permitted. We have the right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time.
   6. Each Member is responsible for making all arrangements necessary to access the Site subject always to the prohibition on login and password sharing in clause 5e and is also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access the Site through the Member's internet connection are aware of these Terms and Conditions, and ensure that they comply with them.
   7. Further to clause 5f, each Member is responsible for ensuring that they supply a valid email address, that the UKRecruiter.com email domain is whitelisted and that the email account does not block emails from UK Recruiter accepts no responsibility for the non-receipt of any email communication sent to any User.
   8. Further to clause 5f where a Membership allows for a number of Users to have access, each Member within that Membership will be able to add and remove other Members so it is your responsibility to ensure that the Users who access the Sites via your Membership are responsible in the management and running of your Membership and that they are legitimate Users. You may not add a User who is not an employee of your organisation. Further, each of the Users within your Membership will have access to the Services allocated under your Membership so, for example, one User could use up all the Reports allocation for your Membership. We reiterate that it is your responsibility to manage your Membership within your relevant organisation. UK Recruiter accepts no responsibility for the management of your Membership within your organisation.
6. Services and Fees
   1. The Site and Services shall be made reasonably available to all Users in accordance with any Membership Level subject to these Terms and Conditions and subject to technical errors and downtime associated with the Internet and the Site. You acknowledge and accept that such downtime may prevent access to the Site and Services from time to time and that access to the Site and Services shall not, therefore, be error free or uninterrupted.
   2. The Services are to be provided via the Site which contains a number of areas which may be varied from time to time
   3. Details of the Services are set out on the Site and will be undertaken by UK Recruiter on acceptance by UK Recruiter of your order to purchase each Service and payment in full of the relevant Fees for such Service as set out on the Site. Each separate order for Services shall form and be treated as a separate legal contract between you and UK Recruiter for provision of the relevant Services, subject to these Terms and Conditions.
   4. Fees are usually payable immediately online prior to the activation of membership and access to any Services, however, in the case of any Fees to be invoiced by UK Recruiter such Fees shall be paid by the Member within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of UK Recruiter's invoice. Interest will be charged at the rate of two per cent (2%) above the Bank of England base rate from time to time and calculated monthly on any outstanding amount until payment is received.
7. Cancellation and Fees Refunds Policy
   1. If you are acting as a consumer, under the Distance Selling Regulations 2000, you have a statutory right to cancel any distance contract within 7 days of the date of purchase as long as you have not yet accessed the relevant Services. Accordingly, you may cancel any subscription to purchase Services during the period up until the relevant Services are delivered (which shall for this purpose be defined as access by you to any of the Sites or services provided by UK Recruiter under the relevant Membership in accordance with the relevant Membership Level) or the end of 7 days from the date of purchase, whichever is shorter ("Consumer Cancellation Period"). If you are acting as a consumer and validly cancel any contract for Services within the Consumer Cancellation Period Econsultancy shall refund to you the Fees paid for the relevant Services. If you are acting as a consumer and cancel any contract for Services outside the Consumer Cancellation Period, the Fees paid by you for the relevant Services shall be non-refundable.
   2. If you are not acting as a consumer (i.e. using the Services in the course of your business), the Distance Selling Regulations 2000 shall not apply and UK Recruiter's cancellation policy is as follows: you may cancel any subscription to/purchase of Services during the period up until the relevant Services are delivered (which shall for this purpose be defined as access by you to any of the Sites or services provided by UK Recruiter under the relevant Membership in accordance with the relevant Membership Level) or the end of 3 days from the date of purchase, whichever is shorter ("Business Cancellation Period").

If you are not acting as a consumer and you cancel any contract for Services outside the Business Cancellation Period, the Fees paid by you for the relevant Services shall be non-refundable.
   3. Further to clause 7a and clause 7b as the case may be, no part of any Membership may be carried forward, and no credit will be given for the unused portion of any Membership e.g. no credit will be given if fewer Reports have been accessed than the Member would be entitled to under the relevant Membership Level.
