As well as suspending the Online Content and Courses we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 14.6). 

8. Your rights to end the contract

8.1 You can always end your contract with us.  Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought (where applicable), whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing, when you decide to end the contract and whether you are a consumer or business customer:
(a) If what you have bought or been provided with is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract see clause 12 if you are a consumer and clause 13 if you are a business;
(b) If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;
(c) If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the Online Content and Courses. You may be able to get a refund (where applicable) if you are within the cooling-off period.
8.2 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full (where applicable) for any Online Content and Courses which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
(a) we have told you about an upcoming change to the Online Content and Courses or these terms which you do not agree to (see clause 5.2);
(b) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the Online Content and Courses you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
(c) there is a risk that supply of the Online Content and Courses may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
(d) we have suspended supply of the Online Content and Courses for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than one month; or
(e) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
8.3 When consumers do not have a right to change their minds.  Your right as a consumer to change your mind does not apply in respect of:
(a) digital products after you have started to download or stream these; or
(b) courses, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running.
8.4 How long do consumers have to change their minds? If you are a consumer how long you have to change your mind depends on what you have bought and how it is delivered.
(a) Have you bought courses? If so, you have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your order. However, once you have completed any course you cannot change your mind, even if the period is still running. If you cancel after we have started providing any courses, you must pay us for such courses provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind.
(b) Have you bought digital content for download or streaming (for example,? if so, you have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your order, or, if earlier, until you start downloading or streaming.  If we delivered the digital content to you immediately, and you agreed to this when ordering, you will not have a right to change your mind.
8.5 Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind (see clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation (where applicable). A contract for digital content is completed when the digital content is delivered, downloaded or streamed and paid for. A contract for courses is completed when we have finished providing the courses and you have paid for them. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for Online Content and Courses not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.
