4. OUR AGREEMENT WITH YOU

4.1 How the Agreement between both of us will be formed.

4.1.1 Subscription: If you wish to purchase a subscription to use shizl, you will need to register as a shizl Subscriber.  To do this, you will choose the Subscription ‘tier’ you wish to purchase, and provide us with payment details for your Subscription.  We will confirm successful purchase of your Subscription by issuing the Confirmation Email to you. The Confirmation Email will contain a summary of the commercial terms and other important information specific to your Subscription. Please keep a copy of this Confirmation Email.  The date we send your Confirmation Email is the date your Subscription commences, unless we tell you otherwise (for example, if you are accessing shizl for a trial period). In this case we will tell you in the Confirmation Email when your Subscription will begin.

4.1.2 On demand: If you wish to purchase documents as you need them, rather than subscribe to shizl, you can do so using our ‘on demand’ option.  ‘On demand’ enables you to purchase credits from shizl, which you can use to acquire the documents you need from shizl. To do this, choose our ‘on demand’ option and complete your registration and payment details.  We will confirm your purchase via email, together with details of the number of credits you have purchased.

4.2 Your Subscription. If you sign up to become a Subscriber, you can choose which type of Subscription you wish to take.  There are three Subscription packages to choose from. You can decide which Subscription package is most suitable for you.  The Subscription package you choose will determine the Fees payable for your Subscription.

4.3 Document Storage. When you sign up to create a shizl account, whether as a Subscriber or as an ‘on demand’ user, you will have the ability to store the documents you create through shizl in your shizl account.  You can also upload and store (in PDF format only) other contracts and documents you already have in place (not created using shizl) in your shizl account, subject to certain limitations:

4.3.1 Subscription: The number of documents you can store in your shizl account will be dependent on the Subscription ‘tier’ you choose to purchase.  You will be notified of the document storage capacity in each Subscription ‘tier’ prior to choosing which Subscription ‘tier’ you wish to purchase. The Subscription tier you purchase will be detailed in your Confirmation Email. If you wish, you can purchase additional storage for more documents through shizl. We will store your documents for as long as your Subscription with shizl remains active, and by this we mean you continue to pay your subscription Fees to use shizl.

4.3.2 On demand: When you create your first ‘on demand’ shizl document, you will be allocated storage for 25 documents in your shizl account. This storage can be used to save the documents you create using shizl AND to upload (in PDF format only) other contracts and documents NOT created using shizl, into your shizl account.  Each time you create a document using shizl ‘on demand’ you will be able to store that document in your shizl account, in addition to the initial 25 document storage limit. You can also, if you wish, purchase additional storage for more documents through shizl.  We will keep those documents stored in your shizl account for twelve months from the date you were last active on shizl.  This means the date you: (1) last created a document using shizl; or (2) last uploaded a document into your shizl account.  If you remain inactive on shizl for twelve months or longer, we will delete your account and any documents stored in your account will also be deleted. If you wish to keep your documents stored on shizl for a long period, it is important you remain an active shizl user, and it is your responsibility to do this.  We accept no responsibility for or liability for deleting any documents stored on your shizl account due to your inactivity.

19.4 If a court finds part of this Agreement is illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

19.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this Agreement, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this Agreement, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you, but we continue to provide your Subscription, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

19.6 Changes to this Agreement. We may make changes to these Conditions and/or (where applicable) the terms of your Subscription from time to time.  Such changes will take effect to your Agreement if and when you renew your Subscription following the end of your Initial Subscription Period or when you next purchase credits and/or documents from shizl (where you use shizl ‘on demand’).

19.7 Which laws apply to this Agreement. Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with a contract between us or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim.
