An ‘Annual Subscription’ is one that runs from January to December of any particular calendar year. Therefore if you purchase an annual subscription product at any point during the year your subscription will run from the date of purchase until the 31^st of December of that year.

All the releases that may have been published before the date of your purchase will already be included in the main work at the time of purchase. You will continue to receive any further updates that are published between the date of purchase and the 31^st of December of that year.

For example, if you purchase an annual subscription product on 04/07/2008 then your subscription will run from 04/07/2008 until 31/12/2008. Any releases that may have been published between 01/01/2008 and 04/07/2008 will already be included in the main work when you purchased it on 04/07/08. You will also continue to then receive any releases that get published after 04/07/2008 up until 31/12/2008.

An ATS subscription is one that runs for a year from the date of purchase.

For example, if you purchase an ATS subscription on 01/09/2008 then it will run from 01/09/2008 until 31/08/2009.

A 'Charge By Release' subscription is one where upon purchase of the main work you will be registered to receive all future updates on a 'Charge By Release' basis. I.e. you will be charged for each individual release as when you are sent them. Each release will be followed by an invoice charging you for it. Therefore, there is no annual fee to be paid for CBR subscriptions. Such subscriptions will continue to run on your account until a request has been received to terminate the service.

At the point of purchase of the main work it will be up to date to include all the releases. If any releases are then due out within 60 days of when the main work was purchased then such releases will be sent out without charge.

Yes – you may cancel your subscription at anytime in the year but we will not be able to offer you a refund.

If you purchase an 'Annual Subscription' anytime during the year before October then you will be required to renew it at the end of the year in order to keep the subscription active for the following year.

However, if you purchase an 'Annual Subscription' after the 1^st of October then your subscription will run until the 31^st of December of the following year. Please note that this is only applicable to all legal looseleaf and CD 'Annual Subscription' products and you will be charged the following years main work price.

For example, if you were to purchase a legal annual subscription product on 05/10/2008 then your subscription period will run from 05/10/2008 to 31/12/2009. You will not be required to renew your subscription until 31/12/2009.

When your subscription is within 3 months of the end date we send out letters reminding you of this and asking you if you would like to renew your subscription for the following year. This document is called a renewal notice. It is not an invoice or a request for payment. It is simply a reminder which requires you to confirm if you would like to carry on with the subscription.
