LEGAL NOTICE: If your pet is registered with us and you wish to end your Paid Plan with us, then it is your legal duty to either make sure that your pet remains registered with us using our basic registration service OR is registered with another microchip database from the end of your subscription plan or basic registration with us. It is also your responsibility to keep your registered contact information on your account (and card billing information for renewal purposes) accurate and up to date at all times. You acknowledge that Identibase may be unable to provide you with all or some of our Pet Services if you do not do so.

8.1 All payments processed on our website, subscriptions and relevant products, are handled securely by our third-party payment processors.
8.2 By initiating payments for our Pet Services, you authorise us and our third-party payment processors to charge the applicable subscription fees to your designated payment method.

8.5 You also agree that we and/or our third-party payment processors may store and use your payment method information in order to complete each auto-renewal of your subscription.
9.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
9.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Pet Services.
9.3 We are not responsible for delays or disruptions affecting any Pet Services which are outside of our control. If they are affected by an event outside of our control, then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the event. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event.

11.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between You and Us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
11.4 If a court finds part of this contract 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.
11.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, 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 contract, 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 the Pet Services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
11.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a consumer. These terms are governed by English law, and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the relevant Pet Services in the English courts.
