Fees:

You must pay to us the fees in respect of our website services in advance, in cleared funds, in accordance with any instructions on our website. We may vary fees from time to time by posting new fees on our website, but this will not affect fees for services that have been previously paid.

If you dispute any payment made to us, you must contact us immediately and provide full details of your claim. If you make an unjustified credit card, debit card or other charge-back then you will be liable to pay us, within 7 days following the date of our written request:

• an amount equal to the amount of the charge-back;
• all third party expenses incurred by us in relation to the charge-back (including charges made by our or your bank or payment processor or card issuer);
• an administration fee of GBP 25.00 including VAT; and
• all our reasonable costs, losses and expenses incurred in recovering the amounts referred to in this Section 9.5 (including without limitation legal fees and debt collection fees),

and for the avoidance of doubt, if you fail to recognise or fail to remember the source of an entry on your card statement or other financial statement, and make a charge-back as a result, this will constitute an unjustified charge-back for the purposes of this Section.

If you owe us any amount under or relating to these terms and conditions, we may suspend or withdraw the provision of services to you.

Monthly membership is valid for one month from date of purchase, and operates on a rolling monthly basis. Annual membership for founder members is valid for one year from date of purchase also operating on a rolling annual basis.

For so long as your account and subscription remain active in accordance with these terms and conditions, you will benefit from the features specified on our website in relation to your subscription type.

We may from time to time vary the benefits associated with a subscription by giving you written notice of the variation, providing that you shall have the right to cancel your subscription, and we will refund to you any amounts paid to us in respect of any period of subscription after the date of such cancellation.

At the end of any period of subscription for which you have paid, and subject to the other provisions of these terms and conditions, your subscription will be automatically renewed and you must pay to us the applicable subscription fees, unless you cancel the subscription by emailing team@thestorkandi.com at least a week before your renewal date.

If you are a founder member on an annual membership you can email team@thestorkandi.com to cancel at least 7 days before your annual subscription is due for automatic renewal.  You will continue to be a member until your years subscription has ended at which point it will then be cancelled if you have emailed to say you don’t wish to renew. 

Deleting the Mighty Networks app, leaving the Mighty Networks community or unfollowing the podcast doesn’t cancel your membership. Please make sure to email team@thestorkandi.com to cancel.

The Consumer Contracts Regulations state that your right to cancel an order starts the moment you place your order.
