We are The Diet and Lifestyle Project Limited being a company incorporated in England and Wales with Company number 16183913 and registered office address: 31 Modena Road, Hove, East Sussex, United Kingdom, BN3 5QF (‘we’, ‘our’ or ‘us’) and we provide a health and lifestyle platform www.thedietandlifestyleproject.com (Platform).

 

These terms and conditions (Terms) govern your access to the Platform and us providing you any other goods and services as set out in these Terms (Subscription). You can view the most updated version of our Terms at www.thedietandlifestyleproject.com/platformterms (Website). Please read these terms and conditions carefully before agreeing to proceed with your Subscription.


Your Subscription is for the tiered package as selected by you and agreed between us by means of the
Website (Subscription Tier).

 

Please note that your Subscription will continue to renew indefinitely, and you will continue to incur Subscription Fees, unless you notify us that you want to cancel your Subscription in accordance with clause 16. Please ensure you contact us if you want to cancel your Subscription.


YOUR KEY INFORMATION
The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that up to 14 days after purchasing services, in most cases, you can cancel within 14 days. If you agree the services will start within this time, you may be charged for what you’ve used. Our Platform contains content which falls under the Digital Download category and therefore you will be given the option when you sign up for the Platform to either:
– wait 14 days to access the Platform; or
– waive the 14-day right to cancel and access the Platform immediately.

 

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says:
• You can ask us to repeat or fix a service if it’s not carried out with reasonable care and skill, or get some money back if we can’t fix it;
• If a price hasn’t been agreed upfront, what you’re asked to pay must be reasonable;
• If a time hasn’t been agreed upfront, it must be carried out within a reasonable time.
