8. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE AGREEMENT
8.1 You can always end the Agreement. Your rights when you end the Agreement will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the Agreement:
8.1.1 If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the Agreement (or to get the Product repaired or replaced or a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see Clause 11.

8.1.4 In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see Clause 8.7.
8.2 Ending the Agreement because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending the Agreement for a reason set out at Clauses 8.2.1 to 8.2.5 below the Agreement will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation.

8.6 Ending the Agreement where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind.

These terms and conditions govern the relationship between us and the customer (‘you’, ‘your’) in respect of your subscriptions, in addition to our usual Terms and Conditions, Privacy Notice and any other legal terms on our website. By placing an order that includes a subscription, you are agreeing to these terms.
Setting up Your Subscription
Subscriptions are available on products where the ‘subscribe and save’ toggle is present on the product page. You can set up the recurring order there, selecting how often you would like to receive it (1 month to 3 months). You can amend and review these settings within the basket page.
If you set up multiple subscriptions on the same day, at the same frequency, we may group these into one delivery. If the orders have different delivery options, the cheapest delivery option selected will automatically be applied to the grouped order.
Your subscription will continue until cancelled in the manner set out below.
Each subscription profile is a separate contract by law. The contract is concluded when your order is dispatched and you are sent confirmation of dispatch.
Subscriptions are available to UK residents only.
Price of the Products
For your first order, the price of the products will be the price displayed on www.scienceinsport.com at the time you place the order.
For subsequent recurring deliveries, the price is set from when the subscription starts. The day payment is taken is highlighted as the ‘next billing date’ in your subscription profile and upcoming subscription email sent 3 days before.

Order Process
After your first order, the recurring order will be automatically placed at your selected interval, using the same payment method used to set up the recurring order.
If loyalty points are used to cover the full price of the first order, the subscription profile will not be set up as we will not be able to save your payment details. Your subscription will therefore fail.
If you use buy now pay later to create your first order, the subscription profile will not be set up as we will not be able to save your payment details. Your subscription will therefore fail.
You will be sent a Reminder Email 3 days before payment is taken to confirm that the order is being placed at which stage you will have the following options:
· Do nothing and receive your order as specified in the email;
· Edit quantity of ordered products;
· Skip your subscription;
· Pause your subscription or
· Cancel your subscription altogether.
These actions can be performed up to 2 days after your Subscription Reminder Email within your customer account area.
Your payment will be taken 3 days after your Subscription Reminder Email, and dispatch usually occurs 1-3 days after payment (depending on the delivery option selected on your first order).
If you card is nearing expiry, expired, or otherwise fails to process, the order will fail to go through and you will receive a ‘subscription failed’ email. Similarly, if your order fails for any other reason (for example the product is out of stock or your address is not recognised), you will receive the same email and our customer service team will attempt to contact you.
Subscription orders may be returned in accordance with our usual returns policy.
Cancellation or Changes
You can make changes to your subscription as per the bullet points above at any time in your customer account online.
You can cancel your subscription with us at any time via your account (except 1 day before your subscription reoccurs) or by contacting our customer service team here. Please be aware, it may not be possible to cancel your recurring order once payment has been taken.
