- Purchase of Goods – this section applies to a User’s purchase of Goods only (not Resources)
- If you are an Individual User, consumer laws give you certain legal rights, for example that the Goods must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and match their description. We must provide you with Goods that comply with your legal rights.
- The images of the Goods on our Site are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the printed pictures accurately reflects the colour of the Goods. Your Goods may vary slightly from those images.
- The packaging of the Goods may vary from that shown in images on our Site.
- Any Goods purchased from our Site are not for onward sale, or for use in connection with any other business reasons other than the Permitted Uses.
- We may change the Goods to reflect changes in applicable laws or regulatory requirements, or to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements.
- We reserve the right to cancel an order for any reason and at any time, and shall notify you of any order cancellation at the earliest convenience. If we cancel an order after you have paid for the Goods we will refund you the full price of the Goods (plus delivery costs) at the earliest convenience.
- You may cancel an order before the Goods are dispatched by us and we shall issue a full refund of the Price but reserve the right to charge you an administration charge to cover costs incurred prior to cancellation. Once the Goods have been dispatched you shall not be entitled to cancel the order or receive a refund for the Goods, except pursuant to clause 6.2 or 15.

- If you are an Individual User, please refer to clause 15 which sets out an additional right you have to change your mind about any Goods you purchase.
- Delivery
- Delivery of the Goods will take place when we deliver them to the address that you gave to us when you placed your order, at which point you are responsible for the Goods. This means that you own the Goods and the risk in the Goods passes to you.
- We use a third-party courier to deliver our Goods.
- We estimate that orders placed for delivery within the UK will be delivered within 7 working days after the day on which we accept your order. Timescales for delivery outside of the UK will vary depending on the availability of the Goods and our courier. Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence for the Contract. We will determine which form of transport to use for overseas delivery (e.g. air, sea) in our sole discretion.
- We shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by an event, circumstance or cause beyond our reasonable control, by material shortages, higher than anticipated demand, import and/or customs delays or your failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.
- We shall use reasonable endeavours to notify you of any delivery delays as soon as possible, and to keep you updated as to the expected delivery date.
- If we cannot deliver your Goods within 30 days of you placing your order, we will let you know, and unless you and we agree otherwise, we will cancel your order and give you a refund.
- You should ensure that someone will be available at your address to take delivery. If our courier finds that there is no-one available, they will leave you a note to let you know that they have attempted to deliver the Goods. Our courier may make further attempts to deliver the Goods to you, however if no-one is available at your address during any such final attempts made by our courier to deliver to your address, the Goods will be returned to us and we will contact you.
- For UK orders please let us know if you have not received your order within 10 working days, and for orders outside the UK please let us know if you have not received your order within 30 working days so that we can investigate the non-delivery.
- You should inspect the Goods when you receive them for defects and damage. Goods delivered by our courier which are clearly damaged must be signed for as such or refused and returned to us. Where the Goods are to be delivered by us to your third party representative in the UK, (e.g. a reseller’s UK base) we will not be responsible for defects or damage caused by their onward delivery of the Goods to you outside of the UK.
- If we have delivered incorrect or faulty Goods, please let us know so that we can discuss this with you and investigate.
- Guarantee of Goods
- We guarantee that on delivery and for a period of 12 months from delivery, the Goods shall be free from material defects. This guarantee does not apply in the circumstances described in clause 6.4 below.
- Subject to clause 6.4, if you give us notice in writing, including sufficient evidence of any defects, within a reasonable time of discovery that some or all of the Goods do not comply with the warranty set out in clause 6.1 we shall, at our option replace the defective Goods, or refund the Price of the defective Goods in full.
- The remedy at clause 6.2 shall be your sole remedy in relation to any breach of the warranty in clause 6.1 and we shall have no further liability to you in respect of the Goods’ failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 6.1
- This guarantee does not apply to any defect in the Goods you buy arising from:
- fair wear and tear;
- wilful damage, abnormal storage (including storage outside), misuse, accident, negligence by you or by any third party;
- any use of the Goods which is inconsistent with its intended use; or
- any attempted alteration or repair of the Goods by you or by a third party.

Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
- The User’s Obligations

- How to purchase Resources and/or Goods on our Site
- The following explains the process you will go through to purchase Goods and/or Resources on our Site, and how the contract between us will be formed:

- Step 2 – If you have chosen to purchase Goods, click ‘Add to Basket’ and/or if you have chosen to purchase Resources, click ‘Subscribe’ and ‘Add to Basket’.
- Step 3 – At the Basket page you will be able to see your proposed purchases and the payments, please check the details of your purchase and select ‘Proceed to Checkout’.
- Step 4 – At the Checkout page you will need to fill out your billing details and (in relation to purchases of Resources by School Users only) select whether you want to pay by invoice, PayPal or card (which can be either a credit card or debit card)
- Step 5 – On the same page, you will see ‘Place Order’ or ‘Subscribe Now’ displayed (depending upon which type of products you are ordering); click on this to place your order.
- Step 6 – If you are paying by card or PayPal, you will be prompted to enter your payment details.
- You may also place an order with us via telephone email or post; you can do this by contacting us by telephone on 01422 433323 by email at resources@whiterosemaths.com or writing to us at the address listed at the start of this Licence.
- Your purchase will only be accepted once we email you to confirm this, at which point, a legally binding contract will come into existence between you and us, and if you have purchased Resources, you will be able to download and/or access those Resources.
- We accept payment by PayPal, credit or debit card and relevant payment details will be stored by our third-party payment provider.
- Licence fees and payment terms
- If you are purchasing Resources:
- In consideration of White Rose Maths granting this Licence to you, you agree to pay the Licence Fee.
- The Licence Fee will be the price indicated on the purchase page of the Site when you choose to purchase the Resources.
- If you are an Individual User, the Licence Fee shall be payable in respect of the full Licence Term duration and is paid as a single payment on the date you purchase the Resources.
- If you are a School User:
- the relevant annual Licence Fee to be paid in full in respect of the initial 12 months, will be paid when you purchase the Resources; and
- If you wish to renew your subscription, you will need to select the renew subscription option on your account, following which we will issue a renewal invoice and you must make the relevant payment of the Renewal Licence Fee in order to continue your subscription.
- If you are purchasing Goods:
- The price of the Goods shall be as set out on our Site at the time we confirm your order. Our prices may change at any time, but price changes will not affect orders that we have confirmed with you.
- The price of the Goods includes VAT at the applicable rate and excludes our administration fee, and the costs and charges of packaging, insurance and transport of the Goods, which shall be detailed at the time we confirm your order and shall also be payable at the same time as the Price.
- The administration fee referred to in clause 10.2.2 will be a fixed amount that will be payable by you to us if we are delivering the Goods to an address outside of the UK. This will cover administration costs incurred by us in organising delivery overseas.
- The Price of the Goods excludes any additional taxes, fees, customs duties, levies or other such charges which apply as a result of local legislation, regulations or customs formalities. You shall be solely responsible for checking, paying and arranging all additional costs payable under this clause 10.2.4.
- The Goods will not be dispatched to you until we have received payment of the price and all other amounts payable to us in respect of the Goods in full and cleared funds.
- We will do all that we reasonably can to ensure that all of the information you give us when paying for the Resources or Goods is secure by using an encrypted secure payment system. However, in the absence of negligence on our part we will not be legally responsible to you for any loss that you may suffer if a third-party gains unauthorised access to any information that you give us.
- If any payment or Licence Fee due to us is not received by us but you have already received the Goods or access to the Resources to which that payment relates, you must:
- pay for such Goods or pay the relevant Licence Fee within 30 days; or
- (in respect of Goods only) return them to us as soon as possible. If doing so you must keep the Goods in your possession, take reasonable care of them, and not use them before you return them to us.
- Nothing in this clause affects your legal rights to cancel the contract between us during the ‘cooling off’ period under clause 15.
- Term and termination of Resources subscription
- If you are entering into this Licence as a School User, the Licence shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall continue for an initial term of 12 months. Thereafter it may be renewed on an annual basis for subsequent renewal terms of 12 months each, subject to the payment by you of the relevant Renewal Licence Fee in accordance with clause 10.1.4.2. If you do not pay the Renewal Licence Fee, the Licence shall cease at the end of the current 12 month period in respect of which you have paid us the relevant initial Licence Fee or Renewal Licence Fee (as the case may be).
- If you are entering into this Licence as an Individual User, the Licence shall continue for a period of 12 months from the Commencement Date. This means that you are entitled to access and/or download (as applicable) those Resources which you have purchased, at any time during that 12 month period and may also benefit from the rights described in clause 11.3 during that 12 month period.
- This clause 11.3 only applies where you enter into this Licence as an Individual User. Where the 12 month Licence Term covers a period of time which falls across two academic year groups (each one being a Year Group), you may, during the Licence Term, request access to resources which are equivalent to those which you have already purchased in accordance this Licence, but which are applicable to the next Year Group, at no additional cost. You can do this by contacting us in writing, confirming the name of the Resource which you have a current Licence for and the relevant Year Group which that Resource applies to. We will verify that information on our records and provided that the details you have provided match our records, we will accept your request and provide you with access to the equivalent resource for the next Year Group. Any equivalent resource which we provide is:
- strictly only for the next Year Group and for no other Year Group;
- as we may make available at the time of our accepting your request but we provide no guarantee that such equivalent resource will be available;
- made available for access and/or download (as applicable) for the remainder of the current Licence Term only and nothing will entitle you to access resources for any additional period of time; and
- subject to the terms of this Licence and all provisions which apply to the use of “Resources” will apply equally to your use of those equivalent resources which we may make available.
- We may terminate the Licence at any time by giving notice in writing to you if you (i) commit a material breach of these Terms and such breach is not remediable, (ii) commit a material breach of these Terms which is not remedied within 14 days of receiving written notice of such breach, or (iii) fail to pay an amount due under this Licence on the due date and such amount remains unpaid within 30 days after we have notified you that the payment is overdue.
- Termination of the Licence shall not affect any accrued rights and liabilities of either party at any time up to the date of termination.
- Renewal of Resources Subscription
- The following steps explain how you carry out the “Renewal Steps” to indicate your intention to renew this Licence. These steps are only relevant to School Users but will not apply to Individual Users. That is because Individual Users do not have a subscription-based Licence with a renewal option but instead, pay the Licence Fee as a one-time payment. However, this does not affect the rights of Individual Users set out in clause 15 or elsewhere in these Terms
Step1 – Log into ‘My Account’ from our Site
Step 2 – Select ‘Subscriptions’
Step 3 – Select the option to renew and make a payment of the Renewal Licence Fee in order to continue your subscription for the next twelve months.
Note that we will not take payments automatically. Therefore, if you do not make the payment of the Renewal Licence Fee, your subscription will end, even if you have told us in advance that you wish to renew.
- The option to renew your subscription and pay a Renewal Licence Fee will appear on your account 60 days before your current subscription is due to terminate.
- You may cancel your subscription by contacting us by telephone on 01422 433323 or by email at resources@whiterosemaths.com. Please note that cancelling your subscription (other than as an individual user under clause 15) will not entitle you to a refund on the Licence Fee.
- Our liability to our Users – YOUR ATTENTION IS PARTICULARLY DRAWN TO THIS CLAUSE
- Nothing in this Licence will exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or liability which we are responsible for in relation to consumer protection rights, or for any other matters which it would be illegal for us to exclude.
- We will not be responsible for any losses that were not foreseeable to you or us when the contract was formed, or that were not caused by any breach on our part.
- We have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of anticipated profit, loss of goodwill, loss of reputation or loss of data.
- Subject to clause 13.1, if you are a School User our total liability to you under or in connection with this Licence, shall not exceed the sum of £1,000.

- To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this Licence by a clear statement (e.g. you can send us a letter in the post or email us).

Neither party shall have authority to act as agent for, or to bind, the other party in any way.
- If any provision of these Terms (or part of any provision) is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of any other provision of these Terms shall not be affected.
- A waiver of any right or remedy under these Terms or at law is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under these Terms or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
- This Licence is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
