TERMS AND CONDITIONS
No Commitment Guarantee
If you are a new subscriber to any Socrates service you may cancel your subscription within seven days, so long as you confirm in writing that you have viewed the materials solely for the purpose of judging their suitability, and in particular have not used them to train staff, and will not claim CPD credit, and will return any printed materials we have sent you, without making copies.
Scale of Charges
Our fees vary according to the number of employees or partners in your firm. For LLPs and companies, "partners" means members. In the case of a discrepancy from the information you provide, we reserve the right to charge you based upon information about your organisation given in your website, or obtained from other normally reliable sources.
Note that where we base our charges on the number of partners, the number used will be the higher of (1) the actual number of partners, or (2) one third of the number of fee earning staff (including paralegals and trainees) in your organisation, rounded down to the nearest whole number. So for example a sole practitioner with ten other fee earning staff will pay the same as a three partner firm.
Duration of Subscription, and Renewal
Your subscription lasts for one year. We will alert you when it is due for renewal. If you do wish to terminate your subscription you should then tell us so in writing (e.g. email). Failing that we will send you an invoice for the next year’s subscription. You will have a further ten days from that invoice to tell us that you wish to terminate your subscription. If you do not do so your subscription will be continue for the next year, on the same terms, and you will be liable to pay the invoice.
Our IP Rights
Our materials are copyright and may only be used by partners, directors and employees of your organisation. You agree to use your best endeavours to prevent any breach of our intellectual property rights, and to assist us in taking action against anyone responsible for such breach. You will inform us of such breaches of which you become aware.
In the case of breach we may notify any appropriate professional body, and the police, and bring legal proceedings against those responsible. Action which may cause us to do that would include providing your login details and password to people outside your firm or otherwise allowing anyone outside your firm to see copies of our materials. We monitor the IP address of computers accessing our on-line materials and will notify you of any suspicious usage.
Communication
We will normally communicate with you by email. You agree to notify us of any change to the email address we should use, and to ensure that messages from @socrates-training.co.uk are not blocked by your spam filter. If any communication we send to you does not get through as a result of such failure, it will be deemed to have been received by you.

We may from time to time answer questions from subscribers. That is done on a voluntary basis and neither Socrates Training Limited nor the individuals involved accept any liability for the consequences of reliance.
