Terms and Conditions

These are the general terms and conditions ("Terms") governing your access and use of the content and services offered to you on this internet site ("Site") (whether accessed by you on the web, by WAP or on a PDA) (collectively, the "Service" or "Services"). This Site and the Services are operated by Flexphone Limited (hereinafter referred to as "we", "us", "our" or "Flexphone"). Any reference to "you" and "yours" refers to you, the user of the Service.

Please read these terms carefully
The Service is based in the UK, aimed at UK residents and intended for access and use by UK residents only. The use of some of the Services may be restricted to certain customers or customer groups (for example, customers subscribed to the Flexphone network). Your access and use of the Service and any information and services provided by us as part of or via the Service is subject to these Terms (which include any directions and guidelines given by us on the Service from time to time) without modification by you. We may change these Terms from time to time, provided such changes are reasonable and where possible, we will provide advance notice of major changes to the Service and any changes to the Terms and Conditions on Flexphone.co.uk. By accessing the Service (with or without registering for the Service) you accept that you are bound by the current Terms on the Service at the time of your access. You should therefore check these Terms each time you use any of the Services.

Your contract with us
Your contract with us shall begin upon the earlier of you:
  • completing our registration process and confirming that you have read and accepted these Terms; or
  • viewing, accessing or using any Service offered by us which does not require registration.
We suggest that you print out and keep a copy of these Terms for your records. These Terms shall apply to all of the Services.
In addition to these Terms, there may be additional terms and conditions which apply to individual Services which you will be required to accept when registering for that Service.

General
  • We may delay enforcing our rights under these Terms without losing them.
  • You agree that we may sub-contract the performance of any of our obligations or may assign these Terms or any of our rights or obligations without giving you notice.
  • You undertake not to assign, re-sell or in any other way transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms.
  • We will not be liable to you for any breach of these Terms, which arises because of any circumstances that we cannot reasonably be expected to control.

  • If any part of these Terms is determined to be legally invalid or unenforceable, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Terms shall continue in effect.
  • Flexphone reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as Flexphone deems necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.
  • These Terms shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with English law and you and we both consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
