PLATFORM TERMS OF USE AND END USER LICENCE AGREEMENT

VERSION 1.2 - Last Updated 28.06.23

Please Read These Terms Carefully By Using the Platform You Agree to These Terms Which Will Bind You.

1. WHO WE ARE AND WHAT THIS AGREEMENT DOES

1.1. We are Maestro Media Limited. We're a company registered in England and Wales with company number 11996244. Our registered office is at 10 Kelham Gardens, Marlborough, England, SN8 1PW. Our VAT number is 327931880.

1.2. We operate a platform available at https://www.bbcmaestro.com (the "Platform") which provides individual users and business entities (“you” and “your”) with access to e-learning, informational and/or instructional audio-visual content delivered by celebrities or other well-known experts (the “Content").

1.3. These terms:

1.3.1. form a binding legal agreement between you, as a user of the Platform, and us;

1.3.2. govern your use of the Platform and the terms and conditions by which you can use the Platform and purchase, subscribe for and/or access the Content;

1.3.3. apply to you if you access the Platform from the United States; and

1.3.4. apply whether you access the Platform through our website (at bbcmaestro.com), via any mobile application software and any updates or supplements thereto that we might release from time to time, including our app called 'BBC Maestro' on Apple's App Store and 'BBC Maestro' on the Google Play store (the "Reader App"), or through any other means. The term 'Platform' as used in this policy applies to and incorporates any and all such channels.

1.4. We license you to use and access:

1.4.1. the Platform;

1.4.2. your Permitted Content (see paragraph 2.3); and

1.4.3. any other material ancillary to the foregoing, including general information on the Website,

in each case subject to the terms and conditions set out in these terms. You are not licensed or permitted to use the Platform or any Content in any other manner. The said license is restricted, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-assignable.

1.5. If you have any questions about these terms or wish to contact us you can reach us:

1.5.1. using the 'Contact' page of the Website; or

1.5.2. by email at [email protected]

2. PURCHASING THE CONTENT; CANCELLATION; REFUNDS

2.1. Most of the Content requires a fee to be paid before you can access it. This may be:

2.1.1. a fee paid for certain Content (in which case you will have purchased a one-off, personal license to view that Content according to these terms and any terms applicable to that Content or purchase which may be separately communicated to you at checkout); or

2.1.2. a fee paid for the purchase of a subscription, which will give you a limited-time license to view certain Content for as long as your subscription remains active, subject to any terms and conditions applicable to that subscription which will be communicated to you during the order process.

2.2. We may also decide from time to time to allow you to access certain Content for free (for example as part of a promotion or trial period). We can remove access to this Content at any time for any or no reason.

2.3. In these terms, the Content which you have the right to access (because you've purchased a license to access it, because you have purchased a subscription which entitles you to access it, or because we decide to offer it for free from time to time) is called "Permitted Content".

2.4. If you purchase a subscription, your subscription fees will be charged to your payment method at the beginning of each billing period. The length of the billing period depends on the subscription plan that you choose. The information about your billing period is available through your user account (the “Account”).

2.5. Unless the Permitted Content is defective (see paragraph 18.3 for more information), all payments and purchases are non-refundable and cannot be returned, except that where you purchase Content, you have a 48-hours right to change your mind and get a full refund on your Content by contacting us and letting us know that you wish to cancel the contract formed by these terms. Please note, however, that you do not have this right to cancel:

2.5.1. once a download (or stream) of any Content has started (provided you have been told this and have acknowledged it); or

2.5.2. where we have told you during the checkout process that completion of the purchase will give you the immediate right to access the Content such that you won't be able to cancel the contract and get a refund, and you have proceeded with the purchase notwithstanding such disclaimer.

2.5.3.This paragraph 2.5 does not apply to gift cards (the terms of which are covered in our gift card terms and conditions) and does not affect the rights you have in respect of defective Permitted Content as set out in paragraph 17.3 below.

2.6. Occasionally, we may offer users the ability to purchase virtual gift cards which can be redeemed for certain Content. Additional terms are applicable to the purchase of such gift cards, which are available here: [insert hyperlink].

2.7. Payment processing. We use third-party payment service providers to collect any fees due. Such providers may charge you certain fees or taxes for the processing of your payments (e.g., credit card fees); we do not reimburse any of such fees. Please check with your payment provider for further details.

2.8. Payment methods. We accept payment by the following credit or debit cards:

2.8.1. Visa;

2.8.2. Mastercard; or

2.8.3. American Express.

2.9. Prices. All prices are indicated in the United States dollars (USD) and include all applicable sales taxes, unless otherwise stated. The prices remain valid as long as indicated on the Platform.

2.10. Change in prices. The prices are subject to a change with or without a notice to you. If you hold a subscription plan, we will notify you about any intended changes no later than 30 calendar days in advance. Unless indicated otherwise, the price changes become effective as of the beginning of the next billing period (if you own a subscription plan). If, after receiving our notice about planned price changes, you do not agree to the changes, you can cancel your subscription through the Account.

2.11. Cancellation of subscription. If you purchase a subscription, your subscription will continue until terminated. You may cancel your subscription plan at any time through your Account or by contacting us directly. If the cancellation request is submitted at least 3 business days before the expiration of then-current billing period, the subscription will be terminated at the end of then-current billing term; if the cancellation request is submitted later than 3 business days before the expiration of then-current billing period, the subscription will be terminated at the end of the next billing period. Notwithstanding paragraph 2.5, no full or partial fees already paid by you shall be refunded or credits issued if you cancel your subscription.

2.12. Automatic renewal. Unless you submit us your request to cancel your subscription as explained in paragraph 2.11, you understand that (i) your subscription will automatically renew on a recurrent basis at the beginning of each billing period and (ii) we are authorized to charge your payment method each billing period for any fees due, including the applicable taxes. You can consult the exact billing date through your Account. If you use a trial period, before the start date of the subscription, we will send an email informing you about the charges to be made, including the ongoing transaction amount and billing frequency and date. You will be allowed to easily cancel any subsequent transactions online.

2.13. Failure to charge. If we cannot charge your payment method or our charge is declined (e.g., due to the expiration of your credit card or insufficient funds), we reserve the right to retry billing your payment method a few times. If the billing is unsuccessful, your subscription will automatically cease, unless you provide us with a new payment method. You remain solely responsible for any uncollected amounts. We reserve the right to pursue any amounts due unpaid by you, including any additional fees related thereto (e.g., court costs, attorneys’ fees, collection costs, bank overdraft fees, and collection agency fees).

2.14. Incorrect billing. If you have a reason to believe that we have billed you incorrectly, please contact us immediately and no later than 60 calendar days after the billing date in order to request an adjustment or credit.

2.15. Termination of your access to the Content. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to terminate your access to the Content at any time, including without limitation, terminate your access to the Permitted Content or terminate your subscription. If we terminate your subscription, we will issue a pro-rated refund of your subscription fees. Please note that you will not be entitled to the said pro-rated refund if you violate any provision of these terms. If your access to the Platform is terminated due to your violation of these terms, you shall not be entitled to any refunds of the fees paid.

1. These Terms

1.1. These Maestro Media Limited Gift Card Terms (the “Terms”) apply to the purchase and redemption of gift cards on the platform BBC Maestro available at https://www.bbcmaestro.com (as it may be renamed or rebranded from time to time) (the "Platform") operated by Maestro Media Limited, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 11996244 and registered office at 10 Kelham Gardens, Marlborough, England, SN8 1PW ("we", "us", "our" or "Maestro").

1.2. By 'gift cards', we mean a digital code issued by Maestro which can be used to redeem (subject to these terms) the course to which the gift card relates or an All Courses Pass, which are available on the Platform, for no additional charge to the redeemer.

1.3. Maestro does not currently sell gift cards which operate as 'pre-paid' vouchers in relation to which a credit balance can be redeemed against products on the Platform generally. Each gift card can only be used to redeem the particular course for which it was purchased in accordance with these Terms.

1.4. If you purchase a gift card for somebody else, you should ensure that they are aware of these terms.

1.5. Please note that gift cards will expire if not redeemed within a certain timeframe. Please refer to clause 4.2.2below.

2. Do any other terms apply?

2.1. The use of gift cards is subject to these specific terms, together with Maestro's platform terms of use available here (the “Terms of Use”).

2.2 The use of a gift card for the All Courses Pass (referred to in these terms as a 'Pass') is also subject to the Maestro Media Limited Subscription Terms.

2.3. Personal data processed by Maestro in connection with your purchase or use of gift cards will be processed in accordance with the Privacy Notice available here.

3. How do I use a gift card?

3.1. Head to https://www.bbcmaestro.com/giftcards and click the 'Have a gift card to redeem?' link. If you have an account, login. If you don't have an account, you will need to create one (for free). You will then be able to insert your gift card code to redeem the relevant course.

4.2.2. expire if not redeemed within 5 years from the date of purchase;

4.5 If the redeemer already has a subscription to the Platform, the gift card can be saved for future use (subject to expiry in accordance with clause 4.2.2 above).

6.1.3. any person using or attempting to use a gift card is doing so in circumstances where our systems are being hacked, subverted or otherwise misused.

9.2. If any provision of these Terms shall be found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under the law of any jurisdiction, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of the other provisions of this agreement or the legality, validity or enforceability in any other jurisdiction of that provision.

It won't prevent you from bringing legal proceedings.

6.6. You remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to payment method expiration, insufficient funds, the chargeback of a previously valid payment, or otherwise, and you do not cancel your subscription, we may suspend your access to the subscription until we are in receipt of cleared funds from you for the subscription and subsequently cancel it if payment is still not received within 14 days.

6.7. If you have a valid gift card to use, you will need to enter it in the gift card code box on the redeem gift card area of the gift card page of the Maestro website.

Unless otherwise stated, only one discount code, gift card or promotional code may be used per subscription. Other promotional terms may apply.

6.8. Subject to either you or us exercising our rights to cancel or terminate the subscription, or to you opting out of auto-renewal, you authorise us to, and accept that we will, charge your original payment method on a recurring annual basis beginning on completion by you of the order process and every year thereafter until you cancel or we suspend or terminate your access to the subscription. The recurring subscription fee will be the same amount as you paid for your subscription in the previous year, unless any price increases are notified to you in accordance with clause 6.9, and will be charged on the same day each year.

6.9. Each year, after the recurring annual payment has been received, we will email you to confirm your subscription has been renewed for another year. If you opt-out of auto-renewal or cancel your subscription, you may use the subscription until the end of the applicable subscription year (unless we cancel your subscription due to your breach of these terms or our other terms of use) and your subscription will not be renewed after that year ends. We reserve the right not to renew your subscription at any time without cause. Payment details are stored securely by a third party to allow recurring payment for future recurring payments.

You may add, update or change payment cards or other subscription details such as email address and billing address by visiting https://www.bbcmaestro.com/users/account and logging in with your email address and password.

6.11. If the amount to be charged for a recurring subscription fee changes from the current fee, we shall provide notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge at least forty (40) days before the scheduled date of payment of the recurring subscription fee. If, as a result of the fee change, you want to cancel your subscription, please follow the steps in clause 7 below.

6.12. Your subscription will automatically renew each year and will continue unless cancelled by you or suspended or cancelled by us in accordance with these terms and conditions. Each renewal extends the duration of an existing subscription and does not qualify as a new subscription, including for the purposes of any joining offers or the 30-day money-back guarantee set out in these terms. For example, if your subscription is accepted on 4th January, it will be valid until 3rd January the following year unless renewed. If renewed, the recurring annual subscription fee would then be charged on 4th January 2023 for the next subscription year which would run until 3rd January 2024.

If we fail to comply with these terms and conditions, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these terms and conditions or our negligence, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it was an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time that the contract between you and us for your order became binding (i.e. when the confirmation email for that order was issued).

12. Other Important Terms

12.1. We may need to change these terms to reflect changes in law or best practice or to deal with additional features which we introduce.

12.2. We will endeavour to give you at least 30 days' notice of any change by sending you an email with details of the change or notifying you of a change when you next access the Platform, unless changes are required sooner by law, to comply with best practice, or to reflect changes in how the Platform is operated.

12.3. If you do not accept the notified changes you will either:

12.3.1. be able to continue to use the Platform and access any Permitted Content in accordance with the existing terms but certain new features may not be available to you; or

12.3.2. in certain circumstances, you will not be permitted to continue to use the Platform or access Permitted Content (in which case you have the right to cancel this contract by following the steps in clause 7 above and may be eligible for a refund and we will contact you separately about this).

12.4. We reserve the right to refuse to accept a new subscription order or any annual renewal if we reasonably believe that you are not complying (or have not in the past complied) with these terms and conditions.

12.5. Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms and conditions, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the subscription, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

12.6. We shall not be in breach of these terms and conditions nor liable for delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of our obligations under these terms and conditions if such delay or failure result from events, circumstances or causes beyond our reasonable control. In such circumstances, we shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of the time for performing such obligations and may:

12.6.1. suspend your subscription for the period during which your subscription cannot be used. During such suspension period, we will take no further payments from you under these terms and conditions. In this case, the then current subscription period for your subscription will continue once your subscription can be used again or may be terminated in accordance with clause 12.6.2 below; and

12.6.2 if the period of delay or non-performance continues for a significant period of time, we may terminate your subscription. If we terminate under this clause 12.6.2, we will pay a pro rata refund of an amount equal to the subscription fee prepaid by you for the period after your subscription has been terminated (for the avoidance of any doubt no payment shall be due to the redeemer where the Pass was redeemed via a gift card and in such circumstances, refunds pursuant to this paragraph 12.6.2 will need to be requested by the purchaser of the applicable gift card). .

13. General

13.1. If you have any questions about these terms, please contact us on the contact details set out at the top of these terms and conditions.

13.2. If any provision of these terms shall be found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under the law of any jurisdiction, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of the other provisions of this agreement or the legality, validity or enforceability in any other jurisdiction of that provision.

13.3. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the subscriptions in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of subscriptions you may have bought in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of subscriptions you may have bought in either the Northern Irish or the English courts. If you are a resident of the United States, these terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York including all matters of construction, validity, performance, and enforcement and without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws. Any action brought by that involves a resident of the United States shall be brought within the State of New York, County of New York.

13.4. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, please contact us and we will advise you regarding whether we offer any forms of alternative dispute resolution and how to follow up on your complaint. Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. It won't prevent you from bringing legal proceedings.
