   VAT is applicable to customers based on the regulations and requirements of their respective countries. Customers may be required to pay VAT in accordance with the prevailing tax laws of their country of residence or operation. As a non-EU supplier of electronically supplied services, we are required to account for VAT on these services provided to EU non-business customers as a result of the VAT place of supply rules contained in Council Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value-added tax.

   In order to fulfill our VAT obligations, we have opted to register for VAT under the special scheme for non-EU suppliers of electronic services, also known as the one-stop scheme, in accordance with Article 357 to 369 of the above EC Directive rather than register for VAT in each member state individually.

It is the responsibility of B2B customers to inform us of their status and provide necessary documentation for VAT reverse charging. We are a non-EU supplier of electronically supplied services. As such, our VAT registration number is prefixed by “EU”

   4. All prices and VAT amounts are specified in GBP (British Pounds) unless otherwise stated.

4. If the User abuses the free period several times in a year, the account will immediately be converted to a paid membership and invoiced to the user.
5. If the User does not unsubscribe within the free period, the subscription and therefore the payment obligation for the User will automatically commence immediately after this period. The subscription has a fixed period of at least 3 months. After 3 months (90 days) the subscription can be canceled monthly. If the agreement is not cancelled before the end of the term, the subscription will be extended by 90 days each time.
