- Replacement spare parts or materials required due to a mechanical or electrical breakdown.
- Call-out fees or labour charges for fixing unexpected breakdowns (though these are subject to the subscriber discount outlined in Section 2.3).

4. Payments, Fees, & Price Changes
- 4.1. Subscription Payments: Payments must be made via a recurring monthly Standing Order established by You directly with Your bank, or as a single Annual Advance Payment. All consumer prices displayed are inclusive of VAT at the standard UK rate.
- 4.2. Customer Responsibility: A Standing Order is an instruction managed entirely by You. It is Your responsibility to ensure the Standing Order is correctly set up using the correct Unique Payment Reference provided by Us. If the Standing Order is not active, we reserve the right to suspend all services, priority bookings, and discounts.
- 4.3. Missed Payments & Arrears: If a monthly Standing Order payment fails to clear or is cancelled without our prior written consent during the initial 12-month minimum term, your account will fall into arrears. We reserve the right to pause your benefits until the balance is settled.
- 4.4. Price Adjustments: We reserve the right to change the subscription fee. We will provide you with at least 30 days’ written notice prior to any price adjustment. Because We cannot alter a Standing Order instruction, You will be responsible for updating the payment amount with Your bank before the next payment date if you wish to maintain your subscription.
