Subscription Services (detailed)

Access to the Subscription Services will require you to pay a fee, the amount of which will be as set out as part of the Services (including, without limitation, on our website or our application) or on the third party application store from which you download the Services or, in the case of "in-App" purchases, within our application (as the case may be). We reserve the right to determine which Services are subject to a subscription fee and may change this from time to time.  If you elect to subscribe to the Subscription Services, you are a "subscriber".  You can find specific details regarding your subscription at any time by logging into your Tastemade account.  You agree your subscription is for individual use only.

The fee you pay gives you access to the Subscription Services, features, functions and/or content for the period of time selected by you from amongst the available options indicated on our Services or the third party application store from which you download our Services including our application, or, in the case of "in-App" purchases, within our application (as the case may be). It is important to note that, at the end of this subscription period, your subscription will automatically renew for an equivalent period (and continue to do so), unless you alter your subscription renewal settings in accordance with the instructions to be found on the Services (including our website) or the relevant third party application store (see Cancellation of Subscription Services). 

Where you pay to download the Subscription Services or in-App purchase, we warrant that it will substantially comply with the description provided by us at the point of download and that any services we provide through it will be provided with reasonable care and skill.

If you access the Subscription Services through our website, you may check and correct any input errors in your order up until the point at which you submit your order to us by clicking the "Subscribe" button on the subscription page. The Subscription Services and optional “in-App” purchases (for example, of certain features, functions or content) you download are made available to you immediately and you acknowledge and agree that this is the case and that, therefore (subject to any cancellation right that the terms of service of the relevant third party application store may allow you), you will have no right to change your mind and cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations (sometimes known as a ‘cooling off’ right) once access has commenced and/or the download has started.

We may offer a number of subscription plans from time to time with differing conditions and limitations.  Any materially different terms from those described in these Terms will be disclosed at your sign-up or in other communications made available to you.

Some promotional subscriptions are offered by third parties in conjunction with the provision of their own products and services.  We are not responsible for the products and services provided by such third parties. 

Charges, Payment and Renewal

In providing a credit card or other payment method accepted by Tastemade ("Payment Method"), you are expressly agreeing that we (or an authorised third-party payment processor such as Stripe, Apple or Google) are authorised to charge you a subscription fee, any other fees for additional services you may purchase and any applicable taxes in connection the Subscription Services ("Charges"). The Charges for the Subscription Services are as quoted on our website and/application from time to time where applicable. Charges include VAT.

We will bill the monthly or annual subscription fee plus any applicable taxes (i.e. Charges) to the Payment Method you provide to use during registration (or to a different Payment Method if you change your account information).  You authorise us, on an ongoing basis, to debit that card (or, if relevant, the alternative card) automatically with all charges due and payable by you in advance in relation to any Service in accordance with these Terms, until that Service is cancelled or your account is closed. If your Subscription Service renews, charges for each renewal period (at the same level as the preceding subscription period, unless the charges have increased, in which case we will notify you beforehand) will automatically be charged to your account, in advance, on the renewal date (or shortly before or after), unless you have already cancelled your Subscription Services (see Cancellation of Subscription Services). To see the start date for your next renewal period, log into your Tastemade account (or Apple iTunes account or a Google Play account, as applicable).

Charges for any additional usage or optional extras (in accordance with our charging method as set out on the website and/or application) will also be charged to your account and payment taken via your chosen Payment Method.

You acknowledge that the amount billed each billing period may vary due to promotional offers, changes in your Subscription Services and changes in applicable taxes, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for the corresponding amounts. If Tastemade changes the Charges or other charges for your Subscription Services, we will give you advance notice of these changes by email.  However, we will not be able to notify you of changes in any applicable taxes.

If you do not pay us Charges you owe us on time (including if any correct charge to your credit or debit card is not authorised), we may suspend or terminate your access to any Service (and we reserve the right to pursue any available legal remedy to collect the amount owed by you). However, Charges will continue to be incurred until the account is closed. You will remain liable for all such amounts and all costs incurred in connection with the collection of these amounts, including, without limitation, bank overdraft fees, collection agency fees, reasonable legal fees and/or court costs.

Very rarely, if there are special circumstances where Tastemade determines it is appropriate (e.g., your Subscription Services are unavailable for days due to technical difficulties), we may provide credits to affected subscribers. The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at Tastemade's sole and absolute discretion, and the provision of credits in one instance does not entitle anyone to credits in the future under similar or different circumstances.

Cancellation of Subscription Services

You can cancel your subscription at any time. If you do not wish your subscription to the Services to renew automatically at the end of the then-current subscription period, you must alter your subscription renewal settings in accordance with the instructions to be found on the relevant third party application store or as set out in these Terms. If you do not do this, charges to your Payment Method may continue until the end of the following Subscription Services renewal period. It is your responsibility to notify us in advance of renewal.

Subject to your cancellation rights above, you cannot cancel your Subscription Services before the end of the then-current subscription period, unless:

  • the Subscription Services to which you are subscribed ceases to be available or becomes degraded so as to materially and adversely affect that Subscription Service and it is not restored within 7 days; or
  • we make material changes to which you do not agree.

In any of these cases, you should notify us that you wish to cancel your Subscription Services.

Note that if you subscribe to Subscription Services via an Apple iTunes account or a Google Play account, you must manage your Subscription Services and cancel directly through those services, respectively.  While the terms of subscription are generally similar to that described above, please refer to the applicable Apple or Google subscription terms for the terms applicable to your Subscription Services, including specific renewal terms and when and how to cancel a subscription.

Terms specific to Tastemade Apps and in addition to the Terms herein

Furthermore, with respect to any application ("App") accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, as applicable ("App Store Sourced Application"), you'll use the App Store Sourced Application only: (i) on an Apple-branded product that runs iOS or an Android-powered product that runs Android, as the case may be; and (ii) as permitted by the terms and conditions of such App Store Sourced Application.

Additional terms for Apple Applications

  • In the event of any failure of the App Store Sourced Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App Store Sourced Application to you (if applicable) and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App Store Sourced Application. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure of the App Store Sourced Application to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Tastemade.

  • In the event of any third-party claim that the App Store Sourced Application or your possession or use of that App Store Sourced Application infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Tastemade will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such claim to the extent required by these Terms; and
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof. You must also comply with all applicable third-party terms of service when using the App Store Sourced Application.

Free Trial for Subscription Services

We may offer to certain qualifying users Subscription Services on a free trial basis ("Free Trial") for a specified period of time.  If we offer you a Free Trial, the specific terms of your Free Trial will be provided at signup and/or in the promotional materials describing the Free Trial and your use of the Free Trial is subject to your compliance with such specific terms. In the event that such terms are not provided, please email info@tastemade.com to confirm such terms.

Certain limitations may exist with respect to combining Free Trials with any other offers.  Except as may otherwise be provided in the specific terms for the Free Trial offer, Free Trials are only available to users who have not previously obtained Subscription Services.  When you agree to a Free Trial, you are also agreeing to sign up for Subscription Services as described above and, consequently, unless you cancel your Subscription Services prior to the end of your Free Trial, we (or our third party payment processor) will begin charging your Payment Method on a recurring monthly basis for the applicable monthly Charges (plus any applicable taxes and other charges) at the end of the Free Trial until you cancel your Subscription Services (seeCancellation of Subscription Services). Please note that you will not receive a notice from Tastemade that your Free Trial has ended and that payment for your Subscription Services is due.

Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude our liability to you:

  • for death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
  • for fraudulent misrepresentation;
  • for breach of any term implied by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and which, by law, may not be limited or excluded; or
  • for any other liability that, by law, may not be limited or excluded.

Subject to this, if you are a consumer and not a business customer, in no event shall we be liable to you for any business losses, and if you are a business customer, in no event shall we be liable to you for any indirect or consequential losses, or for any loss of profit, revenue, contracts, data, goodwill or other similar losses, and any liability we do have for losses you suffer arising from any agreement between us shall not, in respect of any 12-month period (calculated from the date of commencement of the contract), exceed the charges payable by you for the relevant Services in that 12-month period and is strictly limited to losses that were reasonably foreseeable. Losses are foreseeable where they could be contemplated by you and us at the time your order is accepted by us.

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under any contract between us that is caused by events outside our reasonable control.

Changes to Terms

We may change the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, you agree that Tastemade may notify you of the updated Terms by posting them on the Services, and that your use of the Services after the effective date of the updated Terms (or doing such other conduct as we may reasonably specify) constitutes your agreement to the updated Terms.

It's important that you review the Terms whenever we modify them because if you continue to use the Services after we have posted modified Terms, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don't agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then you may not use the Services anymore.  Because our Services are evolving over time, we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.

General terms

You may not transfer or assign any or all of your rights or obligations under any contract between us. Tastemade may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

All notices given by you to us must be given in writing to the address set out at the end of these Terms. We may give notice to you at either the email or postal address you provide to us when placing an order.

If we fail to enforce any of our rights, that does not result in a waiver of that right. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, all other provisions shall remain unaffected.

These Terms may not be varied except with our express written consent.

These Terms and any document expressly referred to in them represent the entire agreement between you and us in relation to the subject matter of any contract between us. We are required by law to advise you that contracts may be concluded in the English language only and that no public filing requirements apply.

Any notices or other communications provided by Tastemade under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given by Tastemade via email or provided through the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted, and for notices made through the Services, the date of access of the Services with such notice will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

Dispute resolution

Governing law

These Terms shall be governed by English law, except that (if you are a consumer and not a business user) and if you live in a country (which, for these purposes, includes Scotland or Northern Ireland) of the European Union other than England, there may be certain mandatory applicable laws of your country which apply for your benefit and protection in addition to or instead of certain provisions of English law.

You agree that any dispute between you and us regarding these Terms or the Services will only be dealt with by the English courts, except that (if you are a consumer and not a business user) and if you live in a country (which, for these purposes, includes Scotland or Northern Ireland) of the European Union other than England, you can choose to bring legal proceedings either in your country or in England, but if we bring legal proceedings, we may only do so in your country.
