Here's the deal: I bought accounting software. All good. I found out I only got updates by taking out a service agreement. I did that (around £300). I then got an invoice for this year coming. I contacted them and said I didn't wish to continue with the service agreement, as the price didn't really cover small updates that would be free on other applications, and that I no longer needed. I was very polite! I got a reply (very polite and nice) saying that the agreement renewal was mandatory, was done in advance and needed 3 months written notice to cancel it. This is indeed written in the invoice (I missed it). However - I'd have thought that regardless of the T&C, consumers' rights would take precedence, and 1) An agreement renewal can't be mandatory, as it's a renewal, and both sides must agree. It can be automatic unless stated otherwise, but not mandatory. (am I right or not?) 2) I can see why I'd need to give three months notice to cancel mid-agreement, but the point of renewing and agreement, is that (as above) it's an AGREEMENT that needs to be RENEWED. A consumer can surely say - at the point of renewal - I no longer want this and do not wish to renew? All kind advice accepted. -
I have been offered a contract that seems a bit one sided, the contact states Notice to terminate: By Agency Immediate (for the avoidance of doubt, the Agency shall provide the Supplier with such notice as is given by the Client. However, in the event that the Client terminates the Client Agreement with immediate effect this agreement shall be terminated in accordance with clause 5(b)(iii)) By Supplier: N/A (for the avoidance of doubt, you are unable to terminate this agreement under clause 5(a) with notice. This agreement will continue for the entire Contract Term in accordance with clause 5(f) save for earlier termination in accordance with clause 5) My reading of this is that the client can terminate the contract whenever they feel like it, but the supplier (me) cannot terminate the contract, this seems to me a bit one-sided in favour of the client. Are these terms legally enforecible, as I thought there was a minimum notice period, or does that only apply to permanent staff and not contract staff. If I signed this contract and found that for reasons not stated I wanted to get out of the contract before the end then what could the Client do? Could they withold payment? - I would fight in the small claims court for payment. Sue me for breach of contract? - how can I breach a contract if I terminate it.
