Changes to Terms & Conditions
Qflicks reserves the right, from time to time, with or
without notice to you, to change these Terms & Conditions at its sole
discretion. The most current version of these Terms & Conditions can be
reviewed by clicking on the "Terms & Conditions" hyperlink located

Qflicks Web site after changes are made means that you agree to be bound by such
changes.
Membership and Billing
You can find the specific details regarding your
subscription with Qflicks at anytime by clicking on the "My Account" tab, located at the top of the pages of the Qflicks Web site.
- Free Trials
Free trials are only available to new subscribers of
the Qflicks service. Previous subscribers or trialists of Qflicks, DVDs365, Movietrak or Mailbox Movies,
do not qualify for a free trial. Only one free trial may be redeemed per household and
a free trial may not be combined with any other offer. You must have
internet access and a valid credit/debit card to redeem a free trial
offer. People who break this rule will be charged the monthly subscription,
without notice, for any additional trial taken.
Upon registering for your free trial, your credit card will be authorized
for approximately three months of service. No charges, however, will be
made against the card unless you do not cancel prior to the end of your
free trial period or you do not return DVDs before the end of the trial.
The free trial will end once you have rented the maximum allowed DVDs for the trial period
or at the end of the period of your trial, whichever is reached first. The DVD limit for
your trial period is displayed in the "My Account" section. You may choose to become a full member at any time during the free trial period.
We will begin billing your credit card for monthly subscription fees for the
Qflicks Service once you have rented the next DVD after your maximum
allowed or your trial period has ended, whichever is reached first, unless you cancel prior to the end of your free trial and return DVDs before the end of the trial. We will continue to bill your credit card on a monthly basis for the
Qflicks Service until you cancel.
You must cancel your account and return DVDs before the end of your free
trial period to avoid charges to your credit card. For instructions on how
to do this, see the section on 'cancellation' below.
Qflicks reserves the right to change the free trial offer without notice.
- Billing
As a subscriber to Qflicks, you agree that we are permitted to charge your credit card a monthly subscription fee and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of
Qflicks. The subscription fee will be billed at the beginning of your subscription and on each monthly renewal
thereafter, unless you reach the maximum DVDs allowed for a package before
the end of the period. The maximum number of rentals for a
subscription period is shown in the package information section and also in
the "My Account" section.
Standard Packages: If the maximum number of rentals has been reached for
a subscription
period, you will be charged for the next subscription period once the next
DVD, after your maximum allowed, has been sent to you.
Lite Packages: If the maximum number of rentals has been reached for
a subscription
period, your account will be put "on-hold". You can
then choose to wait until your next payment date before further DVDs are sent
or you can log in to your account and start the next subscription period
immediately. We will automatically charge your credit card each month on or after the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your
membership unless you choose to start the next subscription period earlier.
All fees and charges are non-refundable. We may change the fees and charges in effect, or add new fees and charges from time to time, but we will give you advance notice of these changes by email. If you want to use a different credit card or if there is a change in your credit card validity or expiry date, you may edit your credit card information by clicking on the "My Account" button, available at the top of most pages of the
Qflicks Web site. If you have not cancelled your subscription and your credit card expires we reserve the right to automatically change the expiration date on your credit card.
- Annual Membership
A discounted annual membership is available for each
subscription package. The fee is charged for one year's subscription in
advance. We do not provide refunds or credits for any partial annual subscription
period.
- Automatic Renewals
Your Qflicks subscription will be automatically renewed
each month. For your convenience, we will charge the
regular subscription fee to the credit card you provide to us during registration (or to a different credit card if you change your account information). Your membership will automatically renew for successive
periods' subscriptions, without prior notice to you, unless and until you cancel your membership or we terminate
it, or you choose to start the next subscription period earlier having rented
the maximum allowed for the period. You must cancel your membership before it renews in order to avoid billing of subscription fees to your credit card.
- Expired or Invalid Credit Cards
The terms we agree with you are dependent on a valid
credit card being available for charging each month. Should your credit
card expire, or reach its credit limit, we send you a reminder to that
effect.
If you do not update your card details and continue to keep your rented
disks you will be charged at the rate of £1.50 per day for each disk not
returned. This is to allow us to continue to provide a high level of
service to other members.
If you have any difficulties with your credit limit, then we advise you to
freeze your account (disks must be returned before freezing takes effect)
and unfreeze when funds become available.
In all circumstances you must return disks to us when you are failing to
make payment, to avoid unnecessary charges and potential legal action.
- Delivery and Return of DVDs
We currently use the Royal Mail, first-class postage
prepaid, to deliver and return the DVDs you have selected to view. Actual
delivery times may vary for you depending on (i) our stock availability,
(ii) your delivery address, (iii) when you make your selection and (iv)
circumstances impacting delivery by the Royal Mail. Any delays in the
Royal Mail delivery times are outwith the control of Qflicks. Qflicks,
therefore, is not responsible for Royal Mail postal delays or misdirected
mail. It is your responsibility to ensure that
your address has been entered correctly, including your postcode. If
you change address, you must update your address details in My Account
to ensure that no DVDs are sent out to the wrong address. Please
ensure this is done before you move as you will be liable for any DVDs
posted to the wrong address. You may wish to use our Freeze facility
during your move.
You agree to treat the DVDs and their associated
packaging with the utmost care at all times. You agree that you may need
to compensate Qflicks for any DVD lost or returned in an unacceptable
condition (beyond reasonable wear and tear) - and that you allow Qflicks
to charge such compensation to your credit card. We will notify you of any
such charges. Should a member withhold payment and fail to return DVDS
when requested, then Qflicks will pursue the member for the cost of these
DVDs and all associated legal and recovery expenses.
- DVDs Lost or Delayed in the Post
If a DVD is delayed or lost in the post this should be reported using Report a Problem on the website. If the DVD has been lost in return, a form declaring postal loss will be
sent to you for completion. A receipt of posting should be attached if this was obtained from a Post Office when the DVD was returned.
If you have been affected by a postal delay or loss we recommend that you obtain
a receipt of posting for any further DVDs returned by you. A receipt of posting
must be attached to the form declaring postal loss for second or
subsequent losses. For any DVD reported missing, the form declaring
postal loss must be returned within 7 days, otherwise you will be charged the
full recommended retail price of the DVD. Any fraudulent declarations will
result in termination of your account and immediate and full prosecution.
- Cancellation
As noted above, you may cancel your subscription to Qflicks
at anytime. It is essential to cancel your membership no later than the
day before your next payment date, so that you are not charged for a
month's membership, and before returning your last DVD so that we do not
send another.
It is also essential to cancel via the web site to
ensure that your payments are ceased in the proper manner. Please note the
onus is on you to cancel.
To cancel, click the "My Account" tab and
follow the instructions under the heading "Cancel My
Membership." We do not provide refunds or credits for any partial
monthly or annual subscription periods. Upon cancellation, you must return any
outstanding DVDs to Qflicks prior to your next payment date, getting a receipt of
posting as proof of return. If the DVDs
are returned after your next payment date you will be charged for the next
month's subscription (We allow 2 days to compensate for any postal
delay). Failure to return such DVDs will result in your credit card being
billed for such items. If we have sent a DVD to you that you have not
received, you must notify Qflicks of this within 7 days of it being
dispatched and before cancelling, otherwise you will be billed for the
item.
Account Access
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of
your account and password and for restricting access to your computer. In order
to provide you with an easy-to-use service, Qflicks will place a 'cookie' (a
