This company employs deceptive tactics. They deliberately conceal the recurring monthly fee of £49.99 in small grey text, aiming to mislead consumers into purchasing what they label as '7 day limited access'. This appears to be a clear attempt to deceive customers, violating UK (and European) consumer laws. It's advisable to dispute any charges with your bank. Infringing upon UK law: The automatic renewal and the £49.99 recurring fee were not clearly displayed at the time of purchase. Instead, they were tucked away in small, low-contrast grey text at the bottom of the page, while the main interface showcased “Limited access, 1 week” and “£1” in large, eye-catching text. According to the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, essential information — particularly regarding price and recurring payment obligations — must be clearly presented. The renewal charge is critical information that was inadequately revealed. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (sections 62 and 68), contract terms should be fair, clear, and clearly visible. A recurring charge of £49.99 is a significant financial term that should not be obscured in less prominent text. Such a term is not binding on the consumer. According to the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, sellers must clearly inform consumers about the total price, the nature of the contract, and any recurring payment obligations before the consumer commits.
