The FAQs below provide details of the various possible scenarios relating to the renewal of subscriptions. Please read them carefully and follow the instructions to ensure that you don't miss out on any materials, and that you are not overcharged.
  • I have a monthly subscription - what do I do?
    For any one-month subscriptions (£8.50 per month), please allow payments to go through until 10 September. Thereafter all subscriptions should be cancelled by the customer. Any subscription payments after 10 September will be eligible for a full refund minus a £0.50 processing fee.
  • My subscription renewed automatically between 10 July and 9 August 2008
    Since the on-going publication of our materials will cease on 10 October 2008, your existing subscription will continue and see you through the publication of the remaining premium materials. You can now cancel your subscription (use the instructions here), and you will still receive all materials.
  • My subscription renewed automatically between 10 August 2008 and 5 September
    Since the on-going publication of our materials will cease on 10 October 2008, you will be entitled to a refund for a total of one month (£7.50GBP). You can now cancel your subscription (use the instructions here), and you will still receive all materials. Please contact us to allow us to process your refund. If possible, please provide the email address linked to your Paypal account and the date of renewal.
  • My subscription is due for renewal between 6 September and 9 September 2008
    Since the on-going publication of our materials will cease on 10 October 2008, you will be entitled to a refund for a total of one month (£7.50 GBP). You can now cancel your subscription (use the instructions here), and you will still receive all materials. Please contact us to allow us to process your refund. If possible, please provide the email address linked to your Paypal account and the date of renewal.
  • My subscription is due to renew after 10 September 2008.
    If your subscription is due for renewal between 10 September 2008 and 10 October 2008, then you should allow the subscription to renew to cover the remaining bonus materials, but you'll be entitled to a £15.00 GBP refund (equivalent of 2 unused months). Having allowed the subscription to renew, please then cancel it (use the instructions here). Please contact us to allow us to process your refund. If possible, please provide the email address linked to your Paypal account and the date of renewal.
  • I realise I've not been paying for materials for X months and I've been using them. Will you be invoicing me?
    It has come to our attention that there has been a bug in our system which has allowed users to continue to access the Premium materials, even after their accounts were cancelled and payments stopped. Possible reasons for this could include accounts being cancelled by Paypal when credit cards renewal dates were reached. We realise that this has been our mistake, and we will not be chasing up these payments. We have, however, been asked by a number of listeners to provide a mechanism whereby they can 'make up for missed payments'. To this end, we invite any listeners who wish to make a 'top-up' payment to use this donation link to make whatever payment seems appropriate. Please note that this is optional.
  • I've cancelled too early and now can't get access to the remaining materials.
    If you've cancelled your account before it renews then you may find that you can no longer access the remaining bonus materials. In order for you to gain access to these materials, you must make a 'top-up' payment. If your account was due to renew between 10 September and 10 October 2008, then please make a donation for £7.50. If your account was due to renew betwen 10 August and 9 September 2008, then please make a donation for £15.00. If your account was due for renewal before 9 August, please contact us.

    Once you have made your top-up payment, please inform us of this by visiting the Help Desk and providing details of the donation, your most recent renewal date and the email address associated with your Paypal account. We will then reopen your account and provide access to the remaining materials through 10 October 2008.
  • When I first subscribed I got more materials than I expected
    The bug in our system has also led to users' accessing the premium materials right back to lesson 1, even though they became a Premium Member at a later date and should only have been given access to more recent units. Again, we realise that this has been our mistake, and we will not be chasing up these payments. We have, however, been asked by a number of listeners to provide a mechanism whereby they can 'make up for missed payments'. To this end, we invite any listeners who wish to make a 'top-up' payment to use this donation link to make whatever payment seems appropriate. Please note that this is optional.
