If you do neither, we may cancel your Digital Subscription and refund any money you have paid. We will always act in good faith in determining whether a genuine pricing error has occurred.

Your Cancellation Rights

By placing your order for a Digital Subscription subject to these Terms and Conditions, you agree that we may start your Digital Subscription immediately upon our acceptance of your order and that you waive your statutory right to cancel our contract within 14 days of our confirmation email.

You will not be entitled to a refund except in the event that there is a fault in our provision of our services.
2.14. We may suspend or terminate your Digital Subscription if we are prevented from providing services to you, or accepting payment from you, by applicable law or circumstances beyond our control, or if we cease www.truckandbusbuilder.com.

2.15. We may also suspend or terminate your Digital Subscription, without refund, if you breach these Terms and Conditions, or in the event of any verbal or written abuse of any kind (including abusive, offensive or aggressive language) directed towards our Customer Service team, other Truck & Bus Builder personnel, or any member of the public, with or without notice and without further obligation to you.
