If you have not accessed the website through the client portal in any way then you may within seven days of the start of your contract with us request a full refund and termination of these Terms. However, once you have accessed the database or have begun downloading the information, then you may not cancel your contract and any fees paid will not be refunded. To cancel your contract, you must inform us in writing. This provision does not affect your other statutory rights as a consumer. You may at any time terminate your contract with us by giving us notice in writing, which will take effect at the end of the current billing period. Notices given less than seven days before the end of your current billing period will be deemed to take effect at the end of the next billing period.

If you decide to access linked third-party web sites, you do so at your own risk.

You hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts over you, and waive and agree not to assert any objection to proceedings in such courts (including lack of proper jurisdiction or venue or inconvenience of forum). 

13. General. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision, to the extent unenforceable, will be struck, and will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. These Terms of Use set forth the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof.
