4. For users completing the subscription form their distributor will invoice them with the system's licence fee at the prevailing rate - please check what that is before completing the subscription form.

5. On each 12-month anniversary of the users licence subscription date, or any user licence registration arising, the distributor will automatically invoice the licence renewal fees due which will enable the user to use the system for a further 12 months.

This removal instruction must be received within 7 days of the licence subscription's 12-month anniversary.
