1. Subscriptions to the UK Firework Review grant access to the "member" area of the website for the time period specified. All subscriptions are payments in advance and are nonrefundable ie. you are not entitled to a refund of the whole or part of your subscription if you do not access the website during your term.

2. Access to the members area will only be granted on receipt of payment and manual authorisation by us. We are unable to give access until full payment has been received however your term only starts from when access was granted and not from when you applied.

3. You will require a User ID and password (in addition to payment) to access the members area. We are unable to give access unless you complete "Step 1" of the application process and create a User ID.

4. You must fill in a valid e-mail address when applying for membership and use the same e-mail address when making payment. This is because we need to tie the two together and confirmation of access is sent to that e-mail.

5. We reserve the right to refuse to grant access to any person, for any reason, without explanation. In this event if your payment has been processed we will refund any monies taken, in full, unless you were given access initially and were subsequently barred from the site for breaking our terms, in which case a refund would not be given.

6. Accounts are manually activated and administered to keep our costs to a minimum and therefore your membership costs down. This does mean access may not be immediate after payment. We aim to activate all new accounts within 24 hours of payment but please allow longer.

7. We only accept payment on-line by the methods indicated during the join process.

8. We understand that as a paying member you expect the UKFR to be on-line and available at all times. However, we can make no guarantees as to the "up time" of the site as this is beyond our control. For example, hosting, routing, server, Internet, hardware and software problems completely beyond our control may occur. We accept no responsibility if the site goes off-line and it is not our fault.

9. We are committed to running the UKFR but should the site close or otherwise cease to function intentionally at our request, memberships will be refunded pro-rata. This is the only occasion when memberships will be refunded. We are not responsible for matters outside of our control which may affect the value of our content including changing firework legislation.

10. Memberships run for the time stipulated when you join. At the end of this period your membership will expire. If this happens you will lose access to the member content however YOU ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP. If you wish to cancel you need do nothing. Your card will not be rebilled automatically.

11. Referring also to the site terms, we accept no responsibility for the content of our site which is provided "as is" and with no warranty express or implied. We should point out that the reviews and all our other content is offered as our opinion only. All content is downloaded at your own risk.

12. We reserve the right to change subscription prices higher or lower without notice. This will not affect current members until their term has expired. Any renewal of membership must be done at the current prices at the time of renewal.

13. TRADE USERS PLEASE NOTE: USER ID'S ARE FOR ONE PERSON'S USE ONLY AND MUST NOT BE SHARED. IF YOU REQUIRE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS OR MULTIPLE USE OF AN ACCOUNT FOR YOUR STAFF PLEASE CONTACT US. SHARING AN ACCOUNT WITHOUT PERMISSION IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

14. ALL CONTENT IS COPYRIGHT AND MUST NOT BE DUPLICATED BY ANY MEANS, IN ANY MEDIUM, WITHOUT OUR WRITTEN CONSENT.

All textual information is also covered by this including reviews or review summaries which may not be copied or quoted without our permission.

17. Bandwidth abuse. Users who abuse bandwidth will be removed, this includes repeatedly requesting the same file, off-line or robotic leeching and any other activity we deem to be contrary to normal and reasonable use of the site.

18. Forum abuse. The forum is subject to separate terms and conditions which you can view on the forum page. Any members who abuse the forum can have both forum and UKFR membership revoked. In addition to the forum terms, we also consider registering an additional and/or fake forum ID or sending abusive messages by personal messenger, as abuse of the forum.

WE CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH TO THE TRADE THAT ALL REVIEW MATERIAL OR MATERIAL FROM ATTENDING AN EVENT IS COPYRIGHT UKFR AND MAY NOT BE REPRODUCED WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION.

23.

This is because we have an obligation to ensuring the security of the website and to protect ourselves against fraud. We do not offer anonymous access. If you supply these details, they will not be used for any other purpose than confirmation of your application.

24. The e-mail you enter when you join will be used to notify you of your joining details, confirmation of payment if applicable, and termination of your account when your term expires.
