Terms and conditions

Align is a digital platform where aspiring barristers can receive tailored work recommendations. Although we want you to achieve the goal of pupillage, we cannot and do not make the promise or offer or suggestion that this will be done solely or hugely on the basis of receiving our services.

Online terms and conditions for the supply of digital content and end user licence agreement

Please read the following important terms and conditions before you buy any digital content from us and check that they contain everything which you want and nothing that you are not willing to agree to.

Summary of some of your key rights:

The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that you have a 14 day right to change your mind and get a full refund on your digital content. You do not have this right to cancel once a download has started provided you have been told this and have acknowledged this.

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says digital content must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality.

If your digital content is faulty, you’re entitled to a repair or a replacement.

If the fault can’t be fixed, or if it hasn’t been fixed within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience, you can get some, or all of your money back.

If you can show the fault has damaged your device and we haven’t used reasonable care and skill, you may be entitled to a repair or compensation.

This is a summary of some of your key rights. For detailed information from Citizens Advice, please visit www.citizensadvice.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.
