3.4 In consideration of Bykerbabe agreeing to the member's use of the Site and its
Services (as defined in clause 9.1 below), the member agrees to comply with these
Terms and Conditions.
4. Fees and Services
4.1 Details of Bykerbabe's services are set out in full on the Site ("Services")
and will be undertaken by Bykerbabe on acceptance by Bykerbabe of your order to
purchase individual Services or to subscribe to several Services and payment in
full of the subscription fees for such relevant Services as correspondingly set
out on the Site ("Fees"). Each separate order for Services shall form and be treated
as a separate legal contract between you and Bykerbabe for provision of the relevant
Services, subject to these Terms and Conditions.
4.2 Bykerbabe reserves the right to change its fee policy and the Fees charged for
Services from time to time, with such changes become effective immediately upon
posting notice of the changes on the Forum of the Site. Unless otherwise stated,
all fees are quoted in UK Sterling. You are responsible for paying all fees associated
with using the Services and the Site and all applicable taxes.
4.3 You agree to pay to Bykerbabe the Fees for the Services you purchase from Bykerbabe,
subject to the terms of this Agreement. All Fees shall be payable by you in full
in advance and are non-refundable, subject to clause 5 below (Cancellation and Refunds
Policy).
4.4 Bykerbabe.com accepts no responsibility for taxes etc on transactions effected
as a direct or indirect result of the use of the Site. However, for persons based
in the EU (including the UK), VAT may apply in two ways:
• If you are a business, you may have to remit VAT on our services to you (under
'reverse charging').
• Whether you are a business or not, and whether you are buying or selling, VAT
may apply to your transactions. Please be aware that in some rare cases the amount
a seller nets from a sale may be less than the net value once VAT is paid. The complexity
of VAT (which applies differently in numerous countries, to different items, and
at different rates) means Bykerbabe cannot prevent some such occurrences. You accept
the risk that this affects you.
4.5 The Services shall be made reasonably available to you, subject to these Terms
and Conditions and subject to technical errors and downtime which may be associated
with the Internet and the Site. You acknowledge and accept that Bykerbabe has no
control over the Internet which is a global decentralised network of computer systems.
Access to the Site and Services shall not, therefore, be error free or uninterrupted
and may be disrupted and very variable.
4.6 The Site is maintained in partnership with Bykerbabe's hosting service providers.
Every effort is made to ensure the continuity of the Site and Services, but some
occasional technical downtime beyond our control and/or the control of our hosting
service provider may occur. You acknowledge and accept that such downtime may prevent
the Site being viewed and may restrict access to your subscription account or the
ability to access the Services from time to time.
4.7 You acknowledge and accept that the disclaimers and limitation of liability
relating to the Site and Services set out in clause 13 will apply.
4.8 In the event that any individual component of the Services is disputed then
the parties shall endeavour in good faith to reach agreement in relation to the
disputed Services. In the event that such dispute cannot be resolved, the matter
shall be referred for resolution to an independent expert as appointed on application
by either party by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators in the United Kingdom.
The parties agree to be bound by the decision made by such independent expert.

is shorter ("Consumer Cancellation Period"). If you are acting as a consumer and

acting as a consumer and cancel any contract for Services outside the Consumer Cancellation
Period, the Fees paid by you for the relevant Services shall be non-refundable.

not apply. Accordingly, if you are not acting as a consumer Bykerbabe's cancellation
policy is as follows: you may cancel any subscription to/purchase of Services during

20. General
20.1 This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of England
and Wales as if the Agreement was a contract wholly entered into and wholly performed
within England. The parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English
courts.

such provision shall be struck out of these Terms and Conditions and the remaining
provisions shall remain in force. Headings are for reference purposes only and in
no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section.
Bykerbabe's 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.
20.3 The laws of your country may be different from those of England and Wales in
numerous respects. There is no practical way for Bykerbabe to monitor the laws of
every country in detail. Please do not assume that you are allowed to do what other
members do. Bykerbabe.com does not approve or validate transactions, advice or communications,
and you accept sole responsibility for the legality of your actions under laws applying
to you.

products or services that may be offered on the Site. Please do not assume that
such items offered will be harmless to people or property.

responsible for checking that your activities are all lawful according to the local
laws in your country. If you and any other party are both based in the European
Union and enter into a transaction agreement of any kind through the site then the
seller's local law will govern further dealings as to shipment, payment etc. - unless
you both explicitly agree otherwise.
20.6 Note however, that your country (and/or that of any member you deal with) may
have some laws, which apply regardless of what you agree with us (now) or with that
member (later).
