Terms and conditions

pirkx TERMS AND CONDITIONS (for pirkx MEMBERS)

Last updated: 15 September 2021

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU APPLY FOR A MEMBERSHIP AND/OR USE THE pirkx PLATFORM. WE WOULD LIKE TO DRAW YOUR PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO CLAUSE 16 OF THESE TERMS, WHICH SETS OUT THE LIMITATIONS OF OUR LIABILITY TO YOU.

1. Purpose of these Terms

If you are looking at these Terms, it most likely means one of the following:

A pirkx Corporate Member (for example, your employer) has invited you to become a Paid-For pirkx Member, free of charge to you, to show you their appreciation and you would like to accept this invitation and apply to become a Paid-For pirkx Member;
A pirkx Corporate Member has invited you to become a Self-Paid pirkx Member and you would like to accept the invitation and apply to become a Self-Paid pirkx Member;
You are no longer a Paid-For pirkx Member but would like to continue being a pirkx Member and are therefore applying to become a Self-Paid pirkx Member; or
You have otherwise heard about pirkx and are therefore applying to become a Self-Paid pirkx Member; or
You are a pirkx Member and would like to read the current version of the terms and conditions that apply to our pirkx Platform and the Membership Services we provide.

Either way, welcome (again) to pirkx!

These Terms explain who can become a pirkx Member, what you have to do to become a pirkx Member and the basis on which we make the pirkx Platform available, and provide our Membership Services, to pirkx Members from time to time. They also contain some further information about our Membership Programmes and our pirkx Suppliers. pirkx Suppliers are the third parties we have selected to provide the Benefits that form part of our Membership Programmes.

We have given some words and expressions a specific meaning in these Terms. For example, when we use the term “Business Day” in these Terms this means “any day other than Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday on which banks in London are open for business”. You can find a list of the relevant words and expressions and the meaning we have given to them at Schedule 1 of these Terms.

These Terms apply irrespective whether you access the pirkx Platform via the Website or via the pirkx App.

2. WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE WILL DO FOR YOU

2.1The pirkx Platform is operated and the Membership Services are provided by pirkx Limited (pirkx, we, us, ours). We are a company registered in England and Wales under company number 11303113. Our registered office address is c/o Ground Floor 6 Queen Street Leeds West Yorkshire LS1 2TW.
Our VAT number is 303906230.
2.2Our aim is to give pirkx Members access to Benefits that we feel can really make a difference to their overall wellbeing. If we spot something that ticks all of our boxes, we arrange for the relevant pirkx Supplier to make the Benefit available to our pirkx Members through the pirkx Platform as part of one of our Membership Programmes.
2.3In other words, we give you access to the Benefits, but unless we have expressly stated otherwise on the pirkx Platform, we do not actually supply the relevant Benefit or the underlying products or services to you. Our pirkx Suppliers do that. When a Benefit involves the purchase of a product or service, your purchase will therefore not be made from pirkx: it will made directly from the relevant pirkx Supplier.
2.4pirkx is not regulated or authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority for the sales and marketing of financial services and insurance products. We may provide the opportunity for you to be introduced to financial services products providers and the responsibility for the promotion and marketing, as well as the suitability of product sales will lie with them and not pirkx. Please refer all enquiries in respect of financial services products directly to the relevant product provider or insurer.
2.5Please note that the pirkx Platform, our Membership Services, Membership Programmes and all Benefits are for your personal and private use only and that you are not permitted to use any of them for commercial, business or re-sale purposes. If we have reasonable grounds to believe that you do use the pirkx Platform or any of our Membership Services, Membership Programmes or Benefit for commercial, business or re-sale purposes then we may without prejudice to any other rights or remedies:
1. immediately, temporarily or permanently suspend of your access to the pirkx Platform; and/or
2. immediately terminate your Membership.
2.6If you would like to get in touch with us or have any questions, please email us on hello@pirkx.com or call us on +44 (0) 20 3963 2685.
2.7If we have to contact you, we will write to you at the email address you provided to us when you first applied for your pirkx Membership (as updated by you from time to time using the relevant functionality of your Membership Account).
2.8When we:
1. use the words "writing" or "written" in these Terms, this includes email; and
2. refer to pirkx' consent, authorisation or permission in these Terms, such consent, authorisation or permission will be in our entire discretion.

3. BY APPLYING FOR A PIRKX MEMBERSHIP OR RENEWING A PIRKX MEMBERSHIP AND BY USING OUR PLATFORM YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS

1. Your Membership Application Form;

4. our Cookie Policy which sets out information about the cookies on our Website.
3.2Please note that some Membership Services, Membership Programmes or Benefits are subject to Additional Terms. These are either set out in the Schedules to these Terms or either we or the relevant pirkx Supplier will tell you about their existence when you access the relevant Membership Service, Membership Programme or Benefit. Please read all Additional Terms carefully as they may amend, modify or supplement these Terms. By accessing the relevant Membership Service, Membership Programme and/or Benefit you accept the relevant Additional Terms.
3.3If you do not agree with any of the above, you should not apply for a Membership, renew your Membership or use our pirkx Platform.

4. Changes to these Terms and to our pirkx Platform

4.1You can find the date on which these Terms have come into effect above.

Any such changes will take effect immediately upon posting of the updated Terms on the pirkx Platform.
4.2We may also update and make changes to the pirkx Platform from time to time to make changes to our Membership Programmes, to update the pirkx Platform’s functionality and/or to address our pirkx Members’, pirkx Corporate Members’ or pirkx Suppliers’ needs.
4.3We will let you know in writing if we make any changes to these Terms that require any action from you.
4.4If you do not agree to any of the changes we make to from time to time, you should stop using the pirkx Platform. Otherwise, your continued use of the pirkx Platform after any such changes will constitute your acknowledgement and agreement to such changes.

5.1Neither our Membership Services nor the contents of our Website or our pirkx Platform are targeted at persons under the age of 18 and we only provide our Membership Services to persons 18 years of age or older. If you are under 18 years old, you will not be able to become a pirkx Member and should therefore not apply for a Membership.
5.2Our Membership Services are also only directed at persons who are resident in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and the information contained on our Website and our pirkx Platform should not be regarded as an offer or solicitation to conduct business in any jurisdiction other than England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. If you reside in Australia please visit the pirkx Australia website. If you reside anywhere else, we would love to be able to welcome you as a pirkx Member but we are unfortunately for legal and regulatory reasons unable to do so at the moment. We will update our Website and these Terms as necessary if and when this changes so please revisit our Website from time to time and check for updates.
5.3By applying for a Membership and/or accessing the pirkx Platform you warrant and represent that:
1. You are at least 18 years old;
2. You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and
3. You reside in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
5.4We reserve the right to immediately, temporarily or permanently suspend your access to the pirkx Platform and/or immediately terminate your Membership if we have reasonable grounds to believe that you are in breach of clause 5.3 above.

6. HOW TO BECOME A pirkx MEMBER

6.1If you would like to become a pirkx Member please complete and submit our Membership Application Form. The Membership Application Form will ask you to confirm, amongst others:
1. the Membership Plan you wish to subscribe for; and
2. your chosen Initial Subscription Period.
6.2If you have been invited by a pirkx Corporate Member to apply for a Membership some of the information that you need to give to us in the Membership Application Form (such as your name and email address, the chosen Membership Plan and the chosen Initial Subscription Period) will have already been provided to us by the relevant pirkx Corporate Member.
6.3Please note that the submission of a completed Membership Application Form constitutes an offer from you to us to subscribe for the relevant Membership Plan and Initial Subscription Term and that we have no obligation to accept such offer. We may reject your application without explanation and we will not be liable to provide any proposals for suggested alternative solutions, or compensation for any loss of benefits. We will inform as you soon as reasonably practicable by email to the email address you have provided in the online Membership Application Form if we have decided to accept your offer.
6.4We reserve the right to undertake due diligence checks and background searches on you and/or contact you to confirm your identity, either when you first apply for a Membership or at any time thereafter while you are a pirkx Member.
6.5It is very important for both you and us that you keep your details correct and up-to-date at all times so please make sure that you provide us with true, accurate and complete information when completing the online Membership Application Form. After you have become a pirkx Member please update the relevant information from time to time as necessary, using the relevant functionality of your Membership Account. If we become aware that any information you have provided us with in connection with your Membership or Membership Account is inaccurate, untrue or incomplete we may immediately, temporarily or permanently suspend or cancel your access to the pirkx Platform and/or terminate your Membership.

7.pirkx MEMBERSHIPS AND SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD

7.1Please visit our Website for details of the available types of Membership Plans and the respectively available Subscription Periods.
7.2Your Membership will run for the Initial Subscription Period and each Renewal Period.

8.SUBSCRIPTION FEES AND HOW TO PAY THEM

8.1Please visit our Website for details of our applicable Subscription Fees from time to time.
8.2Unless expressly stated otherwise, all Subscription Fees are inclusive of VAT or any other similar tax which may be applicable.
8.3The Subscription Fee for the each Subscription Period from time to time is due and payable in advance on the first Business Day of the relevant Subscription Period.
8.4Other than the Subscription Fee for your Initial Subscription Period (which is paid by credit card or debit card), all Subscription Fees are paid by direct debit. If you are applying to become a Self-Paid pirkx Member we will therefore ask you to provide the necessary payment details to our Payment Processor when you submit your Membership Application Form to us. You may receive an acknowledgement from our Payment Processor advising you whether or not your direct debit has been authorised. pirkx does not store your relevant credit card or debit card details, however.
8.5Subscription Fees are non-refundable and we will not provide you with any refunds or credits if your Membership is terminated by you or by us, in each case for any reason. This applies irrespective whether the termination takes effect at the end of, or at any time during, a Subscription Period.
8.6If you are a Self-Paid pirkx Member and fail to pay any applicable Subscription Fee from time to time when due, then we may without prejudice to any other rights or remedies:
1. immediately, temporarily or permanently suspend of your access to the pirkx Platform; and/or
2. immediately terminate your Membership.
8.7If you are a Paid-For pirkx Member and the pirkx Corporate Member that has committed to paying your Subscription Fees fails to pay any applicable Subscription Fee from time to time when due, then clause 9.2 will apply.
8.8We may change our Subscription Fees from time to time. If the Subscription Fees for the type of Membership Plan you have subscribed for change, we will provide you with no less than 30 days’ prior notice of the relevant change. You will be deemed to have received such notice on the later of the date on which we send the notice to the email address listed in your Membership Account or the date on which we post the relevant change on the pirkx Platform. Any change so notified to you will take effect on the date stated in the relevant notice or post. For the avoidance of doubt, if the date stated falls within your current Subscription Period (as on the date you are deemed to have received the notice) then the relevant change will only apply to you when you next renew your pirkx Membership.

9. HOW TO RENEW A pirkx MEMBERSHIP AND HOW TO TERMINATE IT

9.1If you are a Self-Paid pirkx Member then your Membership Account features an automatic renewal box (Renewal Box). While the Renewal Box is ticked, your Membership will upon expiry of a Subscription Period automatically renew for the same Subscription Period. Please note that the Renewal Box will be pre-ticked when you first become a pirkx Member! If you no longer wish to automatically renew your Membership from time to time, please let us know by unticking the Renewal Box. Please note that it will take 3 Business Days for this notice to take effect. If you untick the Renewal Box any later than 4 Business Days before the end of your then current Subscription Period, your Membership will therefore automatically renew one more time (for the same Renewal Period) and payment of the relevant Subscription Fee will be taken from your account by direct debit in the normal way. If you chose not to renew your Membership from time to time it will automatically terminate upon expiry of your relevant last Subscription Period.
9.2If you are a Paid-For pirkx Member, then it is up to the pirkx Corporate Member that pays your Subscription Fees to renew your pirkx Membership from time to time. If the relevant pirkx Corporate Member should at some point not renew your pirkx Membership or otherwise fail to pay any applicable Subscription Fees when due we will let you know that this is the case and give you 14 days from the end of the last Subscription Period for which the relevant pirkx Corporate Member has paid your Subscription Fee
1. to decide whether you would like to renew your pirkx Membership as a Self-Paid pirkx Member; and
2. if you should not wish to become a Self-Paid pirkx Member, to remove any relevant cashback balance then standing to the credit of your pirkx wallet from the same in accordance with the relevant Additional Terms.
9.3During the 14 day period referred to in clause 9.2 you may access your Membership Account to sign up as a Self-Paid pirkx Member or to attend to clause 9.2(b) but you may no longer access any Membership Programmes or obtain any new Benefits.
9.4If you have not renewed your pirkx Membership as a Self-Paid pirkx Member by the end of the 14 day period referred to in clause 9.2, then
1. your pirkx Membership will be deemed to have terminated with effect from the end of the last Subscription Period for which the relevant pirkx Corporate Member has paid your Subscription Fee; and
2. any then remaining cashback balance standing to the credit of your pirkx wallet can no longer be removed by you and will be forfeit.
9.5You can terminate your Membership at any time by giving us written notice to technicalsupport@pirkx.com. For the avoidance of doubt, we will not refund the Subscription Fee for the Subscription Period during which we receive such notice from you.
9.6Without prejudice to the other provisions of these Terms pirkx may terminate your Membership at any time by giving you prior written notice as follows:
1. Five (5) Business Days if your relevant Subscription Period is a month;
2. Ten (10) Business Days if your relevant Subscription Period is a quarter; and
3. Twenty (20) Business Days if your relevant Subscription Period is a year.
9.7If your pirkx Membership terminates for any reason:
1. You will immediately cease to have access to the pirkx Platform and your Membership Account;
2. You will not be able to obtain any new Benefits and will not be able to redeem or use any Benefits purchased from a pirkx Supplier prior to the date of termination if such redemption or use would require you to have access to your Membership Account;
3. any amount standing to the credit of your pirkx wallet on the date of such termination will be forfeit; and
4. We will delete your Membership Account.
9.8You are able to delete your Membership Account yourself at any time by using the relevant functionality on your Membership Account. If you choose to delete your Membership Account, your Membership will automatically terminate with effect from the date of this deletion.

10. YOUR ACCESS TO THE pirkx PLATFORM AND ONLINE SECURITY

10.1Your Membership Account is personal to you and you must not allow anyone else to access your Membership Account. If and when you access the pirkx Platform from a shared device, please therefore make sure that you always log out of your Membership Account when you leave the pirkx Platform.
10.2You must keep your pirkx password secure and confidential and not share this with anyone. The same applies to any other information that we may provide you with as part of our security procedures from time to time. If and when you choose your own password, please use a strong password and change your password on a regular basis to make it hard for someone else to use your Membership Account without your consent.
10.3Please let us know immediately at technicalsupport@pirkx.com if you become aware or suspect that anyone other than you knows, uses or has used your login details for your Membership Account.
10.4If we suspect that your login details are used by someone other than you we may
1. temporarily or permanently disable your log in details; and/or
2. require you to change your password.
10.5Our pirkx tech team has put a lot of security measures in place to keep the pirkx Platform secure. However, we can nevertheless not guarantee that the pirkx Platform will be absolutely secure or free from any Virus or Vulnerabilities and you should protect any device you are using to access the pirkx Platform by using a suitable virus protection software.
10.6We require all pirkx Members to respect the security of the pirkx Platform and not to misuse it. Our Acceptable Use Policy includes details what this in practice means for you. If we have reasons to believe that you are in breach our Acceptable Use Policy, then we may without prejudice to any other rights or remedies:
1. immediately, temporarily or permanently suspend your access to the pirkx Platform;
2. if you are a Paid-For pirkx Member, notify the pirkx Corporate Member that is paying your Subscription Fees; and/or
3. immediately terminate your Membership.
10.7If you are a Paid-For pirkx Member and the pirkx Corporate Member that pays your Subscription Fees decides to no longer to do so you will need to apply to become a Self-Paid pirkx Member after expiry of your last Subscription Period as a Paid-For pirkx Member if you would like to continue having access to the pirkx Platform.

11. Personalised Cashback and Discounts portals and your access to the same

11.1pirkx Corporate Members have the ability to create Personalised Cashback and Discounts Portals on the pirkx Platform and to make these accessible to all or some of their Invited Members. In this case, the relevant pirkx Corporate Member can decide which Designated Membership Programmes are accessible to such Invited Members through the relevant Personalised Cashback and Discounts Portal. A Personalised Cashback and Discounts Portal can also give Invited Members access to certain additional text, information, data, images, links, audio or video material, features and third party services that are not part of pirkx Content, our Membership Services or Membership Programmes. Please note that all of these Personalised Cashback and Discounts Portal Features are sourced entirely by, and are the sole responsibility of, the relevant pirkx Corporate Member. We do not screen Personalised Cashback and Discounts Portal Features and accept no responsibility or liability for any Personalised Cashback and Discounts Portal Features.
11.2If you are accessing the pirkx Platform through any Personalised Cashback and Discounts Portal from time to time and the pirkx Corporate Member that has created such Personalised Cashback and Discounts Portal either deletes the Personalised Cashback and Discounts Portal, ceases to be a pirkx Corporate Member for any reason or simply decides to no longer give you access to the relevant Personalised Cashback and Discounts Portal (which is entirely in the pirkx Corporate Member’s discretion) you will continue to have access to the pirkx Platform while you remain a pirkx Member, however, you will no longer be able to access the Personalised Cashback and Discounts Portal and/or access or use any relevant Personalised Cashback and Discounts Portal Features.

12. Availability of our pirkx Platform and links to other websites

12.1The pirkx Platform is provided via the internet and interruptions, delays and other technical problems are an inevitable element of the provision of any and all services via the internet. We cannot therefore guarantee, warrant or represent (whether implied or expressly) that the pirkx Platform, or any content on the pirkx Platform, will always be available or accessible or be uninterrupted.
12.2We reserve the right to suspend, withdraw or restrict the availability of all or any part of the pirkx Platform (including for the avoidance of doubt any Personalised Cashback and Discounts Portal), for example for security, maintenance or operational reasons. If you experience any technical difficulties with the pirkx Platform please contact us by email on: technicalsupport@pirkx.com.
12.3Our pirkx Platform contains links to other websites and resources provided by third parties (including websites operated by our pirkx Suppliers). These links are provided for your information only and do not mean that we have approved the relevant linked websites or any information you may obtain from them. The responsibility for the operation and content of these websites rests solely with the authority or organisation identified as controlling the relevant website and will be governed by separate terms and conditions. We accept no responsibility for the security, content or privacy practices of such external websites.

13. Benefits

13.1All Membership Programmes and all individual Benefits are subject to availability. We work hard to give our pirkx Members access to a wide choice of attractive Benefits. However, we rely on our pirkx Suppliers to make these Benefits available and provide the underlying products or services to our pirkx Members. As a result, we cannot guarantee and we do not warrant or represent that any Membership Programme or individual Benefit (including for the avoidance of doubt any cash back offers) will always be available or that they will always be provided on the same terms.
13.2As the Benefits and/or the products or services that underly the Benefits are provided by our pirkx Suppliers, they are subject to the relevant Additional Terms and/or pirkx Supplier’s terms and conditions of supply. We do not make any warranty or representation as to the quality or suitability of any Benefits or pirkx Suppliers and we do not give you any advice in respect of the quality or suitability of a Benefit that is available through the pirkx Platform. We cannot be responsible for the pirkx Supplier’s performance of their obligations, including any losses or damage suffered by you as a result of the pirkx Supplier’s supply of products or services to you or their failure to supply or comply with applicable laws and regulations. If you are not satisfied with a pirkx Supplier’s service or product, please therefore contact the relevant pirkx Supplier in the first instance.
13.3As part of a Membership Programme we may from time to time provide you with the opportunity for you to be introduced to financial services products providers and the responsibility for the promotion and marketing, as well as the suitability of product sales will lie with them and not pirkx. Please refer all enquiries in respect of financial services products directly to the relevant product provider or insurer.
13.4The contents of our pirkx Platform do not override the governing documents of any plans that are issued directly to you from any insurance product provider. In line with financial services legislation and/or the insurance product provider’s terms and conditions there may be restrictions placed on policy eligibility for which we hold no responsibility. The insurance provider is and remains responsible for informing you of insurance policy terms and conditions as well as features, benefits, risk commitments, remuneration terms and statutory cancellation rights. We accept no responsibility for the suitability of insurance products which are introduced to you through the pirkx Platform.

14. pirkx Platform content and intellectual property rights

14.1The pirkx Content is not intended to amount to advice on which you should rely and is provided for general information purposes only. We try to update the pirkx Content published on the pirkx Platform from time to time, but we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the pirkx Content is accurate, complete or up to date.
14.2Please note that any information and materials that are supplied by our pirkx Suppliers and are published on the pirkx Platform are not verified or approved by us, and that we cannot guarantee that any such information and materials is accurate, complete and/or up-to-date.

pirkx TERMS AND CONDITIONS (for pirkx CORPORATE MEMBERS)

Last updated: 15 September 2021

Please read these Terms carefully before you apply for a corporate Membership and/or use the pirkx Platform.

1. Purpose of these Terms

If you are looking at these Terms, it likely means that:

A pirkx Member or pirkx Corporate Member has invited you to become a pirkx Corporate Member and you would like to accept this invitation and apply to become a pirkx Corporate Member;
You have otherwise heard about pirkx and would like to apply to become a pirkx Corporate Member; or
You already are a pirkx Corporate Member and would like to read the current version of the terms and conditions that apply to the pirkx Platform and your use of the Corporate Membership Services.

Either way, welcome (again) to pirkx!

These Terms explain who can become a pirkx Corporate Member, what you have to do to become a pirkx Corporate Member and the basis on which we make our pirkx Platform available, and provide our Corporate Membership Services, to pirkx Corporate Members from time to time.

We have given some words and expressions a specific meaning in these Terms. For example "Business Day" means "any day other than Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday on which banks in London are open for business". You can find a list of the relevant words and expressions and the meaning we have given to them at Schedule 1 of these Terms.

These Terms apply irrespective whether you access our pirkx Platform via the Website or via the pirkx App.

2. Who we are and what we do for pirkx corporate members

2.1The pirkx Platform is operated and the Corporate Membership Services are provided by pirkx Limited (pirkx, we, us, ours). We are a company registered in England and Wales under company number 11303113. Our registered office address is c/o Ground Floor 6 Queen Street Leeds West Yorkshire LS1 2TW.
Our VAT number is 303906230.
2.2Our aim is to give pirkx Members access to Benefits that we feel can really make a difference to their overall wellbeing. If we spot something that ticks all of our boxes, we arrange for the relevant pirkx Supplier to make the Benefit available to our pirkx Members through the pirkx Platform as part of one of our Membership Programmes.
2.3To that end, we give UK Organisations that are pirkx Corporate Members the ability, through the functionalities of their Corporate Membership Account, amongst others:
1. to invite their Workforce Members and/or their Clients to apply for a Membership and become a pirkx Member, either on the basis that the pirkx Corporate Member will pay the invitee's Subscription Fees (in which case the invitee can apply to become a Paid-For pirkx Member) or on the basis that the invitee will have to pay his/her Subscription Fees himself/herself (in which case the invitee can apply to become a Self-Paid pirkx Member);
2. to invite their Customers to apply to become a pirkx Corporate Member;
3. to create and administer Personalised Cashback and Discounts Portals through which their Invited Members access our pirkx Platform; and
4. to add Personalised Cashback and Discounts Portal Features to each Personalised Cashback and Discounts Portal.
2.4Please note that:
1. when any Workforce Member, Client or Customer of a pirkx Corporate Member submits a completed Membership Application Form to us this constitutes an offer from him/her/it to us to become a pirkx Member or pirkx Corporate Member (as the case may be) and that we have no obligation to accept such offer and may reject any such application without explanation;
2. irrespective of whether the recipient of an invitation from a pirkx Corporate Member receives an invitation to become a Paid-For pirkx Member, a Self-Paid pirkx Member or pirkx Corporate Member, their application to become a pirkx Member or pirkx Corporate Member and our acceptance of the same will create an independent contractual relationship between us and the relevant Paid-For pirkx Member, Self-Paid pirkx Member or pirkx Corporate Member, governed by our Individual Member T&Cs (in the case of a pirkx Member) or these Terms (in the case of a pirkx Corporate Member); and
3. you must not, and will procure that your Authorised Personnel will not, use all or any part of the pirkx Platform or our Corporate Membership Services to provide commercial services to any third parties save as expressly agreed with us in writing, such agreement being in our entire discretion.
2.5We may occasionally come across products or services that we feel may be of interest to our pirkx Corporate Members (Corporate Benefits) and that we may therefore allow the relevant pirkx Supplier to make available to pirkx Corporate Members through the pirkx Platform. Corporate Benefits, if any, will be brought to your attention in your Corporate Membership Account.
2.6Please note that we will in that case give you access to such Corporate Benefits, but unless we expressly state otherwise at the relevant time, we do not actually supply the relevant Corporate Benefit or the underlying products or services to you. Our pirkx Suppliers do that. When a Corporate Benefit involves the purchase of a product or service, your purchase will therefore not be made from pirkx: it will made directly from the relevant pirkx Supplier and Additional Terms may apply. We do not make any warranty or representation as to the quality or suitability of any Corporate Benefits or pirkx Suppliers and we do not give you any advice in respect of the quality or suitability of a Corporate Benefit that is available through the pirkx Platform. We cannot be responsible for the pirkx Supplier's performance of their obligations, including any losses or damage suffered by you as a result of the pirkx Supplier's supply of products or services to you or their failure to supply or comply with applicable laws and regulations. If you are not satisfied with a pirkx Supplier's service or product, please therefore contact the relevant pirkx Supplier.
2.7pirkx is not regulated or authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority for the sales and marketing of financial services and insurance products. We may provide the opportunity for you to be introduced to financial services products providers and the responsibility for the promotion and marketing, as well as the suitability of product sales will lie with them and not pirkx. Please refer all enquiries in respect of financial services products directly to the relevant product provider or insurer.
2.8If you would like to get in touch with us or have any questions, please email us on hello@pirkx.com or call us on +44 (0) 20 3963 2685.
2.9If we have to contact you we will write to you at the email address you provided to us when you first applied for your Corporate Membership (as updated by you from time to time using the relevant functionality of your Corporate Membership Account).
2.10When we:
1. use the words "writing" or "written" in these Terms, this includes email; and
2. refer to pirkx' consent, authorisation or permission in these Terms, such consent, authorisation or permission will be in our entire discretion.

4.3We will let you know in writing if we make any changes to these Terms that require any action from you.
4.4If you do not agree to any of the changes we make to from time to time, you should stop using the pirkx Platform. Otherwise, your continued use of the pirkx Platform after any such changes will constitute your acknowledgement and agreement to such changes.

5. Who can become a pirkx Corporate Member and how to become a pirkx corporate member

5.1If you would like to become a pirkx Corporate Member please complete and submit our Membership Application Form.
5.2In principle, any UK Organisation can become a pirkx Corporate Member. However, please note that the submission of a completed Membership Application Form constitutes an offer from you to us to become a pirkx Corporate Member and that we have no obligation to accept such offer.

We will inform as you soon as reasonably practicable by email to the email address you have provided in the Membership Application Form if we have decided to accept your offer.
5.3We reserve the right:
1. to undertake due diligence checks and background searches on you and/or contact you to confirm your identity, either when you first apply for a Corporate Membership or at any time thereafter while you are a pirkx Corporate Member; and
2. to immediately, temporarily or permanently suspend your access to the pirkx Platform and/or immediately terminate your Corporate Membership if we have reasonable grounds to believe that you are not a UK Organisation.
5.4It is very important for both you and us that you keep your details correct and up-to-date at all times so please make sure that you provide us with true, accurate and complete information when completing the online Membership Application Form. After you have become a pirkx Corporate Member please update the relevant information from time to time as necessary, using the relevant functionality of your Corporate Membership Account.

6. paying the subscription fees for invited members

6.1When you send an invitation to a Workforce Member or Client to become a pirkx Member you can opt to pay the Subscription Fees for the relevant Invited Member's pirkx Membership. Where you opt to do so, we will ask you to choose a Membership Plan and the applicable Initial Subscription Period for his/her pirkx Membership.
6.2Please visit our Website for details of the available Membership Plans, Subscription Periods and applicable Subscription Fees.
6.3By inviting a Workforce Member or Client to become a pirkx Member you warrant and represent to us that such invited Workforce Member or Client:
1. is at least 18 years old; and
2. resides in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.

1. While the Renewal Box is ticked, the Invited Member's pirkx Membership will upon expiry of a Subscription Period automatically renew for the same Subscription Period (Renewal Period).
2. If you no longer wish to automatically renew an Invited Member's pirkx Membership from time to time, please let us know by unticking the Renewal Box. Please note that it will take 3 Business Days for this notice to take effect.
