Free Trial
CSS may, in its sole discretion, offer you a free trial period of 14 days (“Free Trial”). A Free Trial will only be offered to you for certain Services, or if you have not previously redeemed a Free Trial. The Free Trial will automatically convert into a paid Subscription at the end of the Free Trial period.
Subscription Plans
When you sign up for one of our digital subscriptions (“Subscription”) you will have the option to select one of our current subscription plans (a “Plan”). Each Plan will start on the day you sign up or reactivate a pre-existing Subscription and make payment via a valid payment method.
Monthly Subscription Plan and payment. Each billing cycle for a Subscription billed on a monthly Plan is one calendar month in length. Your Subscription will automatically renew each month, and you will be automatically billed the monthly Plan fee to your payment method each month, unless or until your Subscription is cancelled or terminated. You will be billed on the same date each month which will be the date you signed up. Where such date does not exist in a particular renewal month, you will be billed on the day immediately preceding the date of expiry of your current Subscription. For example:
- If you sign up on the 15 August, you will be billed on 15th day of each subsequent month.
- If you signed up on the 31 August you will next be billed on September 30th.
Yearly Subscription and payment. Each billing cycle for a yearly Subscription is one calendar year in length. Your Subscription will automatically renew each year. We will automatically bill the yearly subscription fee to your payment method each year, unless or until your Subscription is cancelled or terminated. You will be billed on the same date each year. So, if you sign up on 15 January 2024 you will be billed on 15 January of each subsequent year.
By continuing your Subscription, you authorise billing your payment method accordingly.
We may make changes to your Subscription, which could include price changes. Should there be any material changes to your Subscription, including any changes to the price, we will notify you at least 30 days in advance. We will provide this notice to you via the email address associated with your account. If you do not agree with the changes, you may terminate your Subscription, in accordance with these Terms.

You can't change your mind about an order for digital products, after you have started to download or stream these.
The deadline for changing your mind
If you change your mind about using the Services you must let us know no later than 14 days after the day we confirm we have accepted your order for a paid Subscription, if it is for digital content for download or streaming, although you can't change your mind about digital content once we have started providing it.
How to let us know. To let us know you want to change your mind, contact our Customer Service Team: hello@cambridgesleepsciences.com.
When and how we refund you. If the Services you are accessing are digital content (and you have not started to use the Services) we refund you as soon as possible and within 14 days of you telling us you've changed your mind. We refund you by the method you used for payment. We don't charge a fee for the refund.
You can end an on-going contract (find out how)
We tell you when and how you can end an on-going contract with us (for example, a subscription to digital content) during the order process and we confirm this information to you in writing after we've accepted your order. If you have any questions, please contact our Customer Service Team: hello@cambridgesleepsciences.com.
For Subscriptions, you may cancel your Plan at any time before your Plan renews, by going into the Cambridge Sleep Science App subscription settings on your device and cancelling your Plan. To do this, simply login to the App, go to [TBC... profile > manage subscription > select ‘cancel my plan’].
You have rights if there is something wrong with your Services
If you think there is something wrong with your Services, you must contact our Customer Service Team: hello@cambridgesleepsciences.com. We honour our legal duty to provide you with Services that are as described to you on our website and that meet all the requirements imposed by law.
Your legal rights are summarised below. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.citizensadvice.org.uk.
Summary of your key legal rights
If your product is digital content, 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.
8. Our legal rights
We can change Services and these Terms
Changes we can always make. We can always change a Service:
- to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.
- to make minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These are changes that don't affect your use of the Services; and
- to update digital content, provided that the digital content always matches the description of it that we provided to you before you bought it. We might ask you to install these updates.
Changes we can only make if we give you notice and an option to terminate. We can also make the following types of change to the Services or these Terms, but if we do so we'll notify you and you can then contact our Customer Service Team: [XXXXXXXXX] to end the contract before the change takes effect and receive a refund for any Services you've paid for in advance, but not received:
- variation to the description of the Services;
We can suspend supply (and you have rights if we do)
We can suspend the supply of part or all of the Services. We do this to:
- deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
- update the Services to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; or
- make changes to the Services.
We let you know, may adjust the price and may allow you to terminate. We contact you in advance to tell you we're suspending supply, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we suspend the Services for longer than 1 month we adjust the price so you don't pay for it while it’s suspended. If we suspend supply, or tell you we're going to suspend supply, for more than 1 month you can contact our Customer Service Team: [XXXXXXXX] to end the contract and we'll refund any sums you've paid in advance for Services you won't receive.
We can withdraw Services
We can stop providing any or all of the Services, such as a Subscription for digital content. We let you know at least 30 days in advance, and we refund any sums you've paid in advance for Services which won't be provided.
We can end our contract with you
We can end our contract with you for Services and claim any compensation due to us if:
- you don't make any payment to us when it's due and you still don't make payment within 14 days of our reminding you that payment is due;
- you don't, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information, cooperation or access that we need to provide the Services;
- you don't, within a reasonable time, allow us to provide the Services.
We don't compensate you for all losses caused by us, our App, or our Services
We're responsible for losses you suffer caused by us breaking this contract unless the loss is:
- Unexpected. It was not obvious that it would happen and nothing you said to us before we accepted your order meant we should have expected it (so, in the law, the loss was unforeseeable).
- Caused by a delaying event outside our control. As long as we have taken the steps set out in these Terms.
- Avoidable. Something you could have avoided by taking reasonable action. For example, damage to your own digital content or device, which was caused by digital content we supplied and which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply a free update or by correctly following the installation instructions or having the minimum system requirements advised by us.

10. General
Support and how to resolve a dispute with us
Support. If you want to learn more about the App or the Service or have any problems using them, please take a look at our support resources found on our App at [XXXXXX].
Our complaints policy. Our Customer Service Team will do their best to resolve any problems you have with us, our App, or our Services
Resolving disputes without going to court. Alternative dispute resolution is an optional process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. You can submit a complaint to the Centre for Dispute Resolution (CEDR) through their website at https://www.cedr.com/. CEDR does not charge you for making a complaint and if you're not satisfied with the outcome you can still go to court.
You can go to court. These terms are governed by English law and wherever you live you can bring claims against us in the English courts. If you live in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring claims against us in the courts of the country you live in. We can claim against you in the courts of the country you live in.
Other important terms apply to our contract
We can transfer our contract with you, so that a different organisation is responsible for supplying the Services. We'll tell you in writing if this happens and we'll ensure that the transfer won't affect your rights under the contract.
You can only transfer your contract with us to someone else if we agree to this. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree in writing.
Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. Nobody else can enforce it and neither of us will need to ask anybody else to sign-off on ending or changing it.
If a court invalidates some of this contract, the rest of it will still apply. If a court or other authority decides that some of these terms are unlawful, the rest will continue to apply.
Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. We might not immediately chase you for not doing something (like paying) or for doing something you're not allowed to, but that doesn’t mean we can't do it later.
