You acknowledge that we are entitled to alter the amount or the basis of the calculation of our fees from time to time, provided that such amount or basis is clearly stated at the time when you agree to take up Our Service. Fees paid by a Member will not be rebated or refunded by us, unless Our Service for which the Member has subscribed is completely withdrawn from that Member by us other than in circumstances permitted under this Agreement.

The company may alter the design and specification of the site at any time.

We reserve the right (a) to suspend or terminate any Member's access to Our Service, or parts of it, and/or (b) to edit, or require the Member to edit, material posted on Our Website, if the relevant Member or material appears to us to be in breach of any provision of this Agreement. Any person whose access has been suspended or terminated must not re-register for, or re-access Our Service without our prior consent. You are responsible for everything which is done on or through Our Service while your Membership account is logged on to Our Service, or through your email address(es)

ADDITIONAL SERVICES
The Company or its affiliates may offer new or additional services through Our Website from time to time. Your use of those services may be subject to additional terms and conditions, or rules of use, which you must comply with. Provided that those terms or rules are notified to you on Our Website in an appropriate manner (as determined by architecturalassistant.com in its reasonable discretion), any failure by you to comply with a material provision of the terms or rules governing those services will amount to a breach of this Agreement.

ALERTING ARCHITECTURAL ASSISTANT.COM
If you see anything on the Our Website which appears to infringe this Agreement, then please contact us to inform us of it by emailing us here. We do not generally monitor material contributed by Members before it is placed on Our Website, and so we are reliant upon users to point out any which infringes this Agreement.

THE ROLE OF THE COMPANY
You acknowledge that we are not and cannot be responsible for the behaviour of Members whether on Our Website or outside of it. We only provide a venue Our Service may be accessed. In particular, you should be aware that architecturalassistant.com does not pre-screen or monitor the material contributed by Members.

DISCLAIMER AND RELEASE
The Company has no control over or responsibility for the truth or accuracy of any material available on Our Website, whether provided by Members or others. If any third party sites are linked to from Our Website, this does not mean that we endorse or have any responsibility for the site in question or anything, which appears on it. Your use of Our Service is entirely at your own risk. You should exercise no lesser degree of caution in appraising what you see on Our Website than you do offline. Even though Members are prohibited from doing so, people may provide information, or otherwise behave, in a way that is unreliable, misleading or even illegal. Further, you should note that people may not necessarily be who they say they are. Accordingly, to the extent that the law permits, you release The Company its directors, contractors and employees from all liability arising out of or in connection with Our Service and the material included here by Members and other third parties.

EXCLUDED LOSS
We will not be liable to you or any third party for any indirect or consequential loss or damage, or for any loss of data, profit, revenue or business, howsoever caused (whether arising out of any negligence or breach of this Agreement or otherwise). The Company will also not be liable for any failure to perform of its obligations under this Agreement caused by matters beyond its reasonable control.

MAXIMUM LIABILITY
Without limiting the preceding Clause, during any period of twelve months the aggregate liability of The Company under this Agreement (whether arising in negligence or otherwise) will not under any circumstances exceed the greater of (a) £25, or (b) an amount equal to the sums paid by you to us by way of Full Membership fees during the relevant period of twelve months, regardless of the cause or form of action.

NON-EXCLUDED LIABILITIES
Nothing in this Agreement limits The Company's liability for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence, or any other liability, which may not by law be excluded. Any statutory rights you may have as a consumer remain unaffected.

INDEMNITY
You agree to indemnify us against all liabilities, claims and expenses that may arise from any breach of this Agreement by you or through a machine on which you access Our Website and Our Service.
