We-Nup Terms and Conditions

If you buy services on our website wenup.co.uk (our ‘Website’) or following any interaction with us, you agree to be legally bound by these terms and conditions (‘Terms’). Please read them carefully before you place any orders for our services, as they set out important information about your and our rights and obligations.

Important Information

Your attention is particularly drawn to clause 4.2, clause 7 (Providing our services) and clause ‎13 (Our responsibility to you) of these Terms, which sets out important limits and exclusions of our liability to you.

You are responsible for the appropriate use and adaption of our nuptial agreement/s (‘Agreement/s’), and you recognise and accept that we are not providing legal advice (such as would be given by a solicitors' firm or barrister in private practice).

3. These Terms

  1. Any reference to ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’ in these Terms is to We-Nup, and any reference to ‘you’ or ‘your’ is to the person placing an order for services.
  2. We may make changes to these Terms at any time. However, the Terms that apply to your order will be those in force at the time you submitted your order to us.
  3. Please print out or save a copy of these Terms and any emails from us for your records, as we may not save or file a copy for you. These Terms are only available in English.
  4. If any provision or part-provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it shall be deemed deleted, but that shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of these Terms.

4. Orders

  1. For the purposes of these Terms, an “order” is a request by you to receive services from us.
  2. Before making an order for our services, please read our Website carefully to check that our services are suitable for your use.  It is entirely your responsibility to ensure that you are eligible to use our services and that they are suitable for your use.

  7. If we do not accept your order, for example because we are unable to take payment, the services are unavailable, you are under 18 or live outside of the UK, or there has been a mistake regarding the pricing or description of the services, we will email you using the details you provided when you placed your order.

5. Availability

All orders are subject to availability. We cannot guarantee that any service will be available at any given time. In certain circumstances beyond our reasonable control, for example where there has been a change in law, we may need to stop providing certain services. If this happens and it affects your order, we will notify you by email, cancel your order and provide you with a refund of any advance payments made by you for any services that have not yet been provided.

6. Making changes to your order

If you would like to make any changes to your order after you have submitted it, please contact us as soon as possible and we will let you know if it is possible to change your order.

  3. Our services are provided over a period of time, and our services include the requirement for you to obtain independent legal advice. You are required to be available for and attend a telecommunication conference with a legal adviser, which we will arrange on your behalf.

If you do not show up for your meeting with your appointed legal adviser, or are more than 10 minutes late for your meeting, you may be charged for additional legal time.
  7. Where a delay is caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, we will usually try to start or restart the services as soon as the issue causing the delay has been resolved. If the services are delayed by more than 7 days, we will email you to let you know and offer you the option to either continue waiting until the issue has been resolved (if this is possible) or to cancel your order and get a refund of any advance payments made by you for any services that have not yet been provided.
