    Terms and Conditions of the use for the Social Media Portal “Coffee Break” - Box Office and Direct Marketing Social Platform “Coffee Break” is a brand / Registered Trade mark of PHMC GPE LLC (“PHMC”) .  These Terms and Conditions apply when you access https://phmcgpe.net (“FEAC”). These Terms and Conditions are for your benefit and you should read them before using our services. Having read them, if you find you cannot agree to them, you must not use our website. If, however, you agree to them unconditionally, (as we are sure that you will) please continue on and use ……. PHMC may amend these Terms and Conditions at any time by posting the amended Terms and Conditions on our web site, «FEAC», and directing registered users to such changes by email. Except as stated below, all amended Terms and Conditions shall be automatically effective after they are posted on «FEAC». 1. Membership of «FEAC» To use our services you must have capacity to form legally binding contracts under the laws of USA.  If you are an individual user (as distinct from a corporate user) you must be over the age of 18. If you fall outside of these requirements, you are not permitted to use our services and no contract will be formed between you and PHMC and any services extended to you as a member will be terminated. 2. Formation of Contract 2.1 As stated above, in order that a legally binding contract can be formed between PHMC and a member eligible under clause 1 above, the member is required to accept these Terms and Conditions unconditionally by clicking the 'I accept' checkbox during the registration process. 2.2 PHMC, in its absolute discretion reserves the right to refuse, suspend or cancel membership of any member. 2.3 In consideration of PHMC agreeing to the member's use of «FEAC»and its Services (as defined in clause 9.1 below), the member agrees to comply with these Terms and Conditions. 3. Fees and Services 3.1 The services provided on «FEAC»are listed in full on the site (the “Services”) and will be provided through «FEAC»by PHMC on PHMC’s acceptance of your order to purchase the relevant membership level and on receipt of payment for the relevant Services (the “Fees”). Each membership that you may take out will be treated as a separate legal contract between you and PHMC for provision of the relevant Services, subject to these Terms and Conditions. 3.2 The Fees are the fees quoted on «FEAC»and as such may change from time to time.  The Fees appearing on «FEAC»are what will be charged for new or renewed memberships from the date quoted. All fees are in UK Sterling. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with using the Services and «FEAC»and all applicable taxes. 3.3 All Fees shall be payable by you in full in advance and are non-refundable, subject to the Cancellation and Refunds Policy below. 3.4 All payments are made through Paypal and their terms and conditions should be read in conjunction with these. 3.5 PHMC accepts no responsibility for taxes etc on transactions effected as a direct or indirect result of the use of «FEAC». However, for persons based in the EU (including the UK), VAT may apply in two ways: 3.5.1 If you are a business, you may have to remit VAT on our services to you (under 'reverse charging'). 3.5.2 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 PHMC cannot prevent some such occurrences. You accept the risk that this affects you. 3.6 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. You acknowledge and accept that PHMC has no control over the Internet. Access to «FEAC»and the Services cannot, therefore, be error free or uninterrupted and may be disrupted and very variable. 3.7 Every effort is made to ensure the continuity of «FEAC»and the Services, but some occasional technical downtime beyond our control may occur. You acknowledge and accept that such downtime may prevent «FEAC»being viewed and may restrict access to your subscription account or the ability to access the Services from time to time. 4. Cancellation and Fees Refunds Policy 4.1 If you are acting as a consumer, under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, you have a statutory right to cancel any distance contract either within 7 days of the date of purchase as long as you have not yet accessed the relevant services. We extend this right in that whether or not you are acting as a consumer, you may cancel any subscription to/purchase of Services during the period up until the relevant Services are delivered (which shall for this purpose be defined as access by you to the members area on «FEAC»on more than one occasion) or the end of 7 days from the date of purchase, whichever is shorter ("Cancellation Period"). If you validly cancel any contract for Services within the Cancellation Period PHMC shall refund to you the Fees paid for the relevant Services. If you cancel any contract for Services outside the Cancellation Period, the Fees paid by you for the relevant Services shall be non-refundable. 5. Third Party Advertising and Links to Third Party Websites 5.1 There will be various third party advertising and hyperlinks posted on «FEAC»from time to time which may contain links to third party web sites, frames and portals ("Third Party Sites"). You acknowledge and accept that PHMC does not exercise any review or editorial control over the content of such third party advertising whatsoever. 5.2 Accordingly, all PHMC's liability or responsibility for the content of such third party advertising on «FEAC»and any damage it may cause is hereby disclaimed and excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law. 5.3 PHMC is not responsible for the content or availability of any Third Party Sites. If you decide to use any link to a Third Party Site you leave «FEAC»and you do so at your own risk. It is your sole responsibility to take all protective measures to guard against viruses or other destructive elements which may exist on such Third Party Sites. 5.4 PHMC does not endorse the content of Third Party Sites, is not affiliated with or associated with the owners of such Third Party Sites or legally authorised to use intellectual property displayed on such Third Party Sites EXCEPT where PHMC specifically states the contrary on «FEAC». 6. The Site 6.1 PHMC may from time to time change the content, presentation, performance, user facilities and availability of any part of «FEAC»at its sole discretion and without notice. It is the member's responsibility to refer to and update itself in relation to any changes made. 6.2 PHMC makes no warranty as to the continuous availability of «FEAC», but shall use reasonable endeavours to keep down time to a minimum. 7. The purpose of «FEAC» 7.1 «FEAC»is a space for PHMC to provide online marketing industry knowledge to online marketing professionals and for online marketing professionals to interact, share information and opinions, and advertise ("the Services") including but not limited to posting information on «FEAC»via the blog and casts. Although community members may choose to conduct business related communications and transactions through «FEAC», PHMC and «FEAC»are not involved in any actual transaction between buyers and sellers and «FEAC»is not provided for this purpose. As a result, PHMC has no control over the quality, safety, truth, accuracy or legality of any products, items, vacancies, statements or services posted or offered, nor does PHMC have any ability whatsoever to warrant or guarantee the integrity of the providers or purchasers of such products, items, vacancies, statements or services. 7.2 PHMC cannot and does not confirm each member's purported identity. PHMC allows members to give access to information about themselves to other members. If you are in any doubt as to an individual's identity you are encouraged to attempt to communicate directly with that person to further establish their credentials. 7.3 In the event that you have a dispute or issue with one or more of the other users, you shall release PHMC (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of any kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. 7.4 PHMC is designed to help members obtain online marketing information, and to discuss online marketing issues. Some of this information is provided by PHMC.  All information used is readily available on the Internet and is information in the public domain. Some information may sometimes be provided by our members, some of whom use anonymous user IDs and are people we may have never met. Whilst the quality of material submitted will be generally high, PHMC does not control the information provided by members, and you may find other member's information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution and common sense when using our Site. Please note that there are also risks in dealing with foreign nationals, underage persons or people acting under false pretences. 7.5 Furthermore, as you cannot be sure who any contributor really is, and PHMC does not vouch for anyone, you should treat the contributors here in the same way that you would treat anyone you had come across for the first time. We recommend that you do not rely upon the information you find at «FEAC»but rather, you use it as a starting point for doing independent research, and then decide for yourself the accuracy and merits of the information that has been shared on «FEAC». As such PHMC cannot guarantee and gives no warranty as to the accuracy, veracity, or completeness of any such information provided. 7.6 The opinions expressed on «FEAC»are those of the contributing individuals. If you act on anything that is said or done you must do so on the basis of a considered decision of your own, having weighed up the pros, cons and risks thereby fully accepting the responsibility for the success or failure of your actions. Under no circumstances shall PHMC be liable for direct, indirect, or incidental damages resulting from your use of information, commentary, advice or other content on «FEAC»whoever the contributing individuals are and whatever status they have. You agree to indemnify PHMC against any actions, claims, proceedings, or liabilities arising from your use of the content of «FEAC». 8.
