Please note all payments, including to Licensed Centres, are via IFL.

We are not responsible or liable to you for the any Services offered by our partner Licensed Centres that are booked through the Platform.

Our Platform is available to you if you are in England. We do not represent that any content available on or through the Platform is appropriate for use or available outside England.

you seriously (as determined by us) or repeatedly breach any of these Terms or our Fair Usage Policy; and/or

Even if we delay in enforcing these Terms, we can still enforce them later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaching these Term, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
