5.1. Subject to clause 3.1 all Users may visit the Site and access certain free Services without the obligation to register as a Member. In order to access other Services it is necessary to register as a Member. Click here to access the levels of Membership and the relevant Fees and Services available.

Biggreenbook accepts no responsibility for the non-receipt of any email communication sent to any User.
5.8. Further to clause 5.6 where a Membership allows for a number of Users to have access, each Member within that Membership will be able to add and remove other Members so it is your responsibility to ensure that the Users who access the Site via your Membership are responsible in the management and running of your Membership and that they are legitimate Users. You may not add a User who is not an employee of your organisation. Further, each of the Users within your Membership will have access to the Services allocated under your Membership so, for example, one User could use up all the Reports / Case Studies allocation for your Membership. We reiterate that it is your responsibility to manage your Membership within your relevant organisation. Biggreenbook accepts no responsibility for the management of your Membership within your organisation.
5.9. Each Member may choose to appear in the Member Directory and this information will be published in accordance with the terms of the Biggreenbook Privacy Policy.
6.1. The Site and Services shall be made reasonably available to all Users in accordance with any Membership Level subject to these Terms and Conditions and subject to technical errors and downtime associated with the Internet and the Site. You acknowledge and accept that such downtime may prevent access to the Site and Services from time to time and that access to the Site and Services shall not, therefore, be error free or uninterrupted.
6.2. The Services are to be provided via the Site which contains a number of areas which may be varied from time to time initially including the following: Environmental Business Media (News, Events, Blog; Press Releases) Environmental Supplier Directory (Partner Profiles; Partner Plus Profiles) Environmental Business Network (Member Directory; Forums; White Papers; Press Releases) Environmental Information Library (Case Studies; Reports; How–To Guides; Dictionary;) and Account Administration.

6.3. Details of the Services are set out on the Site and will be undertaken by Biggreenbook on acceptance by Biggreenbook of your order to purchase each Service and payment in full of the relevant Fees for such Service as set out on the Site. Each separate order for Services shall form and be treated as a separate legal contract between you and Biggreenbook for provision of the relevant Services, subject to these Terms and Conditions.
6.4. Fees are usually payable immediately either online or through one of Biggreenbooks Member Support Team representatives prior to the activation of membership and access to any Services, however, in the case of any Fees to be invoiced by Biggreenbook such Fees shall be paid by the Member within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of Biggreenbooks invoice. Interest will be charged at the rate of two per cent (2%) above the Bank of England base rate from time to time and calculated monthly on any outstanding amount until payment is received.
6.5. In case of non-payment of any sum due from the Member (whether formally demanded or not) or of any other breach or non-observance by the Member of any of these Terms and Conditions, Biggreenbook shall have the right to terminate the Member's access to the Site and Services immediately without prejudice to the right to recover all sums payable by the Member or to any other right or remedy available to Biggreenbook.
6.6.

Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in UK Sterling and exclude VAT and any and all other applicable taxes.
6.7. You agree to pay to Biggreenbook the Fees for any and all Services you purchase from Biggreenbook.

All Fees and any such applicable taxes shall be payable by you in full in advance and are non-refundable, subject to clause 7.
6.8. Any Services with the validity period of 365 days are considered subscription services ("Subscriptions"). All Subscriptions purchased by credit card carry an automatic renewal agreement. You will be notified in advance of automatic renewal. You can contact us to cancel a Subscription automatic renewal at any point during its validity. Where a Fee is payable for the relevant Subscription, the credit card used to purchase the Subscription will be charged the full and current Fee on the day of renewal, and no discounts or special packages that applied to the Membership will continue or be carried forward without the prior agreement of Biggreenbook. This will constitute a separate order for Services and shall be treated as a separate legal contract between you and Biggreenbook for provision of the relevant Services, subject to these Terms and Conditions and is subject to clause 7.
6.9. In the event that any individual component of the Services paid for by a Member is disputed then the parties shall endeavour in good faith to reach agreement in relation to the disputed Services. In the event that such dispute cannot be resolved, the matter shall be dealt with pursuant to clause 26.
7. Cancellation and Fees Refunds Policy
7.1. If you are acting as a consumer, under the Distance Selling Regulations 2000, you have a statutory right to cancel any distance contract within 7 days of the date of purchase as long as you have not yet accessed the relevant Services. Accordingly, you may cancel any subscription to purchase Services during the period up until the relevant Services are delivered (which shall for this purpose be defined as access by you to any of the Sites or services provided by Biggreenbook under the relevant Membership in accordance with the relevant Membership Level) or the end of 7 days from the date of purchase, whichever is shorter ("Consumer Cancellation Period"). If you are acting as a consumer and validly cancel any contract for Services within the Consumer Cancellation Period Biggreenbook shall refund to you the Fees paid for the relevant Services. If you are acting as a consumer and cancel any contract for Services outside the Consumer Cancellation Period, the Fees paid by you for the relevant Services shall be non-refundable.
7.2. If you are not acting as a consumer (i.e. using the Services in the course of your business), the Distance Selling Regulations 2000 shall not apply and Biggreenbooks cancellation policy is as follows: 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 any of the Site or services provided by Biggreenbook under the relevant Membership in accordance with the relevant Membership Level) ("Business Cancellation Period"). If you are not acting as a consumer and you cancel any contract for Services outside the Business Cancellation Period, the Fees paid by you for the relevant Services shall be non-refundable.
7.3. Further to clause 7.1 and clause 7.2 as the case may be, no part of any Membership may be carried forward, and no credit will be given for the unused portion of any Membership e.g. no credit will be given if fewer Reports, Case Studies or How-To Guides have been accessed than the Member would be entitled to under the relevant Membership Level. All your Membership benefits will expire and stop working when your Membership runs out. You will be re-gaining access to Biggreenbook when you take out another Membership and your account will be credited with the benefits you are entitled to according to the relevant Membership Level.
Part II the Site and the Services
8. Overview of www.biggreenbook.com
8.1. Overview. The Site acts as a venue for Environmental, Green, Ethical and Business professionals to interact, to obtain information in the form of News, Case Studies, Articles, Reports, How-To Guides and to share information and opinions, to take part in and arrange Networking events and to advertise and promote professional business services including but not limited to posting information on the Site via forums and Blogs (see clause 16) and advertising supply and procurement vacancies (see clause 11). Although Users may choose to conduct business related communications and transactions through the site, Biggreenbook is not involved in any such communications or transactions and as a result, Biggreenbook has no control over the quality, safety, truth, accuracy or legality of any products, items, vacancies, statements or services posted or offered, nor does Biggreenbook have any ability whatsoever to represent, warrant or guarantee the integrity of the providers or purchasers of such products, items, vacancies, statements or services.
8.2. Member identities. Because identification and authentication on the Internet is difficult, Biggreenbook cannot and does not confirm each User's identity, whether or not they are a Member. Biggreenbook 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 take steps to further establish their credentials, for example by communicating directly with them.
8.3. Release. In the event that you have a dispute or issue with one or more of the other Users, you shall release Biggreenbook (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries and employees) from any and all 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.
8.4. Information Control. Biggreenbook is designed to provide Services to help Users obtain Environmental, Green, Ethical and Business information including accessing News, Case Studies, Articles, Reports, How-To Guides and attending networking events, advertise details of supply and procurement vacancies, advertise details of Environmental, Green and Ethical Business products or services, and to discuss Environmental Business and Sustainability issues. This information is sometimes provided by our Members, many of whom use anonymous User IDs and are people we have never met. Whilst the quality of material submitted to our Site is generally high, Biggreenbook does not control the information provided by Members, and you may find other User's information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution and common sense when using our Site and please notify us if you find any information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate or deceptive.
Please note that there are also risks in dealing with foreign nationals, underage persons or people acting under false pretences.
8.5. Furthermore, as you cannot be sure who any contributor really is, you should treat the contributors here in the same way that you would treat anyone you had come across for the first time. You should not rely upon the information you find at the Site but rather, you should use it as a starting point for doing your own independent research, then decide for yourself the accuracy and merits of the information that has been shared in our forum and on our Site including on the blogs section of the Site (see clause 19). As such Biggreenbook cannot guarantee and makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy, veracity, or completeness of any such information provided.
8.6. The opinions expressed on the Site 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 Biggreenbook be liable for direct, indirect, or incidental damages resulting from your use of information, commentary, advice or other content on the Site irrespective as to whom the contributor is.
