No refund will be given for Membership Fee for your minimum period, unless your membership terminates in one of the ways set out in these Terms and you are entitled to a refund. If you pay via gift membership or gift card, you haven’t made a payment to us for your membership, and you won’t be entitled to any refunds.
    2. One Membership per minimum duration: You cannot cumulate two Memberships during the minimum duration. Your Membership is fixed; if you have chosen a Cult Membership, you cannot change it for a Classic Membership.  However, you may upgrade your Classic Membership to a Cult Membership by contacting us at [email protected].

We will refund the payment we received from you minus a reasonable amount proportionate to the use you made of your Membership prior to cancellation. Refunds will be made within 14 days using the same payment method. For clarity, if your Membership gives you access to 5 credits over the duration of the minimum period, which you use entirely via cinema tickets or CHC streaming before cancelling your Membership, the amount to be deducted will be equal to the Membership Fee and you will not be entitled to any refund. There is no cooling off right for Membership Fee paid by gift membership or gift cards.

Termination at the end of your current 12-month minimum period: before the renewal of your Membership, we will notify you that if you wish to terminate your Membership, you have to give us notice at [email protected] with the subject line “termination” before the start of the new 12-month minimum period  so we can make the necessary arrangements (e.g. stop collecting the monthly instalments).
    3. Termination before the end of the current 12-month minimum period: during the minimum period, you may terminate your Membership but you will not be entitled to a refund unless we have seriously breached these Terms or your situation presents some exceptional circumstances, at our sole discretion.
    4. Our suspension, discontinuation or termination of your Membership: we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Membership if, in our reasonable opinion:
      1. you breach these Terms (including failing to pay the Membership Fee), the  CHC Terms of Use, the  Visiting Website and Making Online Purchases Terms or the Visiting Our Cinemas Terms; your Membership will be terminated immediately on our notice of termination and you will not be entitled to any compensation or refund;

Important points
    1. Limitation of Liability. If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for  loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our negligence, only. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time of the Acceptance Email. To the extent permitted by law, we will not be liable to you or any third person for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages, including for any lost profits or lost data arising from your order or use of your Membership, even if we were aware or has been advised of the possibility of such damages.  You agree not to use your Membership for any commercial, business or resale purposes, therefore we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, our liability to you will at all times be limited to the Membership paid by you up to a limit of £1,000 except in the event of death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law. If no amount is paid by you, you shall be limited to injunctive relief only unless otherwise permitted by law, and you shall not be entitled to damages of any kind from us, regardless of the cause of action.
    2. Indemnity. You agree to indemnify us for any loss or damage that we may incur, including without limitation legal fees, arising from your use of the Membership other than as permitted under these Terms.
    3. Events beyond our control. We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under any contract with you that is caused by any event, act, omission or circumstance beyond our reasonable control ("Force Majeure Event"). A Force Majeure Event includes any strike, lock-out or other industrial action, civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war, fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, pandemic, epidemic or other natural disaster, impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport, impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks (including the world wide web) and the acts, decrees, legislation, regulations or restrictions of any government). Our performance of any contract with you is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, we shall have an extension of time to perform our obligation so affected for a duration equal to that of the Force Majeure Events. If we are prevented from, or delayed in, performing of any contract with you by any Force Majeure Event for a continuous period of more than 30 days, either of us may terminate such contract with immediate effect on written notice, in which case neither of us shall have any liability to the other party (but without affecting any rights and remedies that arose before such termination).
    4. Severability. If any part, term, or provision of these Terms shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable, or in conflict with any relevant law, the remaining portions or provisions shall still remain valid and continue in full force and effect.
    5. Assignability. The Membership Agreement is binding on you and us and on our successors and assigns. You may not transfer, assign, charge or otherwise dispose of any contract with us (or any of your rights or obligations under it) without our prior written consent. We may freely assign, sub-license or otherwise dispose of any of your rights under these Terms.
    6. Third-party rights. These Terms are not intended to confer, and do not confer, any rights or remedies on any person other than you and us, except that any Curzon group company may enforce any right or remedy expressly conferred on such Curzon group company under these Terms.
    7. Law and Jurisdiction. These Terms shall be governed by and will be construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
