Terms & Conditions

This website is owned and operated by Mercator Media Ltd.

Use of World Fishing is subject to the following terms and conditions, which by using this website you are deemed to have accepted. If you do not accept these terms and conditions you must not use this website.

Mercator Media Ltd is registered in England, company number 2427909.

Accounts

You may register a free account. You are responsible for keeping your password secure and for activity carried out under your account. Please tell us promptly if you believe someone else is using it.

Accounts are personal to you. Sharing credentials so that several people can use one subscription is not permitted; team and corporate access is available separately — please contact us.

We may suspend or close an account that is being shared, used to systematically extract our content, or used in breach of these terms.

Subscriptions, payment and renewal

Subscription prices, and what each plan includes, are shown on our subscribe page. Payment is taken by Stripe, our payment provider; we do not store your card details.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each term unless cancelled beforehand. We will tell you before a renewal is taken.

Prices are shown exclusive of VAT. VAT is added at checkout at the applicable rate. If we change the price of a subscription, we will give you at least one month's notice before the new price takes effect at renewal, so that you can cancel first if you would rather not continue.

Cancelling and refunds

You can cancel at any time from the Subscription section of your account, which takes you to our payment provider's billing portal. Cancelling stops the next renewal; your access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for.

If you are a consumer in the UK, you ordinarily have a statutory right to cancel a distance contract within 14 days. Where you have asked us to begin providing access immediately and acknowledged that you will lose that right once we have done so, the right to cancel ends when access begins. Where access has not yet begun, we will refund you in full within 14 days of being told you wish to cancel.

These statutory rights are in addition to, and are not limited by, anything else in these terms.

Beyond the statutory right described above, we do not offer refunds once access to a subscription has started, and we do not refund part-used terms. Cancelling stops the next renewal rather than ending the term you have paid for.
