Please read this carefully because it sets out the terms of a legally binding agreement between you and Shuem International.

These are the Terms (together with any other policies or documents referred to in these Terms, collectively called “Terms”) on which you may use the Website, Shuem mobile and other online services (“Website”) and the products or services available on them (“Media”). These Terms apply to your use of Website and all Media irrespective of the delivery platform or device you use to access it.

The Shuem Website and Media can only be used by you after you have read the Terms and accepted them by clicking on the tick box provided for this purpose. If you use Website in the course of your business or work, clicking on the tick box to indicate your acceptance of the Terms will mean that you are also accepting these Terms on behalf of that business. We only make these Terms available in the English language.

 

If you do not agree with the Terms (or are not authorized to do so on behalf of your business or work) you should not use Website or any Media and should cancel any subscription in accordance with your cancellation rights (see section 5 below). If you have any questions about our website or your subscription please contact  info@shuemsoulexperience.com.

1. Introduction

These Terms were updated in September 2019 and replace all previous Terms for Shuem International. Shuem International may update these Terms for legal or regulatory reasons, or to reflect changes in our services or business practices. We will provide a notice of such changes on this website. If you are a Website or Media subscriber, any changes will become effective from the date of your next payment following the changes, unless we notify you otherwise. If you do not agree to the changes, you should cancel your subscription and not use this website. If you are not a Website subscriber, any changes will become effective as soon as we notify you of them through our website. 

 

We may in exceptional circumstances cease to publish the Website, the Media or cease to provide subscription services. If we do so, then we will have no further obligation or liability to you, unless you are a subscriber, in which case we will offer you a refund of the value of the unexpired period of your subscription. See section 5 for details.

2. Access and use

We invest in and provide high quality content depends on our users complying with this section 2. We recommend you read our Copyright Policy which summarizes how you are allowed to use Media. Amongst other things, the Copyright Policy invites organizations that may be using Media without the appropriate permissions to contact  us to purchase a license to legitimize that use.

In summary, unless you are a registered user of Website you may not be permitted to view any articles; if you are a registered user, you can view a limited number of articles a month; if you have a standard subscription you can view all of our articles but not Shuemvideo or imeditate content; and if you have a premium subscription, you can view all of our articles and Shuemvideo content. If you have all access you have unlimited access to all of our articles and content, including access to imeditate. [we may vary the amount of content that each category of user can access depending on the device used to access Media.] From time to time we may invite specific groups of users to access certain sections of Website which may be the same as or different to the access given under other types of subscriptions. [in order to access iShuem content on a mobile device you may be required to purchase the iShuem.mobile.app]. Please note that the minimum duration of any subscription available on Website is.

Permitted use: All Media belongs to Shuem International or its licensors, who own all right, title, interest and intellectual property rights (including copyright, trademark and database rights) in and to the Media. No intellectual property rights in any Media are transferred or granted to subscribers, users or other third parties. ”Shuem” and other marks (see Website/trademarks) are registered trademarks which, along with all other Media,  you may not use without written permission from Shuem International. You may, however, do the following:

  • View Media for your personal use on any device that is compatible with Website or any Shuem application (this might be your pc, laptop, smartphone, tablet or other mobile device) and store Media on that device for your personal use.
  • Print single copies of articles on paper for your personal use.
  • Share links to articles by using the article tools we make available at the foot of each article.
  • Use spidering technology to search and link to Website, provided that you do not infringe the restrictions on use below.

On condition that you do not create a substitute (as defined below), you may also do the following:

  • Publish online, the original Shuem headline and a link to the Shuem article (on Website) and the first 140 characters of an article.
  • Forward the original Shuem headline and a link to the Shuem article (on Website) and the first 140 characters of an article to other individuals.

We define a substitute as a product or service that in our reasonable opinion reduces the need for users or other third parties to pay for Media directly, or which creates revenue from the Media to the detriment of Shuem International’s own ability to generate revenues from that content.

As specified in the “restrictions on use” section below you may not republish or redistribute full text articles (unless you share articles published at  www.Shuem.com/ using our ‘email article’ tool to send articles to the email addresses of individuals but not group email accounts with an active standard or premium subscription).you may however republish or redistribute “summaries” of Shuem articles if you comply with the conditions set out below. “summaries” can be either an “extract” or an “abstract”. By “extract” we mean 30 words copied verbatim from an Shuem article which is inserted into a longer original work. By “abstract” we mean a 30 word non-verbatim summary of the news or facts reported in an Shuem article which does not form part of a longer work.

These are the conditions you must comply with in order to produce summaries:

  • You clearly source Shuem as the author of any article from which you have derived a summary by way of an attribution with a hypertext link from the word Shuem to the original story published on Website;
  • In the case of abstracts, you make clear that the abstract has been produced by you by stating “this abstract from Shuem International was produced by Shuem International”, with a hypertext link from the word “Shuem International” to the original story published on Website;
  • You ensure that your summaries do not in whole or in part form a substitute for Shuem International’s own products and services (see above for how we define substitute). The more summaries you create the greater the risk is that each one is a substitute. No individual or organization may create, republish or redistribute more than ten summaries in aggregate each day, each one sourced from a different Shuem article that is published on the same day that you create the summary;
  • You do not use or create summaries that promote or endorse any product or service; and

If Shuem International notifies you that  you are creating a substitute(s) or republishing Media, you shall immediately cease doing so and all of your rights  in respect of Media shall be regarded as having been withdrawn, unless/until Shuem International reaches an agreement with you regarding your rights in respect of Media.

Please note that the rights to use Media detailed above do not extend to content, data or other material published by Shuem International that we license from third parties, which you may not republish or redistribute.  Nor shall you modify, copy, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, license, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell any such licensed content, data or other material, in whole or in part.

You also agree to waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right you may have to bring legal claim against any third party who supplies content to us, which arises from your use of their content or data on any Shuem service.

Payment details: When you subscribe for a service you must provide us with complete and accurate payment information. By submitting payment details you promise that you are entitled to purchase a subscription using those payment details. If we do not receive payment authorization or any authorization is subsequently cancelled, we may immediately terminate or suspend your access to your subscription and in circumstances that we reasonably deem to be suspicious, we may contact the issuing bank/payment provider and/or law enforcement authorities/other appropriate third parties, to the extent relevant and proportionate in the context. If you are entitled to a refund under these Terms (please see “cancellations by you and refunds” section below) we will credit that refund to the card or other payment method you used to submit payment, unless it has expired in which case we will contact you. If you buy a subscription pass using a corporate credit card then we will treat your subscription as being for the benefit of both you and the relevant company.

Pricing: The subscription price [including any applicable taxes] will be made clear to you on our sign-up pages or otherwise during the sign-up process and may vary from time to time or by country. You agree to pay the fees at the rates notified to you at the time you take out your subscription or purchase your temporary access pass. Other subscription services may only require a one-off payment. You can also take out any other fixed term or payment frequency that we may offer from time to time via our website or by direct notification to you. Shuem International will charge you in british pounds sterling, united states dollars, euros, singapore dollars, australian dollars, hong kong dollars, swiss francs or japanese yen depending on the service that you wish to purchase and your country of residence. The currency in which you will be charged will be made clear to you prior to the completion of your sign-up. You will also have to pay any applicable currency conversion charges. Eligibility for any discounts is ascertained at the time you subscribe and cannot be changed during the term of your subscription. We will always notify you in advance of any increase in the price of your subscription and offer you an opportunity to cancel it if you do not wish to pay the new price.

Pricing errors: If we incorrectly state a price to you whether online or otherwise, we are not obliged to provide you with a subscription at that price, even if we have mistakenly accepted your offer to buy a subscription at that price, and reserve the right to subsequently notify you of any pricing error. If we do this, you may cancel the subscription without any obligation to us and we will refund you any money you have paid us in full or you may pay the correct price. If you refuse to exercise either of these choices then we may cancel your subscription and will refund you any money you have paid us in full. We will always act in good faith in determining whether a genuine pricing error has occurred.

Other costs: In addition to any subscription or fees you pay, you are responsible for paying any internet connection or other telecommunications charges that you may incur by accessing Website or using the services available on it. For example, if you use any of our mobile services then your network operator may charge you for data or messaging services.

Renewals:  By paying annually, unless you notify us before the expiry of your annual subscription period that you no longer wish to receive it, your annual subscription will renew automatically for another year. We will charge the then current subscription fee using the same card or other payment method that you previously used. We will notify you in advance of any changes to the price in your subscription that will apply upon renewal.

Cancellations by you and refunds :  You may cancel your subscription at any time up to the point at which 30 days has expired from the date of your initial payment for your then current subscription.  Otherwise you may not cancel your subscription or any part of it until the end of your then current subscription period. This means that you are not entitled to a refund once we have started providing any part of your subscription to you, except in the limited circumstances which are referred to in these Terms. Where you notify us of your intention to cancel after the expiry of 30 days from the date of payment for your subscription, such notice will only take effect at the end of your then current subscription period and any payments due for your then current subscription period will be charged to you using the same card or other payment method that you initially used.. You may notify us of your wish to cancel your subscription by email to info@shuem.com.

If within 30 days of the date of first payment for your then current subscription you have used any gift or voucher coupon or downloaded any digital content or redeemed or otherwise used any gift material received by you as part of your subscription sign up you will have elected to forego your right of cancellation and there will be no refunds or exchanges allowed in respect of your subscription.

Cancellations by us: Shuem International reserves the right to suspend or terminate your subscription if you materially breach these Terms, with or without notice and without further obligation to you. You will not be entitled to any refund in these circumstances. If however we terminate or suspend your subscription for any other reason and/or permanently cease publishing Website and/or the Media or cease to provide subscription services then, unless there are exceptional circumstances, we will provide you with a pro rata refund to your credit card, which means that we will refund you with any amounts that you have paid us in advance that relate to any remaining and unexpired period of your subscription.
