These terms apply in different ways depending on what type of user you are, as follows:

See Section 5 for details.

2. Access and Use

Our ability to invest in high quality journalism depends on our users complying with this Section 2. Please read our Copyright Policy that summarises how you are allowed to use IMR Content and provides guidance on the types of use we do not permit without the purchase of additional licences from the IMR Media Pvt Ltd.

The amount and types of IMR Content that you can view, and the platforms on which you can view IMR Content, depends on what type of user you are and what type of subscription (if any) you have. We can vary the access rights of registered users who are not accessing through a paid subscription at any time at our discretion.

For further access, we offer various types of individual and group subscription: see Section 4 for details of individual subscriptions, and http://ftcorporate.ft.com/ for details of our group subscriptions.

We recommend that you do not select an obvious user password (such as your name) and that you change it regularly.

If you provide IMR with an email address that will result in any messages IMR may send you being sent to you via a network or device operated or owned by a third party (e.g. your employer or colleague) then you promise that you are entitled to receive those messages. You also agree that IMR may stop sending messages to you without notifying you.

4. Personal Subscription Services and Temporary Access Passes

We offer subscription services through www.imrmedia.in and recommend that you read our Frequently Asked Questions for more details and before purchasing a subscription.

Types of subscription: unless you purchase a subscription to use www.imrmedia.in then your usage rights will be limited as set out at www.ft.com/psp. We offer various types of subscription: the options currently available are set out at www.ft.com/psp.

IMR reserves the right to vary the amount of content and types of service that it makes available to different categories of user. If you are an www.imrmedia.in subscriber, any significant reduction in the scope of your subscription will take effect only after we have given you at least 30 days’ notice, and will apply from the date of your next payment following that 30-day period. This does not apply where a type of content or service intended for Premium subscriptions is made available to Standard subscribers on an introductory, temporary or trial basis.

Contract formation: IMR will try to process your subscription promptly but does not guarantee that your subscription will be activated by any specified time. By submitting your payment and other subscription details, you are making an offer to us to buy a subscription. Your offer will only be accepted by us and a contract formed when we have successfully verified your payment details and email address, at which point we will provide you with access to your subscription. IMR reserves the right to reject any offer in its discretion, for any or no reason.

Payment details: when you purchase a subscription, 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. In suspicious circumstances we may contact the issuing bank/payment provider and/or law enforcement authorities or other appropriate third parties. If you are entitled to a refund under these terms and conditions 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.

Pricing: the subscription price 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 purchase your subscription. For certain subscriptions you can take out either an annual or monthly or quarterly (or other frequency we offer) subscription. 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. The currency in which your subscription is payable will be specified during the order process, depending on the service and your country of residence. Eligibility for any discounts is ascertained at the time you subscribe and cannot be changed during the term of your subscription. We will always tell 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.

Trial subscriptions: where we provide a trial subscription, we will inform you of the full subscription price that is payable after the trial period. After the trial, your subscription will renew automatically at the full subscription price unless you cancel your subscription before the end of the trial. To cancel your subscription during the trial please go to Manage Your Account and follow the simple cancellation instructions.

Please note that no more than one trial subscription per subscriber is allowed in any twelve month period. We reserve the right to cancel any trial subscription immediately, without refund, if we become aware that the subscriber has already had another trial subscription in the previous twelve months.

Taxes: IMR Media Pvt Ltd is registered for GST in Haryana, India with regn No 06AACCI7766G1ZD. Our Income Tax PAN No is AACCI7766G. If you want any of our other tax ID numbers please contact customer services.

Unless otherwise indicated, prices stated on our website are inclusive of any applicable tax or other sales taxes. The breakdown of any applicable VAT payable with your order is indicated on the invoice you will receive with your purchase.

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 we 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 the subscription fee you are charged, certain banks and credit card issuers will charge a foreign transaction fee on transactions which take place abroad or in a foreign currency. Please check with your bank or credit card issuer to find out if such charges will be applied to you; IMR is not responsible for any such charges. You are also responsible for paying any internet connection or telecommunications charges that you may incur by accessing www.imrmedia.in 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.

5. Renewal and Cancellation of Personal Subscriptions

Renewals: If you chose to pay Quarterly or Yearly, your subscription will continue until you tell us that you no longer wish to receive it, in which case you will stop paying the Quarterly or Yearly fees. We will notify you at least 14 days in advance of any changes to the price in your subscription that will apply upon next monthly renewal. Please see the “How to cancel” section below for details of how to cancel your Quarterly or Annual subscription. If you chose to pay Quarterly or Annually, at least 14 days before each renewal you will be sent a reminder notice stating the rate that will apply for the renewal period. Unless you notify us before the end of your quarterly or annual subscription period that you no longer wish to receive it, your quarterly or annual subscription will renew for another quarter or year. We will charge the subscription using the same card or other payment method that you previously used. 

Initial cancellation period: Depending on the type of subscription you have, you may have a right to cancel your subscription within a limited period after placing your order, if offered. By placing your order you agree that we may start your subscription immediately upon our accepting your order. This means that you are not entitled to a refund if you change your mind after we have provided you with access to your subscription.

Subsequent cancellation of your subscription: Except as set out in the previous section, you do not have any right to cancel your subscription or any part of it until the end of your then current subscription period. Although you may notify us of your intention to cancel at any time, such notice will only take effect at the end of your then current subscription period, and you will not receive a refund (except in the limited circumstances set out in these terms).

How to cancel: You may notify us of your wish to cancel your subscription by contacting our Customer Services team. Chat with us online, call us on telephone, or email us at subscriptions1@imrmedia.in with the following: “I/We hereby give notice that I/we cancel my/our subscription”. Please then include:

Cancellations by us: IMR reserves the right to suspend or terminate your subscription if you breach these terms and conditions, with or without notice and without further obligation to you. We may also suspend or terminate your subscription if we are prevented from providing services to you by circumstances beyond our control. If we terminate your subscription for any reason and/or permanently cease publishing www.imrmedia.in, the IMR Content 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. This 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.

IMR reserves the right to suspend or terminate your subscription without refund in the event of any verbal or written abuse of any kind (including abusive, offensive or aggressive language) directed towards our Customer Care team or other IMR personnel.

Cancellation of your registration: If you are a registered user, but not a subscriber, then IMR reserves the right to suspend or terminate your registration at any time, with or without notice and without further obligation to you.
