If we have to suspend the services for longer than 30 consecutive days in any Term for Premium or Elite Members, we will adjust the price or extend your membership so that you do not pay for the services whilst it is suspended. You may contact us to end the contract if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 90 consecutive days, and we will refund any sums you have paid to us in advance for the Premium or Elite Membership in respect of the period after you end the contract.

5.6. If you do not pay us for the Premium or Elite Membership when you are supposed to (for example, if we no longer hold up-to-date debit or credit card details) and you still do not make payment within 5 calendar days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the services until payment has been made. We will contact you to tell you that we are suspending supply of the services. As well as suspending the services we can also charge you reasonable interest on your overdue payments.

5.7. We use our best endeavours to ensure that the information we provide is as accurate as possible by searching online advertisements, monitoring the internet, analysing market trends (both nationally and regionally), appraising important value factors such as service history, number of owners, warranties, modifications and colour and drawing a comparison between the retail price with the trade price in order for us to determine the best motor deals or predicted motor deals, but we are reliant on those resources and therefore please be aware of the following:

5.7.1. We are not affiliated with any motor dealer, motor trader, motor manufacturer or other service provider and we make no assurances about the quality, condition or ownership of any vehicle we notify you about. We do not physically inspect any vehicles and we base our predictions and judgements purely on the information that is available both publicly on the internet and via paid specialist trade tools and databases. For example, the DVLA vehicle database.

5.7.2. We do not physically inspect any vehicles and it is your responsibility to always carry out due diligence on each and every motor you intend to buy. The motors, dealers, prices and all other elements of the buying process are your responsibility, not Matt's Motor Club.

5.7.3. We do not physically inspect or approve any motor dealer, motor trader, motor manufacturer or other service provider and it is your responsibility to carry out your own research on the upstanding, reputation and legality of each and every motor dealer, motor trader, motor manufacturer or service provider before you buy. The motors, dealers, prices and all other elements of the buying process are your responsibility, not Matt's Motor Club.

5.7.4. We do our utmost to verify that all motor dealers, motor traders, motor manufacturers or service providers are legitimate business entities and that they are not scammers. If the motor dealer is new to us then we will research both reviews and business details from public sources where available but we cannot guarantee that each and every motor dealer, motor trader, motor manufacturer or other service provider is genuine. It is your responsibility to carry out your own research on the upstanding, reputation and legality of each and every motor dealer, motor trader, motor manufacturer or service provider before you buy. The motors, dealers, prices and all other elements of the buying process are your responsibility, not Matt's Motor Club.

5.7.5. We cannot guarantee that the deals provided by us are as good as, or better than, offers made directly by another website or motor dealer, motor trader, motor manufacturer or other service provider.

5.7.6. In relation to our "Secret Steal" service, we cannot guarantee that every or any vehicle will be discounted either online or in negotiations with the seller of the vehicle. This service uses a predictive pricing model which we make every effort to be accurate using the data, trends and knowledge we have to hand. We endeavour to make this clear throughout our marketing and across our site, and as so, you agree to the unpredictability of this service and continue to purchase and use it on this basis. No refunds will be provided.

5.7.7. We provide information from a wide range of motor dealers, motor traders and motor manufacturers but there may be other direct or third-party service providers, motor dealers, motor traders or motor manufacturers available on the market which may be more appropriate or suitable for you than those identified by us.

5.7.8. Any links to third-party websites that we provide are provided for your interest and convenience only. These websites are owned and operated by third parties over whom we do not have control. We do not endorse, recommend or accept responsibility for such third parties or their services, their websites or for any information, opinions or views given or advice provided by such third parties (whether on their websites or otherwise).

5.8. We are only providing information on the deals and offers available but none of the information we provide in our emails or on our Website amounts to a recommendation or endorsement by us in respect of such service providers, motor dealers, motor traders or motor manufacturers. The information we provide is for general information purposes only, and should not be relied upon by you, and is provided so that you can select a motor vehicle that you feel is most appropriate to meet your needs.

5.9. The information and descriptions of deals offered by third parties that we provide may not represent the complete descriptions of all the features and terms and conditions of those deals. You must ensure that you carefully read all the features and terms and conditions (including those contained on a service providers, motor dealers, motor traders or motor manufacturers website) of any vehicle, deal or service before applying for it.
