General Information Regarding These Terms of Use

These Terms of Services (these “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and Axis (hereafter “we”, “us”, “our”, “Company”, “Axis” or “Axisweb”). 

We are a Registered Charity (no. 1002841) and company limited by guarantee in England and Wales (no 02595018). Our registered office is The Art House, Drury Lane, Wakefield, WF11 8JS.

The Terms apply to your access to, and your use of our Axis Websites, (“Website”), or our Axis Web Application (“App”) and other online products or services that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Services”) through our Website or App.

These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy, which you may find when you visit the Website or when you access our App.

Your use of any Services may also be subject to specific terms applicable to a particular Service (“Additional Terms”). If there is any conflict between the Additional Terms and these Terms, then the Additional Terms apply in relation to the relevant Service.

Collectively, these Terms, together with any Additional Terms, form a binding legal agreement between you and Axis in relation to your use of the Services. 

Collectively, this legal agreement is referred to below as the “Terms.”

By clicking “I ACCEPT” or otherwise accessing or using any Services you also represent that you have the legal authority to accept the Terms on behalf of yourself and any party you represent in connection with your use of any Services. If you do not agree to the Terms, you are not authorised to use any Services. If you are an individual who is entering into these Terms on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have the power to bind that entity, and you hereby agree on that entity’s behalf to be bound by these Terms, with the terms “you,” and “your” applying to you, that entity, and other users accessing the Services on behalf of that entity.

Summary of Terms

  • each component of our Services is licenced, not sold, to you, and you may use the Services only as set forth in these Terms;

Changes to these Terms

From time to time, Axis may change, remove, or add to the Terms, and reserves the right to do so at its discretion. In that case we will post updated Terms and indicate the date of revision. If we feel the modifications are material, we will make reasonable efforts to post a prominent notice on the relevant Website(s), Service(s), App(s)  and notify those of you with a current Axis account via email.

All new and/or revised Terms take effect immediately and apply to your use of the Services from that date on, except that material changes will take effect 30 days after the change is made and identified as material.
