6. Cancelling your contract
During the year, if your business closes down, goes into liquidation or you need to cancel your contract with us for any other reason, please get in touch as soon as possible. We will review your individual circumstances but please note that you may be required to make a payment.
If you stop payment without making us aware of your circumstances, we may begin legal proceedings to recover monies owed for the rest of your contract.
This can be avoided if you let us know your circumstances.
