Amazon seller subscription

Luke1925

Good evening

I am looking for some advice.

I subscribed to an online Amazon seller sales course. I signed up and agreed to pay £99 per month for 8 months through the website sales page, but I can see nowhere in the terms of use regarding non payments and any action that would be taken in this case. I received nothing via email after I purchased the course other then a link to access the content.

I was not happy with what I had purchased and instructed my bank to cancel all future payments and today I have been advised this will be put out to debt collectors if I fail to make the payments agreed.

I never signed any paperwork to say we had entered a contract agreement and the sales page merely stated £99 would be taken for 8 payments. The payment plan I signed too was also not what was stated on the sales page and the seller sent me a link to an individual plan just for me.

Is there grounds for the seller to put this out to a debt collector and am I legally liable to pay the money?

Thanks

Just to add...this is nothing to do with Amazon only the course is designed to teach you how to be an Amazon seller.

Thanks

Non payments are obvious, they have the right to sue for breach of contract.


You have a contract, it doesn't need to be a signed hard copy.


Forget debt collectors, you only need to worry if official court papers come through your door. Then you can work on your defence if you have one that will stand up.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

There is nothing that says I am in a contract or that I entered one. Nothing in the terms of use on the website says anything regarding breach of contract.

You say you ‘signed up’ to 8 x £99.

How did you do this, if not by entering a contract?

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what a contract is. It's not a piece of paper. It's the agreement you enter into.


Sometimes the law requires the piece of paper for certain kinds of contact, and often the piece of paper is useful evidence of what was agreed, but lack of a piece of paper doesn't mean lack of a contract.

I received a link to a payment page, but there was no legal information on there with regards to what I was purchasing.

If anything I would argue it is more of a subscription then anything else.

Thanks

A subscription is also a contract. It is simply a contract stating that you agree to pay a certain sum of money at certain times in order to received regular goods or services.

Hi Luke, it seems each time that you are told you've entered a contract, you're arguing that you haven't. To save anyone anymore time - what answer would you like to hear?

The OED definition of "subscription" may be relevant here:

"Regular payment for access to a commercially provided service; an agreement or contract for this. Also: the amount paid for such a service"

There doesn't need to be. In your first post, you said that you agreed to pay them 8 times £99. You have entered into a contract.



There doesn't need to be anything that says what will happen in case of breach of contract. They can simply sue you for anything that you agreed to pay, but didn't.
