Agreeing to job offer the pulling out

textbook

What happens if I agree to a job but then change my mind?  Is that fine.   Job starts Feb zero hrs

Have you signed a contract? If so in theory they can sue you for breach of contract. Unlikely to happen though, especially since it starts in February and it's a zero hours contract. They would have to justify what losses they have incurred. 

You will annoy your potential new employer and may not be considered for future rules. Realistically it won't go any further than that.

It is a zero hours contract, so you want to work zero hours.  If you had been offered a 30 hour a week job then it could be a different matter.

...but probably have the same outcome, given you'd effectively be giving 3 months notice of your intention not to take the role.

Kind of. You'll need to login when prompted to accept the auto renew, every 3 years

Not sure how this relates to OP's question...?

If you signed your contract then you need to give notice which won't take you anywhere near to February. Even if it somehow did it's a zero hour contract so you are under no obligation to work. 

Who on earth is hiring zero hour contract people so far in advance?

I know this is nitpicking but if you are hired on a zero hours contract, and don't actually work any hours then you have fulfilled your contract.

If I accept licence agreement (Microsoft)do I have to pay?  I dunno how to fill form in without paying

Have you actually read it? Looking at what you've posted, there is an explicit warning clause that they will incur expenses once you have accepted the offer and you are liable to reimburse them if you change your mind.

Damn.  Would they bother do you think?

Surely zero hrs means I don't have to turn up?

Also, they'd have to take me to court, would they bother?

Anyhow how do I fill in the word forms without paying?
