More a question than a vent.

I have set up an unlimited pass with cineworld and must say it is excellent. NOT A CINEWORLD VENT!!!!!!!
I have set up a direct debit and filled in the application form online which means I am now in a 12 month contract.....or am I.
I have not signed a single piece of paperwork, nor have I signed any contract with Cineworld, as I said, it was all done online....So..
If in 6 months time I do not want the service could I just cancel the direct debit and let cineworld rant for a while although there is nothing legally they can do....or.
Would they be able to legally hold me to a 12 month contract even though I have not signed anything (just clicked the agree to the terms and conditions malarkiy on the small print).
As I said, it is not a Cineworld vent and I have no intentions of cancelling, but I am just curious as to whether a contract can be binding without a signature.

You don't always have to sign things for an agreement to be binding nowadays. The T&Cs malarkey will no doubt answer your question...

Cineworld seems fantastic if you live near one of the partaking cinemas!

The Unlimited Pass is awesome. You won't want to cancel. I've seen loads since I got mine last November.

But you are committed - whether they would bother to chase you for it is anybody's guess.

As there is no credit it doesnt need to be a written contract, verbal is fine and I would say you have done enough to be said to have accepted the contract on their terms

My wife and two daughters have these and have had the value back within 3 months ...... well worth it IMO

I've had mine for two years and wouldn't be without it :j . If you go at peak times you only need to visit two or three times a month and it's more than paid for itself - it's a great moneysaver and enables me to see a lot more films than I'd see without it. :T

Now I know it is a great deal and that is not what I want to discuss, but as you can see from the T&C's anyone who takes out an unlimted card online will not have signed an agreement, so I want to know whether it is enforcable if anyone just cancels the direct debit?.

Electronic signature by ticking the agreement box would be acceptable in my opinion

....but surely I ticked the box to agree to the T&C's, therefore I agreed to pay WHEN I sign the agreement.
I cant see how agreeing to the T&C's means I have signed anything.
Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree here but when you apply in the cinema do you have to sign an agreement?

I rent a flat cash in hand for 6 months, they have proof I have paid the rent for that time, do I have a contract - yes.

Basically if you don't dispute the charges to your account you're agreeing you have a contract - stop trying to scam people and grow up.

From my original post....
