PERSONAL SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES
Personal subscription services include SMART’s access to behind the pay wall content. When you subscribe to SMART ‘s access, you gain access to opinion pieces, comments and exclusive features specially chosen for you by us.

The nature of content behind the pay wall is subject to change; the final decision of which lies with SMART.

Types of subscription
Services may differ from country to country and the device from which you subscribe. Subscriptions packages and prices may also vary in time.

Contract formation
SMART will try to process your subscription promptly but does not guarantee that your subscription will be activated by any specified time. By submitting your payment and other subscription details, you are making an offer to us to buy a subscription. Your offer will only be accepted by us and a contract formed when we have successfully verified your payment details and email address, at which point we will provide you with access to your subscription. SMART reserves the right to reject any offer at its discretion, for any or no reason.

SMART may partner with third party content providers to offer bundled services, under which the payment for both the services will be collected by SMART. SMART will endeavour to provide seamless access to all such third parties with single one-point access. There could be a gap in this seamless access due to a technology breakdown, temporary disconnection of the internet connection or any factors beyond the reasonable control of SMART. In such cases, the contract will be formed once access to the partner services are restored.

You are requested to read through the terms and conditions offered by content partners to SMART. Most partners offer bundled services for new users. Existing subscribers of partners are not eligible for bundled subscriptions. Should you happen to be one please note that the partner will be liable to reject your offer to subscribe under the bundled subscription not leading to contract formation as a result.

Payment details
When you purchase a subscription, you must provide us with complete and accurate payment information. By submitting payment details you promise that you are entitled to purchase a subscription using those payment details. If we do not receive payment authorization or any authorization is subsequently cancelled, we may immediately terminate or suspend your access to your subscription. In suspicious circumstances, we may contact the issuing bank/payment provider and/or law enforcement authorities or other appropriate third parties. If you are entitled to a refund under these terms and conditions we will credit that refund to the card or other payment method you used to submit payment, unless it has expired in which case we will contact you.

SMART will use the services of quality third-party payment service providers to process your payment. Payment options are primarily through credit cards. SMART may offer other payment mechanisms from time to time.

Pricing
The subscription price will be made clear to you on our sign-up pages or otherwise during the sign-up process and may vary from time to time, by region or by country. You agree to pay the fees at the rates notified to you at the time you purchase your subscription. Subscription to premium services on SMART is generally of monthly frequency. SMART however may choose to offer fixed-term or fixed payment frequency offers from time to time. The currency in which your subscription is payable will be specified during the order process, depending on the service and your country of residence. Eligibility for any discounts is ascertained at the time you subscribe and cannot be changed during the term of your subscription.

Unless otherwise indicated, prices stated on our website are inclusive of applicable Goods and Service Tax (GST).

Pricing errors
If we incorrectly state a price to you whether online or otherwise, we are not obliged to provide you with a subscription at that price, even if we have mistakenly accepted your offer to buy a subscription at that price, and we reserve the right to subsequently notify you of any pricing error. If we do this, you may cancel the subscription without any obligation to us and we will refund you any money you have paid us in full, or you may pay the correct price. If you refuse to exercise either of these choices then we may cancel your subscription and will refund you any money you have paid us in full. We will always act in good faith in determining whether a genuine pricing error has occurred.

Other costs
In addition to any subscription fees you pay, you are responsible for paying any internet connection or other telecommunications charges that you may incur by accessing the premium services or using the services available on them. For example, if you use any of our mobile services then your network operator may charge you for data or messaging services.
