We offer our Products and Subscription Services together as a series of “Subscription Plans”. Each Subscription Plan is a combination of:
(i) a subscription to the Subscription Services for a set term (your “Minimum Subscription Plan Term”); and
(ii)one or more products
Details of what is contained within the Subscription Plans that we offer are displayed on our Store. -
Some Subscription Plans include Subscription Services which are provided on a trial basis. Trial Subscription Services will be withdrawn when such trials expire. Details of such trials, and how the Subscription Services may vary, will be displayed on our Store and confirmed in your Order Confirmation.
-
There are no separate charges for the Products provided in our Subscription Plans.

For instance, you will not have the right to complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service and nor will you have the right to compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme in the event of our insolvency.
You should only enter into the agreement to pay by way of instalments if you understand and agree to this. -
The Subscription Services, and any trials which we offer, may change from time to time, including:
(i) what is included in the Subscription Services which they provide; and
(ii) the Subscription Fees which are payable.
-
You may be offered the opportunity to change your Subscription Plan from time to time, typically at the expiry of a trial period or your Minimum Subscription Plan Term. This offer may be made in a number of ways, including during your checkout process, by e-mail or via your use of our Homepass App. Details of what is contained within the alternative Subscription Plan will be included in that offer, displayed on our Store and/or confirmed in your resulting Order Confirmation. For the avoidance of doubt, once you have ordered Products you cannot change these Products unless you are permitted to do so under Section 7 below.
-
You may be offered the chance to pay for the Subscription Services as a one-off payment. Subject to 5.3(g) below, if your payment for the initial term of the Subscription Service was taken as a one-off payment, your Subscription Service will auto-renew on the basis set out under “Renewals and Renewal Payments” below.
5.3 Renewals and Renewal Payments
-
The “Subscription Renewal Billing Date” for each Subscription Service is the anniversary of the date when you purchase your first subscription to that Subscription Service.
-
Your account will be charged the Subscription Fees for your next subscription term on the Subscription Renewal Billing Date following the end of your then current subscription to the Subscription Services. Unless stated otherwise your renewed subscription term will be a further year from the relevant Subscription Renewal Billing Date.
For example, if you purchase a one-year subscription on 1 January 2022, your first renewal Subscription Fee payment would be due on 1 January 2023 and your subscription would then be renewed for a further year
-
Subject to 5.3(g) below, the Subscription Service will thereafter continue to renew on this basis unless and until you cancel it or we terminate it.
-
You must cancel the Subscription Service before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next Subscription Fees to your account. We will provide you with at least 28 days’ advance notice of the payment, this may include details of different options for how your payments may be made.
-
We may, at our discretion, on the renewal of your Subscription Services, require you to make payment for your Subscription Services up-front rather than in installments (this includes where you do not respond to a notice about potential payment options). If you do not wish to renew your Subscription Services on this basis you have the right to cancel on the basis set out in Section 6.2 (Cancellation and Termination of Subscription Services).
-
We will bill the Subscription Fees to the payment method you provide to us during registration unless you contact us to change that payment information at least 14 days before the relevant Subscription Billing Date.
-
Financing partners. Where available, if your payment for the initial term of the Subscription Service was made via one of our financing partners (such as PayPal), your Subscription Service will not auto-renew, and we will contact you before your next Subscription Renewal Billing Date to confirm which payment method (if any) you would like us to use for any subsequent Subscription Fee payments.
5.4 Purchasing Products Initial One-off Payments by Debit or Credit card

-
To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel the Subscription Services by making a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or email). The easiest way to do this is to contact us using the following contact details +44 808 168 7581 before the Cancellation Period has expired. You may also do this by completing the following model cancellation form below and returning it by email to us at [email protected] by post at Plume Design, Inc., 290 S California Ave., Suite 200, Palo Alto, CA 94002, USA:
To: Plume Design, Inc., 290 S California Ave., Suite 200, Palo Alto, CA 94002, USA / [email protected]
E-mail address: [Your email]
I/We(*) hereby give notice that I/We(*) cancel my/our() contract for the provision of the following products/for the supply of the following services:
Ordered on(*) / received on(*)
Name of consumer(s),
Address of consumer(s),
Signature of consumer (only if this form is notified on paper)
Date
() Please delete if not applicable -
If you cancel an Order for Subscription Services or Products within the Cancellation Period, we will process the refund due to you and provided you with details of any recalculated Subscription Plan charges as soon as possible and, in any case, within 14 days.
-
Any refund in respect of Products you have purchased is subject to the reasonable care requirements set out in Section 7.2. For the avoidance of doubt:
(i) no refunds will be due in respect of Products which are provided without charge as part of a Subscription Plan (although this does not impact any refunds due in respect of the Subscription Services in the Subscription Plan);
(ii) you will only be eligible for a refund of up to the amount which you have already paid in respect of Products which are provided for a separate charge as part of a Subscription Plan; and
(iii) termination of your Subscription Services will not entitle you to a return or refund in respect of Products whose Cancellation Period has already expired.
-
If you do not return one or more of the Product(s), or do not return such Product(s) in accordance with the reasonable care requirements in Section 7.2 (Product Cancellations, Returns and Defects), within 14 days after you notify us of cancellation, then you will be charged an early termination charge for the relevant Products, calculated as if we had terminated the contract for those Products under Section 6.4. Any additional Product(s) purchased via the Store outside of a Subscription Plan may be returned subject to Section 7 (Product Cancellations, Returns and Defects).
-
Signing up for the Subscription Services constitutes an express request for your access to the Subscription Services to commence immediately following the Order Confirmation, rather than only at the end of the Cancellation Period. There is no disadvantage to you in accessing the Subscription Services immediately, as we will refund you for your use of the Subscription Services if you cancel during the Cancellation Period in accordance with these Terms, and we will continue to provide the Subscription Services during the Cancellation Period.
6.2 Subscription Termination.
-
You may request termination of your Subscription Service subscription:
(i) at any time, if you paid for your Subscription Services as an initial one-off payment; or
(ii) following the expiry of your Minimum Subscription Plan Term, if you subscribed to a Subscription Plan;
by contacting Plume Support at [email protected] or by submitting your request here.
-
PLEASE NOTE: If you terminate your Subscription Service subscription in accordance with Section 6.2(a) above and payment has been taken in advance:
(i)within 60 days of your latest Subscription Renewal Billing Date, we will refund you the full amount of the relevant auto-renewal payment of Subscription Fees for the Subscription Services;
(ii) more than 60 days after your latest Subscription Renewal Billing Date, if you have paid by one-off payment, we will give you a pro-rata refund in respect of any payment which has been taken in respect of any unexpired months of the renewed Subscription Services subscription. This pro-rata refund will be calculated by dividing the relevant Subscription Fees that you paid by the length of the renewed subscription (in months) and multiplying this by the number of full months left on your renewed Subscription Services subscription on the date of termination.
For example, if you auto-renew your subscription for 12 months, but cancel that subscription with 6 full months remaining, we will refund 50% of your relevant Subscription Fees.
(iii) more than 60 days after your latest Subscription Renewal Billing Date, if you have paid by installment payments, no refunds will be due (as no Subscription Services will have been paid for in advance of the current month in this case).
-
We may terminate your Subscription Services at any time by 30 days’ written notice (such notice to take effect on or after your next Subscription Renewal Billing Date).
6.3 Delinquent Accounts. We may suspend or terminate access to the Subscription Services where:
- you fail to pay any amount due under these Terms;
- you do not provide us with payment information;
- your payment information cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable;
- you abandon or otherwise seek to terminate your Subscription Services without having the right to do so under these Terms; or
- you are otherwise in breach of your obligations under these Terms, our Website Terms of Use or the HomePass Membership and Services Agreement.
In addition to the amount due for the Subscription Service, a delinquent account may be charged with fees or charges that arise as a result of any chargeback or collection of any of the unpaid amount, including collection of Subscription Fees.
If your account is delinquent during any Minimum Subscription Plan Term, we may also (by written notice) require the return of any Products which we provided without additional charge in relation to that Minimum Subscription Plan Term. We reserve the right to temporarily or permanently disable any such Products which are not returned to us following any such notice.
We reserve the right to contact you via text, phone, email and post to pursue any missed or late payments or Early Termination Charges (see Section 6.4 below). We may also to pass on your details to any third-party debt collectors we use to recover outstanding account balances.
6.4 EARLY TERMINATION CHARGE
We reserve the right to charge you an “Early Termination Charge” if we terminate your contract during your Minimum Subscription Plan Term as a result of your default or failure to pay sums which you owe to us.
The Early Termination Charge will not be more than 70% of the amount you would have paid for your Subscription Services and Products for the remainder of your Minimum Subscription Plan Term. This reduced payment reflects:
- the amounts we save in not providing the Subscription Services to you for the remainder of the Minimum Subscription Plan Term; and
- the benefit to us of receiving the Early Termination Charge sooner than we would have received the Subscription Fees during the Minimum Subscription Plan Term.
We will give you notice at least 30 days’ notice of our intention to raise an Early Termination Charge. We may then charge any such Early Termination Charge directly to any payment method which you have provided us with details of for payment of the Subscription Fees.
We will not charge an Early Termination Charge where you have the right to terminate or cancel your Subscription Services under these Terms (e.g. if you are exercising your rights of cancellation under Section 6.1 (Cancellation and Termination of Subscription Services)).
7. PRODUCT CANCELLATIONS, RETURNS AND DEFECTS.
7.1 Product Returns
-
If, for any reason, you want to cancel an Order for individual Products you purchased directly from the Store, you must notify us within the Cancellation Period (see Section 6.1 (Cancellation and Termination of Subscription Services)).
-
If you cancel an Order within the Cancellation Period and we have not shipped the Product(s), we will process the refund due to you for the Product(s) as soon as possible and, in any case, within 14 days after you notify us of cancellation. If we have shipped the Products, we will process the refund due to you within 14 days of our receipt of the returned Product(s). Such refund shall be subject to the reasonable care requirements set out in Section 7.2 below.
-
To initiate a return, you must inform us of your decision within the Cancellation Period by contacting Plume customer support on +44 808 168 7581 and clearly stating your desire to return the Product. You can also notify us of your decision to cancel by using the model cancellation form set out in Section 6.1(b) (Cancellation and Termination of Subscription Services). When you exercise your right to cancel, you will also need to complete the returns form available on our website here and submit that form and other information as we may reasonably request to Plume customer support at [email protected].
Although it will not affect your right to a refund, please include details of how and when you purchased the Product and your reason for returning the Product.
Plume customer service will provide you with a Return Materials Authorisation (“RMA”). The RMA should be included with your return shipment so we can identify your shipment and return address.
-
If you purchased the Product from somewhere other than the Store, please contact that reseller in connection with returns and refunds as we cannot, and have no obligation, to process returns and/or refunds for Products not purchased via the Store.
7.2 You must take reasonable care of the Product(s) while in your possession prior to any refund claim. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we have the right to deduct the cost of any deterioration in the Product(s), up to our then standard price for the Product(s), from any refund to which you are otherwise entitled. Such deterioration includes use which goes beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Product(s) (e.g., beyond what would normally be permitted in a shop).
7.3 To receive a refund under this Section 7, you must return your Product (and any promotional merchandise supplied with the Product) within the 14 days following the day on which you notify Plume customer support that you desire to return your Product(s).
Where the Product is not damaged or faulty, and meets its specification, you will be responsible for all costs associated with returning the Product to us (including uninstallation and the cost of shipping the Product(s) back to Plume), provided that, we may, as a courtesy, include return shipping labels at our discretion with some Products.
Subject to Section 7.2 above, we will refund the price you paid for the Product(s) plus the original delivery cost (if applicable).
If you received any promotional or other discount when you paid, any refund will only reflect the amount you actually paid.
7.4 Defective Products. If any Product you order is damaged, faulty or otherwise does not meet its specification when delivered to you, or has developed a fault, you may have one or more legal remedies available to you, depending on when you make us aware of the problem. This includes Products provided as part of a Subscription Plan. If you believe a Product was delivered damaged or faulty or has developed a fault, you should inform us as soon as possible, preferably in writing, giving your name, address and order reference. Nothing in this Section 7 affects your legal rights.
In the case of such a return, Plume customer service will provide you with a return shipping label and RMA. The RMA should be included with your return shipment so we can identify your shipment and return address.
Below is a summary of your key legal rights, these are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product your legal rights entitle you to the following:
-
- Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get an immediate refund.
- Up to six months: if your goods can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases.
- Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.
