Buyer Terms of Service
Buyer Terms of Service
Introduction to our Services
These terms and conditions create a contract between you ("Buyer") and Malum (“Agreement”) and govern your use of the Services.
Malum is the Merchant of Record for the Supplier and authorised reseller of the Product which means that you acquire the Product from Malum using the Services, but it is licensed by the Supplier.
Please read the Agreement carefully. By placing an order with us, you agree to the terms and conditions set out in both this Agreement and the Seller Agreement.
If you are a Consumer, you will benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you are resident. Nothing in this Agreement, including the Governing Law clause, affects your rights as a consumer to rely on such mandatory provisions of local law.
WHERE A PRODUCT IS DIGITAL CONTENT WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE DOWNLOAD, BY DOWNLOADING THE PRODUCT, YOU CONSENT TO IMMEDIATE PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU WILL LOSE YOUR RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL FROM THIS AGREEMENT ONCE THE DOWNLOAD OR STREAMING OF THE DIGITAL CONTENT HAS BEGUN.

"Confidential Information" means any commercial, financial or technical information, information relating to the Product, the Services, plans or strategy, know-how or trade secrets which is obviously confidential or has been identified as such, or which is developed by a party in performing its obligations under, or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement;
“Consumer” means a Buyer who is purchasing the Product or using the Services wholly or mainly for their personal use;

"Supplier" means the licensor and supplier of the Product;
"Supplier Agreement" means the Supplier's terms and conditions in respect of the Product;
“Services” means Malum’s services through which you can buy, get, licence, or download the Product; and
“Transaction” means acquiring the Product via our Services for free or for a charge.
Software
Where any Product supplied is, or includes, software (“Software”), this Software is licensed by us or by the relevant licensor/owner subject to the relevant end-user licence agreement, or other licence terms included with Software (or other applicable terms associated with non-Software Products, including recurring purchases or billing services).
Payments and Refunds
Malum will charge your chosen payment method (such as your credit card, debit card, or any other methods available) for any paid Transactions, including any applicable fees. If you pre-order the Product, you’ll be charged upfront, during which time you can request a refund for whatever reason until the content is delivered, after which the standard refund policy applies.
You agree to receipt of all invoices and receipts in an electronic format, which includes email. Product prices may change at any time. If technical problems prevent or unreasonably delay delivery of the Product, your exclusive and sole remedy is either replacement of the Product or refund of the price paid, as determined by Malum. When providing us with your information, you must ensure that it’s up-to-date and accurate. Malum will not be responsible for the event of non-receipt of the Product due to incorrect information being provided. To make amendments to your order, please contact us at [email protected]. We reserve the right to not fulfil and to cancel orders if we’re unable to obtain payment authorisation from the issuer of your payment card.
Chargebacks
We understand that there may be occasions where you may not recognise or wish to dispute a payment made to Malum in relation to a Transaction.
Chargeback is a mechanism for your payment card issuer (at their discretion) to reclaim money from a retailer’s bank. This can allow your card issuer to provide you with a refund in a number of circumstances, including:
if you do not get the Product you paid for;
if you are charged the wrong amount, or charged twice by mistake;
if the payment was made fraudulently.
You agree to contact Malum prior to raising a request for a chargeback or any dispute with your bank or card issuer in relation to any Transaction.
We recognise that chargebacks can happen for a variety of reasons. However, if you make a card payment through Malum, and later dispute a legitimate charge by raising a chargeback without merit or legitimate reason (as determined at our sole discretion), whether fraudulently or otherwise, then we reserve the right to prohibit you from using our Services by providing compelling evidence to refute your invalid chargeback request.
Termination and Suspension of Services
If you fail, or Malum suspects that you have failed, to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement, Malum may, without notice to you: (i) terminate this Agreement, and you will remain liable for all amounts due up to and including the date of termination; and/or (ii) terminate your license to the software; and/or (iii) preclude your access to the Services. Malum further reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services (or any part thereof) at any time with or without notice to you, and Malum will not be liable to you or to any third party should it exercise such rights. To the extent possible, Malum will warn you in advance of any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service. Termination of the Service will not affect any rights accrued thereunder or the Product that you have already acquired.
Where Malum suspects that fraudulent activities are being conducted by you, we have the right to cancel and block your usage of our Services without notice. Malum may also liaise with relevant authorities for law enforcement and financial crime prevention reasons and pass your details on to authorities should evidence be found confirming malicious or fraudulent or other criminal activity.
Consumer Right to Cancel
If you are a Consumer, you have the right to cancel this Agreement and return the Product within 2 days without giving any reason. The cancellation period will expire after 2 days from the day of completion of the Transaction.
To cancel your order, you must inform us of your decision. To ensure immediate processing, please do so by contacting us at [email protected]. You also have the right to inform us by making any other clear statement. If you use our “Contact Us” form online, we will communicate acknowledgment of receipt of your cancellation request to you without delay.
Effect of Cancellation
If you cancel this Agreement, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you minus any fees.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 2 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this Agreement.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction and you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
Exception to the Right to Cancel
Your right as a Consumer to cancel your order does not apply to digital products after you have started to download, view or stream these and to Products which you have had the benefit of.
Refund Policy
Refunds are provided at the sole discretion of Malum and on a case-by-case basis and may be refused. Malum will refuse a refund request if we find evidence of fraud, refund abuse, or other manipulative behaviour that entitles Malum to counterclaim the refund.
This does not affect your rights as a Consumer in relation to Products which are not as described, faulty or not fit for purpose.
Contract Changes
Malum reserves the right at any time to modify this Agreement and to add new or additional terms or conditions on your use of the Services. Such modifications and additional terms and conditions will be communicated to you and if accepted, will be effective immediately and will be incorporated into this Agreement. In the event you refuse to accept such changes, Malum will have the right to terminate the Agreement.
Transfer to Supplier
This Agreement and Malum’s rights and obligations under this Agreement will be transferred automatically to the Supplier upon receipt of a written notice from the Supplier requesting the transfer. In such circumstances:

Malum's acquiescence in the breach of a provision of this Agreement or failure to act upon such breach does not waive Malum's right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. Likewise, the delay or failure of Malum to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
