How will I know once the free trial is over?

A message will appear above our website navigation to remind you how many days of the free trial you have left. You must be logged in to see this. 

You will also receive emails from us providing you with helpful information on how you can get the most out of your free trial. These emails will confirm how many days of the free trial are left.

Once your free trial is over, if you haven’t taken up one of our fantastic subscription deals then we will email you approximately seven days later to remind you.

What details do you need and why?

Your name, address and phone number are required when you subscribe to our service, so requesting them at the start of the free trial means we don’t need to ask you again once the trial is over.
