Free Trial
Eligibility for a Free Trial
Free trials are only available to new subscribers to
Siansplan.com. Previous subscribers or triallists do not qualify
for a free trial. The free trial is available only once to any one
person. Subsequent free trials by the same person at any address,
or by another person at the same address, are not permitted. You
must have internet access and valid payment details to redeem a
free trial offer.
Your free trial period will commence on the date registration is
completed and the account is successfully created.
Billing Starts unless you Cancel
We will begin billing you at the end of your free trial, and
thereafter on prescribed intervals, monthly unless otherwise
indicated, for the Siansplan.com package that you have chosen,
unless you cancel prior to the end of your free trial. We will
continue to bill you by your chosen payment method for the package
that you have chosen until you complete the cancellation
process.
You must cancel your account (by emailing cancel@siansplan.com)
before the end of your free trial to avoid charges.
Changes to Package or Details during Free
Trial
You may change (upgrade or downgrade) your subscription package
once during a free trial. Any additional, subsequent change to your
subscription package during any free trial period will, in either
case, result in the termination of the free trial and the start of
your regular billing as described.
Payment
As a subscriber to Siansplan.com, you agree that we are
permitted to charge subscription fees and any other charges that
you may incur in connection with your use of Siansplan.com. The
subscription charges for the Siansplan.com package of your
choice will be charged on the day immediately after your free
trial ends (if applicable) or on the first day you subscribe to the
Siansplan.com package of your choice if you are not eligible
for a free trial; and, from then on, on the calendar day
corresponding to the commencement of your membership subscription
(each, a "Subscription Renewal Date"). This charge will continue on
each Subscription Renewal Date thereafter unless and until you
cancel, and regardless of how much you use the service. We will
automatically charge you, using your specified payment method, each
period (monthly unless otherwise specified) (your "Subscription
Month") on or after your Subscription Renewal Date. All fees and
charges are non-refundable. If you wish to use a different payment
method, or if there is a change in your card validity or expiry
date, you may edit payment details by emailing us at
editaccount@siansplan.com. We do not provide refunds for
cancellations part-way through the billing period. Please note that
should your account fall into arrears, we reserve the right to pass
on your details to a collection agency for retrieval of the
outstanding debt. There will be a £5 handling charge for all such
cases. You agree not to hold us responsible for banking charges
incurred due to payments on your account.
Change of package
You may upgrade or downgrade your Siansplan.com subscription
package as often as you like, by emailind us at
editaccount@siansplan.com. Any upgrade or downgrade is measured by
the different monthly costs of the Rental Services you are changing
from and to, not by the features of those different services. Any
reduction in your bill resulting from a downgrade will take effect
at the next billing period. Any increase in your bill resulting
from an upgrade will take effect immediately, being pro-rated to
the remainder of your billing period, and the increase will be
charged immediately (without changing any subsequent billing
dates). Additional charges, resulting from an upgrade, are
non-refundable. Any change to your subscription package during your
free trial, will result in the termination of the free trial and
the start of your regular billing.

Do's and Dont's of Adding Recipes to siansplan.com
- Do take your time and enjoy adding your recipes. You are
building a 'Personal Online Family Cook Book' which you can use for
meal planning and creating your weekly shopping list as well as
sharing recipes
- Do add a short description such as nutritional specification,
where/who you amended the recipe from, your inspiration for this
recipe and/or a story about the recipe -this helps to make each
recipe unique.
- Do use recipes you know work, rather than hoping they
work.
- Do use your own words to describe the method for each recipe.
We all have a unique way of writing, it makes reading the recipe
much more interesting.
- Do check over each recipe before you press the final save
button
- Do be courteous if you are adapting a recipe from a website by
including the site's original website page, and if you're adapting
a recipe from a cookbook, state the name of the cookbook and the
author.
- Do include recipes that have inspired you but you have changed
a number of ingredients and re-written the method in your own
words, again be courteous and state that this recipe was inspired
by (eg Sian Breslin).
- Do ask if someone gives you permission to use a recipe, whether
they want to be acknowledged. (When you have permission from anyone
to use their recipe, it can be written word for word - professional
chef's and celebrities etc. must be acknowledged.)
- Don't copy word for word recipes from books, magazines,
leaflets and online - even your favourite celebrity cook won't
appreciate you doing that without permission.
- Do add a photograph of your dish, preferably in natural
light.
- Do persevere, the time spent adding your favourite recipes now,
will help you achieve your reasons for becoming a member of
siansplan.com
