Terms & Conditions

This page outlines the terms and conditions on which we supply services and resources listed on our website www.behappyresources.co.uk via one of our subscription services. Please read these terms and conditions carefully before subscribing. By subscribing to our services, you agree to be bound by them.

Last updated: September 2026

These Terms and Conditions govern subscriptions, digital content and services supplied by Be Happy Books Ltd, trading as Be Happy Resources, through our website.

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before purchasing or subscribing. By placing an order, purchasing a subscription or accessing our subscription content, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.

1. About Us

Be Happy Resources is operated by:

Be Happy Books Ltd
Registered in England and Wales
Company Number: 12586813
Website: www.behappyresources.co.uk
Email: hello@behappyresources.co.uk

2. Eligibility

By purchasing a subscription, you confirm that:

• you are at least 18 years old;
• you are legally capable of entering into a binding contract;
• the information you provide to us is accurate and complete; and
• you are authorised to use the payment method provided.

Subscriptions purchased on behalf of a school, organisation, business or other setting must be purchased by somebody authorised to do so.

3. Our Subscriptions

We currently offer the following subscription services:

Be Happy Resources

Our Be Happy Resources subscriptions provide access to eligible downloadable resources within our resource library, subject to the permissions and restrictions applicable to the subscription purchased.

Current subscription options include:

• Individual Monthly – £4.19 per month
• Individual Annual – £39.99 per year
• Team – £189.99 per year
• Team Plus – £329.99 per year

The exact access and permitted number of users for Team and Team Plus subscriptions will be described on the relevant subscription page at the time of purchase.

Happy News

Happy News is a separate digital subscription providing access to our Happy News Kids and Happy News Teens publications.

Current subscription options are:

• £1.20 per month, or
• £10 per year.

A Happy News subscription includes access to both the Kids and Teens editions.

Happy News is primarily a UK school term-time publication. Issues are therefore not guaranteed to be published every week of the calendar year, including during school holidays.

Monthly subscriptions continue and remain chargeable throughout the year, including months containing school holidays. The monthly price represents the cost of an ongoing subscription and access to the Happy News service as a whole and is not a per-issue charge.

Unless expressly stated otherwise at checkout, purchasing a Happy News subscription does not provide access to the wider Be Happy Resources subscription library, and a Be Happy Resources subscription does not automatically include a Happy News subscription.

4. Prices and VAT

All prices displayed to consumers are inclusive of VAT where applicable, unless clearly stated otherwise.

Subscription prices are those displayed on our website at the time the subscription is purchased.

Payments are processed securely by third-party payment providers, including Stripe and PayPal. We do not directly store full payment card details.

We reserve the right to change our subscription prices. Where a price change affects an existing recurring subscription, we will provide reasonable advance notice before the new price applies.

If you do not wish to continue at the new price, you may cancel your subscription before the change takes effect.

5. Automatic Renewal and Recurring Payments

All subscriptions are recurring subscriptions unless expressly described otherwise at the time of purchase.

By purchasing a subscription, you authorise us and our payment provider to automatically collect the applicable subscription payment from your chosen payment method on each renewal date until the subscription is cancelled.

Monthly subscriptions ordinarily renew each month and annual subscriptions ordinarily renew each year.

Your renewal date is based on the date your subscription began or your applicable billing schedule.

You are responsible for managing your subscription and cancelling it if you no longer wish it to renew.

If a payment fails, our payment provider may make further attempts to collect the amount due. Access to subscription content may be restricted or suspended while payment remains outstanding.

6. Cancelling Your Subscription

You may cancel your subscription at any time.

The quickest way to cancel is through the subscription/account area of our website. Where necessary, you may also contact us at hello@behappyresources.co.uk for assistance.

When cancellation is effective

A cancellation is effective when the cancellation process has been successfully completed and recorded by our system or when we have processed a valid cancellation request received from you.

Where cancellation is completed successfully, you should receive confirmation of the cancellation. We strongly recommend retaining this confirmation for your records.

Cancelling prevents the subscription from renewing again after the cancellation has taken effect.

Unless we tell you otherwise, you will normally retain access to your subscription until the end of the period for which you have already paid.

What does not constitute cancellation

A subscription is not cancelled simply because:

• you stop using the website or resources;
• you no longer log into your account;
• you unsubscribe from marketing emails;
• you delete your account emails;
• you remove or replace a payment card;
• a payment fails;
• you cancel a payment instruction directly with your bank or payment provider without cancelling the underlying subscription; or
• you intended or believed that you had cancelled but the cancellation process was not successfully completed.

If you believe you have cancelled but continue to receive charges, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can investigate. We may ask you to provide evidence of cancellation or details of the transaction so that we can identify the relevant subscription.

Renewal payments

Customers are responsible for cancelling before their next renewal if they do not want their subscription to renew.

Once a recurring payment has been processed, it does not automatically become refundable simply because the customer subsequently decides that they no longer require the subscription.

Nothing in this section affects any cancellation or refund rights you have under applicable consumer law.

7. Digital Content and Your Right to Cancel

Our subscriptions provide access to digital content which may become available immediately after purchase.

Where required by law, before immediate access is provided we may ask you to expressly request that supply of the digital content begins during the statutory cancellation period and acknowledge the effect this may have on your right to cancel.

Where you have expressly requested immediate access and acknowledged that your statutory right to cancel will be lost once supply of the relevant digital content begins, you may lose that cancellation right once the digital content has been supplied.

Where the statutory right to cancel has not been lost, you retain any cancellation rights provided to you by applicable consumer law.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions is intended to remove or restrict any statutory rights that cannot legally be excluded.

8. Refunds

Except where required by law, subscription payments are non-refundable once the relevant subscription period has begun and access to the digital content has been provided.

This includes, but is not limited to:

• forgetting to cancel before renewal;
• no longer requiring the service;
• failing to use the subscription;
• not downloading available resources or issues;
• school holidays or periods during which Happy News is not scheduled for publication;
• purchasing the wrong subscription; or
• failing to cancel a subscription successfully.

We may, at our discretion, issue a full or partial refund as a gesture of goodwill. Doing so on one occasion does not create an obligation for us to provide a refund in the same or similar circumstances in the future.

Where we identify that a payment has genuinely been taken after a subscription was successfully cancelled, we will investigate and, where appropriate, refund any payment incorrectly collected.

Approved refunds will normally be returned to the original payment method.

Your statutory consumer rights are unaffected.

9. Access Following Cancellation

Where a subscription is cancelled, access will normally continue until the end of the period already paid for unless:

• a refund is issued for that period;
• the subscription is terminated by us because of misuse or breach of these Terms;
• the subscription is subject to a different arrangement clearly disclosed at purchase; or
• we are otherwise entitled or required to terminate access.

Once subscription access ends, you must not continue to download new subscription resources.

Resources legitimately downloaded during an active Be Happy Resources subscription may continue to be used in accordance with the licence that applied to your subscription when they were downloaded, but they must not be shared, redistributed, resold or used outside the scope of that licence.

10. Happy News Publication Schedule

Happy News is designed primarily for use during the UK school year.

We aim to publish Kids and Teens editions regularly during school term time, but publication dates and the number of issues produced may vary.

There may be periods during school holidays, including the summer holidays, when no new Happy News issues are published.

The monthly and annual subscription prices reflect access to the Happy News subscription service over the relevant subscription period rather than the purchase of a guaranteed number of individual issues.

We may occasionally change publication dates, combine editions, alter the format or content of Happy News, or pause publication where reasonably necessary.

11. Intellectual Property and Permitted Use

All resources, publications, illustrations, designs, text, branding and other content supplied by Be Happy Resources are owned by or licensed to Be Happy Books Ltd and are protected by intellectual property law.

Purchasing a subscription gives you a licence to use the content in accordance with the subscription purchased. It does not transfer ownership of the content or intellectual property rights to you.

Unless your subscription expressly allows otherwise, you must not:

• resell or commercially redistribute our resources;
• upload resources to another website, shared drive, marketplace, social media platform or resource-sharing service;
• share your account or login details with unauthorised users;
• distribute resources outside the users, pupils, families or setting covered by your licence;
• reproduce our resources as your own work;
• remove copyright notices or branding;
• substantially alter, adapt or repurpose our resources for redistribution or resale;
• use our resources to create competing commercial resources; or
• use our content in any way that infringes our intellectual property rights.

Individual subscriptions

Individual subscriptions are intended for use by the individual subscriber and within the scope stated on the relevant subscription page.

Team and Team Plus subscriptions

Team subscriptions may be used only by the number of authorised users and/or within the setting specified by the applicable plan.

Account sharing beyond the permitted number of users or locations is prohibited.

Happy News

Happy News publications may be printed or displayed for the subscriber’s permitted personal, educational or setting use.

They must not be uploaded publicly, redistributed digitally, resold, forwarded to other organisations or settings, or otherwise made available to people who are not covered by the subscription.

12. Account Security and Misuse

You are responsible for keeping your login information secure.

You must notify us if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.

We reserve the right to restrict, suspend or terminate an account where we reasonably believe that:

• login details are being shared outside the permitted subscription;
• resources are being unlawfully copied, distributed or resold;
• our intellectual property rights are being infringed;
• the service is being used fraudulently;
• payment disputes or chargebacks are being abused; or
• these Terms and Conditions have otherwise been materially breached.

Where access is terminated because of serious or repeated misuse, a refund may not be provided except where required by law.

13. Changes to Resources and Services

We continually develop and update our resources.

Resources may therefore be added, updated, replaced or removed from the subscription library from time to time.

A subscription does not guarantee that any particular individual resource will remain available indefinitely.

We may also make reasonable changes to the design, organisation, functionality or delivery of our website and subscription services.

Where we make a material change that significantly affects the service purchased, we will comply with our obligations under applicable consumer law.

14. Educational and Medical Disclaimer

Our resources are designed to support children’s and young people’s emotional wellbeing, learning and development.

They are not medical, psychological, therapeutic or diagnostic services and should not be treated as a substitute for assessment, diagnosis, treatment or advice from an appropriately qualified professional.

Resources should always be used with appropriate adult judgement and supervision, taking into account the individual child’s age, needs, abilities and circumstances.

If you have concerns about a child’s physical or mental health, development or safety, you should seek advice from an appropriately qualified professional.

15. Safety and Supervision

Some resources may involve activities requiring adult supervision, including cutting, craft materials, movement activities or other practical tasks.

The responsible adult must assess whether an activity is appropriate for the child or young person concerned and provide suitable supervision.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for injury, loss or damage arising from inappropriate use of a resource, failure to provide appropriate supervision, or use contrary to the instructions provided.

16. Availability of the Website

We aim to keep our website and subscription services available, but uninterrupted access cannot be guaranteed.

Access may occasionally be interrupted because of maintenance, technical problems, security issues, hosting failures or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Where possible, we will take reasonable steps to restore access.

Temporary interruption to the website does not automatically entitle a subscriber to a refund, although this does not affect any statutory rights where the service has not been provided with reasonable care and skill or as otherwise required by law.

17. Our Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Subject to those rights, we are not responsible for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable when the contract was entered into or losses caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control.

If you are purchasing as a consumer, nothing in these Terms affects your statutory consumer rights.

If you purchase our services wholly or mainly for business purposes, different legal rights may apply.

18. Reviews and Feedback

If you voluntarily publish or send us a review, testimonial or feedback about our services, we may reproduce or quote that feedback for reasonable promotional purposes.

Where appropriate, we may identify the reviewer by first name, professional role or organisation unless you ask us not to.

We will not intentionally publish private or sensitive personal information provided in correspondence as part of a testimonial.

19. Communications

You agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding your subscription, including payment confirmations, renewal information, price changes, important service updates and cancellation confirmations.

These are service communications and may be sent independently of your marketing communication preferences where necessary to administer your subscription or comply with our legal obligations.

You are responsible for ensuring that the email address associated with your account remains accurate and accessible.

20. Events Outside Our Control

We will not be responsible for a failure or delay in performing our obligations where caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

These may include:

• internet or hosting failures;
• cyber incidents;
• natural disasters;
• industrial action;
• governmental action;
• widespread service disruption; or
• other events that we could not reasonably prevent.

We will take reasonable steps to minimise disruption where possible.

21. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time, including to reflect:

• changes in law or regulation;
• changes to our subscription services;
• new products or subscription types;
• changes in payment or technical systems; or
• reasonable changes to the way we operate our business.

The version published on our website will state when it was last updated.

Where a change materially affects an existing subscription or your rights, we will provide appropriate notice where required.

Nothing in this clause permits us to retrospectively remove statutory rights or impose unfair terms.

22. Transfer of Rights

You may not transfer your subscription or your rights under it to another person or organisation without our written agreement.

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation where permitted by law. Where required, we will notify you and ensure that the transfer does not reduce your statutory rights.

23. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be treated as removed or modified to the minimum extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

24. No Waiver

If we do not immediately enforce a right under these Terms, this does not mean that we have waived that right.

Any waiver relating to one particular breach does not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.

25. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the information provided on the relevant subscription page, our Privacy and Cookies Policy and any other terms expressly incorporated into your purchase, form the agreement between you and us.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or limits any statutory rights that cannot legally be excluded.

26. Privacy and Cookies

We process personal information in accordance with our Privacy and Cookies Policy, available on our website.

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies for purposes including website functionality, security, analytics and, where applicable, marketing.

27. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by English law.

If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom, you may also benefit from mandatory protections provided by the law applicable where you live.

Nothing in these Terms prevents a consumer from exercising any right to bring proceedings in a court available to them under applicable law.
