MORE TO LIFE THAN SHOES TERMS & CONDITIONS

Here are our terms and conditions – please take a moment to read them through, before you join us. This is a legal document so it is quite complicated, but we’ve done our best to make it as easy as possible to understand.

By the way – throughout this document we’re talking about www.moretolifethanshoes.com, the website provided by There’s More to Life Than Shoes Ltd. We might refer to the site as "we," "us," or "our" we go along. These terms and conditions only apply to www.moretolifethanshoes.com and not to any of the sites to which we have links.

Just so you know, these terms and conditions can change at any time, but if we do make any major changes that affect our members we will let you know so you can make sure you’re happy with them.
