# The Channel Agreement - what you have to do
1. As a Channel customer, you have to buy at least six Products at the Channel Price.
You must buy at least one of those six Products every three months after you join. If you fail to fulfil this agreement by not selecting a Product in any one period of three months, we will recommend a Channel Selection to you that we think matches your preferences in music or film. If you don't want to receive this Channel Selection, simply buy any other title from our huge range within the specified time and we will cancel it for you. If we send the Channel selection, your account will then be charged accordingly.
2. If you don't buy six Products at the Channel Price within the time period set out in paragraph 4.1 above, or if you cancel your Channel account before you've bought six Products at the Channel Price, you'll be liable to an Agreement Fee of £25. This covers the value of the discount received for your account Opening Offer plus the costs associated with setting up and maintaining your Channel account. NB: The Opening Offer, free items, sale or promotional price or loyalty price products don't count towards the Channel Agreement.
3. If you opened a Channel account via a "free Products plus Vouchers" offer, Products you buy with the Vouchers won't count towards the Channel Agreement. If you then don't fulfil the Channel Agreement or cancel your account before buying six Products at the Channel Price within the agreed Period, you'll be liable to an Agreement Fee of £25. This covers the value of the discount received for your account Opening Offer plus the costs associated with setting up and maintaining your Channel account.
4. If you joined Channel via an offer to buy at least 3 Products a year at the Channel Price within the first two years after you first open a Channel account, at least 3 of these Products must be bought within the first 12 months following your opening a Channel account. NB: The Opening Offer, free items, sale or promotional price or loyalty price Products don't count towards the Channel Agreement.
# Legal costs and charges for late payments
1. If you've fulfilled the Channel Agreement but haven't paid the total balance on any statement within the set time, you'll be liable to a late payment fee of £5. If your payment is rejected for any reason, (by way of example only, if your cheque bounces) you'll be liable to an administration fee of £10 to cover the processing and administration costs we incur. We reserve the right to alter these amounts. You'll only have to pay this if you don't pay the closing balance on the overdue statement by the date on our notification. If you haven't fulfilled the Channel Agreement and haven't paid the total balance on a statement by the date on our notification, you'll be liable to pay the Agreement Fee described under Condition 4.
2. Unless prevented by the Civil Procedure Rules 1998, if we start any court proceedings to recover money owed by you to us to legally enforce our rights under these Terms and Conditions, you'll have to pay all reasonable and legitimate costs and expenses we incur for any advice we receive on the proceedings. You'll also have to pay any court fees we've had to pay. Your liability for these costs and expenses is separate from any order the court makes for costs to be paid.
