read the latest distance selling regs. They cannot contract out of them just because they want to. But, they could make a deduction from the refund to reflect your use.
Read the regs - they're simple enough to understand.
I dont want to return the computer, If they wont back down then il take it as a lesson learnt and get what i can for the code and go back to office 2007.Read the regs - they're simple enough to understand.

I see where you're coming from OP however regarding the Xbox subscription...
I'm assuming if you purchased a Xbox One that shipped with a subscription to Xbox Live, you'd know it wasn't perpetual? The same is true here.
True but I honestly did not know the new office was subscription based.I'm assuming if you purchased a Xbox One that shipped with a subscription to Xbox Live, you'd know it wasn't perpetual? The same is true here.
Surely they should have said if it was 12 months, 1 month, 3 months etc?

If there is more than one option for office365 then should they not show this? I honestly not aware it was subsription based until after i tried to activate my copy.
There are only two options, and it was hardly going to be £70 per month. Is it only me that does at least a bit of research before diving into a purchase, rather than relying on luck? You could have found this out within about 60 seconds of typing "Office 365" into a search engine.Mr2Mike said:

It wasn't subscription for office 2007, I had no idea it would be for this one. I didn't question it. Lesson learnt.callmedave said:

It's a poor description by Littlewoods.

This is a significant difference to the days of paying once for ownership of the damn thing for eternity, and I am surprised nay concerned that people aren't spotting this before they commit .
I also would not have been aware of what this product is , never having used any form of Office ( I am a Mac user and always used Claris/AppleWorks then iWork for that sort of stuff ) .
However , I know that subscription software is the industry's answer to piracy and have been quite happy to take out my Adobe Creative Cloud subscription which is inexpensive ( compared to buying a full version of Photoshop every few years ) and keeps itself up to date with minimal hassle .
