Any personal information provided, including payment information, will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Notice.

We may make minor changes to our Subscription models and Products to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulations, to implement minor adjustments or improvements, provided that such changes do not affect your use of the Subscription or Product.

Price

The price of the Products and Subscriptions includes VAT and will be the price indicated on the order page when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Products and Subscriptions indicated to you is correct. If the Product and/or Subscription’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.

After the end of the Original Subscription Period, we reserve the right to change the amount we charge for Subscriptions. In such an event, we will notify you in advance, and give you an opportunity to continue or discontinue your Subscription. More information about any such Subscriptions can be found on the Site.

Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. Please check the order carefully before confirming it. You are responsible for ensuring that your order is complete and accurate.

Acceptance:

We will take your payment for Products and the Original Subscription Period upon your placement of your order. For Subscriptions beyond the Original Subscription Period, we will take your payment at the start of the renewed Subscription period.

Our acceptance of your order will take place when we send a confirmation email, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.

If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you or refund you for the Product or Subscription. This might be because the Product or Subscription is out of stock or because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for.

Delivery:

The cost of delivery will be as displayed to you on our Site. Delivery of Products, Publications, and Subscriptions is as follows:

• For Products, we will deliver them to you as soon as reasonably possible.
• For one-off digital content, we will make the Publication accessible or available for download as soon as we accept your order.
• For Subscriptions, we will continue supplying the Publication to you for the duration of the Original Subscription Period and until you terminate the contract after the Original Subscription Period.

If our supply of the Product is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. As such, we will not be liable for delays, but if there is a substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any Products you have paid for but not received.

If, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract with you.

Exchanges and Refunds:

Cooling off period: If you have changed your mind or are not happy with your purchased Product or Subscription, you can cancel the contract within 14 days of receiving it, or within 14 days of entering into the Subscription contract (“Cooling Off Period”). In such case, please notify us in writing (within the Cooling Off Period) that you have changed your mind and return the Product the shortest possible timeframe (but in any case no later than 14 days after cancellation of the contract) along with your receipt. Returned items must be unused, in a saleable condition and include all original packaging. You will bear the costs of returning the Products to us. Please note that this cancellation right will not apply if you have chosen to waive the Cooling Off Period by accessing online – or downloading – our Publications through the Site during the Cooling Off Period

Faulty goods: If your Product is goods, we must deliver goods as described, fit for purpose, and of satisfactory quality. So if the Products are faulty or mis-described, please contact us with a photo of the Product and we will replace them. If we ask you to send these faulty Products back to us, we will pay for the costs of returning the Products.

Refunds: A refund may be available for Products purchased through the Site.  Any refunds will be issued to your original payment method. Subject to the exceptions set out in these Terms, if you cancel your contract during the Cooling Off Period and return the Products within 14 days of cancellation, we will refund the price paid for the Product/Subscription. We may deduct from this price any enhanced delivery charges that you chose to purchase and make adjustments for the loss of any value of the Products supplied if the loss is due to unnecessary handling by you.

Subscriptions: Subscriptions are purchased for the Original Subscription Period and renew automatically after the end of the Original Subscription Period. Subscriptions may be terminated at any time by giving us a one month’s written notice before the end of the Original Subscription Period. Beyond the Cooling Off period, all Subscriptions are strictly non-refundable and not returnable during the Original Subscription Period.
