1. What we will do for you

Accurate information: We will aim to ensure that the content of the books and any related products you purchase are accurate as at the date of publication.

We will try to ensure that your purchase progresses smoothly. We will contact you as soon as we can after you’ve submitted your order to let you know what will happen next:

  • If we have the products in stock at the price you requested, we will email to confirm we’ve accepted your order and give you an estimated delivery date.
  • If we are unable to supply the products, we will contact you to see how you’d like to proceed.

If you want to continue with your order, then we will write to confirm the price and that we’ve accepted your order and we will give you an estimated delivery date. 

You can pay using most credit and debit cards and all such payments will be subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your card refuses to authorise payment to us, then we will not be able to confirm your order and no contract will exist between us.
