Please read these terms and conditions carefully before ordering any content from our site. By ordering our content, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions and you will need to accept them, before completing your order, by clicking on the button marked "I Accept" at the end of the order process.

1. Placing an order on our site

 

By placing an order through our site, you agree that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts and are at least 18 years old.

 

After placing an order for our Content, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. This does not mean that your order has been accepted by us but it does constitute an offer to us to buy the content. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by giving you confirmation on screen, followed by an email containing a link to access (the confirmation). The contract between us (contract) will only be formed when we send you the confirmation.

 

The contract will only relate to the content we have confirmed in the confirmation.
 

 

2. Price and payment

 

The price of our content is the price in force on the date and at the time on which we process your order. We make every effort to ensure that the prices on our website are accurate.

 

Nevertheless, as our site contains a large number of content items it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the content listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our order procedures and the price quoted on the website will be the price you pay. However we are under no obligation to provide the content to you at an incorrect lower price quoted on our website, even after we have sent you a confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a misprice.

 

All prices include VAT.

 

Payment for all content must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment with Visa, MasterCard, Visa Debit, Solo and Maestro. Your card is pre-authorised at the time of making your order, with the payment being taken from your card at the end of the working day on which you make your order.


 

3. Consumer rights

 

If you are contracting as a consumer and have purchased content then you may cancel at any time within seven working days beginning on the day after you received the information from us about how to access the content, provided that you have neither accessed nor made any attempt to access the content in which case this right to cancel shall not apply.

 

If you are eligible, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the content using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.

 

To cancel, you must inform us in writing.
 

 

4. Warranty and limitation of liability

 

We warrant to you that any content purchased through our site is of satisfactory quality and reasonably fit for all the purposes for which content of that kind are commonly supplied.

 

All other express or implied terms, conditions, warranties or representations with regard to the content, this website or any information or service provided by us through this website are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

Our liability for losses you suffer as a result of buying the content(s) is strictly limited to the purchase price of the content you purchased.

 

This provision does not in any way exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or for fraudulent misrepresentation or for any other matter for which it would be illegal for us to exclude or limit, or attempt to exclude or limit, our liability.

 

We accept no liability for any failure to deliver, or for any delay in delivering, the content, nor for any defect or damage to the content that is caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
 

 

5. Written communications

 

Applicable laws require that some of the information or communications we send to you should be in writing. When using our site, you accept that communication with us will be mainly electronic. We will contact you by e-mail or provide you with information by posting notices on our website. For contractual purposes, you agree to this electronic means of communication and you acknowledge that all contracts, notices, information and other communications that we provide to you electronically comply with any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. This condition does not affect your statutory rights.


 

6. Notices

 

All notices given by you to us must be given to Cambridge University Press at cet.support@cambridge.org (for all non-legal notices) or legalservices@cambridge.org (for all legal notices). We may give notice to you at either the e-mail or postal address you provide to us when placing an order. Notice will be deemed received and properly served immediately when posted on our website, 24 hours after an e-mail is sent, or three days after the date of posting of any letter.
 

 

7. Transfer of rights and obligations

 

The contract between you and us is binding on you and us and on our respective successors and assigns. You may not transfer, assign, charge or otherwise dispose of a contract, or any of your rights or obligations arising under it, without our prior written consent. We may transfer, assign, charge, sub-contract or otherwise dispose of a contract, or any of our rights or obligations arising under it, at any time during the term of the contract.
 

 

8. Force majeure

 

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under a contract that is caused by events outside our reasonable control, including but not restricted to, strikes, lock-outs, riot, terrorist attack, war, fire, explosion, natural disaster, impossibility of the use of public or private transport or public or private telecommunications networks or the acts, decrees, legislation, regulations or restrictions of any government.

 

Our performance under any contract is deemed to be suspended for the period that the force majeure event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the force majeure event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the contract may be performed despite the force majeure event.
 

 

9. Waiver

 

If we fail, at any time during the term of a Contract, to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under the Contract or any of these terms and conditions, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the Contract, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations. A waiver by us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default.


 

10. Severability

 

If any of these terms and conditions or any provisions of a contract are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
 

 

11. Entire agreement

 

These terms and conditions, as amended from time to time, and any document expressly referred to in them represent the entire agreement between us in relation to the subject matter of any contract and supersede any prior agreement, understanding or arrangement between us, whether oral or in writing.

 

We each acknowledge that, in entering into a contract, neither of us has relied on any representation, undertaking or promise given by the other or be implied from anything said or written in negotiations between us prior to such contract except as expressly stated in these terms and conditions.

 

Neither of us shall have any remedy in respect of any untrue statement made by the other, whether orally or in writing, prior to the date of any contract (unless such untrue statement was made fraudulently) and the other party’s only remedy shall be for breach of contract as provided in these terms and conditions.


 

12. Our right to vary these terms and conditions

 

We may amend these terms and conditions at any time and any revised version will be effective immediately that it is displayed on our sites. You will be subject to the policies and terms and conditions in force at the time that you order Content from us, unless any change to those policies or these terms and conditions is required to be made by law or governmental authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by you), or if we notify you of the change to those policies or these terms and conditions before we send you the confirmation (in which case we have the right to assume that you have accepted the change to the terms and conditions, unless you notify us to the contrary within seven working days of receipt by you of the content).
 

 

13. Language

 

This agreement is drafted in the English language. If this agreement is translated into any other language, the English language text shall prevail.


 

14. Law and jurisdiction
