Terms and Conditions of Purchase
(CUT) Cut a Long Story Limited)
1) Introduction
Please read these terms and conditions of purchase carefully.
You will be asked to agree to them when you place an order for an e-book download on our website.
2) Interpretation
In these terms and conditions of purchase, “we” means “Cut a Long Story Limited (and “us” and “our” will be construed accordingly); “you” means our customer or potential customer for downloads (and “your” will be construed accordingly); and “e-book/s” means the e-book or e-books that you purchase from our website.
3) Order Process
The advertising of downloads on our website constitutes an “invitation to treat”; and your order for downloads constitutes a contractual offer. The terms and conditions of purchase will not come into force between you and us unless and until we accept your order in accordance with the procedure detailed below.
In order to enter into the download agreement, you will need to take the following steps:
(i) you must add any download/s you wish to purchase to your shopping cart, and then proceed to the checkout; (ii) at checkout, you must confirm your order and your consent to the terms and conditions of purchase; (iii) you will be transferred to the PayPal website, and PayPal will handle your payment; (iv) we will send you an email confirmation of your order, with your downloaded e-books attached.
We will not file a copy of the terms and conditions of purchase specifically in relation to your order. We may update the version of the terms and conditions of purchase on the website from time to time, and we do not guarantee that the version you have agreed to will remain accessible. We therefore recommend that you print and retain a copy of the terms and conditions of purchase for your records.
The only language in which we provide the terms and conditions of purchase is English.
Before you place your order, you will have the opportunity of identifying whether you have made any input errors by checking the contents of your basket. You may correct those input errors before placing your order.
4) Downloads
The download/s will take the form of e-book/s as selected from our website.
5) Price and Payment
Prices for downloads are quoted on our website. The website contains a large number of e-books available to download and it is possible that some of the prices on the website may be incorrect. We will verify prices as part of our sale procedures so that a download's correct price will be stated when you pay for the download.
Payment must be made upon the submission of your order. We may withhold the download/s if the price is not received from you on time, in full, in cleared funds.
The prices on the website include all value added taxes (where applicable).
Payment for all downloads must be made by debit card, credit card, Paypal account, or other method indicated in our checkout process.
Prices for downloads are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect download agreements that have come into force.
