5. Goods, Pricing and Availability

   1. We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all descriptions and graphical representations of Goods available from Us correspond to the actual Goods. Please note, however, the following:

      1. Images of Goods are for illustrative purposes only. There may be slight variations in colour between the image of a product and the actual product sold due to differences in computer displays and lighting conditions;

      2. Images and/or descriptions of packaging are for illustrative purposes only, the actual packaging of Goods may vary

   2. Please note that sub-Clause 5.1 does not exclude Our responsibility for mistakes due to negligence on Our part and refers only to minor variations of the correct Goods, not to different Goods altogether. Please refer to Clause 9 if you receive incorrect Goods (i.e. Goods that are not as described).

   3. Minor changes may, from time to time, be made to certain Goods, for example, to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, or to address particular technical or security issues. Any such changes will not change any main characteristics of the Goods and will not normally affect your use of those Goods.

   4.      In some cases, as described in the relevant product descriptions, We may also make more significant changes to certain Goods. If We do so, We will inform you at least 14 days in advance of the changes becoming effective. If you are not happy with the changes, you may end the Contract as described below in sub-Clause 11.1.

   5.          We may from time to time withdraw certain products from sale. If any Goods purchased by you (whether as a one-off purchase or by subscription) are likely to be affected by such withdrawal, We will inform you in writing at least 14 days in advance. You will be refunded in full for any Goods paid for that you will not receive due to their withdrawal. Refunds will be made within 14 calendar days of your payment date, using the same payment method that you used when ordering the Goods unless you specifically request that We make a refund using a different method.

   6. We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all prices shown on Our Site are correct at the time of going online. We reserve the right to change prices and to add, alter, or remove special offers from time to time and as necessary. Changes in price will not affect any order that you have already placed (please note sub-Clause 5.9 regarding VAT, however).

   7.      All prices are checked by Us before We accept your Order. In the unlikely event that We have shown incorrect pricing information, We will contact you in writing to inform you of the mistake. If the correct price is lower than that shown when you made your Order, we will simply charge you the lower amount and continue processing your Order. If the correct price is higher, We will give you the option to purchase the Goods at the correct price or to cancel your Order (or the affected part of it). We will not proceed with processing your Order in this case until you respond. If We do not receive a response from you within 14 days, We will treat your Order as cancelled and notify you of this in writing.

   8. In the event that the price of Goods you have ordered changes between your Order being placed and Us processing that Order and taking payment, you will be charged the price shown on Our Site at the time of placing your Order.

   9. All prices on Our Site exclude VAT. If the VAT rate changes between your Order being placed and Us taking payment, the amount of VAT payable will be automatically adjusted when taking payment.

6. Orders – How Contracts Are Formed

   1. Our Site will guide you through the ordering process. Before submitting your Order you will be given the opportunity to review your Order and amend it. Please ensure that you have checked your Order carefully before submitting it.

   2. If, during the order process, you provide Us with incorrect or incomplete information, please contact Us as soon as possible. If We are unable to process your Order due to incorrect or incomplete information, We will contact you to ask to correct it. If you do not give us the accurate or complete information within a reasonable time of Our request, We will cancel your Order and treat the Contract as being at an end. If We incur any costs as a result of your incorrect or incomplete information, We may pass those costs on to you.

   3. No part of Our Site constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance. Your Order constitutes a contractual offer that We may, at Our sole discretion, accept. Our acknowledgement of receipt of your Order does not mean that we have accepted it. Our acceptance is indicated by Us sending you an Order Confirmation by email. Only once We have sent you an Order Confirmation will there be a legally binding Contract between Us and you.

   4. Order Confirmations shall contain the following information:

      1. Your Order Number;

      2. Confirmation of the Goods ordered including full details of the main characteristics of those Goods;

      3. Fully itemised pricing for the Goods ordered including, where appropriate, taxes, delivery and other additional charges;

      4. If your Order is for the regular delivery of Goods by subscription, details of your subscription, including its duration;

          

   5.      In the unlikely event that We do not accept or cannot fulfil your Order for any reason, We will explain why in writing. No payment will be taken under normal circumstances. If We have taken payment any such sums will be refunded to you as soon as possible and in any event within 7 days.

   6. Any refunds due under this Clause 6 will be made using the same payment method that you used when ordering the Goods unless you specifically request that We make a refund using a different method.

       

7. Payment

   1. Payment for Goods and related delivery charges must always be made in advance. Your chosen payment method will not be charged until We dispatch your Goods. If you have chosen to receive Goods as part of an ongoing subscription, you will be billed in advance before each delivery of Goods as per your chosen subscription.

   2.      We accept the payment on Our Site by Debit or Credit Card;

       

   3.          If you do not make any payment due to Us within 7 days of Us reminding you that it is due, We may suspend delivery of the Goods as under sub-Clause 8.7. If you still have not made payment within 14 days of Our reminder, We may cancel the Contract. Outstanding sums (including interest) will remain due and payable and will not be affected by cancellation.

   4. If you believe that We have charged you an incorrect amount, please contact Us as soon as reasonably possible to let us know. You will not be charged interest under sub-Clause 7.3 on any sums disputed in good faith under this sub-Clause 7.4.

       

8. Delivery, Risk and Ownership

   1. All Goods purchased through Our Site will normally be delivered as follows:

      1. For one-off purchases, Goods will normally be delivered within 30 calendar days after the date of Our Order Confirmation unless otherwise agreed or specified during the Order process (subject to delays caused by events outside of Our control, for which see Clause 12);

      2.      For the ongoing supply of Goods by subscription, Goods will normally be delivered on the dates specified in your Order Confirmationand We will continue delivering the Goods until your subscription expires, or until it is ended either by you or Us.

   2. In the unlikely event that We fail to deliver the Goods on time, as described in sub-Clause 8.1, if any of the following apply you may treat the Contract as being at an end immediately:

      1. We have refused to deliver your Goods; or

      2. In light of all relevant circumstances, delivery within that time period was essential; or

      3. You told Us when ordering the Goods that delivery within that time period was essential.

   3. If you do not wish to cancel under sub-Clause 8.2 or if none of the specified circumstances apply, you may specify a new (reasonable) delivery date for the Goods in question. If We fail to meet the new deadline, you may then treat the Contract as being at an end.

   4.      You may cancel some or all of the Goods under sub-Clauses 8.2 or 8.3 provided that separating the Goods is possible and would not significantly reduce their value. Any sums that you have already paid for cancelled Goods and their delivery will be refunded to you within 14 days.

   5. In some limited circumstances We may need to suspend the delivery of Goods to you for one or more of the following reasons:

      1. To fix technical problems with the Goods or to make necessary minor technical changes;

      2. To update the Goods to comply with relevant changes in the law or other regulatory requirements;

      3. To make more significant changes to the Goods, as described above in sub-Clause 5.4.

   6.      If We need to suspend delivery of the Goods for any of the reasons set out in sub-Clause 8.5, We will inform you in advance of the suspension and explain why it is necessary (unless We need to suspend delivery for urgent or emergency reasons such as a dangerous problem with the Goods, in which case We will inform you as soon as reasonably possible after suspension). No payment will be taken from you while delivery is suspended. If suspension lasts (or We tell you that it is going to last) for more than 14 days, you may end the Contract as described below in sub-Clause 11.2.

   7.      We may suspend delivery of the Goods if We do not receive payment on time for those Goods from you. We will inform you of the non-payment on the due date, however if you do not make payment within 14 days of Our notice, We may suspend delivery of the Goods until We have received all outstanding sums due from you. If We do suspend delivery of the Goods, We will inform you of the suspension. You will not be charged for any Goods while delivery is suspended. If you have contacted Us to dispute any charges in good faith (see sub-Clause 5.4) We will not suspend delivery of the Goods.

   8. Delivery shall be deemed complete and the responsibility for the Goods will pass to you once We have delivered the Goods to the address you have provided.

   9. Ownership of the Goods passes to you once we have received payment in full of all sums due (including any applicable delivery charges) for those Goods.

   10. Any refunds due under this Clause 8 will be made using the same payment method that you used when ordering the Goods unless you specifically request that We make a refund using a different method.

        

9. Faulty, Damaged or Incorrect Goods

   1.      By law, We must provide goods that are of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, as described at the time of purchase, in accordance with any pre-contract information We have provided, and that match any samples or models that you have seen or examined (unless We have made you aware of any differences). If any digital content is included in the Goods, that digital content must also conform. If any Goods you have purchased do not comply and, for example, have faults or are damaged when you receive them, or if you receive incorrect (or incorrectly priced) Goods, please contact Us at Vielnouve Publishing, 27 Old Gloucester Street, LONDON, WC1N 3AX, UNITED KINGDOM as soon as reasonably possible to inform Us of the fault, damage or error, and to arrange for a refund, repair or replacement.
