How the contract is formed between you and us

After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, following payment, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (Order Completed Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Order Completion Confirmation.

The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Order Completion Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Confirmation. If your Order contains pre-order titles these items will be dispatched as soon as reasonably possible, after the products have arrived in stock. If your order contains a mixture of in stock and pre-order items, the order will be dispatched separately. The in stock items will be dispatched first, pre-orders will be dispatched after the publication date of the pre-order book.

Missing Orders

If you think your order is delayed or has not arrived in a timely manner (please allow up to 28 days) please contact us on sales@cahilldavispublishing.co.uk . If you message us via DM on any social media site it is likely we will not see it. Please allow 48 hours for us to answer queries sent through this email address.

Events outside our control

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 (Force Majeure Event).

A Force Majeure Event includes any act, event, non-happening, omission or accident beyond our reasonable control and includes in particular (without limitation) the following:

(a) strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action;

(b) civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war;

(c) fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster;

(d) impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport;

(e) impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks; and

(f) 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.

Refunds

We offer a refund to customers within 14 days of delivery of your goods. You will need to notify us within the 14 days that you want to return your purchase for a refund. You will then have another 14 days to return the goods once you’ve told us you wish to return them.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it.

Due to the immediate delivery of files, digital goods are exempt from being returned, specifically:

  • Books with obvious signs of use.
  • Any item not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error.
  • Any item that is returned more than 30 days after delivery.

Your refund will include an amount to cover the least expensive delivery option we offer to your location, unless your order included free delivery. In this case, no additional refund will be given as no postage was paid by the customer.
