4. Purchase of products
a. Ordering
By placing an order on the website you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into binding contracts.
b. Contract
When buying products from us, you are entering a legally binding contract. After placing an order, you will receive an email acknowledgement that we have received that order. This constitutes your offer to us to buy a product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us. We may choose not to accept your order for any reason and will not be liable to you or to anyone else in those circumstances. We will confirm acceptance of your order by sending an SMS/email that tells you the product has been despatched (‘Despatch Confirmation’). The contract between us will only be formed when we send the Despatch Confirmation. The contract will only relate to those products where despatch has been confirmed in the Despatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other products which may have been part of your order until the despatch of such products has been confirmed in a separate Despatch Confirmation.
c. Maximum quantities
Postscript Books has limited quantities of any given title and for fairness to all our customers we limit each order to a maximum of three copies per title. If you require more than three copies of a title, please contact help@psbooks.co.uk or call Customer Services on 01626 897123.
5. Cancellation
We reserve the right to cancel the contract between you and us if:
• we have insufficient stock to supply the products you have ordered
• we do not deliver to your area
• one or more of the products ordered was listed at an incorrect price
If we cancel your order we will notify you by email or telephone and will credit to your account any sum deducted by us from your payment as soon as possible. You can apply for a refund of any credit on your account by contacting Customer Services.
6. Product descriptions
