eBook T&Cs
The sale and purchase of products via this application website is by a contract between you and us, formed when you have placed an order. Once your order has been placed, the purchased eBook shall appear in your ‘Owned’ or ‘My Library section’. Alternatively, for a hardcopy book purchase, once we have accepted your order, we will send you an order confirmation.
Please note that as soon as we confirm your eBook order, it will enter our electronic system and we will be unable to prevent it being dispatched to your account. In addition, no refunds or exchanges will be given on eBooks unless the supplied file is faulty or a fault occurs during the book being made available to you, i.e. during download. If either case should sadly arise, then you should contact Customer Care [email protected] who will be able to resolve this issue for you.

Furthermore, in making a purchase, you agree and recognise that:

• eBooks will be supplied for in-app reading or downloadable in a number of formats. It is therefore the responsibility of the purchaser to obtain a copy of the appropriate software necessary for viewing the eBook.

• Packt Publishing Ltd reserves the right to make changes to the books’ format availability at any time and for any reason so long as a copy of the eBook remains available elsewhere.

•Any purchase of an eBook file entitles the purchaser to a copy of that file, which may be shared between any device(s) owned by and registered to that purchaser.

• All products listed and sold via this application are copyright ownership of Packt Publishing Ltd, and making illegal copies of your ebook files will be considered a breach of copyright, against which legal action will be taken.

• The premises for delivery will be the address (e-mail or otherwise) supplied by the purchaser at the time of purchase, and that these details are ultimately the responsibility of the purchaser. For eBook purchases, these will also be held in your ‘My Library’ area.

• Packt Publishing’s eBook files are safe for download and do not carry any malware that could harm and/or damage the purchaser’s eReader/computer/device or smartphone. However, all eBook files are bought at the purchaser’s risk, and purchasers should take the necessary steps to ensure the safety of their eReader, computer, device or smartphone.

• That the purchaser is solely responsible for the storage of any physical and downloaded content, and that Packt Publishing Ltd cannot be held responsible for the loss of eBook files or any of our products, after their initial receipt, i.e. purchases are held at the purchaser’s own risk and that accidentally deleted/damaged files cannot be replaced by Packt Publishing Ltd. The sole exception to this rule being purchases which are held on the Packt web app where a technical fault/unforeseen error has occurred with the app or the eBook. In this instance, Packt Publishing shall make any previously purchased eBook(s) available to the purchaser as soon as is practical to do so and once any fault or error has been rectified.
