    16.4.2 you consent to us making the Publication available to you before the end of the legal cancellation period of 14 days; and

    16.7 A Contract for the sale of the Publication is made between us at the time we make the Publication available to you for download, whether by sending you a link to your purchase in the order confirmation email or otherwise.  Accordingly, nothing that we say or do will amount to any acceptance of your offer until we actually make the Publication available to you to view, download or otherwise access, at which point a Contract will be made between us unless, prior to making the Publication available, we have notified you that we do not accept your order. 

    17) Cancellation rights

    17.1 When you place an order with us for a Publication, our service to you begins immediately because we will start taking steps to fulfil your order straight away, even if it might take a short while before the order is fulfilled.  By accepting these Terms, you consent to us making the Publication available to you within the 14 day legal cancellation period and you acknowledge that you will not be able to cancel any order you place with us for our Publications once we have made the Publication available to you.  This does not affect your statutory rights if the Publication is defective.

    18) Defective and replacement Publications

    18.1 If you receive a corrupted copy, incorrect file format version or incomplete copy of your Publication, please contact us in the first instance.  You will need to quote your order number and the details of the Publications ordered with which you are experiencing issues, so please have these to hand.

    27) General

    27.1 Severability.  If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable as a matter of law, all other parts of these Terms will not be affected and shall remain in force.  For the avoidance of doubt, should these Terms or any part of them be deemed void or voidable, this shall not affect the validity of any licence provided under these Terms.

    27.2 Reliance on these Terms.  We intend to rely on these written Terms and any document expressly referred to in them in relation to the subject matter of any contract between us.  We and you will be legally bound by these Terms.

    27.3 Events or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.  If we are prevented or delayed from complying with our obligations under these Terms by anything you (or anyone acting on your behalf) does or fails to do or due to events or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. In such circumstances including fire, flood and other acts of God, strikes, trade disputes, lock outs, restrictions of imports or exports, riot, accident, disruption to energy supplies, civil commotion, acts of terrorism or war, our inability or delay in performing our obligations will not be deemed to be in breach of contract.

    27.4 References to ‘including’ and other similar expressions.  In these Terms, words that appear after the expression ‘include’, ‘including’, ‘other’, ‘for example’, ‘such as’ or ‘in particular’ (or any similar expression) will not limit the meaning of the words appearing before such expression.  

    27.5 Assignment.  You may not assign, sub-license or otherwise transfer any of your rights under these Terms.

    27.6 Waiver.  If you breach these Terms and we choose to ignore your breach, we will still be entitled to use our rights and remedies at a later date or in any other situation where you breach the Terms again.

    27.7 Exclusion of third party rights.  These Terms do not create any right enforceable by any person who is not a party to them (or any contract made under them), except that the provisions of these Terms may be enforced by any of our licensors subject to and in accordance with the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

    27.8 Language.  These Terms may be presented to you in more than one language. However, the English language version of these Terms shall prevail.  The contract between us will be concluded in English.

    27.9 Governing law and jurisdiction.  Any disputes or claims between us arising out of or in connection with these Terms or any contract made under them (including non-contractual disputes or claims) are governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales from where the licence is operated.  Any disputes or claims arising shall be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.  Nothing in this paragraph shall deprive consumers of the right to bring or defend proceedings in their home state nor of the protection afforded to them by the mandatory rules of law of the country in which they live.

    28) Changes to these Terms

    28.1 We may make changes to these Terms at any time by sending you an email with the modified Terms or by posting a copy of them on the Site.  Any changes will take effect 7 days after the date of our email or the date on which we post the modified terms on the Site, whichever is the earlier.  If you continue to use the Site after that period has expired, it means that you accept any such changes.
