We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, previews, images and information displayed on our website are accurate and up to date.

Before purchasing, you should carefully review the product description, format, contents and any stated requirements.

Minor differences in appearance may occur depending on your device, screen, printer, software or operating system.

We do not guarantee that every digital resource will be compatible with every device, application, operating system or printer unless such compatibility is specifically stated in the product description.

Nothing in this section affects your statutory rights under applicable UK consumer law.

4. Prices

All prices displayed on our website are stated in [GBP / applicable currency] unless otherwise indicated.

We reserve the right to change prices at any time.

However, a price change will not affect an order that you have already placed and that we have accepted.

Where applicable, taxes such as VAT will be displayed or applied in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.

5. Placing an Order

When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase the selected digital product.

An order confirmation does not necessarily mean that your order has been accepted.

A contract between you and us is formed when we accept your order and confirm that the product will be supplied.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order where there is a legitimate reason, including suspected fraud, a technical or pricing error, or circumstances where we are unable to supply the product.

If we cancel an order after payment has been taken, we will provide an appropriate refund.

6. Payment

Payment must be made using one of the payment methods available at checkout.

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers such as:

[PAYMENT PROVIDER – e.g. Stripe / PayPal / Shopify Payments]

You agree to provide accurate and complete information required to process your order.

Delivery times may vary depending on the product and the delivery system used.

If you do not receive your digital product or experience a technical problem accessing it, please contact us at [CONTACT EMAIL].

We will make reasonable efforts to resolve genuine delivery or access problems.

8. Immediate Supply of Digital Content

Where digital content is supplied immediately after purchase, you may be asked to expressly consent to the immediate supply of the digital content.

You may also be asked to acknowledge that, once the supply of the digital content has begun, you may lose your statutory 14-day cancellation right in accordance with applicable consumer law.

If the required consent and acknowledgement have not been obtained, your statutory cancellation rights may continue to apply.

9. Refunds and Cancellations

Our Refund & Cancellation Policy explains when refunds and cancellations are available.

Subject to your statutory rights, digital products that have been downloaded or accessed may not normally be eligible for a refund where the applicable legal requirements for immediate digital supply have been satisfied.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions limits or excludes your statutory rights under UK consumer law.

For further information, please refer to our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

10. Consumer Rights

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

Digital content supplied to consumers must meet the requirements of applicable UK consumer legislation, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Where applicable, digital content must be:

  • of satisfactory quality;

  • fit for a particular purpose where the relevant purpose has been made known; and

  • as described.

Where digital content does not meet the applicable legal requirements, you may have legal remedies.

We will not attempt to exclude or restrict any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

11. Licence to Use Digital Products

Unless otherwise stated, purchasing a digital product gives you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the product for your own personal or permitted educational use.

The purchase of a digital product does not transfer ownership of the copyright or other intellectual property rights in that product to you.

Unless expressly permitted by us, you must not:

  • resell the digital product;

  • redistribute the digital product;

  • upload the digital product to a file-sharing website;

  • share download links with others;

  • make the product available publicly online;

  • reproduce or distribute the product commercially;

  • claim the product as your own work;

  • remove copyright notices or other ownership information;

  • reproduce the product for commercial resale; or

  • use the product to create a competing commercial product.

12. Educational and Teaching Use

Where a product is specifically marketed as a teaching or educational resource, the purchaser may generally use the resource for educational purposes within the scope of the licence stated on the product page.

Unless otherwise stated, a teacher or educational professional may use purchased resources in their own teaching environment.

However, purchasing a resource does not automatically grant permission to distribute the original digital files to pupils, parents, colleagues, schools, organisations or other third parties beyond the permitted use.

Where a school-wide, department-wide, multi-teacher or institutional licence is required, the appropriate licence must be purchased.

If you are unsure whether your intended use is permitted, please contact us before reproducing or distributing the resource.
