We use the personal and transactional information (e.g. name, address, e-mail address, credit card details) (“Personal Information”) you supply to us in order to fulfil your subscription order. On the online order form we will ask you about receiving details of our products and services and/or those of third parties which may be of interest to you. You should tick the relevant boxes to indicate whether or not you wish to receive such information.
Unless a member of our staff has been fraudulent or negligent, we will not be liable to you for any losses you may suffer as a result of unauthorised access by a third party to the information (including in particular credit/debit card details) you transmit when you place an order. It is your responsibility to ensure the security of your own credit/debit card details to avoid unauthorised use.
When you click “Submit Order” to submit your order online, post or telephone us with details of your order, you are putting forward an offer to take out a subscription which if accepted by us, will result in a binding contract. If placing your order online your credit/debit card will be debited when you click "Submit Order". Although you will either see a page or receive an email if you have supplied your email address acknowledging that your order has been received successfully and is being processed, the contract between yourself and David Hall Publishing is not formed at this point. A legally binding contract is formed on the date we send you written confirmation of your order. You will receive this written confirmation within 14 days of submitting your order in the form of an acknowledgement letter. We will not be responsible if you fail to receive the written confirmation because you have supplied us with an incorrect postal address. We reserve the right not to accept or process your order for any reason. All orders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by your payment card issuer. If we do not accept your order and your credit/debit card has already been debited, we will notify you and provide a full refund.
We reserve the right not to fulfil and to cancel orders:
In the event of obvious inaccuracies in prices, except that we may fulfil your order at the correct price;
if we are unable to obtain payment authorisation from the issuer of your payment card.
Prices displayed on the subscriptions section of the website will prevail at all times in relation to orders placed online. Prices quoted on screen include delivery charges and taxes (where applicable).
You can either make a one-off payment for a subscription of a fixed term, or make ongoing direct debit or continuous credit card payments for any other subscription term (subject to availability).
If you make ongoing payments we reserve the right to increase our prices at any time after the first year of your subscription has elapsed and will notify you in writing with 10 days’ notice of any such price increase. Although we try to ensure that all prices are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of your order, we will inform you as soon as possible. You will have the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you, we will treat the order as cancelled. We will refund you in full if you cancel the order on the basis of the price and have already paid.
Any prices quoted in $ or € are an approximate figure. All credit cards will be debited in Pounds Sterling by your bank or building society on behalf of David Hall Publishing, converted at the current exchange rate.
Your bank or building society may apply a different exchange rate to that applied by David Hall Publishing to convert the Pounds Sterling amount to your local currency and/or charge an additional fee for the transaction. If you have any queries about the prices charged by David Hall Publishing in connection with this subscription promotion, kindly contact dhpub@subscription.co.uk.
