All deliveries are due for payment by the end of the 1st month following the month they were invoiced in. For example, all invoices dated July should be paid by the end of August (we give an extra month to overseas customers). All supplies
can be returned for credit; books under our book returns policy (please click here for more details) and magazines under our magazine returns policy (please click here for more details).
We ask customers not to make deductions till credit notes have been issued.
We send out statements every month listing all invoices, credit notes and paid items; if you notice a discrepancy, please contact us immediately. Late payment can mean that supplies will be suspended. If this happens, you will miss issues of all magazines for the period that your account is on stop but we will record any book orders we receive. We hope this will not happen, but given our tight margins and commitment to pay the publishers promptly (and they are often walking a financial tightrope, like ourselves and yourselves) we have to be fairly rigorous about our terms!

In this clause you are referred to as "the Buyer", we are referred to as "the Seller", any goods to be sold under these terms are referred to as "the Goods", and the price you agree to pay for the Goods is referred to as "the Price".
The Goods shall be at the Buyer’s risk as from delivery.
In spite of delivery having been made, property in the Goods shall not pass from the Seller until: The Buyer shall have paid the Price (plus VAT if applicable) in full and no other sums whatever shall be due from the Buyer to the Seller.
The Seller shall still be entitled to be paid the Price irrespective of the fact that property in any of the Goods has not passed from the Seller to the Buyer.
Until such time as property in the Goods passes from the Seller, the Buyer shall upon request deliver up such of the Goods as have not ceased to be in existence or resold to the Seller. If the Buyer fails to do so, the Seller may enter upon any premises owned, occupied or controlled by the Buyer where the Goods are situated and repossess the Goods.
The Buyer shall not pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the Goods which are the property of the Seller. Without prejudice to the other rights of the Seller, if the Buyer does so, all sums owed by the Buyer to the Seller shall forthwith become due and payable.
Any licence granted to the Buyer to sell or use the Goods shall terminate immediately if the Buyer shall enter into liquidation or be adjudicated bankrupt or shall make any assignment for the benefit of its creditors or if a bankruptcy or any insolvency proceeding shall be filed by or against the Buyer and not discharged within 30 days.
In the event of any provision of this Agreement proving to be invalid, voidable or unenforceable then no other provision of these terms shall be affected as a result and accordingly the remaining terms shall remain in full force and effect as though such void, invalid or unenforceable provision had not been contained in these terms.
