Terms and conditions

Kaplan Publishing UK Limited is the UK Publishing Division of the Kaplan Group.

Sales made directly from Kaplan Publishing are made subject to the following terms and conditions:

Pricing

  1. We keep our website up to date with details of current pricing.

    Whilst we take all reasonable care to present accurate pricing information, we cannot guarantee that our pricing will not change during the lifecycle of the product.

  2. All our prices are in pounds sterling, unless stated otherwise.
  3. All amounts quoted include VAT (where applicable) but exclude any taxes or duties imposed by countries outside the UK. Educational study materials are not, by definition, subject to VAT. Digital products typically incur VAT.
  4. We may, in order to comply with distance selling regulations, need to charge the applicable VAT rate for any country for which we exceed the distance selling threshold.
  5. To the extent that any sales are subject to VAT, invoices will reflect the VAT charge. Customers from VAT exempt territories within the EU may (if the sale is subject to VAT) request a VAT refund after dispatch.
  6. All web and cash purchases require prior payment; all trade or credit account arrangements will be subject to the agreed terms and conditions when completing the new account set up process and any further trade agreements.

Orders

  1. Full payment is required on placing of the order and prior to the dispatch of materials, unless the customer has agreed credit terms with us (when these will apply). Payment can be made via credit or debit card, or via bank transfer.
  2. All orders are accepted subject to stock availability and may be delivered in two or more installments. For website card purchases, payments will only be taken for available items at the time of invoicing.
  3. We will use the method of delivery we deem most appropriate to the sale (ie post, courier or freight) and any such delivery costs will be added to the invoice. Delivery details are found on our website.
  4. Kaplan Publishing reserves the right to decline an order or restrict payment for orders where we suspect fraud.
  5. If a customer fails to take delivery on the date of delivery of the materials or does not give adequate delivery instructions, then we may store the materials and will not be liable for any loss, damage or deterioration during storage. All such storage expenses and any additional delivery costs will be reimbursable to us and may be added to the invoice.
  6. Title to materials only passes on payment in full. This means any sales made by customers before the passing of title are made as agent for Kaplan Publishing and any proceeds will be held on trust by the customer to the extent necessary to settle any amounts due to us.
  7. If a customer believes that materials have been lost in transit or have not been delivered, they must contact us within 30 days of the shipping date. Claims may not be accepted for lost items reported outside this time frame.
  8. Customers are responsible for complying with all relevant import and distribution laws and regulations and for obtaining and maintaining at their own expense any necessary import or export licences, customs’ clearances, exchange control consents or other authorisations and permits.

Returns

  1. All returns require prior authorisation. For customers without a trade account or agreement to the contrary, this must be within 14 days of purchase. Any postage or courier charges incurred in making such returns will be at the customer’s cost, unless the materials were damaged or faulty.
  2. We will only accept returns of materials in the following circumstances:
    1. If the materials were found to be damaged or faulty, in which case we will either replace the materials or give the customer a full refund (subject to their indicating a preference and to our receiving the relevant materials back from the customer before dispatching the replacement).
    2. The materials were incorrectly supplied by us, in which case we will issue a full refund (subject to our receiving the relevant materials back from the customer).
    3. If the return is authorised by the relevant department and the materials are received within 28 days of purchase, in immaculate, resaleable condition.
    4. If no online access, via MyKaplan or to eBooks, has been utilised (it is our standard policy to offer no refunds on electronic items such as eBooks as a standalone purchase).
  3. The customer is responsible for packaging and returning any materials returned in accordance with these terms and conditions. Any returns of materials in accordance with these terms and conditions should be made to the return address specified with the package on delivery.
  4. Our returns policies do not affect your statutory rights.
