Purchases and Payment

Access to this website and the advertising of products on our website constitutes an “invitation to treat” rather than a contractual offer.

No contract will come into force between you and us unless and until we accept your order in accordance with the procedure set out below.

To enter into a contract through our website to purchase a subscription and/or any products from us, the following steps must be taken: for subscriptions you must provide the necessary details on registration and make the required payment as instructed; for products, you must add the products you wish to purchase to your shopping cart, and then proceed to the checkout; if you are a new customer, you must then create an account with us or you can guest checkout; if you are an existing customer, you must enter your login details; once you are logged in, you must select your preferred method of delivery and confirm your order and your consent to the terms of this document; for both subscriptions and the purchase of products you will be transferred to our payment service provider’s website, and our payment service provider will handle your payment; we will then send you an initial acknowledgement; and once we have checked whether we are able to meet your order, we will either send you an order confirmation (at which point your order will become a binding contract) or we will confirm by email that we are unable to meet your order.

Any order for a subscription or for purchases made through the website will be with Connect Kids Limited, or a trading subsidiary of Connect Kids Limited.

We may periodically change the products available on our website, and we do not undertake to continue to supply any particular product or type of product.

Our prices for subscription and products are quoted on our website. We may from time to time change the prices quoted on our website, but this will not affect contracts that have previously come into force.

Prices on the website shall be expressed in pounds (GBP), excluding taxes and any applicable discounts. The prices of some products are subject to exchange rate fluctuations and may change without notice.

Prices shall be increased by the applicable VAT or other taxes, where applicable, which are additional to the price displayed for the item on the website. The final price may be different depending upon the VAT rate applicable at your location, and this shall be declared upon finalization of your order. Your final price may be different depending upon the VAT rate that applies to your location.

In addition to the price of the products, you will have to pay a delivery charge, which will be notified to you before the contract of sale comes into force. At present deliveries are only being made to the UK mainland.

Your insertion of credit card details shall be deemed as acceptance of the VAT price and delivery charge included in the order.

You must, during the checkout process, pay the prices of the products you order. Payments may be made by any of the permitted methods specified on our website from time to time. If you fail to pay to us any amount due under these terms and conditions in accordance with the provisions of these terms and conditions, then we may withhold your subscription and/or the products ordered and/or by written notice to you at any time cancel the contract of sale for the products/subscription.

To subscribe and/or to order any books or other products, you must be at least eighteen (18) years of age or the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction. You will be required to give us a valid credit card number (VISA, MasterCard, American Express or any other issuer then accepted by us) and associated payment information at the time you order books or any other products hereunder, including all of the following: (i) your name as it appears on the card, (ii) the credit card type, (iii) the date of expiration of your credit card, (iv) billing address, and (v) any activation numbers or codes needed to charge your card. Connect-Kids currently does not accept cash, cheques or any other payment form other than credit cards or PayPal, although in the future we may change this policy. Your credit card issuer agreement governs your use of your designated credit card, and you must refer to that agreement and not this agreement to determine your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. You agree that no additional notice or consent is required before we invoice the credit card for all amounts due and payable. By providing us with your credit card number and associated payment information, you agree that we are authorized to immediately invoice your account for all fees and charges due and payable to us as a result of your purchase of any books or other products. You agree to immediately notify us of any change in your billing address or the credit card used for payment hereunder. We reserve the right, at any time, to change our prices and billing methods for subscription, books and other products sold, either immediately upon posting on the website or by e-mail delivery to you.

You agree to pay all fees and charges incurred in connection with your subscription, orders and purchases (including any taxes imposed on your orders and purchases, including, but not limited to, sales, use or value-added taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. We may automatically charge and withhold such taxes for orders to be delivered to addresses within any jurisdictions that it deems is required. When you order books or other products for overseas delivery, you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied when the package with the books or products arrives at the destination that you specified. Any charges for customs clearance have to be borne by you, as we have no control over such charges and cannot foresee the amount charged (if any). Since customs policies vary from country to country, you should contact the customs office in the country where you have us ship your books or other products to get more information. Please also be aware that you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of such country.

You must notify us in writing within seven (7) days after receiving your credit card statement, if you dispute any of our charges on that statement, or such dispute will be deemed waived. Billing disputes should be notified to us at via the Contact page. If we do not receive payment from your credit card issuer or its agent, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by us or our agents.
All sales of books and other products are subject to our then-current return policies, as posted on the website.

Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason. We further reserve the right any time after receipt of your order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item. Your order will be deemed accepted by us upon our delivery of the products that you have ordered. We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order.

All sales of books and other products are made FOB shipping agent. Risk of loss to each shipment of the books and other products shall pass to you upon transfer to the shipping agent, FOB.

We shall process delivery of the order to you at the time the order is made. Delivery will be made as soon as possible after the order is accepted. All delivery times quoted on the website are estimates only, based on availability, normal processing and delivery.

The confidentiality of the bank information transmitted by you via our website to an authorized bank is ensured in a secure environment. Accordingly, you expressly authorize the establishment of the card issuer to charge you regarding the records transmitted by us even in the absence of a signature. This authorization is not revocable.

We may cancel a contract under these terms and conditions immediately, by giving you written notice of termination, if: a) you fail to pay, on time and in full, any amount due to us under the contract; or b) you commit any breach of the terms of the contract.
If a contract under these terms and conditions is cancelled: (a) we will cease to have any obligation to deliver subscription services and/or products which are undelivered at the date of cancellation;(b) you will continue to have an obligation where applicable to pay for services and/or products which have been delivered at the date of cancellation (without prejudice to any right we may have to recover the products and/or cancel the subscription); and (c) all the other provisions of these terms and conditions will cease to have effect, except that those sections which by their nature survive termination (including but not being limited to the limitation of liability and governing law provisions) will survive termination and continue in effect indefinitely.

Data Protection

We will comply with all relevant statutory requirements, in particular (without limitation) the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998 (the Act) and any regulations and orders made thereunder, and any applicable code(s) of practice as appropriate and as such will act as the Data Controller within the meaning of the Act. In the provision of the order, we may need to process from time to time personal and/or sensitive personal data as defined by the Act. This data will be collected directly and only be used to meet the provision of the service and will only be disclosed where a statutory requirement compels us. No exclusively automatic processing (within the meaning of the Act) will take place which results in a decision being made. We may use reputable and secure third party suppliers for the purpose of processing payments for the order. Such transactions will be handled directly between you and the third party supplier. Subject to the lawful instructions reasonably given by you to us from time to time, any personal data provided to us will not be transferred outside the EEA. Data will be retained and destroyed as per our corporate data retention policy.

Returns Policy. This return policy applies to you if you are a person uploading, creating and/or purchasing a printed book or any product from Connect Kids (collectively “Users”).

Connect Kids does not proof, edit, or change your Content in any way. This means it’s your responsibility to review your book before you publish, and fix: Typos, grammar, unfinished text, or other text errors; Low-resolution images that may appear blurry in print or onscreen; Dark images that appear dark on screen (Connect Kids doesn’t lighten your images to match what you see on a backlit screen); Design issues, including book format, organization, style, colour, cropping and page layout; and any other creative choices you may have made using any of our or our partner’s software.

We strongly recommend that you review your book in preview modes before printing and would also recommend that you order and review a single printed copy of your book before placing orders for multiple copies.

Connect Kids and its partners are not responsible for the quality of the content of any printed book in the Connect Kids bookstore. Each book you purchase from the Connect Kids bookstore is custom printed or downloaded only upon your order, and we don’t warehouse books, therefore we do not accept returns or process refunds for any reason, except for the limited book replacement policy set forth below.

Return Policy for Printed Books and/or any product sold on the Connect Kids website. On the off chance your printed book, bracelet or any other product sold on the Connect Kids website arrives damaged, with a material manufacturing defect, or a material defect in workmanship, please contact us via the Contact page within 14 days of receipt and we will work with you to resolve the issue which may include securing a replacement, if necessary. Please note that each printed book you order from us is individually made by one of our professional book-printing partners. There may be minor differences across different prints of the same books. While we work very hard to keep our product as consistent as possible, this variation is a normal occurrence and is not considered a manufacturing defect or a defect in workmanship and does not qualify for a reprint.
