When you click “Submit Order” when ordering online, fax, post or telephone us with details of your order, you are offering to subscribe to one or more of our products which, if accepted by us, will result in a binding contract.
When placing an order online, your credit/debit card will be debited when you click “Submit Order”. You will receive an email confirming your order has been placed and is being processed. The contract between us 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 written confirmation within 14 days of submitting your order. Please note that we will not be responsible if you fail to receive the written confirmation because you have supplied us with an incorrect postal address. Please ensure that your postal address is completed in full.
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 refund your card in full immediately.

We will not be liable to you for any delay in delivery or non-delivery of magazines in the following circumstances:
