Terms & Conditions

This document sets out the terms and conditions that apply to any use by any individual or organisation of information, advice or content provided by Anspear or by a representative of Anspear including but not limited to Anspear’s websites, and to products and services including courses created or recommended by Anspear.

Upon your ordering or receipt of any information, advice or content provided or recommended by Anspear or by a representative of Anspear, or upon your use of any Anspear website, you are deemed to have read, accepted and agreed to abide by these conditions.

If you supply personal details to Anspear, then you consent to us maintaining, recording, holding and using such personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You may wish to refer to Anspear’s Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy, as well as this Terms and Conditions document, may be amended from time to time without notice at Anspear’s discretion.

Ordering products and services

When placing an order, registering on a course or otherwise providing Anspear with information in order for them to provide you with a product or service, you must provide accurate and complete information. No order or other information submitted by you shall be deemed to be received by Anspear unless and until this can be confirmed by Anspear or by an authorised representative of Anspear.

Confirmation of receipt of an order or other information, or any email, telephone or verbal correspondence from Anspear or from a representative of Anspear does not constitute an order confirmation or acceptance from Anspear. Acceptance of your order will take place upon despatch to you of the product or service ordered unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have given Anspear adequate notice of your wish to cancel the order. ‘Despatch’ means making a product or service accessible to you, including but not limited to sending you a printed publication, sending a download link, or providing you with passwords or other access codes so that you may access a product or service provided on the internet. Prices are reviewed periodically by Anspear. The price charged to you for a product or service that you have ordered will be the price that is current when the order is processed by Anspear or the price that was current when Anspear received your order, at Anspear’s discretion. Products or services may be provided free of charge or at a discount at Anspear’s discretion. Products or services provided in a digital format may be subject to VAT charges in addition to the quoted prices. Quoted prices will normally but not necessarily include postage and packing for UK destinations.

We may take payment from you for your order at the time we receive your order or when your order is processed by us or after the product or service has been despatched to you. Anspear may send you an invoice when we despatch your product or service. An invoice must be paid by you within 30 days of you receiving the invoice. If you fail to make any payment on the due date then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Anspear, Anspear shall be entitled to cancel the order and recall the product or service or suspend any further deliveries to you or appropriate any payment made by you to Anspear for other products or services.

Products or services are subject to availability. In the event that we are unable to supply a product or service, we will inform you of this as soon as possible. A full refund or credit note will be given where you have already paid for the product or service.

Anspear shall not be liable for any delay or failure to deliver products or services or otherwise perform any obligation to you if the delay or failure is wholly or partly caused whether directly or indirectly by circumstances beyond Anspear’s reasonable control. Anspear has a policy of pre-publication marketing. Anspear does not guarantee any estimated publication or delivery date.

Anspear may despatch separately products or services that form part of a single order from you. Where a single order is despatched in such instalments, each despatch shall thenceforth constitute a separate order. Failure by Anspear to deliver any one or more of the instalments (ie any part of the original order) shall therefore not entitle you to treat the original order as a whole as repudiated.

Ownership of a product or service shall not pass to you until payment has been received for the product or service by Anspear, except at Anspear’s discretion.

Risk of loss and damage of products or services including password or other access codes passes to you on the date when the product, service or access code is delivered or on the date of first attempted delivery by us.

You have fourteen days from receipt of a product or service to return the product or service to us and receive a refund of any related payment. Anspear reserves the right not to provide a refund if the product or service is not returned in full, is not removed from all of your systems or if any copies are kept by you, or if the product or service has in any way been damaged or otherwise rendered unusable by you.

All product or service marketing or advertising text, drawings, illustrations, imagery or any other product or service literature must be regarded as approximations only; they do not constitute a guarantee of what will or what will not be provided as part of a product or service. Anspear reserves the right to make any changes in the specification or estimated contents or estimated publication date of a product or service at any time and without notice.

Anspear may provide you with sample materials, demonstration copies or passwords or other access codes to enable you to evaluate a product or service before purchase. Material provided by Anspear for evaluation purposes must not be reproduced or distributed in any form whatsoever, or modified, or used with any other individuals or for any other purpose, except for the purposes of evaluation within a timescale as determined by Anspear, without the express written permission of Anspear. Infringement of Anspear’s copyright in such a manner will result in the school or the individual who requested the evaluation material being required to purchase the relevant material.

Subscription products and services

Anspear may offer some products or services on a subscription basis. Subscription will be for one year which normally runs from 1st September to 31st August (“the Subscription Year”). At the end of each Subscription Year, subscription will be automatically terminated unless Anspear has received payment for another Subscription Year or unless Anspear chooses to continue the subscription. Subscription Years do not need to be continuous.

Subscription is not transferable. Your account and password are personal to you and may not be used by anyone else. You agree not to do anything which would assist anyone who has not subscribed to access a subscription product or service. You agree to inform Anspear by email at info@anspear.com at the earliest opportunity if you lose or misplace your password or have reason to believe that your password is being used by another person. You are responsible for all uses of your account or password whether authorised by you or not.

Anspear reserves the right to cancel your subscription at any time without notice. Refunds may be given at Anspear’s discretion.
