(gebooks.com)Terms and Conditions of Use
These Terms and Conditions of Use (the “TOUs”) are applicable to you (“User,” “you,” or “your”). These TOUs set forth the terms and conditions for your use of this website, including the VitalSource Store (the “Site”) and your use of our digital content distribution and learning software (including any associated documentation and any updates to that software) and the digital content that can be read by that software that we make available for access and download from the Site (respectively “Software” and “Licensed Content” and together “Products”). These TOUs also apply to any of the services accessible through any Products, Software or Site (the “Services”), unless separate or additional terms apply, in which case they will be displayed on-screen or accessible via a link.
You agree with and accept these TOUs as a condition of your use of the Site and Products. If you do not agree with the terms of these TOUs, do not access or use the Site or Products. We reserve the right to change these TOUs from time to time. Users of the Site are advised to please refer back to these TOUs periodically to review any changes we may make from time to time. Users of Products will be notified with the TOUs being displayed on-screen or with a link to the updated TOUs when you next start the Software or download new Licensed Content, although no such changes will apply retrospectively. You warrant to us that you have the authority to enter into an agreement with us on the terms of these TOUs.
License and Use
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access the Site and any Product for your personal use only. Any commercial use, use in violation of these TOUs, or use for data collection and/or profit is not allowed.
You may retrieve and display content from the Site or any Product on a computer or other device, print and copy individual pages and, subject to the next section, store such pages in electronic form on that device. Additional terms may also apply to certain features, parts or content of the Site and, where they apply, will be displayed on-screen or accessible via a link (“Other Terms”).
You must only use the Site or Product and anything available from the Site or a Product for lawful purposes (complying with all applicable laws and regulations), in a responsible manner, and not in a way that might damage our name or reputation or that of any of our affiliates.
You remain responsible for:
all of your activity on and in connection with the Site and/or Product;
all of the content and details that you submit into, or post onto, the Site or any Product (“Your Content”);
what you access on the Site or Product, how you interpret or use the Site or Product and any actions you may take as a result of using the Site or Product.
Access to the Site and Products
Products may only be downloaded, accessed and used on a computer or other device owned or controlled by you and running the relevant operating system for which the Product concerned was designed, so you must make sure you have a compatible device which meets all the necessary technical specifications to enable you to download any Product you wish to download and to access and use each downloaded Product.
Paid-for Licensed Content
The downloading of paid-for Licensed Content may require you to pay a fee, the amount of which will be as set out on the Site from time to time, unless you have been issued with a code (for example, by an institution with whom you are studying, a publisher or retailer of a publication you have already purchased in hard copy) in which case you may redeem that code against an eligible download.
Payment for all orders must be made by credit or debit card via the checkout page. We use a reputable third party payment services provider to take payment. Payment is accepted by most major credit and debit cards. Payment is taken, in full, immediately. You should be aware that online payment transactions are subject to validation checks by your card issuer and we are not responsible if your card issuer declines to authorize payment for any reason. Please note, it is possible that your card issuer may charge you an online handling fee or processing fee. We are not responsible for this.
The relevant download will be made available immediately when payment is authorized or you enter a valid code and you acknowledge that this is the case and that, therefore, you will have no right to change your mind (sometimes known as a ‘cooling off’ right) once the download has started.
Where you pay to download any paid-for Licensed Content, we warrant that it will, when downloaded, substantially comply with the description provided by us at the point of download and that any services we provide through it will be provided with reasonable care and skill.
