First Access Subscription - This means your publication will be shipped as soon as it is published with no action required on your part. Each year, 15 to 30-days prior to publication, you will receive a notice confirming your order, quantity, billing and shipping address. On this notice, you’ll be given an expected shipment date, and a deadline to call us to make any modifications you may need.

If no payment is received, electronic access may be suspended until payment has been rendered. All charges must be paid within 30 days of the invoice date.

Partial payments intended to settle an outstanding balance must be sent to [email protected] and should include a written description of the payment dispute.
Returns and Refunds. You may return a print product to us within 30 days of the original shipment date if the product does not meet your expectations. Note, however, that eBook and mobile app charges are not refundable once downloaded. Contact [email protected] for additional information regarding our return and refund policies.

University bookstores may return overstock of new, unmarked, shrink-wrapped, and undamaged books in the original packaging within six months of the date of the original invoice or receipt of shipment and receive a 100% refund of the publication, minus a 20% restocking fee.

Certificates should be updated based on the jurisdictional restrictions and expectations.

Resellers may use their third-party shipping contracts. When a third-party shipping contract is used, the discount will be reduced by 2%. This covers the handling and packing of the materials purchased.

We may, without notice to you, and at our full discretion, suspend or terminate this Agreement: (a) if you breach this Agreement or otherwise infringe on any intellectual property rights usage granted herein; or (b) if you breach or otherwise fail to comply with any other obligation in this Agreement (including payment obligations).

For your termination to be effective under this Clause, we must receive your notice of termination within 90 days of the date of the change.
