1. Contract with the Customer
No contract shall exist between you, the customer, and CIPS until an email has been sent confirming your order. CIPS reserves the right to withdraw from any contract in the case of obvious errors such as false personal or payment details.
2. Availability and Pricing
The availability and pricing of goods on the CIPS website (www.cips.org) and its subdomains are valid at the time of your visit and are subject to change without notice. There is an additional charge, dependent on the item(s) ordered, for postage and packing. This charge will be clearly displayed on your order form. In the unlikely event that the items you have ordered are unavailable, we shall email you a notification of the current status of your order and a) inform you the estimated time of delivering your item(s) (see 4. Delivery of Goods) or b) give you the opportunity to cancel your item(s) or order.
3. Payment
Payment can be made by any of the following cards.
4. Delivery of Goods
When you have placed an order with the CIPS Bookshop online, every effort will be made to dispatch your goods within one working day of receipt-of-payment, although this cannot be guaranteed. If the order cannot be despatched within three working days, you will be notified by email and given an opportunity to modify the order if appropriate. If necessary, the CIPS Bookshop may deliver individual items from a single order separately. In this case you will be charged for postage and packing on the first delivery only.
