By accepting these terms and conditions you consent to such checks being made.

Though we always try to honour the price displayed, should any material change in exchange rates occur between the time of purchasing and the time of dispatch (material as determined by the sole discretion of Awesome Books), we reserve the rate to charge you any additional amount (subject to your prior consent) or cancel the sale outright and refund you in full. b) While we try and ensure that all prices on our website are accurate, errors may occur.

5.1 We offer a 30-day money back guarantee, please refer to Return Policy. Some products are excluded from the Guarantee and are clearly marked next to the product name. In the unlikely event that you receive faulty or damaged goods, please refer to our Return Policy section. Note that any items which are sealed or boxed/packaged (e.g. box sets or DVD’s) when delivered are only valid for refund so long as the seal/packaging remains intact when the item is returned for a refund. Once the seal has been broken or torn, the product is no longer refundable and not covered under our 30-day money back guarantee. Such items are normally photographed before leaving our warehouses and as such, photographic evidence may also be produced at our discretion to prove a seal was broken or torn after delivery.

5.2 Sometimes the product specifications from the manufacturer may change, in which case we will do our best to offer you a similar alternative. We may experience problems with the supply of certain products and may therefore supply a substitute of the same or better quality at the same price.

Where applicable, you may cancel your order in accordance with your rights under the Distance Selling Regulations (see the Return Policy page for further details)
