You may withdraw your order for goods at any time up to the end of the fourteenth day after receipt of your order even if you have then already received the goods. You do not need to give Sphinx Books any reason for withdrawing your order nor will you have to pay any penalty.
The only circumstances in which you cannot withdraw your order are where you have taken the goods you have ordered (or the ones in relation to which you want to withdraw) out of the sealed package in which they were delivered.
To withdraw your order you must notify Sphinx Books in writing at the address set out in the Sphinx Books contact details page of this Web site.
If you have received the goods before you withdraw your order then, unless you have lost your right to withdraw because you have taken the goods out of their sealed package, you must send them back to the Sphinx Books contact address at your own cost and risk. If you withdraw your order but Sphinx Books has already processed the goods for delivery you must not unpack the goods when they are received by you and you must send the goods back to Sphinx Books at the Sphinx Books contact address at your own cost and risk as soon as possible.
Once you have notified Sphinx Books that you are withdrawing your order, any sum debited to Sphinx Books from your credit/debit card will be re-credited to your account as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days of your order PROVIDED THAT the goods in question are returned by you and received by Sphinx Books in the condition they were in when delivered to you.
If Sphinx Books has insufficient stock to deliver the goods ordered by you, any sum debited by Sphinx Books from your credit/debit card will be re-credited to your account and Sphinx Books will notify you by email at the address given by you in your order form. The refund will be made as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days of your order. Sphinx Books will not be obliged to offer any additional compensation for disappointment suffered.
Sphinx Books will deliver the goods ordered by you to the address you give Sphinx Books for delivery at the time you make your order.
You will become the owner of the goods you have ordered when they have been delivered to you. Once goods have been delivered to you they will be held at your own risk and Sphinx Books will not be liable for their loss or destruction.
If the goods Sphinx Books delivers are not what you ordered or are damaged or defective or the delivery is of an incorrect quantity, Sphinx Books shall have no liability to you unless you notify Sphinx Books in writing at the Sphinx Books contact address of the problem within 10 working days of the delivery of goods in question.
If you do not receive goods ordered by you within 30 days of the date on which we despatched them to you (with the exception of items sent via surface post), Sphinx Books shall have no liability to you unless you notify Sphinx Books in writing at the Sphinx Books contact address of the problem within 40 days of the date on which you ordered the goods.

Sphinx Books will not be liable to you for any indirect or consequential loss or damage arising out of any problem you notify to Sphinx Books under this condition and Sphinx Books shall have no liability to pay any money to you by way of compensation other than to refund to you the amount paid by you for the goods in question under the paragraph above.
Nothing in this condition is, however, intended to limit any rights you might have as a consumer under applicable local law that may not be excluded nor in any way to exclude or limit Sphinx Books' liability to you for any death or personal injury resulting from its negligence.
Sphinx Books shall have no liability to you for any failure to deliver goods you have ordered or any delay in doing so or for any damage or defect to goods delivered that is caused by any event or circumstance beyond its reasonable control.

The contract between us shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with English law, and the English courts shall have jurisdiction to resolve any disputes between us.
