Last Updated: 15 September 2026
Welcome to UK E-Books. These Terms & Conditions govern your use of our website and the purchase and download of digital e-books through our online store.
By accessing our website, creating an account, or purchasing an e-book from us, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. Please read them carefully before using our website or placing an order.
1. About Us
UK E-Books operates as an online digital bookstore offering history-related e-books and other digital publications.
References to “we,” “us,” “our,” “UK E-Books,” or “the website” refer to the operator of this online store.
References to “you,” “your,” or “customer” refer to any person accessing our website or purchasing our products.
If you have questions regarding these Terms & Conditions, please contact us using the contact details provided on our website.
2. Use of Our Website
You may use our website for lawful purposes only.
You agree not to:
- Use the website for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose.
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to our website, servers, accounts, or systems.
- Interfere with the operation or security of the website.
- Copy, reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit website content without permission.
- Use automated systems to scrape, copy, or collect substantial amounts of website content without our written permission.
- Attempt to circumvent any security, access-control, or digital-rights mechanisms associated with our products.
We reserve the right to suspend or restrict access to the website where we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached.
3. Eligibility
You must be legally capable of entering into a contract under applicable law to purchase products from our website.
If you are purchasing an e-book on behalf of another person or organisation, you confirm that you have authority to do so.
4. E-Book Products
Our products are digital publications supplied electronically rather than physical books.
Product descriptions, images, sample pages, formats, file sizes, and other information are provided to help customers understand what they are purchasing.
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product information is accurate and up to date. However, minor differences in formatting, cover design, layout, or presentation may occur between devices or reading applications.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, purchasing an e-book gives you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and read the purchased publication. It does not transfer copyright or ownership of the underlying work to you.
5. Prices
All prices displayed on our website are stated in the applicable currency shown at checkout.
We reserve the right to change product prices at any time. A price change will not affect an order that has already been accepted and paid for.
Where applicable, taxes or other charges will be displayed at checkout before you complete your purchase.
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that prices displayed on the website are accurate. If a significant pricing error occurs, we reserve the right to contact you before fulfilling the order.
6. Orders
When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase the selected digital product.
After placing an order, you may receive an order confirmation acknowledging that we have received your order. This confirmation does not necessarily mean that your order has been accepted.
A contract for the purchase of a digital product is formed when we accept your order and provide or make the purchased product available to you.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order where there is a legitimate reason, including suspected fraud, payment problems, technical errors, or incorrect pricing.
If we cancel an order after payment has been taken, we will arrange an appropriate refund.
7. Digital Delivery
After successful payment, we will provide access to the purchased e-book through the delivery method specified on our website, such as a download link, customer account, or email.
Delivery times may vary depending on the payment method, technical systems, and delivery method used.
You are responsible for providing accurate contact and account information and for ensuring that your email address can receive our communications.
If you do not receive your e-book or download instructions within a reasonable period after completing your purchase, please contact us.
8. Download Limits and Access
Some digital products may be subject to reasonable download, access, or security restrictions.
You must not share your download link, account credentials, or purchased files with other people where doing so would breach these Terms or the applicable copyright licence.
We may take reasonable measures to protect our digital products against unauthorised copying, distribution, or misuse.
If a download link expires or becomes unavailable due to a technical issue, please contact us so that we can investigate the matter.
9. Intellectual Property
All intellectual property rights in our website, including text, graphics, logos, design elements, branding, photographs, software, and other materials, belong to us or our licensors unless otherwise stated.
The e-books offered through our website may be protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
Your purchase does not give you the right to:
- Reproduce an e-book for redistribution.
- Upload an e-book to file-sharing services.
- Sell, resell, sublicense, or commercially distribute an e-book.
- Make an e-book available to the public.
- Remove copyright, author, publisher, or other rights notices.
- Modify or create derivative works for commercial distribution.
- Use our content to operate another commercial service without permission.
You may download and read your purchased e-book for your own personal use, subject to the applicable licence and these Terms.
10. Copyright Complaints
We respect intellectual property rights.
If you believe that material available through our website infringes your copyright or another intellectual property right, please contact us with sufficient information for us to investigate the complaint.
We may remove or restrict access to material where appropriate while an issue is investigated.
11. Payments
Payments are processed using the payment methods and payment providers made available during checkout.
You confirm that the payment information supplied by you is accurate and that you are authorised to use the selected payment method.
We do not intentionally retain complete payment-card details where payment processing is handled by a third-party payment provider.
Payment providers may have their own terms and privacy policies, which may apply to payment transactions.
12. Refunds and Digital Content
Because our products are digital content, cancellation and refund rights may differ from those applicable to physical goods.
Where permitted by applicable UK consumer law, you may have a statutory right to cancel a contract for digital content within a specified cancellation period.
However, where you expressly request that digital content be supplied immediately and acknowledge that you may lose your statutory cancellation right once supply begins, the cancellation right may not apply.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to remove or restrict any statutory consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
If a digital product is faulty, corrupted, inaccessible, incorrectly supplied, or does not conform to the contract, please contact us. We will consider the issue and provide an appropriate remedy where required by applicable law.
13. Technical Requirements
You are responsible for ensuring that your device, operating system, internet connection, and reading software are compatible with the e-book format purchased.
We are not responsible for problems caused solely by:
- An incompatible device.
- Outdated software.
- An unstable internet connection.
- Insufficient device storage.
- Third-party reading applications.
- Device settings or restrictions outside our control.
Where a purchased file is defective, we will make reasonable efforts to provide a suitable replacement or alternative remedy where required.
14. Website Availability
We aim to keep our website available and functioning correctly, but we do not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
The website may occasionally be unavailable because of:
- Maintenance.
- Software updates.
- Hosting issues.
- Technical failures.
- Security incidents.
- Internet or telecommunications problems.
- Circumstances outside our reasonable control.
We will take reasonable steps to restore services when practical.
15. Third-Party Services and Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, payment services, platforms, or other resources.
These third-party services are operated independently and may have their own terms and privacy policies.
We are not responsible for the content, availability, security, or practices of third-party websites or services.
A link to a third-party website does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of that website or its services.
16. User Accounts
Where account registration is available, you are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential.
You must notify us if you believe that your account has been accessed without authorisation.
You are responsible for activity carried out through your account unless the activity resulted from circumstances outside your reasonable control.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate an account where we reasonably believe it has been used fraudulently, unlawfully, or in breach of these Terms.
17. Reviews and User Content
Where the website allows customers to submit reviews, comments, or other content, you must ensure that your submissions are lawful and do not:
- Contain defamatory, threatening, abusive, or discriminatory material.
- Infringe another person’s intellectual property rights.
- Contain malicious software or harmful code.
- Impersonate another person or organisation.
- Contain misleading or fraudulent information.
- Include another person’s private or personal information without permission.
You retain ownership of content that you lawfully own and submit. By submitting content to areas of the website intended for public display, you grant us a non-exclusive permission to display and use that content for operating and promoting the website, subject to applicable law.
We reserve the right to remove content that violates these Terms or applicable law.
18. Privacy and Personal Data
We process personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Personal information may be collected and used to process orders, provide digital products, communicate with customers, maintain accounts, prevent fraud, and operate our website.
For further information about how personal information is handled, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
19. Accuracy of Historical Information
Our e-books and website materials may contain historical information, interpretations, opinions, summaries, or references to historical events.
Historical scholarship can involve differing interpretations and sources. We do not guarantee that every historical statement, interpretation, date, attribution, or opinion contained in third-party or independently published material will be universally accepted.
Our books are provided for educational and informational purposes and should not necessarily be treated as definitive academic authority.
20. Limitation of Liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
Subject to the above, we will not be responsible for losses that:
- Were not reasonably foreseeable when the contract was formed.
- Result from circumstances outside our reasonable control.
- Result from your failure to follow reasonable instructions relating to the use of our digital products.
- Result solely from incompatibility between your device or software and the purchased product.
Where permitted by law, our liability in relation to a particular purchase will be limited to the remedies available under applicable law and the amount paid for the affected product.
Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory consumer rights.
21. Events Outside Our Control
We will not be liable for delays or failures caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
Such circumstances may include natural disasters, power failures, internet or telecommunications failures, cyber incidents, government action, industrial disputes, war, civil unrest, or failures of third-party service providers.
Where reasonably possible, we will take appropriate steps to minimise the impact of such events.
22. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time.
When we make material changes, we may update the “Last Updated” date shown at the beginning of this document and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
Your continued use of the website after updated Terms are published means that the updated Terms will apply to future use of the website and future purchases.
23. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or amended to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable where possible.
The remaining provisions will continue to apply.
24. No Waiver
If we do not immediately enforce a right or provision under these Terms, this does not mean that we have waived that right or provision.
Any waiver must be expressly made by us.
25. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with any applicable product information, order information, Privacy Policy, and other policies expressly incorporated into them, form the agreement between you and us concerning your use of the website and purchase of our products.
26. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, unless applicable mandatory consumer protection law requires otherwise.
Any disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts applicable under the relevant laws, while consumers may retain any mandatory rights to bring proceedings in another jurisdiction where applicable.
27. Contact Us
If you have questions about these Terms & Conditions, an order, a digital download, or any other matter relating to our website, please contact us through the contact details provided on our website.
We aim to respond to customer enquiries as promptly as reasonably possible.
