Terms & Conditions – Silk Route Press

Acknowledgment of E-Book Conditions

By agreeing to these terms and conditions, customers acknowledge the following e-book stipulations.

Our E-Books Products

Our E-Book products are either PDF downloads on certain products or app-embedded ebooks on others.
For app-embedded ebooks, customers can only read the books in the app and not download, edit, mark up, or in any other way interact with the file. This is for the protection of our IP and is exactly the same as in other e-readers such as Amazon Kindle.
Our PDF-downloads can be downloaded and treated as PDFs. These are watermarked with the buyer’s details. If the buyer shares the file with any other person this will be prosecutable as a crime under copyright laws, and Silk Route Press will enforce such prosecutions. Please note that the files can also be traced digitally.
See the Refunds & Returns policy section below for terms involving requested refunds for our E-Books for Windows products.
The customer acknowledges that the words “ebook” and “e-book”, as well as any possible capitalisation variations thereof or reasonable other variables thereof, are equivalent.

Refunds & Returns Policy for Individual Customers

Our refund and returns policy for physical books lasts 5 days, as books that are kept for more than 5 days tend to be already read and bent by customers. If 5 days have passed since your purchase, we can’t offer you a full refund or exchange.

To be eligible for a return, a physical item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. Physical books with obvious signs of use may be eligible for partial refund depending on condition.
