Product Term - Online Orders 

Please read these product terms and conditions carefully as they affect your rights and liabilities under the law and set out the terms under which ABS Energy Research makes the products available to you ("Product Terms"). By placing an online order through this website (“Site") you agree to be bound by these Product Terms.

These Product Terms relate to the sale and purchase of our products that are available for immediate online delivery only. Separate product terms apply for the sale and purchase of our products that are ordered and delivered offline, including but not limited to, hardcopy, diskette/CD ROM copy, email copy, and fax.

1. Prices

The prices payable for the reports and databases (“Publications") that you order are clearly set out in the Site. If, by mistake, we have under-priced an item, we will not be liable to supply that item to you at the stated price, provided that we notify you before we dispatch the item concerned. All prices are expressed exclusive of any VAT or other taxes payable unless otherwise stated. The price of the items does not include the delivery charge (if applicable) which will be charged at the rates applicable at the date you place your order and which will be displayed to you at the time you place your order. Where Publications are ordered pre-publication, an estimated retail price will be given, in which case the price charged may be different, as the order may have been placed as much as three months prior to publication.

2. Availability

If for any reason beyond our reasonable control, we are unable to supply a particular item, we will notify you as soon as possible.

3. Acceptance

For online delivery orders only, there will be no contract of any kind between you and us unless and until we actually dispatch the goods to you. At any point up until then, we may decline to supply the goods to you without giving any reason. At the moment that the goods are dispatched (and not before), a contract will be made between you and us, and you will be charged for the goods.

4. Delivery

Online delivery will be made to the email address specified by you on the completed order form.  We will do our best to secure delivery within 30 days of the date of your order (with the exception of Publications that have not been published yet) but shall not be liable for loss occasioned by delay in delivery arising out of any cause beyond our control. Each report that you order will have an "availability date". This will be one of the following:

• Available immediately or “online"- dispatched within 24 hours of the order being received, most orders are dispatched as soon as your credit card has been accepted.
• Temporarily out of stock - normally dispatched within 5 days of the order being received 
• Special order - normally dispatched within 10 days of the order being received 
• Not yet published - item will be dispatched as soon as possible after
  publication.

If you order Publications with different availability dates, you can choose to have all the Publications held until the last Publication is delivered. If you do not choose this option, each Publication will be delivered separately, and you will be charged a delivery charge each time.

If for any reason beyond our reasonable control, we are unable to supply a particular item, we will notify you as soon as possible.

5. Cancellation

Due to the nature of our Publications, and the fact that they are available online, all sales of Publications are final. This does not affect your statutory rights.

6. Returns

Publications can only be returned with the express written consent of ABS Energy Research. This does not affect your statutory rights.

7. Payment

You can pay using any major credit card. Your credit/debit card details will be encrypted to minimise the possibility of unauthorised access or disclosure. Authority for payment must be given at the time of order.

The cost of your goods includes a 4.95% transaction fee that is payable to Paysystems Corporation.

Our liability to you in connection with any order will not exceed the total price charged for the relevant items.

Please ensure that the expiry date of your payment card is after the anticipated despatch date of your order. Payment is taken at the point of despatch for goods and in the event that the payment card has expired we will be unable to take payment and fulfil your order.

8. General

These Product Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and any disputes will be decided only by the English courts.

If any of these Product Terms is held by any court of competent authority to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, this will not affect the validity of the remaining Product Terms which will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
