1. DEFINITIONS In this document the following words shall have the following meanings: "Buyer" means the person who buys Goods from the Seller; "Consumer" shall have the meaning ascribed in section 12 of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977; "Goods" means the articles that the Buyer agrees to buy from the Seller; "List Price" means the list of prices of the Goods maintained by the Seller as amended from time to time; "Seller" means Gathered Images; "Terms and Conditions" means the terms and conditions of sale set out in this document and any special terms and conditions agreed in writing by the Seller.

2. GENERAL SCOPE 2.1 These Terms and Conditions shall apply without restriction or reservation to all sales concluded by Gathered Images, an independent bookseller located at Unit 13, 18–24 Shacklewell Lane London E8 2EZ, United Kingdom- represented by its legal representative, duly authorised for the purposes hereof (“the Seller”) to non-professional purchasers (“the Buyer”) wishing to acquire the goods offered for sale by the Seller (“the Goods ”) on the AbeBooks website (“the Site”). 2.2 All orders for Goods shall be deemed to be an offer by the Buyer to purchase Goods pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and are subject to acceptance by the Seller. The Seller may choose not to accept an order for any reason. 2.3 The Site and the Goods are intended exclusively for individuals and are not for professionals. Acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale is made as soon as the validation of the Order is finalised by the “double click” process as described in 7.2. This acceptance can only be full and complete. Any conditional confirmation will be considered null and void. 2.4 Any variation to these Terms and Conditions shall be inapplicable unless agreed in writing by the Seller. 2.5 Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall affect the Buyer's statutory rights as a Consumer. 2.6 These Terms and Conditions, and the Order summary sent to the Customer form a contractual whole summarising all the agreements between the parties. By the mere fact of validating the Order, the Purchaser declares to have read, understood, and accepted without reservation the terms of the said Order and the whole of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

3. PRICE AND PAYMENT 3.1 The price of the Goods shall be that stipulated on the Seller's website at the date of order or as agreed between the parties. The prices displayed on the Site are shown in £ (GBP) inclusive of VAT and exclusive of any delivery charges. 3.2 Payment of the total purchase price (including VAT and any delivery charges) must be made in full before dispatch of the Goods. 3.3 Prices are subject to change at any time without given notice. 3.4 All Orders are payable in £ (GBP) and payment for purchases are made online using a bank card or paypal account. 3.5 The Buyer will be debited the full amount indicated on the summary of the Order on the day of his/her Order. The Buyer guarantees the Seller that he/she is fully authorised to use the payment card for the payment of his/her Order and that these means of payment legally give access to sufficient funds to cover all costs resulting from his/her Order on the Site. 3.6 The Seller cannot be held liable for any fraudulent use of the payment method used. The Seller reserves the right to suspend or cancel any orders and/or shipping, whatever its nature and stage of execution, in the event of non-payment of any amount due from the Buyer, or of any payment incident. 3.7 The data provided for payment by bank card will be processed in a secure manner. The Seller has no access to these bank details, and does not keep them on its servers: for this reason, these details are systematically requested during any new transaction on the Site. 3.8 In all cases, the online provision of a bank card number and the final validation of the Order will be proof of the entirety of the said Order, and will render the Buyer liable for the sums committed by the selection of Goods appearing on the Order form. This validation will be deemed as signature and express acceptance of all the operations carried out on the Site.

4. ORDERS 7.1 Orders are placed in English, in £ (GBP). Any Order that can be placed by the Buyer directly on the Site carries the obligation of payment. During the Order placement, the Buyer agrees to provide the information requested in the form and assures its truthfulness. The Seller cannot be held liable for typing errors by the Buyer in the order form. The Buyer must ensure that he/she has provided accurate and complete information regarding the delivery address (street, building, stairwell, access codes, names and/or intercom numbers, etc.). Any reshipment caused by any mistake or lack of precision on the delivery address, will be the responsibility of the Buyer. 7.2 The confirmation of the Order is made in accordance with the provisions of the Consumer Code as per “double click” process. The “double click” process consists of: A) a first click to place the Product in the basket; B) a second click to validate the basket having checked the contents of the Order and modified, if necessary, the contents of the basket and the information relating to the payment and delivery of the Order. 7.3 It is clearly stated that the validation of the Order requires the Buyer to pay for the Order immediately. Once the Order has been validated by the Buyer by “double click”, an email acknowledging receipt of the Order and containing all of this information will then be sent to the Purchaser as soon as possible. The Buyer must therefore provide a valid e-mail address when completing the fields relating to his/her identity. Any Order validated by the Purchaser by the “double click” process constitutes an irrevocable acceptance that can only be brought into question within the limits provided for in these Terms and Conditions. In particular, all orders imply acceptance of prices and descriptions of products on sale. 7.4 The Seller reserves the right to suspend or cancel the execution of any Order and/or delivery, regardless of its nature and level of performance, in the event of non-payment or partial payment of any amount due by the Buyer, in the event of a payment incident, or in case of fraud or attempted fraud relating to the use of the Site, including on the occasion of previous Orders. 7.5 Certain Products may be made available for Pre-Order on the Site prior to their official release date. The Customer may place a Pre-Order, it being specified that he/she acknowledges having read the information regarding the release date at the time of the opening of the Pre-Order phase. Being solely responsible for the marketing of the Goods, the Seller reserves the right to modify this release date at any time.In the event that some Goods are pre-ordered on the Site, the Pre-Order will be paid in the same way as for a conventional order, regardless of the contents of the rest of the basket which may contain other items for a conventional order. Only the delivery will be delayed until the announced release date. Delivery of the Product will be made a few days after the official release date.

5. WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 8.1 The Seller warrants that the Goods will at the time of delivery correspond to the description given by the Seller. 8.2 Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall exclude or limit the liability of the Seller for death or personal injury, however the Seller shall not be liable for any direct loss or damage suffered by the Buyer howsoever caused, as a result of any negligence, breach of contract or otherwise in excess of the price of the Goods. The Seller shall not be liable under any circumstances to the Buyer or any third party for any indirect or consequential loss of profit, consequential or other economic loss suffered by the Buyer howsoever caused, as a result of any negligence, breach of contract, misrepresentation or otherwise.

6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Under no circumstances is the Customer allowed to download or modify all or part of the Site and in particular its content (products listed, descriptions, images, texts, etc.). This Site or any part of this Site must not be reproduced, copied, sold or exploited for commercial purposes without the express written permission of the Seller. In general, all copyrights, trademarks and other distinctive signs and rights of ownership or intellectual property appearing on the Site, will remain the exclusive property of the Seller or its partners. The Customer is therefore required to respect the intellectual property rights and may not use the brands appearing on the Site and the Products, if any, or file a trademark that would prejudice the owner of the rights, unless contractual provision to the contrary. The same is true for any other intellectual property right.

7. FORCE MAJEURE Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform any of its obligations if the delay or failure results from events or circumstances outside its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of strikes, lock outs, pandemic, accidents, war, fire, breakdown of plant or machinery or shortage or unavailability of raw materials from a natural source of supply, and the party shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of its obligations. In case of occurrence of a force majeure event, the party concerned must inform the other within fifteen (15) days of the occurrence of this event, by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt. Explicitly, those events are deemed to be cases of force majeure which are usually held to be so by the decisions of the jurisprudence of the courts and tribunals of England. All obligations of the parties will be suspended for the duration of the force majeure event, without compensation. If the force majeure event continues for more than three (3) months, the contract concerned may be terminated automatically without compensation for either party.

8. SEVERANCE If any term or provision of these Terms and Conditions is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason by any court of competent jurisdiction such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect as if these Terms and Conditions had been agreed with the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision eliminated.

9. UPDATE These general terms and conditions can be modified at any time and without notice by Loose Joints, the applicable conditions being those in force on the date of the order by the Customer.

10. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and the parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the British courts.
