Terms of sale

The short version, in plain words.

These terms cover the sale of How Your Body Really Works, a digital book sold from this website. Buying it means you accept them. They are written to be read, not to be impenetrable.

What you are buying

A digital book, delivered as a PDF and an EPUB file. There is no printed copy and nothing is shipped. The photographs on this site show the book as an object so you can see the design; what arrives is the files.

The files are for your own use, on as many of your own devices as you like. Please do not redistribute, resell or publish them. The text, the design and the images are ours.

Delivery

Delivery is immediate. As soon as payment completes you are taken to a page carrying both files. That page also gives you a personal link back to them. Keep it: your Stripe receipt links to Stripe, not to this site. If anything fails, or you lose the link, reply to the receipt and it gets fixed.

Refunds, and the fourteen day right

There are no refunds on this book. It is a file, delivered the moment you pay. Once it has been delivered it cannot be given back.

If you buy as a consumer in the EU or the UK, you normally have fourteen days to withdraw from a purchase of digital content. For a file delivered immediately, that right ends at delivery only if you ask for it to. So checkout cannot be completed without ticking a box in which you:

If that consent was not given, the right of withdrawal stands: reply to your receipt within fourteen days of buying and you get your money back.

This is why the whole table of contents is on the sales page. You can see what you are buying before you pay for it.

What this book is not

It is educational. It is not medical advice. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and it is not a substitute for a doctor. If you are unwell, if something has changed in your body, or if you are taking medication, speak to a qualified professional. Several chapters tell you to do exactly that.

Every factual claim carries a source, and where evidence is weak or contested the book says so. That does not make it a clinical document, and nothing in it should be used to delay or replace care.

Price and tax

Prices are in US dollars. Tax is calculated at checkout where it applies, based on where you are. The launch price is temporary and will rise; the price you pay is the price shown at the moment you buy.

If something goes wrong

Reply to your receipt. A real person reads it. Files that will not open, links that will not load and payments that went through twice all get sorted without argument.
