Misprints and Errors, Prices and Purchases
Nelson Education endeavours to provide current and accurate information on the Site and/or through the Product/Service. Nevertheless, misprints or other errors may occur. Accordingly, Nelson Education reserves the right to change the prices, fees and charges regarding the Product/Service and/or products available through the Site at any time and from time to time without any notice or liability to you or any other person. Also, Nelson Education cannot guarantee that the Product/Service or products advertised on the Site will be available when purchased or at any relevant time. Accordingly, Nelson Education reserves the right at any time to reject, correct, cancel or terminate any order or shipping request. If you order services or products for which the fee was incorrectly displayed, Nelson Education will provide you with an opportunity to cancel your request for Product/Services. If you order services or products that are not available, Nelson Education will notify you and the purchase price you actually paid will be refunded to you. Nelson Education reserves the right to refuse to accept any request for services or products, notwithstanding any course of dealing between Nelson Education and you in the past.

Your online request for services or products delivered over the Site constitutes your request to engage Nelson Education to supply those services or products. Your request for Products/Services shall be deemed to be accepted only if and when Nelson Education actually carries out your instructions.

Payment and Billing
You agree to pay applicable charges (including applicable taxes) for purchases that you make from us. Certain persons may enjoy a tax exempt status. In those circumstances, please ensure you communicate with Nelson to ensure your tax exempt status is properly recognized in the Nelson Education system.

Some Sites will have separate "Purchase Terms" that will apply to purchases made from that Site. Any such Purchase Terms will supersede the terms contained in these Terms of Use only to the extent there is a conflict and the rest of the terms set forth herein shall remain unaltered.

All prices displayed on our Sites are subject to change from time to time and without notice.

The purchase price for a product may depend on what type of customer account you have. For example, if you do not have an educational institution account and you select a product that offers different pricing for educational institutions, the price for that product may be corrected once your account type is validated and prior to completing the transaction. In similar fashion, prices may be corrected on account validation for educational institutions who may have selected a product in a non-educational institutional area of the product catalogue.

We may limit the number of promotions for which you may be eligible in a given period. In addition, certain promotional offers and discounts may apply to first-time purchasers only. We will disclose your payment terms at the time you make purchases from the Site. Discounts offered on store.nelson.com are only valid and applicable to online purchases on store.nelson.com and are not to valid with any other Nelson web sites.

You must select a payment method to pay us for any purchases you make from us. Every time you use the Product/Service, you reaffirm that (i) we or our authorized billing agent is authorized to charge your designated payment method; (ii) we may submit for payment charges incurred under your account; and (iii) you will be responsible for such charges, even if your account is cancelled or terminated. Recurring charges are billed in advance of service. You agree to provide us with accurate and complete billing information, including valid credit card or other payment method information, your name, address and telephone number, and to provide us with any changes in such information promptly after the change. You acknowledge that the agreement between you and your credit card issuer or financial institution governs your use of your credit card for payment of amounts owed to us, and that you must refer to such agreement to determine your rights and obligations as a holder of such card.

YOU AGREE THAT WE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY THIRD PARTY BILLING AGENT WE USE) MAY CHARGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD FOR ALL AMOUNTS DUE TO US WITHOUT ADDITIONAL NOTICE OR CONSENT UNLESS REQUIRED OTHERWISE BY LAW.

You are responsible for all charges incurred under your account made by you or anyone who uses your account (including your children, family or friends). We may, in our discretion, post charges to your payment method individually or may aggregate your charges with other purchases you make on the Site and apply those charges to your next billing cycle.

If, for any reason, we do not receive payment from your credit card or other payment method issuer, upon demand you agree to pay the overdue amount by other means acceptable to us. We reserve the right to accept other forms of payment, and if we elect to invoice you for services, you agree to pay to us the amount indicated in each invoice by the due date reflected on the invoice.

If you believe that a billing discrepancy has occurred, you must notify us within 60 days after the date on which such discrepancy first appeared on your credit card or other payment method account statement or invoice, as the case may be, or such amounts will be deemed to have been accepted by you. You agree to release us from any liability for any error or discrepancy that is reported to us after such period.

Your failure to pay according to the terms of these Terms of Use shall entitle us, without prejudice to our other rights and remedies, to (i) charge interest on a daily basis from the original due date at the rate of the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum amount permissible by law and/or (ii) suspend or terminate your subscription (if applicable) and/or access to the Product/Service. You shall reimburse us for all reasonable costs incurred by us in collecting past due amounts, including wire transfer fees, collection agency fees, reasonable legal fees and court costs. We may charge a fee for reinstatement of suspended or terminated accounts.
