Terms & Conditions
INTRODUCTION
These terms and conditions (“Terms”) are entered into by you (“You” or “Your”) and Taylor & Francis (a trading division of Informa UK Limited), a company registered in England and Wales with company number 01072954 whose registered office is at 5 Howick Place, London, SW1P 1WG (“T&F”).
T&F provides, at its sole discretion, select books and/or eBooks published by T&F on an “as available” basis to qualified instructors and lecturers at academic institutions for consideration as a course textbook that could be recommended for student purchase (“Inspection Copy Service”; each book (whether hardcopy or digital copy) an “Inspection Copy”).
Once approved by T&F, Inspection Copies will be provided in electronic format. T&F may opt to provide a paperback print copy at its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, the format of the Inspection Copy shall be decided by T&F. T&F may limit the amount of Inspection Copies you receive and this is at its sole discretion.
SUITABILITY
The Inspection Copy Service is only available to qualified instructors and lecturers at recognised academic institutions (each a “Instructor”) who wish to review the Inspection Copy for consideration on a module they teach. T&F may verify this before access is granted to the Inspection Copy Service.
By completing and submitting the Inspection Copy form to T&F, You warrant that You are a teaching academic or lecturer and that You will provide feedback on the suitability of the Inspection Copy for the module you are considering it for. Upon receipt of Your completed Inspection Copy form, T&F shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether You qualify as a teaching academic and consider the module that you propose to evaluate the Inspection Copy for, then determine whether you are eligible to receive the Inspection Copy. T&F may request additional information from You to verify. T&F’s decision shall be final and no additional correspondence will be entered into.
If accepted to the Inspection Copy Service, You agree that you shall respond to the service emails asking for your feedback on whether the Inspection Copy was suitable for recommending on your module.
You agree that the Inspection Copy is personal to You and Your organisation. You shall not, as a principal obligation, copy, sell, give or lend the Inspection Copy to any third parties. You must notify T&F immediately of any unauthorised sharing, copying or forwarding of the Inspection Copy that comes to Your attention.
T&F may terminate and discontinue the Inspection Copy Service at any time if in T&F’s opinion, You have failed to comply with these Terms.
