Your subscription contract will be fulfilled by the Left Book Club, a company registered in England and Wales under registered number 11264990 whose registered office is at 81 Crowland Road, London N15 6UL, together with its agents and sub-contractors.

Placing an Order

When subscribing online you will either see a page or receive an email if you have supplied your email address, acknowledging that you have subscribed. A legally binding contract is formed on the date we send you confirmation of your order and payment has been taken.

You will likely receive this confirmation by email within 72 hours if you supplied an email address.

We cannot be responsible if you fail to receive the written confirmation because you have supplied us with an incorrect postal address or email address.

Once you have subscribed, you will receive your first book within 14 days if you are based in the UK. If you are based outside the UK, delivery times may vary depending of postal systems. Please see our delivery FAQs for estimates of delivery times. Subsequent books will be sent out by the end of the month of the book’s publication by the Left Book Club. If you do not receive your book as expected, please contact us on office@leftbookclub.com.

Conditions of Sale

We reserve the right not to accept or process your subscription for any reason. All subscriptions are subject to validation checks and authorisation by your payment card issuer. If we do not accept your order and your credit/debit card has already been debited, we will notify you and refund your card in full immediately.

We reserve the right not to fulfill a subscription if we are unable to obtain payment authorisation from the issuer of your payment card.

We reserve the right to decline any book order without reason or explanation.

Payment

Prices displayed on the subscriptions section of the website will prevail at all times in relation to subscriptions placed on-line.

If you make ongoing subscription payments we reserve the right to increase our prices at any time after the first year of your subscription has elapsed and will notify you in writing with at least 10 working days’ notice of any such price increase.

Although we try to ensure that all prices are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of your order, we will inform you as soon as possible. You will have the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you, we will treat the order as cancelled. We will refund you in full if you cancel the order and have already paid.

If you are under 18 or are not using your own credit/debit card to pay for the subscription, you must ask the permission of the credit/debit card holder before entering the payment details. By clicking “Submit” you are confirming that you have obtained the express prior permission of the credit/debit card holder.
