The prices listed in our portal include statutory VAT and all other price components. No shipping costs apply.

4. Payment Terms and Default

(1) We generally accept the following payment methods:

• Credit card, bank transfer and PayPal.

(2) The selection of available payment methods is at our discretion. In particular, we reserve the right to offer only selected payment methods for your purchase.

(3) If you fall into payment arrears, you are obliged to pay statutory default interest of 5 percentage points above the base interest rate. For each reminder sent to you after default has occurred, a reminder fee of EUR 2.50 will be charged, unless a lower or higher damage is proven in the individual case.

5. Delivery

(1) Delivery of the purchased e‑books is made by providing a download link via email to the email address stored in your customer account. The email is sent immediately after the order. You may activate the link to start the download to your chosen storage device.

(2) The email link may be used only once. Further downloads via the provided link are not possible. There is no entitlement to additional download links for an already purchased e‑book.

(3) It is your responsibility to ensure that you have suitable software (e.g. Acrobat Reader) that enables proper opening and printing of the e‑books.

6. Right of Withdrawal

(1) You have a right of withdrawal in accordance with the following provisions:

Right of Withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day the contract is concluded.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw from this contract by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, telephone call or email). You may use the attached model withdrawal form, but this is not mandatory.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient that you send the notification of exercising the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period expires.

Consequences of Withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse all payments we have received from you, including delivery costs (except for additional costs arising from your choice of a delivery method other than the least expensive standard delivery offered by us), without delay and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we receive your notification of withdrawal. For this refund, we use the same payment method that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise; in no case will you be charged fees for this refund.

We may refuse the refund until we have received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is earlier.

You must return or hand over the goods to us without delay and in any event no later than fourteen days from the day on which you notify us of the withdrawal. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the fourteen‑day period expires.

You bear the direct costs of returning the goods.

You must pay for any loss in value of the goods only if this loss in value is due to handling that is not necessary to check the condition, properties and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal expires in the case of a contract for the supply of digital content not stored on a physical data carrier if the trader has begun performance of the contract after the consumer has expressly agreed that the trader may begin performance before the withdrawal period expires and has confirmed awareness that this agreement results in the loss of the right of withdrawal once performance begins.

7. Warranty and Liability

(1) Unless expressly agreed otherwise, your warranty claims are governed by statutory provisions.

(2) Unlimited liability: We are fully liable for intent and gross negligence as well as under the Product Liability Act. For slight negligence, we are liable for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health.

(3) Otherwise, the following limited liability applies: In cases of slight negligence, we are only liable for breach of an essential contractual obligation, the fulfilment of which enables proper performance of the contract in the first place and on whose observance you regularly rely (cardinal obligation). Liability for slight negligence is limited to foreseeable damages typical for this type of contract. This limitation also applies in favour of our vicarious agents.

8. Copyright and Usage Rights

(1) All e‑books provided by us are protected by copyright.

(2) You acquire a perpetual, simple, non‑transferable right of use exclusively for non‑commercial purposes. No exploitation rights are granted. In particular, you may not distribute the purchased e‑books—whether digitally or in printed form, in whole or in part—make them publicly accessible, or otherwise pass them on to third parties. The right to reproduce is limited to reproductions solely for personal use.

(3) The granting of usage rights is subject to the suspensive condition of full payment of the purchase price.

(4) We are entitled to personalise digital content made available for download with visible and invisible markings to enable identification and legal prosecution of the original purchaser in the event of misuse.

(5) In the event of unauthorised use of the digital content by the purchaser or a third party, the purchaser undertakes to pay a contractual penalty of EUR 20,000 per infringement.

9. Final Provisions

(1) Should one or more provisions of these Terms and Conditions be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.

(2) Austrian law applies exclusively to contracts between you and us.
