1. Create an Account
You need to create an account with us in order to shop online. This
is so that we know your name and address (so we can post your orders
to you). You only have to enter these details once - for subsequent
visits you simply have to "login" to identify yourself.
How to create an account
Because of it's uniqueness to each individual, your e-mail address
is used as the "key" to your account. Additionally you must choose
a password so that only you can access your account - remember to
choose a password that you can remember!
To create a new account simply click on the "My Account" link which
is found at the top of every page, and then select [Create
a New Account]. You then fill in your name, address and other
details. Make sure you complete all fields marked with an asterisk
as your account cannot be set up unless these are filled in.
Alternatively, you can search the site for products you would like
to buy, place these in your Shopping Basket, and then press the "Checkout"
button to buy them. Here you will be prompted to create a new account
if you do not have one already.
Information sent to us during account creation is completely secure
- see our [Security Information]
section for further details. In addition, we will use this information
only as described in our [Privacy Policy].
2. Choose the items you would like to purchase
by placing them in your Shopping Basket
Your Shopping Basket is simply a list of products you are interested
in buying. You can browse the TMC Publishing site and at any time
add a product to your basket by clicking on "Add to Basket" where
it appears.
Adding a product to your Shopping Basket in
no way commits you to buying it - you can always remove it later.
Your Shopping Basket will "remember" products you have added to it
if you leave it and continue to browse the site.
3. Checkout
Once you have placed all the items you wish to order in your Shopping
Basket, you can press the "Checkout" button to proceed with the purchase.
You will be redirected to our secure online payment processor where
you will be asked for your payment method - all information will be
transmitted in an encrypted format - see our [Security
Information] section for further details.
In "Checkout" you can check your account details and then confirm
your order. An e-mail will be sent to you confirming each order you
place, and these confirmation details will also be displayed on screen
for you to print out if desired. Please note that if you are paying
by credit/debit card you will also receive an email from Worldpay,
confirming that your payment has been processed.
Once your payment has been received (and cleared in the case of cheques)
your orders will be packaged and despatched to you.
You have a statutory right to cancel orders. Please see our Cancellation
Policy by [clicking here]. We
also operate a Returns Policy. Please [click
here] for further details.
