We will advise you as soon as possible if there is likely to be a
delay with your order.

AMI Publications and PiD accept special orders for books that are
either outside our normal stock range or which have not yet been
published. Payment for special orders must be made at time of
ordering and is not normally refundable unless we are unable to
fulfil the order or the goods are faulty. If we are unable to
fulfil your order within 15 working days, we will advise you of the
situation and give you the opportunity to cancel your order (and
receive a refund on that item). This process will be repeated
approximately every 15 working days until your order is delivered
or you cancel it.
7. Mixed Orders
If you have placed an order for several publications, and one of
these items is on 'special order', items in stock will be sent to
you and the balance of your order (the item on special order) will
be sent to you under separate cover as soon as possible or may be
cancelled by you, after 15 working days have elapsed.
8. Cancellation of Orders
For normal stock items you can cancel your web order up to 30 days
after you make it. If you want to cancel an order you must send an
e-mail message to AMI Publicationsbooks@amiplastics.com stating
your AMI Publications order number and the reason for
cancellation.
Confirmation of your cancelled order will be made by AMI
Publications and the cancellation becomes effective when you
receive that confirmation. If you cancel your order before we
despatch any books your credit card will be refunded in full.
Normally we would despatch the books to you within 24 hours of your
order.
If you decide to cancel your web order after we have despatched
the books then you must return those books in perfect saleable
condition to us within 30 days of your cancellation and we will
refund the cost of the books in full to your credit card. However
we cannot refund the cost of the postage and courier charges
incurred in sending the books to you and you will bear the cost of
returning the books to us at our Bristol, UK premises. We (the
Seller) shall not be liable for loss or damage whilst returned
goods are in transit back to our office address. Note that special
orders obtained on your behalf ( and shown as red in our stock
listings) are not returnable once they have been despatched unless
faulty.
AMI database products require the user to contact AMI for
an activation code before the database is installed on a computer.
Once the database has been installed it is not returnable unless
faulty. AMI's Top 50 Products (Products whose title begins with
'Corporate Performance and ...') are not returnable once shipped
unless faulty. This is because these are strategic documents which
include research which identifies the top 50 players in certain
markets. Once the goods are shipped we consider that you are in
receipt of that intelligence and no refund can be offered. If the
goods are a special order that we cannot return to the publisher
then you will not be able to return the goods and no refund can be
offered

postage or courier charge. Any AMI product supplied as a download
