You may browse this site and share links to it freely. You may not copy, reproduce, scrape or republish its text, photography, film, page spreads or chapter artwork without prior written permission.

The book’s interior pages and photography shown on this website are reproduced for the purpose of presenting the publication.

When you select a purchase option and continue to checkout, you leave this website and complete your purchase through the sales platform operated by or on behalf of Pelckmans Uitgevers NV.

The operator of this website does not process payments, issue invoices, fulfil orders or deliver books.

Your contract of sale is concluded directly with the seller identified during the purchase process. All matters relating to payment, invoicing, availability, shipping, delivery, returns, refunds, applicable taxes, duties and after-sales service are governed by the seller’s applicable terms and policies and are confirmed during the purchase process.

Where a reference price is displayed on this website, it is provided for information purposes only. The final price, availability, shipping costs, applicable taxes and any duties are those confirmed by the seller before you complete your purchase.

Any statutory or contractual right of withdrawal, cancellation, return or refund in relation to the purchase of a book is governed by the applicable terms and policies of the seller with whom you conclude the purchase.

As the operator of this website is not the seller of the book, requests concerning cancellations, returns, refunds, damaged goods, incorrect deliveries or other order-related matters should be addressed to the seller or customer service contact identified during the purchase process.

Nothing in these terms affects any mandatory consumer rights that may apply to your purchase.

Joining the Collector’s Edition priority list is an expression of interest only. It does not constitute an order or reservation and creates no obligation on either party.

Press, rights and bulk enquiries are handled individually. Sending an enquiry does not create a contractual relationship or conclude an agreement.

Where you provide your contact details to receive information about the Collector’s Edition, we will process those details in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We take reasonable care to ensure that the information presented on this website is accurate and up to date and to keep the website available. However, we do not guarantee that the website will always be uninterrupted, error-free or free from technical defects.

We are not responsible for the content, availability, security or operation of third-party websites or platforms to which this website links, including the publisher’s sales platform.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is not permitted by applicable law, including liability for intent, fraud or gross negligence.

This website may contain embedded content hosted by third parties, including Vimeo. The use of such third-party services may also be subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

Belgian law applies to these terms and to the use of this website.

Any dispute relating to these terms shall be subject to the competent courts of Belgium, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection rules that may give you the right to bring proceedings in your country of residence.

We may update these terms from time to time. The version published on this website at the time of your visit applies.
