Junior English wants to do everything possible to help, support and co-operate with it´s Customers to the mutual benefit of the Company and Customers.  It is therefore necessary to establish that certain conditions apply.

c)  By accepting delivery of the goods covered by the invoice, the customer acknowledges receipt of and thereby agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions. The customer further acknowledges that these terms and conditions comprise the only terms and conditions upon which the goods covered by the invoice are supplied and that they shall not be deemed to be altered or varied to any extent by any previous correspondence between Junior English and the customer.

d)  All orders must be in writing.  Telephone orders will only be accepted when written confirmation has been received. This protects both Junior English and the customer from hoax orders from a third unknown party.

2  Delivery

a)  Delivery of goods within the Federal Republic of Germany shall be made free of charge to Junior English Club Members only, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Junior English.  Goods are despatched to non-club members and overseas customers at the customer´s expense and liability, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Junior English.
