Terms and conditions
Last updated: 2026-11-07
These terms govern your use of beltabooks.com (the "website"). By using the website you accept them. If you don't agree, please don't use the website.
Who we are
The website is operated by Consilience Media Limited, trading as Belta Books, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 04214205, with its registered office at Unit 5, 305 Whitley Road, Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear NE26 2HU, United Kingdom. You can contact us at Email us.
Buying books
Your order. When you place an order we email to confirm it, and that email is our contract with you. If we can't supply a book, for example because it's out of stock or its price on the website is clearly wrong, we'll tell you and refund you in full.
Prices and payment. Prices are in pounds sterling and include VAT where it applies (printed books are zero-rated in the UK). The delivery charge is shown at checkout before you pay. We take payment when you order, by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, through Stripe. Offers apply as shown in your basket.
Pre-orders. You pay for a pre-order when you place it, and we post it when the book is published. Anything else in the same order is posted straight away, so your order may arrive in more than one parcel. If publication is delayed we'll email you the new date, and you can cancel for a full refund.
Delivery and returns. How we deliver, import charges, lost parcels, damaged books and cancelling are covered on our Delivery and returns page, which is part of these terms. Refunds go back to the payment method you used.
Trade orders. If you're buying for a business, such as a bookshop, contact us at Email us about trade terms.
