To order from Grail Books Australia, a user can use several methods: by telephone (toll free), fax, email and via the online shop. 

1. The transfer of information between the user and the servers of Grail Books Australia is secured by SSL encryption of data in the online store. 

2. Grail Books Australia is committed to protecting data, data access, as well as access to data equipment through appropriate measures in order to protect personal information under the laws in force in Victoria and Australia (passwords, secure network access and locked premises). 

3. The sole purpose of collecting the data is to conclude the sale transaction by the exchange of delivery information such as address and ordering details. Grail Books Australia does not make telephone solicitations; neither do they appoint third parties to make solicitations on their behalf. The only form of communication with users or the public is by post or email, when a user has agreed to receive an item offered for sale. 

4. When ordering, your name and address are placed on a mailing list for occasional promotions or new products, if you check the box provided for this purpose. You can later have your name removed from the list if you wish, by contacting us by email. Grail Books Australia undertakes to respect the choice of the user. In a delisting, the information is destroyed on our lists and in our servers. 

5. Personal information stored by Grail Books Australia (for example, in the order management software, or for the management of taxes and other administrative purposes) are saved permanently and confidentially in our accounting archives, which are entirely independent of our lists for promotional mailings or dissemination events.

10. The delivery charge for your order will be confirmed BEFORE the conclusion of the transaction. The user is always aware of the exact cost of his order before the transaction is finalized. 

11.    Downloads available upon purchase.

12. If you have a problem with the order, or are not satisfied, please contact us by telephone on our toll-free number and leave us your message there. We promise to respond as soon as possible, usually within 24 hours.
