Further information concerning your order

  • By placing an order for a digital copy you accept the general business terms and conditions.

  • Please note that the price calculated on the order form is often inexact. You will receive a cost estimate with the exact price in any case.

  • We point out that the automatic character recognition (OCR) does not yield completely correct results, and that inaccuracies can occur in particular with older books.

  • When you place an order for TIFFs you will also receive the same digital copy in PDF format without extra charge.

  • Copyright-free works or works for which we receive a declaration of consent from the author or publisher will be copied by us to the digital library e-rara or e-manuscripta respectively, and will thereby be available not only worldwide but on a long-term basis.

Payment options

Benefit from the diverse possibilities of online payment:

  • Direct payment by all leading credit cards providers (Visa, Mastercard, Diners Club), Maestro or Paypal.

Delivery

Delivery time: We endeavour to digitalize and supply the book within 14 days. However, the prerequisite for this is the physical availability of the book in the library. Existing digital copies can be supplied within a week. For longer delivery dates, we will notify you immediately.  
Delivery options: Generally, our digital copy is available to you for download immediately after payment per Internet. This link remains in place for two months. In this way you can work with the digital copy immediately.  

However, you can also choose shipping via data medium (CD-ROM or DVD depending on the file size) for an additional charge:

  • Europe: CHF 9.00

  • Worldwide: CHF 12.00

Right of return

Returning the digital copy is, unfortunately, not possible as the nature of the product is unsuitable for this.


EOD reprints
