Terms & Conditions
The rules are simple. Respect the story. Respect each other.
Last updated: 1 October 2026
1. About These Terms
These Terms & Conditions apply when you visit or use the Smart & Dangerous website, request content from us, join the S&D FAM, make an enquiry, or purchase products directly from Nenwa Publishing.
The website is operated by:
-
Nenwa Publishing
-
Established: United Kingdom
-
Email: info@smart-and-dangerous.com
By using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you purchase from a third party, such as an online bookseller, that purchase is also subject to the third party’s own terms.
These Terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
2. Using Smart & Dangerous
You may use the Smart & Dangerous website for lawful personal, educational and non-commercial purposes.
You must not:
-
use the website unlawfully or fraudulently;
-
interfere with its operation or security;
-
attempt to gain unauthorised access to systems or information;
-
introduce malicious code or harmful technology;
-
impersonate another person or deliberately provide misleading information;
-
harass, threaten or harm another person; or
-
copy, scrape or commercially exploit our content without permission.
We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect the website, our users or our rights.
3. Books, Products and Pricing
We aim to describe our books and other products accurately. Images, colours and presentation may vary slightly depending on your device or, for physical products, the printing or production process.
Prices and availability may change from time to time.
Where we sell products directly, the applicable price and any delivery charges will be shown or communicated before an order is confirmed.
If a price or product description contains an obvious error, we may correct it and contact you before accepting or fulfilling the affected order.
Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights. Goods supplied to consumers must meet applicable legal requirements, including being as described, of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose.
4. Orders and Payments
Where products are available to purchase directly from us, placing an order does not necessarily mean that we have accepted it.
We may send an acknowledgement confirming that we have received your order or enquiry. A contract is formed when we confirm acceptance of the order, unless we tell you otherwise during the ordering process.
Payment methods and any applicable delivery charges will be shown or communicated before the order is confirmed.
We may decline or cancel an order where, for example:
-
a product is unavailable;
-
payment cannot be authorised;
-
the price or description contained an obvious error;
-
delivery cannot reasonably be made to the requested destination; or
-
we reasonably suspect fraud or misuse.
-
If we cancel an order after taking payment, we will refund the relevant amount.
5. Delivery, Cancellations and Returns
Where we sell physical products directly, delivery options, charges and any estimated delivery times will be shown or agreed before the order is confirmed.
Unless a different delivery period has been agreed, consumer goods should normally be delivered without undue delay and within 30 days of the contract being made.
For eligible distance purchases, consumers generally have a legal right to cancel within 14 days after receiving the goods without giving a reason. After notifying us of cancellation, goods generally need to be returned within a further 14 days. Certain exceptions may apply, including to goods made to a consumer’s specifications or clearly personalised.
Where a cancellation right applies, information about returning the product, return costs and refunds will be provided as required by law.
If goods are faulty, damaged, not as described or otherwise fail to meet your statutory rights, please contact us. Your statutory rights are separate from any cancellation rights and are not affected by these Terms.
6. Schools, Libraries and Bulk Orders
Schools, libraries and other organisations may contact us about class sets, library copies, reading programmes and other bulk requirements.
Submitting an enquiry does not create an order or require you to purchase anything.
We will confirm relevant details such as:
-
availability and quantity;
-
format;
-
price;
-
delivery arrangements;
-
payment or purchase order requirements; and
-
any other conditions applying to the order.
An order becomes binding only when the relevant order terms have been agreed and accepted.
Additional or different terms may apply to business or institutional purchases where these are agreed with the organisation.
7. Free Content and the S&D FAM
We may provide chapters, extracts, educator resources or other content free of charge.
Unless stated otherwise, these materials are for personal or legitimate educational use. Schools, libraries and educators may use designated educational resources for teaching, learning and discussion within their organisation.
Free material must not be sold, commercially redistributed or presented as someone else’s work without permission.
You may also choose to join the S&D FAM to receive Smart & Dangerous updates, early access, behind the scenes material and other content.
Joining the S&D FAM is free unless we clearly state otherwise for a future service or offer. You can unsubscribe from email communications at any time.
If you are a young person and are unsure about providing information online, we encourage you to ask a parent, guardian or another adult you trust.
8. Intellectual Property
The Smart & Dangerous books, stories, characters, artwork, illustrations, branding, logos, website content, downloads and other original material are protected by intellectual property rights.
Unless otherwise stated, these rights belong to Nenwa Publishing, the relevant author or creator, or are used under licence.
You may view and use website content for your own lawful personal or educational use.
You must not, without permission:
-
reproduce or republish substantial website or book content;
-
sell or commercially distribute our material;
-
modify material and present it as original Smart & Dangerous content;
-
use our branding or intellectual property to suggest an unauthorised association or endorsement; or
-
otherwise exploit our intellectual property in a way not permitted by law.
-
Making content available free of charge does not transfer ownership or intellectual property rights in that content.
9. Acceptable Use and User Content
If the website allows you to submit messages, comments, competition entries, creative material or other content, you remain responsible for what you submit.
You must not submit material that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, discriminatory, defamatory, deliberately misleading, infringing, malicious or otherwise harmful.
You must only submit content that you have the right to provide.
Where a particular activity, competition or feature requires us to use submitted creative content beyond administering that activity, any additional rights or permissions required will be explained in the applicable rules or information before submission.
We may remove or disregard material that breaches these Terms or where reasonably necessary to protect users, our services or the rights of others.
10. Third Party Services and Liability
The website may contain links to third party websites, including booksellers and other service providers.
We do not control those websites. Their own terms, privacy practices, delivery arrangements and other policies may apply when you use them or purchase from them.
We aim to keep Smart & Dangerous accurate, secure and available, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.
Website content is provided primarily for general information, entertainment and educational purposes and should not be treated as professional advice.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, or excludes or restricts any consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.
To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for losses resulting from misuse of the website or circumstances outside our reasonable control.
11. Privacy, Changes and Legal Terms
Our collection and use of personal information is explained in our Privacy Policy. Our use of cookies and similar technologies is explained in our Cookie Policy.
We may update these Terms when our website, products, services or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with the date it was last updated.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.
A delay or failure by us to enforce a provision does not mean that we waive our right to enforce it later.
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, subject to any mandatory consumer rights or jurisdictional protections that apply to you.
