Terms of Service

These terms apply when you use this website, buy one of our books, or license Juxtapose. They are in three parts: the books, the Juxtapose software licence, and terms that apply to everything. Our books are Algorithms Simplified or Computing Simplified. By placing an order, you agree to them.

Who we are

This website and our books are published by Rohith B V, trading as Facile Publishing (“we”, “us”, “our”). You can contact us at rohith@rohith.co.uk.

Part one · The books

The products

We publish two books: Algorithms Simplified: A Minimalist Approach to Problem-Solving and Computing Simplified: A Minimalist Approach to How It All Works (each, a “book”). Each is available as a downloadable PDF and as a printed hardcover edition in full colour, and may be sold on its own, as a bundle with an interactive companion, or together as a collection, as described at the point of sale. Every hardcover also includes the PDF edition at no extra cost. They are educational works intended for personal learning.

Orders and payment

Purchases are processed through a third-party checkout and payment provider. When you buy, you may also be subject to that provider’s terms. Prices are shown in pounds sterling (£) unless stated otherwise and may include applicable taxes. We may update prices at any time, but changes do not affect orders already placed.

Delivery

Digital editions. You receive access to download your book immediately or shortly after your payment is confirmed, via a download link or your account with the checkout provider. Please keep your copy and download link safe.

Printed editions. Hardcovers are printed to order by our print and fulfilment partner, Bookvault, at whichever of their UK, US or Canadian facilities is closest to the delivery address, and are usually dispatched in 3 to 8 working days. We ship worldwide. Postage is not included in the price shown: it is added at checkout, where you choose the delivery service you prefer. Delivery times depend on the service you pick and on your destination, and estimates given at checkout are estimates rather than guarantees. To have your book printed and sent we pass your delivery details to Bookvault; see our Privacy Policy.

Licence and permitted use (books)

When you buy a book, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to download and read it for your own personal, non-commercial use. In line with each book’s copyright notice, no part of a book may be reproduced, distributed, resold, shared, uploaded, or transmitted in any form without our prior written permission. You may not remove any copyright or attribution notices.

Refunds and cancellation (books)

Your statutory rights. Under UK consumer law a book you buy must be as described, fit for purpose, and of satisfactory quality. If it is faulty or not as described, you are entitled to a repair, replacement, or a refund. Nothing in these terms limits those statutory rights.

Money-back guarantee. Beyond your statutory rights, we offer a voluntary money-back guarantee. If you’re not happy with your purchase, email us at rohith@rohith.co.uk and we’ll refund you in full.

Digital books: 14 days. The window runs from the date of purchase. This applies even though a book is digital content delivered by immediate download.

Printed books: 30 days. The window also runs from the date of purchase rather than from the day your parcel arrives, because delivery dates are not tracked back to us. Thirty days is longer than the fourteen the law requires from delivery, and is meant to leave room for the book to reach you and still give you a fortnight to decide.

How refunds are handled. Refunds are processed by our checkout provider, Payhip, which acts as the merchant of record for your order; its own refund and chargeback policy may also apply.
