Any transaction between us is subject exclusively to the laws of England and Wales and UK ratified EU regulations. Nothing in these Terms & Conditions will contradict or limit your rights under such laws and regulations.

To get this far you must have access to, and the ability to use, the Internet. By viewing the example pages you can see exactly how the CD will look on your own computer. So I am going to assume that you are a grown up, have a PayPal Account and won't grizzle or sue me unless I fail to provide what I have promised.

Therefore, in summary:-

You – "the buyer"

      will abide by the licence agreement found on each disc and this website.
      will pay me the price agreed.

I – "the seller"

      will send you with all due speed what you have ordered and it will work.
      will replace it in the very unlikely event that it doesn't.
      will inform you if despatch is not going to be immediate.
      will send you an email confirming your order and all information required by law.
      will not contact you again unless you have explicitly requested updates.
      will not pass your details to any third party.

I want you to enjoy the map.
I want the process of obtaining it to be easy and stress free for both of us.

If you are delighted, please tell everyone you meet.
If you are unhappy, please tell me and I will try to put it right.

This document is as short as I can make it. I apologise if you have to read some sentences more than once in different places, but I am obliged to include certain information and there are other things I would like you to know.

These discs are only available via this website or from the Parish Chest, the premier online genealogy specialists. I will not host advertisements on the site nor will I use the site to collect personal information about visitors or customers.

This is my hobby, not how I earn a living. You are still protected by UK consumer legislation, but there will occasionally be times when I am away from my computer (holidays, family trips etc.) and unable to reply to emails. Any such occasions will be displayed in advance on the Home page and during these periods the facility to buy on line will be temporarily disabled. If you need to contact me during these periods I ask your forbearance.

The CD is supplied for your own personal research and not, under any circumstances, for commercial use. Electronic versions of books and maps are classified as "services" rather than "goods" by UK tax laws (HMRC Reference: Notice 741) and are subject to VAT, but not export or import duties.
So please note:- I am not registered for VAT, therefore no tax has been paid by either of us on this transaction. If you are a UK or EU resident (except Jersey) this does not matter.

If you are resident outside of the UK or EU or live in Jersey, any export or import duties, local or national taxes or other charges imposed by the authorities where you live are not included in the price you have paid and are your responsibility.

Wherever you live, any transaction between us is specifically covered by the Distance Selling Regulations (DSR). These can be viewed on the Office of Fair Trading website or you can read a Rich Text File (RTF) summary of my obligations and your rights by clicking here.

The DSR classifies these CD's as "software", and your right to cancel is severely limited by these regulations. In my email confirming your order, which forms part of these Terms & Conditions, I explain your cancellation rights.

These CD's work with current versions of Windows, Mac OS/Leopard and Linux/Ubuntu and I have comprehensibly tested them with the six most common browsers. If you have another operating system, or have made your own browser, please look at the example pages, before you order, to see how they work for you, in case you need to go a bit more mainstream.


Envisaging, designing, building and testing an electronic Map is a rewarding, but expensive and very time consuming process. If I eventually make a profit I will source and convert more maps for sale on maps.thehunthouse.

Just in case, production of others are planned.

Comments, criticism, corrections or praise are equally welcomed and will all receive an appropriate reply. If you have something to say please contact me.
