Licence and permitted use

When you buy a guide, you receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use it for your own exam preparation. You may download it, save it on your own devices and print it for your personal use. You may not:

  • share, forward, resell, lend or give away the guide or any part of it

  • upload it to any website, shared drive, social media, file-sharing service or AI tool

  • copy, adapt or reproduce its content in other materials

  • use it for teaching groups or classes, or distribute it to students, without a separate written licence from us

All intellectual property in the guides remains with Polina Holovkina. If you break these rules, your licence ends immediately and we may take legal action.

Right of withdrawal

Because the guides are digital content supplied immediately, you lose your right of withdrawal once the download is made available to you, provided you have given your express consent and acknowledgement at checkout. This is in accordance with Article 103(m) of the Spanish Consumer Protection Act (TRLGDCU) and Article 16(m) of EU Directive 2011/83/EU. See our Refund Policy for details.

Faulty files

If your file is damaged, incomplete or does not match its description, tell us within a reasonable time at hello@lh-english.com. We will first replace or fix the file. If we cannot do so within a reasonable time, you may be entitled to a price reduction or refund as provided by law.

No guarantee of exam results

The guides provide exam strategy and practice material. Your exam result depends on your own level of English, preparation and performance on the day. We do not guarantee any particular score, grade or pass.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to a purchase is limited to the price you paid for that product. We are not liable for indirect losses, such as exam fees, lost opportunities or loss of data. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms at any time. The version that applies to your purchase is the one published at the time you placed your order.
