You will need:
internet access to complete checkout and initially download the file;
a device capable of storing the file;
reasonably current PDF-reading software.
The product page states the language, approximate length, edition and material included.
Colours, typography and page rendering may vary slightly between screens, software and printers.
4. ORDERS AND PAYMENT
4. ORDERS AND PAYMENT
The total price, including applicable consumption taxes, is shown before checkout.
A contract is formed when the order is accepted and the digital product is made available through Payhip.
Areas Grey may cancel and refund an order where there has been an obvious pricing error, technical fault, suspected fraud or legal reason preventing supply.
5. DELIVERY
5. DELIVERY
Digital products are normally made available immediately after checkout.
Payhip displays a download page and sends an email receipt containing a link through which the product can be accessed.
You are responsible for providing a valid email address and retaining your receipt and download link.
Contact Areas Grey if legitimate access needs to be restored.
6. IMMEDIATE SUPPLY AND CANCELLATION
6. IMMEDIATE SUPPLY AND CANCELLATION
Paid digital content is supplied immediately rather than after the ordinary 14-day cancellation period.
Before completing a paid order, you will be asked to:
consent expressly to the immediate supply of the digital content; and
acknowledge that your ordinary right to cancel will be lost once supply begins.
This does not affect statutory rights where digital content is faulty, materially misdescribed, not supplied as agreed or otherwise fails to comply with consumer law.
7. PERSONAL-USE LICENCE
7. PERSONAL-USE LICENCE
Purchasing or downloading an Areas Grey File grants one individual a limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence for personal, non-commercial use.
You may:
retain the file on devices you personally use;
make reasonable backup copies;
print copies for your own personal use;
quote limited passages where lawful and properly attributed.
You must not, without written permission:
share, distribute or upload the complete file or substantial parts of it;
place it on a shared drive, public website or file-sharing service;
resell, rent, sublicense or commercially exploit it;
reproduce or adapt it as another publication or commercial product;
remove copyright, licence or attribution notices;
use it as training, evaluation or source data for an artificial-intelligence or machine-learning system;
use it to encourage trespass, unlawful excavation, heritage damage or unsafe activity.
Nothing in this licence restricts lawful fair dealing, quotation, criticism, review or other rights that cannot legally be excluded.
Institutions, publishers and organisations requiring broader use should contact Areas Grey.
If a full refund is issued, the personal-use licence ends immediately. The customer must cease using the product and delete all copies in their possession or control.

Areas Grey Files may concern incomplete records, disputed interpretations and unresolved historical questions.

a hypothesis is correct;
a location has been identified;
a mystery can be resolved;
an investigation will succeed;
access, searching, excavation or recovery is lawful or authorised.
9. CORRECTIONS AND UPDATED EDITIONS

Areas Grey may correct errors, clarify wording or replace a file with a revised edition.
