Your continued use of the Service and access to the E-Books following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes. 

Purchase and Access to E-books

E-books will be hosted on Galileo servers and will be accessed over the internet via a link from the Web Shop.  Users must have an internet connection.  The precise technical requirements for the User systems are defined in the document entitled “Technical Standards” which may be accessed by clicking here.

Galileo will offer the Online Reader through a non-exclusive, non-transferable license for parallel use at one workstation of the purchaser If the use requires a temporary saving to the working memory and/or cache of a browser this shall be deemed authorized. Additional rights are not granted.
