Terms of Service
Last updated: 1 November 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and Valentin Sarić (private individual, publishing as Polybook Press), Kriska 107, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia (“we”), about buying from Chinese Classics in English, which sells English translations of Chinese classics.
1. What you buy
Products are digital (PDF/EPUB downloads). Nothing physical is shipped. After payment you get the file or access by email from Polar.
2. Payment
Orders are sold and billed by our reseller Polar (polar.sh), the merchant of record, under Polar’s own terms. Polar handles payment, VAT/sales tax and invoices. Prices are shown in euros and include VAT where applicable.
3. How the books are made
The books are English translations of classical Chinese texts that are in the public domain, made with the help of AI language models and checked by the publisher. Some titles are sold on Amazon Kindle (Amazon’s terms apply there); others are sold here as PDF/EPUB through Polar.
4. Licence
You get a personal, non-exclusive licence to read and keep what you buy, on your own devices. Please don’t resell, share publicly, or upload the files elsewhere. Public-domain source texts remain free for everyone; this licence covers our translation, editing, layout, illustrations and covers.
5. Right of withdrawal (EU)
Digital content is delivered immediately. At checkout you agree that delivery starts at once and that you lose the 14-day right of withdrawal once the download or access has begun. Our refund policy still applies.
6. Mistakes and liability
We work carefully, but translations and AI-assisted texts can contain errors. If you find one, tell us and we will fix it and send you the corrected file. Our liability is limited to the price you paid, except where the law does not allow this.
7. Changes and law
We may update these terms; the version on this page applies to new purchases. Croatian law applies, without taking away rights you have under the consumer law of your country.
