Terms of Service

These terms apply to this website and to every purchase from Shortcut Press. By using the site or buying a product, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't buy or use the products.

Shortcut Press sells self-paced digital training materials. Each product is a .zip file containing a PDF guide and practice files. The guides are self-study materials: they include no video, no live instruction, no tutoring, and no feedback on your work.

When you buy a guide, you receive a personal, non-transferable license to:

• use the guide and its practice files for your own learning;
• keep copies on your own devices; and
• print copies of the guide for your own use.

Anything you create while working through the exercises is yours.

You may not:

• resell the guides or practice files, on their own or as part of anything else;
• redistribute them, or give copies to others;
• share them with a class, students, coworkers or a team;
• upload them to file-sharing sites, shared drives open to others, or any public website; or
• claim the guides, illustrations or practice files as your own work.

Teachers, schools and companies who want to use the guides with a group can get in touch through the Contact page about a separate license. A personal purchase does not cover group use.

The guides do not include any software. You are responsible for obtaining the software each guide uses, separately from its maker. Your use of any third-party software is governed by that software maker's own terms, not by these terms. All software names mentioned are trademarks of their respective owners. Shortcut Press is not affiliated with or endorsed by any software maker.

Prices are shown in US dollars on each product's page. Applicable taxes are calculated at checkout. Payment is handled by a third-party payment provider at checkout, under that provider's own terms. Prices may change from time to time, but a change never affects a purchase you have already made.

Products are delivered as described in the Delivery Policy. Refunds are handled as described in the Refund Policy. Both policies form part of these terms.

All written content, illustrations and practice files in the guides, and all content on this website, are owned by Shortcut Press. Buying a guide gives you the license described above; it does not transfer ownership of the materials.

The guides are provided as they are. To the extent permitted by law, Shortcut Press disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. No specific result from using a guide is promised; see the Disclaimer. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under consumer protection law that cannot be limited by agreement.

To the extent permitted by law, Shortcut Press's total liability for any claim relating to a product or this website is limited to the amount you paid for the product concerned. Shortcut Press is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including the loss of your own files, which is why the Disclaimer asks you to keep backups before practicing techniques on them.

These terms may be updated from time to time. The current version is always posted on this page with its "Last updated" date. The terms in effect when you made a purchase apply to that purchase.

For any question about these terms, contact us through the Contact page.
