These terms apply to everything sold on this website. Please read them before buying — buying means you accept them.
1. Who you are contracting with
The books are written and provided by Raül Gimeno Carcedo (see the legal notice), trading as Skip The Degree.
The sale itself is processed by Lemon Squeezy, LLC as merchant of record. Lemon Squeezy is the seller for the transaction: it charges you, handles the VAT or sales tax owed in your country, and issues your receipt. Its terms apply to the payment. These terms apply to the product and its licence.
2. What you are buying
A digital publication in PDF format, delivered as an immediate download after payment. Nothing physical is shipped.
- A single volume gives you that one book, in its current edition, plus any later corrections to it.
- The Library gives you every volume published at the time of purchase, plus every volume published afterwards, plus all future revisions — at no extra cost, with no subscription and no expiry.
Volumes marked "coming" on the site are not yet written and are not being sold. They are listed so that Library buyers can see the direction of the series. No date is promised for any of them.
3. Price and payment
Prices are shown in US dollars and do not include VAT or sales tax, which is calculated and added by Lemon Squeezy at checkout according to where you are. Payment is taken in full at the time of purchase. Prices may change for future buyers; a change never affects a purchase you have already made.
4. Delivery
Your download link is issued immediately after payment and also sent to the email address you provide. If it does not arrive, check your spam folder, then write to hello@skipthedegree.net and you will be sent the file directly.
5. Your licence
You get a personal, perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use what you bought. You may:
- Read it on any device you own.
- Print it for your own use.
- Keep it forever, including after any of these terms change.
You may not:
- Resell, sublicense, rent or give away the file.
- Upload it anywhere public, or share it on a file-sharing service.
- Republish the text, in whole or in substantial part, in any medium.
- Use the content to train a machine-learning model.
- Remove or alter any attribution or copyright notice.
6. Refunds and the right of withdrawal
There is a 30-day money-back guarantee on everything sold here, described in full on the refund policy page.
Separately, EU consumers normally have a 14-day right of withdrawal. For digital content delivered immediately, that right is lost once download begins and you have expressly consented to it and acknowledged the loss — which is what the checkbox at checkout is for. The 30-day guarantee offered here is deliberately more generous than the law requires and is offered regardless of that checkbox.
7. What is not promised
These books are educational publications. They are researched carefully and every factual claim is checked, but:
- They are not a degree, not a qualification, not accredited by anyone, and they confer no academic credit.
- They do not guarantee employment, a salary, an interview, or any career outcome.
- They are not professional, legal, medical or financial advice.
- Where a field genuinely requires supervised practice or a licence to work in it, the books say so plainly rather than pretending otherwise.
The books are provided as they are. If you find a factual error, report it to hello@skipthedegree.net and it will be corrected in the next revision, which you get free.
8. Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, liability for any claim connected to these products is limited to the amount you actually paid. Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law. Your statutory consumer rights are unaffected.
9. Changes
These terms may be updated. The version that applies to your purchase is the one published at the moment you bought. Changes are never applied retroactively.
10. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by Spanish law. If you are a consumer resident in the EU you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of your own country, and you may use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. The sensible first step, though, is to email and say what went wrong.
