CANCELLING YOUR ORDER

10.1 Euromonitor may decline your order for any reason, in which case Euromonitor will send you an e-mail telling you so.

10.2 Although Euromonitor tries very hard to ensure that all information on the Site is accurate, occasionally errors may occur. If we discover an error in the description of any content or service that you have ordered, we will let you know and ask whether you wish to continue with your order or cancel it. If we discover that the correct price of any content or services you have ordered is lower than our stated price, we will charge you the lower amount and process your order.
