Terms & Conditions

1. About this site

24codes.in is the official website for the Malayalam novel 24 Codes, written by Vinod Kottayil and published by Mentor Media. It exists to present the book, offer sample reading and take direct orders and enquiries.

If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the site.

2. Orders are requests, not contracts

Submitting the order form places a request. It does not by itself create a binding contract. A sale is formed only when we send you a written confirmation with payment instructions.

We may decline or cancel a request — for example when stock is exhausted, when the delivery address is incomplete or unreachable, or when an obvious pricing error has occurred. If you have already paid in such a case, the amount is returned in full.

3. Price and payment

• The cover price shown on this site is in Indian Rupees and applies to the paperback edition.
• The cover price is ₹600 plus postage. The launch offer price of ₹500 includes postage within India and applies only to prepaid orders, for a limited period.
• Prices may change without notice. The price confirmed in writing at the time of your order is the price that applies to it.
• No payment is taken on this website. Payment is made directly through the method named in the confirmation message.

4. Copyright

The text of 24 Codes, its title, cover artwork, logo, sample pages, photographs and all the writing on this website are protected by copyright. They belong to Vinod Kottayil and Mentor Media.

You may read, quote briefly with attribution, and share links to these pages. You may not reproduce, scan, republish, translate, adapt, sell or distribute the book or the site content, in whole or in part, without written permission.

Requests for translation rights, adaptation rights, extracts or bulk licensing are welcome — write to us.

5. Acceptable use

Please do not:

• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its server or its files.
• Use automated tools to scrape, copy or overload the site.
• Submit false information, another person’s details, or abusive, unlawful or spam content through the forms.
• Use the site or its content for any unlawful purpose.

6. Accuracy and availability

We try to keep every detail on this site correct and current, including price, page count, ISBN and availability. Occasional errors and omissions are possible and we reserve the right to correct them at any time.

The site is offered as it is. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability and may take it down for maintenance without notice.

7. Links to other sites

This site links to social media profiles and may link to booksellers or other external pages. Those sites are run by other people under their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or conduct.

8. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, the author and publisher are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of this site or of the book. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for the copy in question.

Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under Indian consumer law that cannot be limited by agreement.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Kozhikode, Kerala.

10. Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated. The version published on this page at the time you use the site is the version that applies. The date at the top tells you when it last changed.
