You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for activity conducted through your account.

Please notify us promptly at hello@adoreblackwood.com if you believe your account or purchase information has been accessed or used without authorization.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that contain false information, violate these Terms, present a security risk, or are used for fraudulent or abusive activity.

We may offer products including:

• Printed books
• Ebooks and other digital products
• Signed or personalized editions
• Book-related merchandise
• Journals and stationery
• Gift items
• Limited-edition products
• Preorder products
• Other Adore Blackwood or Adoreland Publishing products

Products, quantities, formats, features, prices, release dates, and availability may change without notice.

We make reasonable efforts to display product descriptions, colors, dimensions, cover artwork, and images accurately. Colors and appearance may vary depending on screen settings, printing methods, materials, production processes, and other factors.

We may limit quantities, discontinue products, correct errors, or refuse orders when reasonably necessary.

Prices are displayed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

Applicable taxes, shipping charges, and other fees will be displayed during checkout before the order is submitted, when applicable.

Purchases and preorders initiated through adoreblackwood.com may be completed through Payhip or another authorized third-party checkout provider.

Payments may be processed through Stripe, PayPal, or other payment methods made available through the applicable checkout provider.

When you select a purchase or preorder button on adoreblackwood.com, you may be redirected to a secure third-party checkout page to complete your transaction.

Your use of Payhip, Stripe, PayPal, or another third-party payment service may also be governed by that provider’s own terms, privacy policy, and payment-processing practices.

We do not directly receive or store your complete credit card or debit card information when payment is processed by a third-party payment provider.

We reserve the right to correct pricing, discount, product-description, or other information errors.

If an error affects an order that has already been placed, we may contact you and provide an appropriate option, which may include approving the corrected transaction, canceling the order, or receiving a refund.

An order confirmation means that your order has been received. It does not necessarily mean that the order has been accepted, processed, fulfilled, or shipped.

We reserve the right to cancel or limit an order due to:

• Product unavailability
• Incorrect pricing or product information
• Suspected fraud or unauthorized payment
• Shipping restrictions
• Violation of these Terms
• Inventory or checkout errors
• Payment-processing problems
• Circumstances beyond our reasonable control

If we cancel an order after payment has been successfully processed, we will issue an applicable refund to the original payment method.

A preorder allows you to purchase a product before its anticipated release, publication, shipping, or availability date.

Product pages will generally identify the anticipated release or availability date.

Release, production, printing, manufacturing, fulfillment, digital-delivery, and shipping dates are estimates unless expressly stated otherwise.

Dates may change because of writing, editing, formatting, printing, manufacturing, distribution, technology, carrier, or other delays.

If a preorder is significantly delayed, we may provide an update and, when required by applicable law, an opportunity to accept the delay or cancel an unfulfilled order for a refund.

Unless a product listing states otherwise, you may request cancellation of an unfulfilled preorder before the order enters processing, fulfillment, personalization, or shipment.

Once fulfillment or processing begins, the order will be subject to the applicable return and refund provisions contained in these Terms.

When you preorder an ebook, the finished ebook may not be available for immediate download.

A temporary file, preorder confirmation, informational document, or other placeholder content may be provided before the official release date.

The completed ebook is expected to become available on or near the release date stated on the applicable product page.

Customers may receive access through their original download link, an updated download page, email notification, or another delivery method provided through Payhip or the applicable digital-delivery platform.

Customers are responsible for providing an accurate email address during checkout so that digital-product information and delivery notices can be received.

Physical preorder items, including signed books, will be processed and shipped according to the estimated fulfillment information provided on the product page.

Shipping dates may occur on or near the official release date and are not guaranteed delivery dates unless expressly stated otherwise.

If an order includes multiple products with different availability dates, items may be shipped together or separately depending on the fulfillment method and information shown during checkout.

Available shipping methods, rates, and estimated delivery times will be shown during checkout when applicable.

Processing and delivery estimates are not guarantees.

Delivery may be affected by holidays, severe weather, carrier interruptions, incorrect addresses, production delays, printing delays, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.

Additional shipping costs resulting from an incorrect, incomplete, or outdated address may be the customer’s responsibility.

When tracking information confirms delivery to the shipping address supplied by the customer, the order will generally be considered delivered.

If a package appears to be missing after confirmed delivery, please contact the carrier and email hello@adoreblackwood.com promptly so we can review the situation.

If we cannot ship an order within a period required by applicable law, we will provide any notice, cancellation option, or refund required by law.

Unless a product page states otherwise, unused physical products may be eligible for return within 14 calendar days after confirmed delivery.

To request a return, email hello@adoreblackwood.com before sending the product back.

Please include:

• Your name
• Order number
• Reason for the return request
• Photographs when the product arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect

Returned products must be unused, unworn, unwashed, and in their original condition and packaging.

Unless the return results from our error or a defective or incorrect product, customers are responsible for return-shipping costs.

Original shipping charges are generally nonrefundable unless otherwise required by law.

The following items are final sale unless they arrive damaged, defective, incorrect, or a refund is otherwise required by law:

• Ebooks and downloadable products
• Signed books
• Personalized books
• Custom-made or personalized merchandise
• Gift cards
• Clearance or final-sale products
• Products that have been used, worn, washed, altered, or damaged after delivery

Approved refunds will generally be issued to the original payment method.

Processing times may vary depending on Payhip, Stripe, PayPal, the customer’s bank, or another payment provider.

Nothing in this section limits consumer rights that cannot legally be waived.

Signed and personalized books are generally considered final-sale products because they are prepared specifically for the purchaser or offered as special editions.

Signed or personalized books are not eligible for return or exchange because of buyer preference or a change of mind unless otherwise stated on the product page.

If a signed or personalized book arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, contact us according to the Damaged or Incorrect Orders section below.

If your physical order arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, contact hello@adoreblackwood.com within seven calendar days of confirmed delivery.

Please include:

• Your name
• Order number
• Description of the problem
• Clear photographs of the product
• Clear photographs of the packaging when applicable

Depending on the circumstances and product availability, we may provide a replacement, exchange, store credit, partial refund, or full refund.

Do not discard damaged products or packaging until we have reviewed your request.

• The wrong file was delivered
• A refund is required by applicable law

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.”

We do not guarantee that the Website will always be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free from harmful components.

We do not guarantee that all Website content will always be accurate, complete, or current, although we make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate information.

Nothing on the Website constitutes legal, financial, medical, mental-health, or other professional advice.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty exclusions, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Williams Management and Consulting LLC, Adore Blackwood, Adoreland Publishing, and their owners, employees, contractors, and representatives will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Website or its products.

Where liability cannot legally be excluded, our total liability will not exceed the amount you paid for the product or transaction giving rise to the claim, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Williams Management and Consulting LLC, Adore Blackwood, Adoreland Publishing, and their owners, employees, contractors, and representatives from claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable expenses arising from:

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce that provision later.

These Terms and Conditions, the Privacy Policy, applicable shipping or return policies, product-page terms, and any terms displayed during checkout constitute the agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Website and purchases made through it.
