Welcome to the Orin Vale online store. These Terms of Service govern your use of this website and your purchase and use of products offered through it.

Throughout these Terms, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the operator of the Orin Vale store. The terms “you” and “your” refer to any visitor, customer, or other user of the website.

By accessing this website, purchasing a product, or otherwise using our services, you agree to these Terms of Service and any policies referenced within them. If you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use the website or purchase products through it.

1. ONLINE STORE TERMS

You may use this website and its products only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

You must not use our website, products, services, or content to violate applicable laws or regulations, infringe intellectual property rights, distribute malicious software, interfere with the operation of the website, commit fraud, or engage in other unlawful or abusive activity.

You are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide when placing an order is accurate and complete.

2. PRODUCTS

The Orin Vale store currently offers digital products, including digital editions of The Wrong Century.

Digital products may be delivered electronically after successful payment through a download page, email, customer account, or another digital delivery method.

Product descriptions, formats, prices, availability, and other product information may be changed from time to time.

We may introduce paperback books, physical books, or other products in the future. Additional terms and policies may apply to physical products when they become available.

3. DIGITAL PRODUCT LICENSE

When you purchase an eBook or other digital product from our store, you are purchasing a limited right to access and use a copy of that product for your personal, non-commercial use unless otherwise stated.

You are not purchasing ownership of the copyright or other intellectual property rights associated with the work.

Your purchase does not give you permission to commercially exploit, reproduce, publish, distribute, resell, sublicense, or otherwise make the work available to others except where expressly authorized by us or permitted by applicable law.

4. COPYRIGHT AND REDISTRIBUTION

The Wrong Century, along with other original books, written material, graphics, branding, logos, artwork, website content, and associated materials offered through this store, may be protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Unless permitted by applicable law or expressly authorized by the relevant rights holder, you may not:

• Upload the complete eBook to websites, social networks, file-sharing services, cloud-sharing services, forums, or public databases.
• Resell or commercially redistribute copies of the eBook.
• Send or distribute copies to others as a substitute for their own purchase.
• Reproduce substantial portions of the work for commercial distribution.
• Remove copyright notices or other rights-management information for the purpose of unauthorized distribution.
• Present our original material as your own work.

Normal lawful uses, including rights that cannot legally be restricted under applicable copyright law, are not affected by this section.

5. ORIN VALE CONTENT AND BRANDING

The names, branding, visual identity, logos, graphics, original website material, promotional material, and other intellectual property associated with Orin Vale may not be used in a manner that falsely suggests authorization, endorsement, partnership, or official affiliation.

Nothing contained on this website grants you ownership of the Orin Vale brand or any associated intellectual property.

6. BOOK CONTENT AND AUTHOR'S PERSPECTIVE

The Wrong Century contains commentary, observations, interpretations, opinions, questions, arguments, and the author's perspective on a variety of historical, cultural, technological, financial, religious, political, and social subjects.

The book is intended as a literary and informational work that encourages readers to think critically and investigate subjects independently.

Opinions, interpretations, predictions, observations, or conclusions expressed within the book should not automatically be understood as independently verified statements of fact simply because they appear in the work.

Readers are encouraged to evaluate claims, consult additional sources where appropriate, and reach their own conclusions.

Nothing contained in the book or on this website should be interpreted as professional legal, financial, medical, investment, or other regulated professional advice.

7. ORDERS

We reserve the right, where reasonably necessary, to refuse, limit, or cancel an order.

This may include orders that appear fraudulent, unauthorized, duplicated, made using incorrect pricing caused by an obvious technical error, or otherwise violate these Terms.

If we cancel an order after payment has successfully been collected and the product has not otherwise been lawfully supplied, any refund legally or contractually due will be handled through the original payment method where reasonably possible.

8. PRICES AND PAYMENTS

Prices displayed on the website may change without prior notice.

The price shown during checkout, together with any applicable taxes or other charges disclosed during the checkout process, will generally be the amount charged for the order.

We attempt to ensure that product and pricing information is accurate. However, technical, typographical, or administrative errors may occasionally occur.

Where permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to correct genuine pricing or product-information errors.

Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers. Your use of those services may also be subject to the payment provider's applicable terms and policies.

9. DIGITAL DELIVERY

Customers are responsible for providing accurate contact information, including a valid email address where required for delivery.

If you purchase a digital product but do not receive access, please contact us so that we can investigate the issue.

You should not make repeated purchases simply because a delivery email is delayed.

10. RETURNS AND REFUNDS

Returns, cancellations, exchanges, and refunds are governed by our separate Return & Refund Policy.

Because digital products cannot be physically returned once delivered, different rules may apply to digital products compared with physical products.

Nothing in these Terms or our Return & Refund Policy is intended to remove consumer rights that cannot legally be waived or excluded.

11. ACCURACY OF WEBSITE INFORMATION

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate product descriptions, pricing, availability, images, and other website information.

However, occasional typographical errors, technical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions may occur.

We may correct or update website information when necessary, subject to applicable law.

12. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Our website may rely on third-party services for functions such as website hosting, ecommerce infrastructure, payment processing, digital delivery, analytics, or other functionality.

Those third parties may operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

We are not responsible for independent third-party websites or services merely because they can be accessed through a link from our website, except to the extent responsibility cannot legally be excluded.

13. THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Our website may contain links to external websites that we do not operate.

Providing a link does not necessarily mean that we endorse everything published or offered by that website.

You access independent third-party websites at your own discretion and should review their applicable terms and privacy policies.

14. PROHIBITED USES

You must not misuse this website or its services.

Prohibited activity includes attempts to gain unauthorized access to systems or accounts, introducing malware or harmful code, interfering with website functionality, committing payment fraud, impersonating another person, unlawfully collecting information about other users, or using our intellectual property in violation of applicable law or these Terms.

We may restrict access to the website or services where reasonably necessary to address misuse, fraud, security threats, or violations of these Terms.

15. PERSONAL INFORMATION

Our collection and processing of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.

By using the website, you acknowledge that information may be processed as described in that policy and as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.

16. AVAILABILITY OF THE WEBSITE

We do not guarantee that the website or every feature will operate without interruption at all times.

Maintenance, updates, technical problems, internet outages, third-party service failures, security issues, or circumstances outside our reasonable control may temporarily affect availability.

Where appropriate, we may modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the website or services.

17. DISCLAIMER

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided without guarantees beyond those expressly stated or legally required.

We do not guarantee that every reader will agree with, benefit from, or reach the same conclusions as the author of The Wrong Century.

A customer's disagreement with an opinion, argument, interpretation, or conclusion contained in a book does not by itself establish that the digital product is defective.

Nothing in this section excludes warranties, guarantees, or consumer protections that cannot legally be excluded.

18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising solely from use of the website or products where such liability may lawfully be limited.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including any liability or consumer remedy that applicable law does not permit us to exclude.

19. INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS

Our website may be accessible to customers in many countries.

Because laws and consumer protections vary between jurisdictions, certain provisions of these Terms may apply differently depending on where you live and where the seller operates.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to remove mandatory statutory rights that apply to your purchase and cannot legally be waived by contract.

20. SEVERABILITY

If a particular provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or limited to the extent necessary where legally possible, while the remaining provisions will continue to apply.

21. NO WAIVER

If we do not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not necessarily mean that we permanently waive the right to enforce it later.

22. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time as our store, products, services, or legal requirements change.

The latest version will be made available on this website, and the Last updated date at the top of these Terms will indicate when the most recent version was published.
