We may use your message to reply to you, and we may ignore or delete anything we consider inappropriate. We do not publish messages without asking you first.

6. Links to other websites

The Site links to other websites, such as our official website and book retailers. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, products or practices. A link is not an endorsement.

The Site contains advertising and may contain affiliate links. See our Disclaimer for the full disclosure.

8. Books, products and third-party purchases

The Site may mention books, merchandise or other products. Descriptions, prices and availability can change at any time without notice, and we cannot promise they are always complete, current or error-free. If you buy a book or product through a retailer or another third-party website, that transaction is governed by that party’s own terms, privacy policy, shipping and returns rules, not ours.

9. Not professional advice

The content on the Site is general information and is not professional, legal, financial, medical, psychological or educational advice. Please speak to a qualified professional when you need one. See the Disclaimer.

10. No warranty and limitation of liability

The Site and its content are provided “as is” for general information.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the state in which the author lives, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If the law of your country gives you the right to bring a claim in your own courts, nothing in these terms limits that right.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms and the Site at any time. The date above shows the latest version. Using the Site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
