Terms of Service

Last updated: October 2026

Overview

This website is operated by Katya Brackett. Throughout this website, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Katya Brackett.

By visiting katyabrackett.com, using any part of this website, subscribing to communications, or purchasing products through this website, you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”).

These Terms apply to all visitors and users of the website, including browsers, customers, subscribers, and purchasers.

Please read these Terms carefully before using this website. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the website or its services.

We may update these Terms periodically. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

1. Online Store

This website may offer books, merchandise, signed editions, special editions, bundles, promotional items, or other products for direct purchase.

The online store may be powered by WooCommerce and other third-party services necessary to process purchases, payments, shipping, and fulfillment.

By placing an order, you represent that the information you provide is current, complete, and accurate.

You agree not to use this website or its products for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose.

2. Eligibility

By using this website or placing an order, you represent that you are legally permitted to enter into a binding transaction in your jurisdiction.

If you permit a minor to use this website, you are responsible for their use of the website and any purchases made with your authorization.

3. Products and Availability

We make reasonable efforts to display and describe products accurately.

However:

  • colors may vary depending on your screen or device
  • handmade, signed, personalized, or small-batch products may have minor variations
  • product packaging may vary
  • availability may change without notice
  • quantities may be limited

We reserve the right to modify, discontinue, limit, or refuse the sale of any product at any time.

Products listed as limited, signed, exclusive, special edition, preorder, or while-supplies-last may sell out and may not be restocked.

4. Prices

Prices are displayed in the currency shown at checkout and may change without notice.

Price changes do not affect orders that have already been completed and accepted unless an obvious pricing or technical error occurred.

Taxes, shipping charges, duties, or other applicable fees may be added at checkout where required.

5. Orders

Submitting an order does not guarantee acceptance of that order.

We reserve the right to refuse, limit, or cancel an order for reasons including:

  • suspected fraud
  • unauthorized payment
  • incorrect pricing
  • inventory errors
  • duplicate orders
  • reseller activity
  • shipping restrictions
  • technical problems
  • violation of these Terms

If an order is canceled after payment has been collected, the applicable amount will be refunded using the original payment method when reasonably possible.

We may contact you using the email address or other contact information supplied with your order if an order requires clarification.

6. Billing and Payment Information

You agree to provide accurate billing, shipping, and payment information.

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. Their own terms and privacy policies may apply.

We do not ordinarily receive or store complete credit or debit card numbers when payments are processed by third-party payment services.

7. Shipping and Delivery

Physical orders will be shipped according to the shipping methods and availability offered at checkout.

Any estimated processing or delivery times are estimates rather than guarantees unless expressly stated otherwise.

We are not responsible for carrier delays, weather events, customs delays, incorrect addresses supplied by customers, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

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

Additional details regarding processing, shipping, lost packages, and international orders may be provided in a separate Shipping Policy.

8. Preorders

Certain products may be sold before their expected release or fulfillment date.

A preorder may be charged at the time the order is placed.

Estimated release, printing, signing, or fulfillment dates may change because of publishing schedules, manufacturing delays, shipping delays, supply issues, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

If a significant preorder change occurs, we may provide updated information using the email address associated with the order.

9. Signed, Personalized, and Limited-Edition Products

Signed, personalized, limited-edition, made-to-order, or otherwise customized products may be subject to additional restrictions on returns, exchanges, or cancellations.

Because personalized and limited products may not be suitable for resale, they may be considered final sale except where the product arrives damaged, defective, incorrect, or where applicable law requires otherwise.

Additional details will be stated in the applicable Returns & Refund Policy or product listing.

10. Returns, Exchanges, and Refunds

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

Unless otherwise stated in that policy or required by applicable law, buyers should not assume that a purchase is eligible for return or refund merely because they changed their mind.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot legally be waived.

11. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Orders

If a physical item arrives materially damaged, defective, or different from what was ordered, please contact us within the time stated in our Returns & Refund Policy.

We may request:

  • photographs of the item
  • photographs of packaging
  • order information
  • shipping information
  • other reasonable documentation

Depending on the circumstances, an appropriate remedy may include replacement, refund, store credit, or another resolution.

12. Digital Content and BookFunnel

Although ebooks may primarily be sold through third-party retailers such as Amazon, this website may occasionally offer digital bonus content, reader magnets, downloads, promotional materials, or other digital products.

Digital content may be delivered using BookFunnel or another delivery service.

Digital items are generally not returnable once delivered or accessed, except where required by applicable law or where a technical problem prevents delivery and cannot reasonably be resolved.

Unauthorized copying, sharing, redistribution, resale, or uploading of copyrighted digital content is prohibited.

13. Amazon and Other Third-Party Retailers

Books or other products may also be available through Amazon or other third-party retailers.

Purchases made through third-party retailers are governed by that retailer’s terms, refund policies, shipping policies, and customer-service procedures.

We cannot directly issue refunds, replacements, or order changes for transactions completed entirely through third-party retailers.
