Acceptance of Terms
By accessing the website, submitting a form, subscribing to updates, purchasing merchandise, registering for an event, or interacting with HT & CO Publishing online, you agree to follow these Terms of Service and all applicable laws. If you do not agree, do not use the website or services.
Website Use
You may use this website for lawful personal, editorial, shopping, event, and informational purposes. You may not attempt to disrupt the website, bypass security, scrape data at scale, submit malicious code, impersonate another person, interfere with checkout, or use the website in a way that harms HT & CO Publishing, its customers, authors, partners, or service providers.
Products and Availability
Product descriptions, images, sizes, pricing, inventory, and availability may change without notice. We make reasonable efforts to display accurate merchandise and book information, but we do not guarantee that every description, image, color, price, or stock count will be error-free at all times. We may correct errors, update product information, cancel unavailable items, or issue refunds when fulfillment is not possible.
Orders and Payment
Orders are not final until payment is authorized and accepted. Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. By placing an order, you confirm that you are authorized to use the payment method provided and that all billing, shipping, and contact information is accurate. We may refuse or cancel orders that appear fraudulent, incomplete, abusive, mispriced, unavailable, or otherwise unable to be fulfilled.
Shipping and Fulfillment
Some items may ship from HT & CO Publishing inventory, while other merchandise may be fulfilled through print-on-demand or third-party production partners. Shipping times are estimates and may be affected by inventory, production, carrier delays, weather, holidays, address issues, or other circumstances outside our control. You are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.
Returns, Exchanges, and Damaged Items
If an item arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, contact us promptly with your order details and clear photos. Limited releases, event merchandise, digital items, books, and made-to-order products may be final sale unless damaged or incorrectly fulfilled. Return or exchange approval is handled case by case and may require the item to be unused and in its original condition.
Events
Event dates, locations, guests, times, ticket availability, and programming may change. HT & CO Publishing may reschedule, modify, or cancel events when necessary. Event attendance may be subject to venue rules, safety requirements, age restrictions, ticket terms, and conduct standards. Disruptive, unsafe, or unlawful behavior may result in removal without refund.
Newsletter and Communications
When you subscribe, submit a contact form, place an order, or register interest in an event, you authorize us to contact you about your request, order, event, updates, or related publishing and merchandise news. You may unsubscribe from promotional emails when an unsubscribe option is provided. Transactional or service-related messages may still be sent when needed.
User Submissions
If you send messages, author inquiries, manuscripts, pitches, event requests, testimonials, photos, or other materials, you are responsible for ensuring you have the right to submit them. Submitting materials does not create a publishing agreement, employment relationship, partnership, confidentiality obligation, or guarantee of review, response, acceptance, compensation, or return of materials unless separately agreed in writing.

The website, brand names, logos, book titles, product designs, photographs, artwork, copy, layouts, graphics, and other content are owned by HT & CO Publishing or its licensors, authors, artists, partners, or suppliers. You may not copy, reproduce, sell, modify, distribute, display, or exploit site content without written permission, except for limited personal use or legally permitted fair use.
Third-Party Services
The website may rely on third-party services for payment processing, shipping, email, analytics, print-on-demand fulfillment, embedded content, or other business operations. Those services may have their own terms and privacy practices. HT & CO Publishing is not responsible for third-party websites, platforms, outages, policies, or actions outside our control.
