Terms of Service

Please read carefully. This site is the front door of the company, not a shop — nothing is sold here. Anyone, anywhere, is welcome to read it; our sales, shipping and memberships are United States only, and they happen on our brand sites under those sites’ own terms (Section 3). Section 14 contains a BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT and a CLASS ACTION WAIVER that affect your legal rights.

1. Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Service are an agreement between you and Winterwolf Worlds LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, formerly named Winterwolf Enterprises LLC. They govern your use of this site, winterwolfworlds.com, and of the email addresses that end in winterwolfworlds.com. By using this site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

They work together with our Privacy Policy, which describes what we do with information.

2. What This Site Is

This site exists to tell you who stands behind the names. It lists the brands Winterwolf Worlds publishes and gives you one address to write to.

There is nothing to buy here, nothing to sign up for, no account to create and no file to download. The information on this page is offered in good faith and kept as accurate as we can, but it is descriptive, not a promise about any particular book, product, release or date.

3. Our Brands, and Whose Terms Govern What

Winterwolf Worlds publishes Winterwolf Press, Little Dark Why’s, Momma Hazel, Write Your Books, the novels of Laura C. Cantu, and Mystical Mischief, which is still in development.

Each brand site has its own Terms of Service and its own Privacy Policy, and those govern what happens there. If you signed up for a mailing list, bought something, joined a membership, claimed a numbered edition, or entered a promotion, you did it on a brand site, and that site’s terms are the ones that apply to it. These Terms do not replace them and do not reduce any right they give you.

One company stands behind all of them. If a brand site’s terms are silent on something, or if you are not sure which set applies, write to us and we will tell you plainly rather than leave you guessing.

4. If You See a Charge From Us

Nothing is sold on this site, but every sale made by any of our brands is made by Winterwolf Worlds LLC, and a bank or card statement will read WINTERWOLF WORLDS — not the name of the site you bought from. That is often why people arrive on this page.

If you see that charge and do not recognise it, please write to [email protected] before disputing it, with the date and the amount. We would much rather sort it out with you directly, and we can usually tell you within a day which brand it came from.

5. Eligibility, Age, and Where We Operate

Everyone is welcome to read this site. Wherever you live, you may read it and write to us.

Our work is written for adults, and our brand sites require you to confirm that you are 18 or older before any form will submit. You must be 18 or older, or have the involvement of a parent or guardian who is, to enter into any agreement with us.

We sell and ship in the United States only. Paid items, physical goods and memberships are available only to people located in the United States. That is a limit on what we can sell you, not on whether you are welcome. We operate from the State of Nevada.

6. Ownership of Site Content

All content on this site — including the artwork, photography, names, graphics, text, designs, logos and trademarks — is owned by or licensed to us and protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual-property laws. “Winterwolf Worlds”, “Winterwolf Press”, “Little Dark Why’s”, “Momma Hazel”, “Write Your Books” and “Mystical Mischief” are our brand names.

You may link to this site, and you may quote a short passage with attribution, as ordinary fair use allows. You may not copy this site for redistribution, reproduce it commercially, distribute, modify, publish, display publicly, sell, license, scrape or data-mine its content, you may not create derivative works from it, and you may not use it to train any machine-learning or artificial intelligence system, without our prior written permission.

You may not use our names, logos or brands in a way that suggests we endorse, supply or are associated with something when we are not.

7. Limited License and Acceptable Use

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use this site for personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms. You agree not to: misuse or interfere with the site or its security; attempt unauthorized access to any system or account; introduce viruses or harmful code; use bots, scrapers or automated means except standard search indexing; impersonate anyone; harass, threaten or harm others; infringe anyone’s rights; violate any law; or use the site in any way that could damage or overburden it. We may investigate and take any action we consider appropriate, including suspending or terminating access.

8. Third-Party Services and Links

This site links to our own brand sites, which are ours and are covered by their own terms. It may also link to services we do not control, such as a store, a platform or a payment processor. We are not responsible for the content, policies or practices of any site we do not operate, and a link is not an endorsement. Their own terms and privacy policies apply when you go there.

The providers that run this site and carry our mail are named in our Privacy Policy, so you can see who touches what.

9. Intellectual Property Complaints

We respect copyright and expect the same. This site carries no user-submitted content, but if you believe something published here infringes your rights, write to [email protected] with enough detail to identify the work and the page, and how to reach you. We will look into it promptly and remove anything we should not be using.

10. Accessibility

We want this site to be usable by everyone, including people using screen readers, keyboard navigation or magnification. If something here is hard to use or impossible to read, tell us at [email protected] and we will fix it and, in the meantime, get you the information another way.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

This site and all its content are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability and security. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free or free of harmful components, or that its content will be accurate or current. You use the site at your own risk. Nothing in these Terms excludes any warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Winterwolf Worlds LLC and its owners, members, managers, employees, contractors, partners, licensors and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, revenue, profits, goodwill or opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, this site, or relating to these Terms, even if advised of the possibility.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims relating to this site or these Terms will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Nothing is sold on this site, so where you paid us nothing, the amount paid is zero. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you. This Section does not limit anything owed to you under a brand site’s own terms for something you bought there.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Winterwolf Worlds LLC and its owners, members, managers, employees, contractors, partners, licensors and service providers from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of this site, any information you provide us, your violation of these Terms or any law, or your infringement of any third party’s rights.

14. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Agreement to arbitrate. You and we agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this site, these Terms, our Privacy Policy, or our relationship (a “Dispute”) will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except as provided below. This agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

How arbitration works. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be seated in Nevada or, at your election, conducted by telephone, video or written submissions, or in the county where you live. The arbitrator decides all issues, except that a court may decide whether the class action waiver below is enforceable.

Class action and jury waiver. You and we agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and NOT as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or preside over any class or representative proceeding. YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual-property rights.

30-day right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days after you first accept these Terms by writing to [email protected], or to the postal address in Section 18, giving your name and a statement that you opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, Section 15 governs your Disputes. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

Survival. This Section survives termination of your relationship with us.

15. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any Dispute are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada and the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, wherever you are located. For any matter not subject to arbitration, you and we consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Nevada. Nothing in this Section removes any protection given to you by the mandatory law of the country in which you live that cannot be excluded by agreement.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time by posting the revised version and changing the “Last updated” date. If changes are material, we will provide reasonable notice, such as by a notice on the site. Your continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

Adding, renaming or retiring a brand is not a change to these Terms. What each brand offers lives on that brand’s own site, and changes there.

17. General

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about this site. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest stays in force and that provision is limited only as far as necessary. Our failure to enforce something is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets. Headings are for convenience only. Sections 6, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 17 survive.
