These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of this website, including all content, products, services, subscriptions, digital library access, and purchases offered by Invisible Empire Publishing LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not access or use this website.
For any purchase, subscription, or paid transaction completed through this website, your act of checking the box indicating your agreement to these Terms and completing checkout constitutes your affirmative assent, electronic signature, and entry into a legally binding agreement with Invisible Empire Publishing LLC.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction to use this website or make purchases through it. If you are under the age of majority, you may use this website only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms and is responsible for your use of the website.
2. Website Content and User Discretion
This website may contain book descriptions, excerpts, historical materials, political materials, philosophical materials, religious materials, images, or other content that some users may consider offensive, controversial, disturbing, or objectionable. You access and use such content voluntarily and at your own discretion.
The views expressed in books, excerpts, articles, and other content made available through this website are those of the relevant authors, publishers, or content creators, and your use of this website is at your own risk. Nothing on this website constitutes legal, medical, financial, therapeutic, or other professional advice.
3. Privacy
Your use of this website is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using this website, creating an account, making a purchase, or submitting information through this website, you consent to our collection, use, storage, and disclosure of your information as described in our Privacy Policy and as permitted by applicable law.
4. Accounts and Account Security
If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity occurring under your account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to update that information as necessary. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that contain false information, show signs of fraud or abuse, violate these Terms, or threaten the security or integrity of the website or other users.
5. Products, Availability, and Order Acceptance
All products, services, subscriptions, and content are subject to availability. We reserve the right, at any time and for any reason, to refuse, cancel, limit, or decline any order, including orders that appear inaccurate, incomplete, suspicious, fraudulent, abusive, unauthorized, or in violation of these Terms.
Prices, product descriptions, availability, shipping methods, and promotional offers may change at any time without notice. We make reasonable efforts to display product information accurately, but we do not warrant that product descriptions, images, excerpts, pricing, or other content are error-free, complete, or current.
Your receipt of an order confirmation does not guarantee acceptance of your order. We may correct pricing, listing, or inventory errors and cancel affected orders at our discretion, in which case any payment actually received for a canceled order will be refunded to the extent required by law.
6. Payments
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate billing, payment, and shipping information for all purchases. By submitting payment information, you authorize us and our third-party payment processors to charge the applicable amount for your order, subscription, shipping, taxes, tips, and any other charges clearly disclosed at checkout.
Payment transactions may be processed by third-party payment service providers and are also subject to the terms, policies, and security practices of those providers. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, errors, or system failures of third-party payment processors except to the extent required by law.
If we accept mailed checks, money orders, or other offline payment methods, we may delay processing or shipment until payment is received, accepted, and, where applicable, cleared.
7. Taxes
You are responsible for all applicable sales, use, value-added, excise, or other taxes associated with your purchase, except for taxes based solely on our net income. Any taxes collected by us will be added to your order total where required by law.
8. Shipping, Label Creation, Carrier Handoff, and Transfer of Responsibility
All orders are packed before shipment. Shipping labels are created only after postage has been purchased for the order. By checking the box indicating your agreement to these Terms and completing your purchase, you expressly acknowledge and agree that you are entering into a legally binding contract with Invisible Empire Publishing LLC, and that your acceptance of these Terms constitutes your affirmative assent, electronic signature, and a material condition of the sale.
Once postage has been purchased and a shipping label has been created for your order, your order is deemed processed, finalized, and released for shipment. Packages are generally tendered to the United States Postal Service or the selected carrier the same day the label is created or, if necessary, by the next business day. You acknowledge and agree that carrier intake delays, acceptance scan delays, tracking delays, or failures by the carrier to immediately update tracking do not alter the status of the order as processed, finalized, and released for shipment.
Upon our tender and handoff of the package to the United States Postal Service or the selected carrier, responsibility and risk of loss for the shipment transfer to the customer to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. After carrier handoff, we shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss, theft, delay, damage, misdelivery, non-delivery, missing package, tracking failure, carrier error, carrier misconduct, or any other shipping-related issue occurring during transport, delivery, or otherwise outside our direct possession and control.
You further acknowledge and agree that we do not guarantee the performance, handling, scanning, transport times, delivery times, or delivery outcomes of any postal service, courier, or shipping carrier. Any issue arising after the package has been handed off to the carrier, including but not limited to delayed scans, lost parcels, stolen parcels, missing parcels, damaged parcels, or carrier delivery disputes, shall be the responsibility of the customer, subject only to any non-waivable rights required by applicable law.
9. Shipping Delays
Any shipping or delivery time shown on this website, in product listings, in emails, or at checkout is an estimate only unless expressly stated otherwise. We do not guarantee delivery dates. If shipment is delayed, our obligations will be governed by applicable law and any posted shipping policy.
10. Returns, Refunds, and Chargebacks
Except as expressly stated in a separate posted return or refund policy, or as otherwise required by applicable law, all sales are final.
You agree not to initiate a payment dispute, chargeback, reversal, or similar claim in bad faith. If you submit a chargeback or payment dispute and we determine that the dispute is false, abusive, unauthorized, or inconsistent with these Terms, we reserve the right to present these Terms, order records, shipping records, delivery records, communications, and other supporting documentation in defense of the transaction and to pursue any rights and remedies available to us.
Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable rights you may have under applicable law or under the rules of a payment network or payment processor.
11. Digital Library and Subscription Terms
If we offer digital library access, memberships, recurring subscriptions, or other continuing paid services, such services are provided solely for your personal, non-commercial, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable use, subject to these Terms.
You may not copy, scrape, download in bulk, reproduce, redistribute, display, sell, sublicense, share, archive, modify, publish, transmit, reverse engineer, or otherwise exploit any digital library content except as expressly authorized by us in writing.
If your subscription renews automatically, by subscribing you authorize us and our payment processors to charge the recurring subscription fee, plus any applicable taxes and disclosed charges, at the intervals disclosed at signup until you cancel. You may cancel your subscription through your account, where that functionality is available, or by contacting us using the contact information listed below. Unless otherwise stated at signup or required by law, cancellation will take effect at the end of the then-current billing period, and no prorated refunds will be issued.
We may modify, suspend, discontinue, remove, or update any digital library content, feature, or subscription offering at any time. We may suspend or terminate access to the digital library or any subscription for fraud, abuse, nonpayment, suspected unauthorized sharing, intellectual property violations, or any other violation of these Terms.
12. Tips and Voluntary Contributions
If we offer optional tipping or support payments, all tips are voluntary contributions. Tips are not required to access products or services unless expressly stated otherwise at checkout.
By leaving a tip, you acknowledge that you are not receiving any separate or additional goods, services, ownership rights, investment rights, or guaranteed benefits in exchange for the tip beyond the content or transaction already provided. Except where required by law, all tips are final and non-refundable.
Tips are not charitable donations and are not tax-deductible. Any distribution of tips to authors, creators, or other designated recipients will be handled according to our internal policies, less applicable transaction fees, chargebacks, refunds, or reversals.
13. Intellectual Property
All content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, branding, images, page layouts, metadata, software, digital files, audio, video, downloadable materials, book previews, library materials, and compilations, is owned by or licensed to Invisible Empire Publishing LLC and is protected by copyright, trademark, trade dress, and other applicable laws.
Except as expressly permitted by us in writing, you may not copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, distribute, publicly display, modify, create derivative works from, sell, license, or exploit any content from this website.

15. Termination
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the website, your account, any subscription, or any order-related privileges at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraud or abuse, created risk or legal exposure for us, or otherwise acted inconsistently with the security, operation, or integrity of the website or our business.
Termination does not affect provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination, including provisions relating to payments due, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and governing law.

19. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
Please contact us first if you have a dispute so that we may attempt to resolve it informally.
Except for claims properly brought in small claims court, claims seeking temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, or claims relating to intellectual property, fraud, unauthorized access, misuse of the website, or collection of amounts owed, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this website, any order, any payment, any subscription, any tip, any digital library access, or these Terms shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis.
The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, as modified by these Terms to the extent permitted by law. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all threshold arbitrability issues, except where applicable law requires otherwise. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
YOU AND INVISIBLE EMPIRE PUBLISHING LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLAIMANT, OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
If any portion of this arbitration provision or class action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy, then that claim or remedy shall proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction, but the remainder of this section shall remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
20. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms and any dispute not subject to arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, except to the extent superseded by applicable federal law or by non-waivable consumer protection laws.

We shall not be liable for any delay, interruption, failure, or inability to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, severe weather, fire, flood, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, supplier failures, utility outages, internet or telecommunications failures, cyberattacks, embargoes, epidemics, pandemics, governmental orders, transportation disruptions, or carrier-related disruptions.
22. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be effective when posted on this website, unless a later effective date is stated. Your continued use of the website after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. For purchases or disputes arising before revised Terms become effective, the version in effect at the time of the relevant transaction or event will govern to the extent required by applicable law.
23. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
24. No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of that provision or of any other provision.
