Terms of use and refunds
Who we are
Aevum Lectio is an independent press run by 70.118.149 Diego Ribeiro de Souza (sole trader, Brazilian CNPJ 70.118.149/0001-55), Rua Manoel Ribeiro, 596, Cidade Nova, Uberaba (MG), 38082-386, Brazil. Contact: see the contact page.
Which law applies
These terms are governed by Brazilian law. If you are a consumer, you also keep the mandatory consumer-protection rights of the country where you live, including the right to bring a claim in your local courts where that law allows it, and nothing here takes them away.
The site
The content of this site (presentation texts, blog articles, cover images and mockups) belongs to Aevum Lectio. You may quote short passages, crediting the source. The original texts of the books are in the public domain; the notes, typesetting and covers of our editions are protected by copyright.
E-books
When you buy an e-book you receive a personal-use license: you may read it on as many devices as you like and keep a backup copy, but you may not resell, distribute or publish the file, or share it in bulk.
The download link arrives by email and on the purchase confirmation page. It is valid for 30 days and allows up to 5 downloads. If the link expires or you lose the file, write to us through the contact page and we will send another. E-books you bought are also available in your account.
If the payment for an e-book is refunded or disputed with your bank, access to that purchase's download ends. If the dispute is closed in the publisher's favor, access comes back.
Prices, taxes and payment
Prices are shown in US dollars (or in the currency shown at checkout). Payment is processed by Stripe. Where the law requires us to charge value-added tax (VAT), goods and services tax or sales tax, it is calculated from your location and shown before you confirm the payment; the amount you see at that moment is the amount you pay. Your bank or card issuer may add its own fees or exchange-rate charges. Aevum Lectio never receives or stores your card details.
For now, we do not sell e-books to buyers in the European Union or the United Kingdom, until we complete the tax registration those places require.
Your right to withdraw (14 days)
If you live in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you have the right to withdraw from the purchase within 14 days without giving a reason. We offer the same 14 days to buyers in other countries, except where your local law gives you more.
Immediate download. An e-book is delivered at once as a download. At checkout we ask you to tick two separate boxes:
- you ask us to start delivering the e-book immediately, before the 14 days end; and
- you understand that, once the download is made available, you lose your right to withdraw.
If you tick both boxes, the right to withdraw ends when we make the download available. If you do not, you may withdraw within 14 days of the purchase and we will refund you within 14 days of your notice, using the payment method you used.
To withdraw, write to us through the contact page, from the email used for the purchase, saying which e-book it is.
Defective files. Whatever you ticked, if the file arrived defective (for example, it does not open on your reader) or is not as described, tell us. We will fix it or replace it, or refund you if we cannot, and this does not affect your legal rights.
Print books
The print editions sold on this site (paperback, hardcover, and cloth hardcover with dust jacket) are printed on demand by a partner printer and shipped only to addresses in the United States. The book price, shipping, tax and estimated delivery time are shown before payment.
Printing starts about one hour after payment is confirmed. Until then you may cancel through the contact page and get your money back. Once printing has started the order can no longer be cancelled, because each copy is made for you, so the 14-day withdrawal right above does not apply to print books unless the law where you live says otherwise.
If the book arrives damaged or with a printing defect, tell us within 30 days of delivery, with a photo, and we will send a new copy at no cost or refund you. This does not limit any right the law gives you.
Print books bought on Amazon follow Amazon’s own returns policy.
Errors in the books
If you find an error in the text or in a note, tell us. Confirmed corrections go into the next printings and e-book versions.
Changes
These terms may change. The version in force is always the one published on this page, and a change does not affect purchases already made.
