Welcome to jsdraven.com (the “Site”), operated by J.S. d’Raven (“we,” “us,” “our”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Use of the Site

You may use the Site for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes, including browsing content, subscribing to the newsletter, and following links to purchase books or merchandise from third-party retailers. You agree not to:

• Use the Site in any way that violates applicable law or regulation.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its servers, or any connected systems.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Site’s functionality (including through malware, scraping bots, or excessive automated requests).
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.

2. Intellectual Property

All content on the Site — including but not limited to text, book excerpts, cover art, graphics, logos, and the overall design — is the property of J.S. d’Raven or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted (such as sharing a link to a page, or brief quotations for reviews with proper attribution), you may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from Site content without prior written permission.

3. Third-Party Links and Retailers

The Site includes links to third-party retailers (e.g., Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books) and an external publishing/merchandise site where books and related products can be purchased. These third-party sites are independently owned and operated. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, availability, pricing, order fulfillment, or terms of service. Any purchase you make through a linked site is a transaction between you and that third party, governed entirely by that party’s own terms and policies.

4. User-Generated Content

If the Site allows comments or other user submissions, you retain ownership of what you post, but by submitting it you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to display, reproduce, and moderate that content in connection with operating the Site. We reserve the right to remove any content, at our discretion, that we consider inappropriate, off-topic, or in violation of these Terms.

5. Newsletter and Communications

By subscribing to the newsletter, you consent to receive email communications from us. You may unsubscribe at any time via the link provided in each email. See our [Privacy Policy] for details on how subscriber information is handled.

6. Disclaimers

The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, J.S. d’Raven shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Site — including but not limited to loss of data, loss of goodwill, or any damages arising from your interaction with a linked third-party site.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless J.S. d’Raven from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the Site or your violation of these Terms.

9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Washington.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

11. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
