3. Website Use

You may use the website for lawful personal shopping, browsing, and communication. You agree not to:

Use the website for an unlawful, fraudulent, or abusive purpose.
Interfere with the operation, security, or availability of the website.
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data.
Use automated tools to scrape, copy, overload, or monitor the website in a way that harms our systems or violates applicable law.
Submit information that is false, misleading, defamatory, infringing, or unlawful.
Introduce malicious code, viruses, or other harmful material.
Impersonate Mountain Bookshop or another person or business.

We may suspend or restrict access when reasonably necessary to protect the website, our customers, our business, or third parties.

4. Products and Product Information

We make reasonable efforts to describe and display products accurately. Product availability, photographs, colours, dimensions, editions, formats, packaging, and other details may vary by product and may change without notice.

Some product characteristics are inherent to the item itself. For example, printed materials may vary slightly by edition, binding, printing, or publisher packaging. Images may also appear different depending on your monitor or device.

The presence of a product on the website does not guarantee that it will remain available. If a product becomes unavailable after you place an order, we may contact you to discuss an alternative or cancel and refund the unavailable item.

5. Prices, Promotions, and Errors

Prices are displayed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated. Shipping charges, applicable taxes, and other order costs are shown at checkout when applicable.

We may change prices, product information, promotions, or availability at any time. A promotion may be subject to additional terms displayed with that promotion.

If a product, promotion, or order total contains an obvious typographical or technical error, we may correct the error, contact you for confirmation, or cancel and refund the affected order. We are not required to fulfil an order at an obviously erroneous price where applicable law permits cancellation.

6. Orders and Acceptance

When you submit an order, you are making an offer to purchase the selected products. An order confirmation acknowledges that we received your order; it does not necessarily mean that the order has been accepted or shipped.

We may accept, limit, refuse, or cancel an order for reasons including product unavailability, payment failure, suspected fraud, incorrect pricing, shipping limitations, or an apparent violation of these Terms.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate information for your order, including your name, email address, billing information, shipping address, and payment information. You are responsible for updating information that changes before fulfilment.

7. Payment Terms

Online purchases are paid through PayPal or credit card payment options available at checkout. By submitting an order, you authorize the applicable payment provider to process the total amount displayed at checkout, including applicable shipping charges and taxes.

Payment authorization, capture, verification, fraud screening, and refunds may be handled by third-party payment providers. For more information, review our Payment Policy and Privacy Policy.

8. Shipping and Delivery

We currently ship online orders within the United States. Standard shipping is $6.90 USD for qualifying orders under $99, and orders with a merchandise subtotal of $99 or more qualify for free standard shipping, subject to the conditions shown at checkout.

Orders generally require 1–3 business days to process and an estimated 5–10 business days in transit after processing. These are estimates, not guaranteed delivery dates. For details about destinations, delivery estimates, tracking, delays, and lost or damaged packages, review our Shipping Policy.

9. Returns and Refunds

Eligible physical products may generally be returned within 14 calendar days of delivery, subject to the conditions and exclusions in our Return & Refund Policy. Approved refunds are processed within 7 business days after the return is received and approved, and are sent to the original payment method.

For full information about return eligibility, non-returnable items, return shipping, damaged products, and cancellations, review our Return & Refund Policy.

10. Intellectual Property

The website and its content—including text, product descriptions, photographs, graphics, logos, designs, layout, software, and other materials—are owned by or licensed to Mountain Bookshop and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use the website for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, publish, sell, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit website content without our prior written permission.

The Mountain Bookshop name, logo, and related brand elements may not be used in a way that suggests an affiliation, endorsement, or sponsorship without our written permission.

11. Reviews, Feedback, and User Submissions

If you submit a review, comment, suggestion, photograph, testimonial, or other content to us, you represent that you have the right to submit it and that it is truthful, lawful, and not misleading.

You must not submit content that is defamatory, abusive, fraudulent, obscene, discriminatory, infringing, or harmful. We may remove or decline to publish content at our discretion.

By submitting content to us, you grant Mountain Bookshop a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, display, edit, and distribute that content for business, customer-service, marketing, or website purposes, subject to applicable law. You should not submit confidential information that you do not want us to use.

12. Third-Party Links and Services

The website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including payment providers, shipping tools, social platforms, and other resources. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, or privacy practices.

Your use of a third-party website is governed by that third party’s own terms and policies. A link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement or guarantee by Mountain Bookshop.

13. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not guarantee that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or available at all times.

We do not guarantee that product descriptions, photographs, availability, prices, or other website content will always be complete, current, or free from errors. We do, however, aim to correct material errors and provide customers with accurate information needed to make informed purchase decisions.

Nothing in these Terms limits any consumer protection, warranty, or other right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mountain Bookshop and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, service providers, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity arising from or related to your use of the website or purchase of products.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for a claim related to an order or the website will not exceed the amount you paid for the specific product or order giving rise to the claim.

These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including certain consumer, privacy, fraud, or personal-injury rights.

15. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Mountain Bookshop and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and service providers from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising from your unlawful use of the website, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights.

16. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute arising from these Terms, the website, or an order will be handled in the state or federal courts located in California, unless applicable law gives you the right to bring the dispute elsewhere or requires another process. Nothing in this section limits a consumer’s non-waivable rights under applicable law.

17. Severability

If a court finds any provision of these Terms unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Return & Refund Policy, Shipping Policy, Privacy Policy, Payment Policy, and any additional terms displayed at checkout, constitute the entire agreement between you and Mountain Bookshop regarding your use of the website and purchase of products, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

19. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms when our website, products, services, business operations, or legal obligations change. The current version will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. Your continued use of the website after an update means that you accept the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.
